With the increasing popularity of electronic payments, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to see paper money in daily life, but this does not mean that paper money will be withdrawn from the market, but many people have begun to collect various paper money.
In fact, in the collection circle, various versions of the one-yuan banknote are quite popular, and the fourth edition of the one-yuan banknote that has been issued has two beautiful minority girls, one of whom is a beautiful side face of a Dong girl at the age of 16.
What kind of coincidence did this girl have to leave her side face on the one-dollar bill, and how did this magical experience affect the girl's life?
By chance, I was lucky to be selected
The girl, who was fortunate enough to appear on the renminbi, has a rather ethnic name, "Shi Niyin", and she lives with her family in an ethnic minority village in the mountains of Guizhou.
Although there are many beauties in the ethnic minority village, she is still the most dazzling one among the many young and beautiful girls.
Whenever Shi Niyin passes by the village, there will always be countless young people in the village who are attracted by her, but she will never be complacent because of this, but live her life very low-key and hardworking.
The reason why Shi Niyin is so diligent and willing to work is also because her family conditions are relatively difficult, the villages in the mountains are already poor, and the conditions of Shi Niyin's family are even poorer.
Her parents have to pull six children, big and small, and the money they earn is completely unable to support the family's expenses, so the young Shi Niyin will always try her best to help her family.
Fortunately, she not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has dexterous hands that can weave very beautiful cloth and handicrafts, which are sold in the market in her spare time to support the family.
It was also in the process of rushing to the market that Shi Maoyin encountered the opportunity that others could hard-find in their lives, and let her face be printed on the RMB.
On that day, Shi Milk brought her best friend to the market to wander around, wanting to see if there was a chance to step out of her own weaving objects.
As everyone knows, there is a person who has been secretly observing her for a long time, and this person is Hou Yimin, the designer of the fourth edition of the RMB pattern who was entrusted with the important task at that time.
At that time, Hou Yimin was in a state of anxiety, and after taking over this important task, he pondered how to design the pattern printed on the renminbi.
After all, these patterns are to be seen by people all over the country with the circulation of the renminbi, and if the patterns are not perfect enough to reflect the beautiful image of the country, they will be ashamed to hand over the heavy responsibility to their own country.
In order to better get design inspiration, Hou Yimin decided to come to the beautiful scenery of Guizhou to take a break and see if he could find design ideas in the beautiful scenery of Guizhou.
This trip has a great effect on Hou Yimin, looking at the beautiful feng shui culture in Guizhou, and seeing the unique clothing and temperament of the ethnic minorities who come and go.
Hou Yimin decided to print the faces of ethnic minorities on the one-yuan banknote, which can not only show the cultural style of the ethnic minorities, but also make the pattern on the banknote more distinctive.
After making this decision, Hou Yimin paid extra attention and looked around looking for beautiful girls, but although there are many ethnic minority beauties, there are very few that can make Hou Yimin make up his mind to print his image on the banknote.
Hou Yimin, who was helpless, could only squat in the market every day, and finally his hard work paid off, and Shi Niyin, who came to the market with his friends, appeared in front of him.
At the first glance of Shi Maoyin, Hou Yimin was sure that this girl was the girl he had been looking for, beautiful enough to appear on the RMB.
He couldn't help but walk behind Shi Niyin, called out to the girl, and made a request to draw a side face painting for him, which was also done so as not to say it rashly and deliberately frighten the girl.
Shi Maoyin looked at this strange man, although she felt a little strange, but she still readily agreed to Hou Yimin's request to draw a picture for her.
After finishing the painting, Shi Niyin said goodbye to Hou Yimin, at this time she had no idea what this portrait of the side face would be used for, nor what kind of impact it would have on herself.
Stumbled upon a banknote
On April 27, 1987, the fourth edition of the renminbi was officially issued, and when everyone saw the new issue of the renminbi, they would be attracted by the beautiful face of the ethnic minority girls above.
When this new version of the renminbi flowed into the village where Shi Niyin was located, the people around her were surprised to find that this girl who was printed on the renminbi seemed to be the Shi Niyin they were familiar with.
At this time, Shi Niyin has lived up to her youthful and beautiful appearance, she has already married a wife, and under the hardships of many years of hard life, the vicissitudes of time have worn out her beauty.
When the people around her came to her with banknotes, she realized that her side face was printed on the yuan, and at this time, she also remembered the scene of the painter painting a side face photo for her at the market many years ago.
The news that the person printed on the one-dollar banknote was like Shi Milk in the village, and soon even the surrounding people knew about it, and many people were very curious to come here, wanting to see this beautiful woman who was printed with paper money.
Shi Niyin looked at the people who were attracted by the banknotes to see her true face, and couldn't help but laugh at herself and said: "I'm no longer the little girl in the picture, and I don't do my job well anymore." ”
Despite such self-deprecation, Shi Niyin did not feel sorry for herself, but seized the opportunity to take advantage of those tourists who came to sell a wave of handicrafts woven by herself.
For Shi Maoyin, the side face was printed on the one-yuan banknote, which did not have much impact on her life, and what really made her feel that her life had changed was the fruit tree planting expert who came to our state thousands of miles away.
This official named Ling Yuping has a very professional study of fruit tree planting, and after a chance visit to the village, he found that the economic situation here is very backward.
Although the ecological conditions are very suitable for planting fruit trees, the villagers here do not know how to grow them, so they can only live in poverty on the treasure land.
In order to improve the economic situation here, he chose to lead his team to take root in the village, and began to use his knowledge to help the villagers here, hoping to lead them out of poverty and become rich.
One of the beneficiaries of this poverty alleviation campaign is Shi Maoyin, who lives in the village and learns various things with the villagers under the leadership of Professor Ling, using the village's terrain to breed yellow eels and loaches to improve their lives.
Professor Ling was also very surprised when he saw Shi Maoyin for the first time, and he didn't expect that he could witness the true face of the girl printed on the RMB.
Even though Shi Niyin at this time had lost her original beauty due to the hard work of life, Professor Ling was still moved by her spirit of being in a difficult situation but not giving up on herself at all.
After the team just settled in the village, Shi Niyin was also the first batch of people to come to receive education, under the leadership of the team, they improved their lives very well and learned a lot of useful knowledge.
Shi Niyin, who has been plagued by poverty since she was a child, finally embarked on the road of well-off with her own efforts with help, and such a story is far more worthy of being sung than her beautiful appearance.
After all, the beautiful appearance will disappear with time, but the shining spirit will remain forever, and now the fourth edition of the renminbi is no longer issued, but the people in the village will still give a thumbs up when they mention the stone milk introduction.
Now she is already the number one agricultural leader in the village, no matter who has problems in agriculture, she will come to Shi Niyin here to seek reasons and learn knowledge, and she will not hesitate to teach her.
Now she is no longer the little girl who can't help but laugh at herself, her face is always full of confident and happy smiles, and she is as bright as she was sixteen or seventeen.
This Dong girl had a dazzling beauty when she was young, and even after the passage of time, because of her self-confidence and self-improvement spirit, she produced inner beauty from the inside out, which was more dazzling than her beautiful appearance.
Although the one-dollar note is now rarely in circulation, the girl who once appeared on the banknote still makes a deep impression, not only because of her beautiful appearance, but also because of her shining inside.
