In the vast world of automobiles, there are many popular slips, which are not only the password for communication between fans, but also the epitome of the changes of the times and the development of automobile culture. Today, let's walk into a story woven by classic cars, and explore the profound philosophy and changes of the times behind it.
The story begins: Memories of Lao Cai
On an old street called "Chehang Lane", the years are long, and every bluestone slab records the glory and vicissitudes of the past. Whenever the sun sets, under the old locust tree at the entrance of the alley, there is always a group of old people sitting around, they are either smoking dry tobacco, or shaking a fan, and a few familiar words pop out of their mouths from time to time: "Santana walks everywhere, Jetta cars are piled up, and Fukang cars are whizzing." These words, like messengers through time and space, bring people's thoughts back to the era when cars had just entered the homes of ordinary people.
The glorious era of Santana
"Santana walks everywhere", this sentence vividly depicts the grand situation of the Santana sedan produced by Shanghai Anting Volkswagen in the Chinese market in the eighties and nineties of the last century. As a representative of the "official car" and "luxury car" of that era, Santana not only witnessed the economic take-off in the early stage of reform and opening up, but also carried the yearning of countless people for a better life. According to statistics, from the successful assembly of the first Santana in 1983 to the end of the 90s, its cumulative sales exceeded one million, becoming a milestone in the history of China's automobile industry. Santana's success is not only a reflection of product quality, but also a model of Sino-German cooperation, technology introduction and local innovation.
The tenacity and popularity of Jetta
"Piles of Jetta cars" is a visual description of the popularity of FAW-Volkswagen Jetta models. Jetta, known as the "king of the road", has won the reputation of "the first brand of Chinese sedan cars" for its durable leather and convenient maintenance. In taxis, driving school buses, private cars and other fields, Jetta is everywhere, it is like an unknown partner, accompanying countless families to spend countless days and nights. According to statistics, the cumulative sales of Jetta models from the introduction of the Chinese market in 1991 to the end of production before the production of more than 4.5 million units, its position in the history of Chinese automobiles, no one can shake.
Beverly's agility and exploration
"Beverly Cars Whizzing and Flying" is a praise for the handling performance and driving pleasure of Peugeot-Peugeot's Fukang models. In that era when family cars were still luxury, Beverly became the first choice for young consumers who pursued individuality and freedom with its unique hatchback design, good handling and high cost performance. The popularity of Fukang has not only promoted the diversified development of China's automobile market, but also stimulated the exploration and pursuit of automobile culture among Chinese people. Although in the later market competition, Beverly gradually faded out of people's sight, the spirit of agility and exploration it left behind is still missed by many car fans.
The changing times behind the slip of the tongue
These slips of the tongue are not only a description of a specific model, but also a true portrayal of the social outlook and economic development of that era. From the glory of Santana, to the popularity of Jetta, to the exploration of Beverly, they have jointly painted a magnificent picture of China's automobile industry from scratch and from small to large. With the progress of the times, the car is no longer just a means of transportation, it has become a part of people's lifestyle, a carrier of scientific and technological progress and cultural exchanges, and a symbol of the country's comprehensive strength.
