There is Wenzhou in the north and Wuchuan in the south. What kind of place is Wuchuan?
Wuchuan is a county-level city in Guangdong Province and is managed by Zhanjiang City.
"There is Wenzhou in the north and Wuchuan in the south" is a saying in the late 1970s and early 1980s. At that time, a trend was formed in Wuchuan, that is, everyone strives to be first, and everyone competes. The mentality of being a boss, which goes hand in hand with individual, private, joint venture, joint-stock cooperation and other business forms, is known as the "four-wheel drive". This was later called the Wuchuan model, and was also known as the Wenzhou model.
When talking about Wuchuan, we have to mention Zhanjiang. Before the rise of the Pearl River Delta, Zhanjiang was once the second largest city in Guangdong Province. It was also one of the first 14 coastal open cities in the country in 1984. It was praised by the chief designer as "Qingdao in the north and Zhanjiang in the south", which shows that Zhanjiang area was very popular at that time.
In 2017, Wuchuan City achieved a GDP of 26.8 billion yuan. Its economic development is no longer dazzling among many county-level cities. However, Wuchuan has still won many honors for its characteristics. It is the hometown of Chinese architecture and the Chinese architectural decoration. The hometown of Wuchuan, the hometown of Chinese folk culture and art, the hometown of Chinese mooncakes, the hometown of Chinese down feathers, the hometown of Chinese plastic shoes, etc. are milestones in the development of Wuchuan.
As a seaside city, Wuchuan City’s seaside tourism resources are very distinctive. Traditional scenic spots include Jizhao Bay and Wuyang Golden Coast.
As a Zhanjiang native, let me answer this question. There is Wenzhou in the north and Wuchuan in the south. This was a popular saying in Guangdong in the 1980s. In the early days of reform and opening up, Wenzhou people, known as Oriental Jews, traveled everywhere and became rich. At that time, you could see many luxury cars and mansions everywhere in Wenzhou, which was the envy of people all over the country.
What are the similarities between Wuchuan people and Wenzhou people? In the 1980s and 1990s, they dared to venture out and make a fortune in other places. They performed outstandingly in construction, real estate, waste recycling, and slipper manufacturing and export, making Wuchuan the "Hometown of the Rich" in southern China.
Wuchuan is a magical existence in the eyes of us Zhanjiang people. We are both under the jurisdiction of Zhanjiang. Why can Wuchuan produce so many rich people? In recent years, wealthy rural sages have returned to their hometowns to support their families, donated funds to build new rural areas, and even built villas for villagers. This is really enviable.
Wuchuan is currently a county-level city in Zhanjiang, bordering Huazhou and Maonan District of Maoming, and to the southwest is Potou District. Potou District was also part of Wuchuan County. Wuchuan does not belong to Leizhou culture. It has long belonged to Gaozhou Prefecture and is closer to Huazhou Maoming. Compared with other counties and cities in Zhanjiang, Wuchuan and Potou have a more unique style in terms of language, customs and concepts, are more open-minded, dare to venture and fight hard, and have created a world.
Why does Wuchuan Rich have such a unique character that stands out compared to the people around him? There are different opinions so far. Some people say it’s because Wuchuan is located at the mouth of Sanjiang and has good Feng Shui. But I think it is mainly due to the following three reasons: First, there are many people in Wuchuan but little land, and the average cultivated land is limited, which forces the people of Wuchuan to go out and make a living. Second, Wuchuan and his group of tycoons happened to catch up with the development of the Pearl River Delta and the tide of the real estate economy. Third, Wuchuan people are naturally more realistic in character. They attach great importance to interests. In order to survive, they can endure hardships and are willing to do any dirty work. This is my personal opinion, and everyone is welcome to discuss and add to it.
The overall economic development of Wuchuan is not enough, but the individual economy is still possible, especially in the construction industry. Wuchuan people can be found all over the country, because many people in different industries do not understand why it is possible. Understand, Wuchuan is actually the place with the most wealth. Only people at a certain level know it. In fact, many landmarks across the country were built by Wuchuan people. Guangzhou Xiaomanyao, Shenzhen Kingkey, Beijing Bird's Nest, and many real estate projects in Shenzhen were built by Wuchuan people. There is no doubt about this. Wuchuan is only a county-level city with a population of 1.2 million, and its economic aggregate cannot be compared with Wenzhou. In the 1990s, there was a saying: Wuchuan is in the south and Wenzhou is in the north. It is said that people in both places have advanced consciousness, are active in certain fields, and have similarities. It is not about comparing the economic development of the two places or the wealth of businessmen, so there are reasons why some people misinterpret it. Wuchuan has a large gap between rich and poor, and the proportion of rich people is indeed higher. However, the rich return less to the local area, the fiscal revenue is poor, the hardware construction is insufficient, and there are many poor people. The overall situation is weak.
Zhanjiang and Wenzhou are not on the same level, not to mention that Wuchuan’s economy is still at the bottom in Zhanjiang
I am from Wuchuantangzhu, I really don’t know what you think, you dare to compare Wuchuan and Wenzhou is on the same level, and they are not afraid of being laughed at. Wuchuan has money in other places except for a few contractors and scrap collectors. You know how bad the local economy is in Wuchuan, so don’t brag about it.
The richest people in Wuchuan City
I am a native of Wuyang Town, Wuchuan. The people of Wuchuan are hard-working, hard-working, hard-working and extremely smart. Specifically, the fiscal revenue of the Wuchuan government is indeed limited. GDP is pitifully low. People who don't know Wuchuan always feel that Wuchuan is a very poor place when they see its financial income. But Wu Chuan is indeed very wealthy personally. Due to objective reasons, many people in Wuchuan have developed outside. Therefore, Wu Chuan is rich among the people. For example, Shenzhen Kingkey 100 is the masterpiece of Wuchuan people!
As a Wenzhou native, I have never heard of Wuchuan. It must have been sealed by the Wuchuan people themselves. Haha
Sorry, Wenzhou people have never heard of this sentence.
I am very familiar with both places... Wenzhou people are the best
