On July 16th, Gan Guoyang and the national team returned to the capital by plane.
Compared to the 1980s, the capital in 1992 had already undergone significant changes in its urban landscape.
With the country's overall opening-up and the development of a market economy, more and more new things appeared in the daily lives of the people.
On April 23rd that year, Beijing's first McDonald's opened on Wangfujing Street, featuring over 700 seats and 29 cash registers. It attracted over 40,000 customers on its opening day, making it the largest McDonald's restaurant in Asia.
At that time, the Chinese public didn't understand that McDonald's in America was just fast food, equivalent to China's boxed meals.
Americans operated fast food with big capital, and foreign fast food quickly became a novelty in the lives of urban Chinese residents, and eating at McDonald's became a trendy thing to do.
