Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
An item from April 18, 1986, in China Daily showed Beijing's first privately owned telephone switchboard in operation.
At that time, owning a telephone at home was a dream for many Chinese. They had to line up to make calls at public telephones.
