Times change, the sea changes, the past of a post-80s generation is clouded

As a proper post-80s who grew up in the countryside, I have a beautiful heart and is overflowing with happiness! In my mind, the so-called "beautiful" refers to everything that is "true", "good", and "beautiful" that makes you like it. It is both "good" because of "beauty" and "beautiful" because of "good". "Happiness" is a beautiful feeling caused by love and possession. Happiness exists because of love and explodes because of possession.

"Happiness" is the result of struggle. The pursuit of a better life is an eternal theme and an eternal tense. Today's children may not be able to understand my growing environment and experience as a post-80s generation. Who can understand the bitterness and tears of the past?

The light of happiness illuminates the night. When I was a child, I was afraid of the dark. The dark space always gave people the imagination of infinite fear. Because it is opaque, it is dark, and because of darkness, there is endless fear; fear that there are vicious monsters or evil villains lurking in the darkness; fear of unknown objects and unknown sounds in the dark; fear of the many uncertainties in the darkness. But it happened that a child like me who was afraid of the dark was born in the era of kerosene lamps.

Speaking of kerosene lamps, many modern people don’t know them, and those who know candles rarely know kerosene lamps! A kerosene lamp is a faintly bright lamp filled with kerosene in a glass bottle, twisted with a cotton wick and lit with a match. In my memory, only wealthy people would use candles instead of kerosene lamps, because candles are much brighter than kerosene lamps, but they are used up quickly. Therefore, from an economic perspective, every family will use kerosene lamps, and of course they will also use them at home more or less. Keep a few candles handy for emergencies. When I was a child, the nights were dark. I couldn’t bear to see or imagine the darkness. I was afraid that I wouldn’t get up to pee at night, and I would hold it in until dawn. Now I live in the bright lights of the city, and I don’t draw the curtains at home. My 1.5 vision is more than enough to see the baby without turning on the lights. Even if I go back to my hometown once in a while, there are dim street lights reflecting the night sky. I have no chance to experience the darkness of "I can't see my fingers", but there is a full sense of security everywhere!

The road to happiness is smooth. To get rich, build roads first. When I was in high school, I was in the county town, 50 miles away from home. At that time, most roads were dirt or sandy roads. In order to save 3 to 5 yuan in tolls, I rode a bicycle home. I rode on the road by myself, watching helplessly while holding the bicycle. The hands on the handlebars were tanned layer by layer; in order to shorten the time to go home, I rode fast, but accidentally fell down on the downhill sandy road. I fell up and then fell down, walking along the sand. The road slipped far away, and the palms of both hands were bloody and bloody. They scabbed immediately when the spring breeze blew, and the wounds were still stained with sand. Nowadays, with the development of the economy and the progress of society, there are asphalt roads or cement roads everywhere. Cement roads and asphalt roads connected to every village have become commonplace. Sand roads have become a rarity in the new era and will never be seen again. Time for slipping on the sandy dirt road.

Happy travel. Driving or taking a vehicle is as comfortable as a horse galloping on the grassland. Who would have imagined that when I was a child, the only means of transportation when I went to my grandma’s house was a bicycle, which means I was born in the bicycle era. Every time I go back to my grandma's house, my father drives me, and my butt hurts when I sit on the back seat of the bicycle. When I was a little older, I was riding a heavy bicycle while braking on a steep downhill slope. I was very tired and frightened because the bicycle was going so fast that I couldn't control it. Naturally, I was scared and even more frightened. I pedaled hard on the brakes to slow down, feeling tired and scared. Nowadays, you can't find any bicycles or transmissions with foot brakes. Even if they do, they are real "foot brakes" that use your feet to rub the ground! Nowadays, village-to-village buses and city buses and subways can be seen everywhere, making travel especially accessible and smooth. Nowadays, when I travel by myself and drive a car, I no longer have to worry about being exposed to wind, sun, rain, or slipping.

Happy information age. The rapid explosive information truly makes it possible to know the world's affairs without leaving home. Compared to the years when I was in college, I took the only bus to the city from home in the morning, and then took the bus to the train station to buy a ticket to Jinan. When I went there, I found that I could only take the evening train to Beijing. .

This was also my first time to go out so far, and I felt very uncomfortable. I cried at the train station from morning until I got on the train in the evening. I remember that my father left me in the care of a mother and son and then went home. I also cried all the way on the train. That aunt comforted me all the way. At that time, almost everyone did not have mobile phones, and the Internet was not widely available. Almost everything was done with black eyes and one step at a time. When I was in school in Jinan, my parents installed a landline phone at home to facilitate contact. I used a phone card to call them at school. Later I bought a mobile phone, and it became more and more convenient to use the mobile phone to make direct calls to contact my parents. Later, parents also had mobile phones, and then the Internet became popular, and they all communicated through video. In this information age, the Internet is almost omnipotent. The rapid explosion of information makes us omniscient and omnipotent. We will no longer wait for a day at the train station or arrive in the middle of the night. destination.

This is a beautiful era. It is so beautiful that some people are carrying forward with heavy burdens, while others are living in peace and quiet; it is so beautiful that the country is prosperous and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment; it is so beautiful that we are able to overcome the difficulties and the whole people fight against the epidemic.

This is a happy era, happy enough to have people guarding and caring for the lights in thousands of homes; happy enough to live in exquisite cities and beautiful countryside; happy enough to be born in an era that benefits the country and the people; happy enough to be born in a vast ocean. A wonderful era with great powers as strong backing!

Tribute to our wonderful life! A tribute to our wonderful times! Tribute to our wonderful country!
