Recall the function and significance of bitter rice

More than 20 years ago, I would see someone mention bitter rice. After entering 2 1 century, it is almost gone.

Born in the mid-1980s, my understanding of recalling bitterness and thinking sweetness is limited to the literal meaning, and I don't know what it means. I looked up the encyclopedia and found that remembering the bitter and sweet is really like its name, educating people to remember the bitter and sweet.

Generally speaking, the time to have a hard meal is once a month or half a month in individual units during the Spring Festival, May 4th Youth Day, Children's Day, National Day or busy farming. Some schools and units do it themselves, and some collectively go to the countryside to let farmers do it.

What food can achieve the effect of remembering bitter and thinking sweet? Nature is coarse grains, the rougher the better. Some are corn flour, dried sweet potatoes and corn flour, some are mixed with bran and corn flour, some are rice bran and bean curd residue cooked with rotten vegetable leaves, taro flowers, pumpkin flowers, radish sprouts or wild vegetables, some are mixed with bran and Chinese cabbage with some salt, and some are mixed with leaves, roots and broken rice husks. Recall that bitter rice is not delicious.

Children's Literature published an interesting story about suffering from hardship. The hero is a junior high school boy who doesn't like to hear his parents' memories. Once, his parents' old classmates came home for dinner. An uncle lamented that there was no lobster twenty years ago, which opened the topic of recalling bitter rice. The little boy impatiently wanted to go back to his room, and his father's memories aroused his curiosity.

His father said that he was a tramp when he was young. At that time, he walked around by train, and the water on the train was supplied free of charge. When he came back from the bathroom, he found that everyone around him had eaten a box lunch, thinking that the meal was free, so he took a box and ate it. A fat man's eyes are strange in front of him. After my father finished eating, I realized that it was the fat man who ordered the box lunch for himself. His father took out a crumpled dime, and the fat man smiled.

The little boy responded to the story by covering his ears and shouting, Stop it! How embarrassing! Run back to the room.

He was too excited and rude, which made his parents very unhappy. The guests also criticized him for not being sensible. Mom and dad want their children to know the meaning of remembering suffering, so they specially cook a meal to remember suffering.

The little boy saw the black chaff on the table, jiaozi. No matter what his parents say, he just won't eat. He also confidently retorted that it was wrong for parents to try their best to make their children suffer.

After arguing with his parents, the little boy called his grandfather, a former cadre, and told him what had happened. Ask him what is the purpose of working hard for the country all his life?

Grandpa said with a smile that they have worked hard for the country for a better life for the next generation. It is normal that every generation has different thoughts and personalities. There is no need to insist on consistency. Remember that bitter rice is just a form. It doesn't matter if you don't eat

My opinion is the same as that of the little boy's grandfather. Memories of painful experiences need not be formal, but should play a role. People of different times have different ideas and should respect others with a peaceful mind.

Let's talk about the significance of remembering the past. The purpose is to cherish the beautiful life now, which has played a role in preparing for danger in times of peace, and don't be too immersed in memories of bitter thoughts. It is more important to grasp the present and develop the future.
