My grandfather’s childhood left me feeling “bitter!” Grandpa told me that when he was a child, his family was very poor and never had enough to eat, let alone go to school. It wasn't until he was 12 years old that my grandfather went to elementary school. Every time when school is over, my grandpa is always so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back, and he is dizzy. He often has to walk for a while and rest for a while before he can get home...

As grandpa described it, a person appeared in front of me. In front of the low bungalow built with adobe, there was a little boy with a few patches on his clothes, sitting on a stone, using his legs as a table, holding a short pencil tip and writing homework. Grandpa told me that the hut back then was dark and simple, without even a candle. Only with the wisps of sunlight coming in could I barely see clearly. There is nothing on the four walls of the house except a few portraits of great men. Every day before dawn, he heard the crowing of the rooster in the yard, which was the alarm clock for him to get up in the morning. After getting up, he could not find anything to fill his stomach. It’s a few dried potatoes, it’s a fine meal!

Dad’s childhood was much happier than grandpa’s. My father told me that when he was a child, he flew kites in the spring, swam in the river in the summer, pushed hoops in the fall, and skied in the winter... At this point, I asked in surprise: "Skiing was popular at that time?" Dad said: "Like What you are playing is different now. We sit on small benches and let our friends pull on ropes to slide!"

Dad was born in the 1970s, and his living standard has improved compared to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. A big improvement. My father’s family of four lived in a 14-square-meter house. They ate vegetables grown by grandma herself and wore homespun shirts. If they were torn, they would be mended and put on again. If dad can't wear it, he has to leave it to his uncle. At that time, there were very few cars, public transportation was underdeveloped, and transportation was very simple. Only people with better conditions had bicycles, and they usually walked when going out. My father would carry my grandma’s homemade cloth schoolbag and walk more than ten miles to school every day. What’s even more surprising to me is that I even bring my own stools to sit on in class. Think about how troublesome it is! At that time, although material life was not rich, everyone was relatively satisfied because their lives were stable and they could barely fill their stomachs. Therefore, the taste of my father’s childhood life can be described in one word: “bland!”

Finally, let’s talk about my childhood. In comparison, my childhood life was like falling into a honeypot, with everything to eat and play. I live in a spacious and bright new house with my own little world. The new toys are dazzling. Bookcases, study desks, supporting children’s furniture, and household electrical equipment are all available. Every day, I can keep up to date with exciting news from around the world through TV and the Internet, and learn a lot of knowledge. Whatever I want to eat, my family can pretty much satisfy me. Every season, my parents buy me new clothes. In order to enrich my life, my parents not only bought me a lot of extracurricular books, but also often took me out for outings... So, my childhood can be summed up in one word: "Sweet!"

By comparing my childhood with my grandparents and carefully appreciating the bitterness, lightness and sweetness of the childhood life of three generations, I deeply felt how fast the motherland has developed in the 60 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially the 30 years of reform and opening up. Amazing! Especially our generation, how happy we are to live in today's prosperous and powerful China and enjoy the fruits of reform and opening up! We should cherish our time, study diligently, and arm ourselves with more knowledge and skills. I believe that because of our efforts, we will be able to create a better and happier future.
