Do you know what was the first short message in human history?

It is said that the invention of SMS has always been regarded as Finland: this country with "social phobia", people don't like talking on the phone, so they invented SMS on a whim. In the actual record, the first real SMS was typed and sent by a Nokia intern at 1993, and the content was "Merry Christmas".

In the following decades, the widespread popularity of mobile phones made SMS one of the most commonly used communication methods. On Zhiming and Chunjiao, Zhang Zhiming's heart and love turned into radio waves, and the sound of "di" jumped on Chunjiao's mobile phone screen; In The Perfect Stranger, because of the impromptu game at dinner, SMS has become a weapon to destroy the trust of friends and lovers.

In those years, we used short messages to express our feelings, greet and record our lives. You must remember this picture, the memory of the mobile phone is often insufficient, and there are always some people who can't bear to press delete.

Now that you are using a smart phone, you have no such troubles. Instead, your precious memories will no longer be stored in the SMS box. You look at countless commercial advertisements, express messages, warm tips, and even don't bother to delete them with one click. But occasionally there may be a text message to remind you to go back to the past. Guess it may be that an old friend sent a greeting that he hadn't seen for years.

We want to pick up the fragments of those memories, so we launched a collection of short messages that you can't bear to delete in your mobile phone. Within 24 hours, we received more than 300 replies. Many readers found their old Nokia, Sony and HTC phones and took photos of those small screens for us. To our surprise, more readers saved pictures and sent them to us in the form of screen shots. We were surprised to find that the original text message did not completely lose its mission.

We chose some sweet, disappointed, moving or sad messages. Their carriers are different and the picture quality is "uneven". They are not so beautiful, but they are particularly moving. We would like to invite you to join us and go back to the days when there were no expression packs, no circle of friends, and only words were used to convey feelings.

Xiao prayer

As long as you remember love, the world is not so bad.

"More than a third of the responses we received were about love. These memories have been dusty for a long time, but they are properly kept. Some readers who have left these messages have married and had children with the people in the messages, while others think of their former lovers, but they are afraid to talk if they want to contact. What's more lovely is that some people copy the short messages with their boyfriends one by one in a notebook because of lack of memory.

There is a saying in the song "Promise": Love is a long-term commitment, and a dull story will be told for a lifetime. You and I are just an episode in the eyes of time. These words telling love stories are proof that people in the world love and are loved. "

@ jingjing jingjing sent it to me.

@ 丫丫丫丫丫丫丫丫丫丫 is the first 520 years that Xiaobai spent together. He took the time to send me a message 520 13 14, which was about to fall asleep in class. This mobile phone belongs to Nokia. At that time, I couldn't type Chinese because of the built-in English version. Since he knew me and added my mobile phone number to later WeChat, he chatted with me in English or Pinyin every day. It seems that it was sweeter for us to communicate in English at that time. Ha ha. Now he is still around, and his sixth anniversary will be seven days later.

@ Li is the last time in my heart before breaking up, but he will still feel sorry for my red eyes, and his heart will be empty because of my departure. We've been together for so long, but we still haven't persisted. Now he doesn't need me. I will regret why I moved so stubbornly at that time. If I stay, our ending will be different. If I stay, will we all be in Chengdu? If I stay, we can communicate well. He is my first love, and I still want to contact him now, but I am afraid to disturb him.

Shuixizi's ex-boyfriend (also a representative of math class) sent me an answer to a math problem. Now it is a ... silent WeChat friend relationship.

@ Melissa Zhou This short message happened to be when I was studying abroad. At that time, a classmate in a group sent me a short message saying that it was discussed after class. He and I are friends from classmates, to work partners, to lovers, to lovers of life. If life is just the first time, anything is possible before the story begins.

Zhu Sixi was my high school classmate, and the result was that I didn't marry him. This ignorance has become the purest memory in my life and the best proof that I am loved in this world.
