My sister was born in the 1980s. In high school, she spent 100 yuan to buy a walkman. I still remember it was blue. Put the tape in its "belly" and press the button on it, and there will be sound, mainly used to learn English, which was still very strange at that time.
Walkman became popular on campus when I was in junior high school. However, few students with good grades have walkmen. On the contrary, many students with walkman have poor grades. They put the walkman in their pockets and plugged in headphones to listen to songs. They feel cool about themselves. Sometimes I listen to it in class. In order not to be found by the teacher, I put the earphone cord through my sleeve, put my elbow on the table, and held my ear in my hand. This is a good disguise.
I remember when I was in junior high school, my English teacher often took a radio, put a tape on it and listened to the English in the class book. In the Chinese class of Grade One, the teacher also showed Zhang Mingmin's My China Heart and Tu Honggang's Farewell My Concubine, which made people excited.
When I was in high school, I rented a house outside, and there was a worn-out radio in the room, which still worked. So I spent a few dollars to buy a tape from the shop outside, which contained more than a dozen songs. I still remember two songs that were particularly impressive. One is "Invisible Scenery" by Vae, and the other is "Meeting you is my fate". When I am bored on weekends, I play tapes and listen to songs.
I also like listening to the radio and falling asleep with the sound. The channel I liked listening to at that time was FM90.8, a traffic broadcast. There is a program called "Free Talk" in the evening (it seems to be this). Lying in bed, I fell asleep in the humorous program of the anchor every night, and then the program was cancelled.
In the past, the main function of the walkman was to listen to songs and learn. Later, with the popularity of smart phones, the status of walkman was replaced. I don't think I've seen these things since 00, but for many post-80 s and post-90 s, the disappearance of the walkman took away the infinite feelings for those lush years.
When I was a child, I had a radio at home. It was fashionable to play a tape to listen to songs. Tapes and walkman have left us with fond memories and memories of youth, which can never be erased.
