From black and white TV to smart phone
When I was a child, Shengze's electric theater (then called Grand Theatre) was first-class in Jiangnan town at that time because of its large scale and great momentum in my vague memory. In that era when entertainment was scarce, movies were really rare. It is a great entertainment to watch movies with my father occasionally.
In the early 1980s, before the popularity of television, ordinary families rarely owned televisions, so we had to have a good dinner early and go to nearby schools and factories to seize the position. Sometimes we are late and have to squeeze into the last few rows. Although I can't hear the sound clearly, I still enjoy it with relish.
After a few years, family conditions improved and finally got the first TV set. Although it is just a very ordinary 14 inch black-and-white TV, it has already made us feel excited. Every day, the whole family always watches TV programs happily. That TV set has been reluctant to change for more than ten years. 1998 We changed a 29-inch Philips color TV at home, and now a 60-inch LCD TV has moved into our ordinary people's homes, which makes us feel like we have stepped into high definition *.
We still miss the 14 inch black and white TV set that has been with us for many years. It was brought from Shanghai by aunt Shanghai who worked hard. It is like a history book, which records the changes of the times and engraves the imprint of the times. When I think of it, it reminds me of my youth, and I am full of emotions. Nowadays, whenever I sit in the bright living room and watch TV, I think of the changes in the past 40 years and their yesterday, today and tomorrow. This is the witness of history and the epitome of the times.
With the advent of the information age, television has long lost its beauty. Now relatives, friends and classmates have set up WeChat groups, joking in the virtual space, talking about past lives and speaking freely. Everyone is laughing and talking about life. Facts have proved that although we are nearly sixty years old, we still keep pace with the times, keep up with the times and enjoy the happiness of life.
Three-level leap of "worrying, having and being excellent"
How many years, how many people have worked hard for the dream of "living", from the initial welfare housing, housing reform housing, to commercial housing and property housing under the conditions of market economy, people have made unremitting efforts to improve their living conditions. The change of living environment has continuously improved people's quality of life.
Over the past 40 years, my own housing has completed a three-level leap of "worrying, having and being excellent". It is precisely because of this replacement experience that my lifelong dream of living has become a reality.
In the early 1970s, six parents, brothers and sisters were crowded into a rented room with an area of only over 20 square meters. A family of six has only half a bedroom, so there are many inconveniences in daily life. The child is growing up, but it is really helpless. Father found someone to buy wood, built a small attic in the middle of the house, and barely lived a "worrying" life.
This kind of life lasted for more than ten years until 1987. 28 years old, always worried about his wedding room. At that time, it was not easy to wait for a room. To get married for a house, the threshold of the factory housing management department was almost broken. Fortunately, I was soon assigned to a wedding room with a kitchen and bathroom in one room and one living room according to my seniority. Although it is only over 40 square meters, it has finally solved the major events in life. 1993, according to the housing reform policy, I spent another 20,000 yuan to buy this house before I got my first real house and became the property owner, which was another leap in my life.
After many years, the house that has lived for more than ten years has become an old house, and my daughter has gradually grown up. Finally, I took out all my savings and pieced together a new house with three bedrooms, two halls and two bathrooms, which increased the living area and improved the living environment. It can be said that it is the enjoyment of my old age.
The road to happiness is a struggle. In the 40 years of reform and opening up, I have witnessed the great changes in the pace of the times and economic development. I am proud of my motherland.

40th anniversary of reform and opening up in my eyes.
Reform and opening-up is a policy of internal reform and opening-up implemented by China at the plenary session of 1978+02 in June. China's domestic reform began in the countryside. On June 1978 1 1, Xiaogang village, Fengyang county, Anhui province implemented the household contract responsibility system of "dividing fields into households and assuming sole responsibility for profits and losses", which opened the curtain of domestic reform in China, a major reform of state-owned enterprises-independent management rights and independent regulation of the market.
Reform and opening up began in Xiaogang Village, Fengyang County, Anhui Province. If reform and opening up is the fire that started a prairie fire, then Anhui has been the source of a single spark from the beginning, so the reform and opening up in Anhui Province is one of the most remarkable cases. As a post-90s generation, when I was born, the reform and opening up was in full swing. Let me look at the reform and opening up in the eyes of our generation.
When it comes to reform and opening up, the most obvious impact on us is the impact on our lives. Now when it comes to "three major events", many students may not know what they are talking about, but in the period when our country has not carried out reform and opening up, "three major events" are indispensable or especially precious gifts for our grandparents. I remember that my grandmother told me three important things about them at that time, in fact.
This is a symbol of marriage between the two parties. In 1950s and 1960s, China was in a state of great waste, and the three major items were "watches, bicycles and radios". It must have never occurred to us that the keepsakes of marriage are just simple and cheap small industrial products. However, in the era before the reform and opening up, it seemed that these items were very expensive and extravagant. Even then, not all families could afford it easily.
In my opinion, the time dimension spans to the 1980s, when reform and opening-up were in full swing. The so-called "three big things" have also undergone qualitative changes with the reform and opening up, becoming the necessary "refrigerator, color TV and washing machine" for our parents to get married. Parents in this era have broadened their horizons much more than their peers in the past. At that time, in some central cities such as Anhui, a large number of aspiring young people went south to find opportunities that suited them. Reform and opening-up not only affected our parents in life, but also in culture. That generation was keen on watching movies, which was a fashion at that time. They were keen on disco, which was a trend for them. At that time, many famous domestic directors and actors became famous, such as Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Lou Ye, Xiaogang Feng and Ge You. With the rapid development of economy, cultural innovation has never stopped.
Look back at modern America. Nowadays, the three major fashion items of that year have long since ceased to exist, and have been replaced by modern consumption values. Now, those three things in the early years have almost become standard items at home. At the same time, because of the power of reform and opening up, the three original "foreign cars and foreign watches" have become cheap and reliable domestic products around us! To borrow a passage from a famous artist's speech at new york University, "The new generation is the most important group of people in the world, because our opportunities are right and our country is becoming more and more important internationally. One day, China will become an influential country in the world, which depends on the efforts of our generation. The creativity of the younger generation will be a great asset for China in the coming decades. Doing something for China is doing something for the whole world. "

It is our nature to dream. From ancient times to modern times, from the steam engine era to the electrification era, and then to the information age, the development of human society is also a process of pursuing dreams.
Today, 40 years ago, for everyone in China, electric lights, telephones, upstairs and downstairs are the pursuit of dreams. Nowadays, big color TV, big refrigerator and big house are no longer mysterious topics. Computers, cars and villas will be owned by more and more individuals, and the living standard is improving every year. Nowadays, the development process of household appliances from scratch, from shortage to popularization has witnessed the rapid development of economy and society and the earth-shaking changes in people's lives, reflecting the historical process of the magnificent practice of reform and opening up from one side.
I remember a saying: I think about it day and night, and I dream at night. The so-called dream is the combination of expectation and reality. The era we live in belongs to an era when dreams come true. Maybe the expectations of five, ten, twenty, thirty or forty years ago will gradually come true without five, ten, twenty, thirty or forty years. We belong to a lucky generation, and our generation is the witness and beneficiary of the great historical achievements of the motherland, because we are fortunate to witness the pace of the times when the dual dreams of the motherland and individuals come true.
Our generation has experienced the process of the reform of the motherland, and they are all witnesses and beneficiaries of the reform and opening up of the motherland. It can be said that the feeling is the truest, the affection is the most sincere and the experience is the deepest. 1978, with the convening of the xx plenary session of the Party, China's economy began to transform from a planned economy to a market economy. In my mind, the brand of planned economy still exists. I was fortunate to see some products with strong characteristics of planned economy, such as food stamps, gasoline tickets, meat tickets, cloth tickets and match tickets. It was popular at that time, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy goods. However, ordinary people really have no money and no other income. But in parents' minds, they always look forward to the day when the market opens and purchases are no longer bound by bills.
In the middle and late 1980s, the shadow of planned economy has disappeared, the atmosphere of market economy has gradually prevailed, and the goods in shops have gradually enriched, but they still rely on "tickets" to shop, but at this time, "tickets" are no longer colorful food stamps and oil stamps, but real banknotes. But on the whole, it is still relatively backward. I remember at that time, if anyone had a TV, it was like playing every day. Sometimes dozens of people watch around a 14 inch black-and-white TV. The "Phoenix" brand bicycle was also a symbol of people showing off at that time.
I remember that my family lived in an adobe house at that time, and even the food and clothing at home could not be solved. A family of three squeezed into a 30 square meter bungalow. Except for a 19 inch TV, there is only a simple wooden sofa, two chairs, a writing desk and a stove for heating and cooking, and there is no other valuable furniture. With the passage of time, the problem of hidden houses is gradually exposed. When it rains, it's no good for a rotten house to float with pots and pans. Under the threat of "wind and rain", I dream that one day I can live in a unit building with bright big windows, spacious living room, bedroom and study. This life is enough!
Time is like water, time flies. In the middle and late 1980s, China has embarked on the fast track of economic development, and the motherland has undergone earth-shaking changes. Unconsciously, after 1978, our party held the xx plenary session with great historical significance, which opened a new historical period of reform and opening up. 1992, Comrade Deng Xiaoping made a speech on his southern tour, and the spring breeze of reform once again sounded the horn of the whole country; After 1997, Hong Kong has successfully returned to the prosperous China embraced by the motherland. After 1999, Macao returned to China and the great cause of the motherland's reunification took another gratifying step; 200 1 year later, China won the bid for the Olympic Games, and the motherland celebrated and encouraged the excitement; Experienced the excitement of the launch and successful return of Shenzhou 5, No.6, No.7, No.8, No.9 and No.10 manned spacecraft; After the successful launch of Chang 'e-1 and Chang 'e-2 lunar exploration satellites, the Shenzhou series spacecraft made major breakthroughs in launching, space extravehicular activities and space science experiments, especially the successful rendezvous and docking of Tiangong-1 target aircraft with Shenzhou-9 and Shenzhou-10 spacecraft, which marked the decisive and important progress in the second strategic goal of China's manned spaceflight project, and the successful development of the petascale supercomputer system "Tianhe-1". The manned submersible "Jilong" set a dive record of 7,062 meters, and the yield per mu of the 100-mu super hybrid rice experimental field exceeded 900 kilograms, marking the decisive and important progress in the second-step strategic goal of China's manned spaceflight project, marking the continuous enhancement of comprehensive national strength and marking the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is gradually becoming a reality; China's standard EMU "Fuxing" went offline; Prior to this, Shenzhou XI and Tiangong-2 were successfully launched; The domestic large aircraft C9 19 made its first flight; China's first X-ray astronomical satellite "Yan Hui" was successfully launched; "Mozi" quantum science experimental satellite has achieved quantum entanglement for thousands of kilometers for the first time in the world; "Great power? The supercomputer "Light of Taihu Lake" won the world supercomputer championship for the second time ... A series of scientific and technological innovation "blowouts" broke out, which witnessed the prosperity of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, the people of China are becoming rich, and the Chinese nation will surely become strong.
With the deepening of reform and opening up and economic development, we have gone from bungalow to high-rise unit building, from unproductive to productive; Diversification of catering, high-grade dress, household electrification and mechanization of going out have become daily rhythms. Ganzhou District, Zhangye City, where I live, has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The face of the urban area is changing with each passing day. New high-rise buildings are springing up, roads are wider, trees are more, and the city is beautiful. Especially on June 5438+February 3, 20081,the Binhe new area, one of Zhangye Heihe wetland protection projects, was announced to start, and the Heihe wetland protection project kicked off. In the past, the wasteland was full of pebbles, weeds, graves, potholes and ravines. Now the water waves are clear and beautiful, with clear water and blue sky and ravines. Now, when we enter the Binhe New District, 2,000 mu of lakes are rippling with blue waves, blue sky is reflected by the lake, clear water is all over the sky, mountains are long, and forest belts are distinct. We skillfully use the wind of Qilian Mountain and the rhyme of Heihe River to enter the city, adding a natural "humidifier" and "living oxygen bar" to the old city, blending with the style of the old city, and fully demonstrating the urban personality charm of combining historical and cultural cities with wetland ecological cities. Standing in the Binhu Square overlooking, the beautiful Binhe New District looks like a long scroll of scenery stretching on an axis, carved with beams and painted columns, antique; The promenade gyrates and the bridge flows; In just a few years, the changes in the face of Binhe New District are amazing, and my dream has finally come true. My working environment has changed in the past 40 years. I was selected from a township to a district government department, and my salary doubled from less than 100 yuan 40 years ago. More and more income, bought a set of more than 90 square meters of three rooms and two halls. This is exactly the kind of house with bright windows, spacious living room, comfortable bedroom and study that I dreamed of 40 years ago. At the same time, with the increase of income and the improvement of quality of life, great changes have taken place in home furnishings: color TV, refrigerator, computer, telephone, mobile phone, induction cooker and solar water heater are all available. Looking back on the past and recalling the present, I am filled with emotion. I think the change of my house from bungalow to building, from more than 30 square meters to more than 90 square meters is not a true portrayal of the earth-shaking changes in my hometown and motherland since the reform and opening up.
I am lucky, because I was born in this era of chasing dreams, and I can quickly turn my dreams into reality. At the same time, I was fortunate to witness the development of history. Everyone has dreams, but not all dreams can come true. But I am proud to be in this era. It was the development of the times that gave me the opportunity to realize my dream, and it was the dream that promoted the development of the times. Life is not terrible. The terrible thing is that I have no dreams. Now I still have a dream, that is, the "Income Multiplication Plan" will be gradually implemented, so that all China people can realize their "housing dream" and live in spacious and comfortable houses, and their lives will be better and truly realize the "Chinese dream".
40 years, the days when we live, the bomb command room, 40 years, the vicissitudes of China. In 20 18, we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up. Now the society is advocating harmony, harmony between urban and rural areas, harmony between people, harmony between man and nature and so on. Harmony highlights the development of society, harmoniously summarizes the development achievements of China in the past 40 years of reform and opening up, and shows the characteristics of the times, openness and enlightenment. Throughout the world and at home, great changes have taken place everywhere in the past 40 years of reform and opening up. Industry, agriculture, transportation, national defense, education, people's life, food, clothing, housing and transportation show fascinating charm everywhere. Under the correct leadership of the great Chinese production party, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation will surely be realized in the process of reform and opening up.
