With the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination, the day of the college entrance examination arrived in the blink of an eye. On that day, Qin Yian stood at the school gate, looking at the details in the school, his heart filled with tears.
After the college entrance examination was resumed, the reform and opening up began. The country began to explore economic system reform and implemented the household contract responsibility system in rural areas. In terms of science and technology, it increased investment in science and technology to promote scientific and technological progress. In terms of culture, for the sake of cultural prosperity, the field of culture and art gradually recovered, and the creation of literature, film, music, etc. was active. In the field of diplomacy, it established diplomatic relations with more countries and expanded its international influence.
With the reform trend, people's minds have gradually opened up and their acceptance of new things has increased. Economic development has improved people's living standards.
In addition, we will strengthen the legal system and gradually improve it. We will attach importance to cultivating talents and reserve strength for national development. We will increase investment in infrastructure and improve transportation, energy and other conditions.
Simply put, people have changed in every aspect of their lives, from food, clothing, housing and transportation.
First of all, in terms of clothing, go from simple to complex.
Before the reform and opening up, people lived in poverty. Cloth coupons were used to buy cloth and sew their own clothes. Simply being warm was a blessing, let alone anything fancy. When people stood together, they looked uniformly blue-gray, like a dark blue ocean. But after the reform and opening up, the cloth coupons' purpose was over. People were exposed to clothing from all over the world, a variety of styles and colors. Clothing was no longer just a means of keeping warm or covering up; it became a way for people to express their style and charm. With the expansion of clothing options and the change in people's clothing concepts, clothes gradually came to have an unparalleled impact on personal image, and people's aesthetic awareness and clothing quality improved significantly.
Secondly, in terms of diet, there has been a major change from eating enough to eating well.
No one will forget the days of hunger before reform and opening up, especially during the years of famine, when people had almost no food. Some even resorted to eating Guanyin soil, bloating and starving to death. However, after reform and opening up, people's food and clothing problems were basically solved. Later, people gradually ate better, began to pay attention to nutritional balance, emphasized diet, and advocated for green food. The function of food was no longer limited to providing energy and ensuring food and clothing. More importantly, food gradually became a symbol of a person's taste, a culture, a feature of a place, and even a symbol.
Furthermore, the accommodation is no longer so crowded and is becoming more and more spacious.
Before the reform and opening up era, families often squeezed three or four generations into a small house, creating significant inconvenience for both work and daily life. The air and light inside these small houses were poor, and the living conditions were unacceptable to us today. However, after the reform and opening up era, cities and towns developed rapidly, and high-rise buildings sprang up like mushrooms after a rain, interspersed with the peaks of the mountains. This has greatly expanded people's living space and significantly improved their living conditions. Housing has now become a family necessity and a key indicator of people's well-being.
In terms of travel, it used to be that the transportation was slow, the letters had to be sent from far away, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime. Now it has become that the transportation is fast, WeChat is close, and it is difficult to love one person with all your heart.
In the 1960s and 1970s, people needed to rely on animal power to travel, and only the military or the wealthy could afford luxuries like cars. But today, cars are commonplace, allowing people to travel quickly, safely, and comfortably.
Finally, in terms of usage, it has gradually become advanced from being backward.
When watching movies set before the reform and opening up era, you'd always see the four major gadgets: sewing machines, bicycles, watches, and radios. Today, however, these four major gadgets have almost disappeared, replaced by high-tech products like color TVs, refrigerators, and washing machines. It's these high-tech gadgets that have dramatically changed people's lifestyles.
In addition to these changes, the system has also changed. For example, the country encourages overseas Chinese to return to China to develop the economy.
At the same time, two people far away from home had been following the developments in China since 1967. Those two people were none other than the brothers An Xiangwen and An Xiangwu.
When An Xiangwen and An Xiangwu learned that the college entrance examination had been resumed, tears streamed down their cheeks. They wanted to go home so much and missed their family members so much.
But they can't go back yet because the situation is still a little turbulent and they need to wait a little longer.
But how could they concentrate on their work after having something to look forward to? Now all the brothers could think about was going home, going home, going home.
An Xiangwen and An Xiangwu finally waited for this day. Since they learned that the country strongly encouraged Chinese to return to China, An Xiangwen and An Xiangwu wanted to go home immediately.
But because the company's affairs were numerous and could not be handled hastily, I had to wait until they were all dealt with before I could go home. And so, I waited for another six months.
