Today, the generation born in the 70s of the last century has entered the middle age of life, and some have even become the elders of the family.
Society is developing at a high speed, science and technology are changing our lives, and the post-70s generation has witnessed the earth-shaking changes in China.
When it comes to the post-70s, today's children may find it difficult to imagine how this generation spent their childhood in the era when there were no mobile phones and the Internet.
However, the entertainment life of the post-70s generation is far beyond the current assumptions.
As a child, one of the boys' favorite games was playing with mud.
At that time, high-rise buildings were scarce, and most children lived in tiled and mud houses, and when they saw someone building a new house, the children would gather together excitedly and devote themselves to the carnival of mud play.
After the mud play, the children are covered in mud, and some even go home in dirty clothes, and they will inevitably face some education from adults.
Bathing in the river was also a common form of entertainment, and the water was clear and unpolluted, and the children washed their bodies and returned with a full load.
The "sandbag throwing" game, on the other hand, is made of discarded cloth and contains sand and stones, not to mention how enjoyable it is if you are hit when thrown out.
Jumping rubber bands is a favorite game of girls, between the two pulled up rubber bands, constantly jumping, seemingly simple but testing flexibility and skills.
Shuttlecock kicking, which is usually homemade and made from the tail hair of a large rooster, is a place where children gather to kick the shuttlecock and laugh endlessly.
Playing marbles is a popular activity for many boys, playing marbles and playing cards on the side of the road after school, these seemingly monotonous games are "men's paradise" for the post-70s.
Even now, when I recall the scene of playing marbles, I still have an endless aftertaste.
Swings still exist today, but in today's era of entertainment, swings are gradually declining in the hearts of children.
However, for the post-70s children, swings are their favorite, and when they swing, it seems that all fatigue has been dissipated.
Many modern children may find it difficult to understand how children born in the 70s can have so much time to enjoy a carefree childhood, and they don't have to Xi?
Modern children seem to have only one task, and that is to study hard and Xi get good grades to get into a good university.
However, the life of the post-70s generation is not only about games, they also have to help their families with household chores or take care of their younger siblings after completing their homework.
The post-70s generation of students had a more relaxed life than in modern times, with no cumbersome entrance exams, and they could successfully enter the school by mastering basic arithmetic and memorizing multiplication tables.
There is less Xi pressure, more time outside of class, children play together, and often forget to go home. At this time, if dinner has already been prepared at home, the children may inevitably come home with some advice.
Not many children born in the 70s go to college, and many drop out of school due to family conditions or their own reasons.
After leaving school, they can only engage in some manual labor, although it is hard, but they are simple-minded, dedicated to earning hard-earned money, and have a very happy life.
Despite the hard work, they are easily satisfied compared to the high-pressure life of modern people.
This is because life at that time was simple, there was little society, people's desires were low, but their sense of happiness was high, and it was easier to feel satisfied.
The slow pace of life, the simplicity of thought, the labor, the meal, and the exhaustion of falling asleep constitute a beautiful day for many ordinary people.
Unlike today's life that is under great pressure, the post-70s generation has passed in a hurry, but they have left deep happy memories.
Therefore, for contemporary people, it may be necessary to adjust the pace of life, slow down, get close to nature, and be the master of their own life.
