In 1971, the educated youth went to the countryside to join the queue, and they used the production break to perform programs for the members, and the countryside was full of vitality at that time, the people were enthusiastic, and the population was large.

Unlike now, young people flocked to the cities, leaving few in the countryside.

Looking back on this scene, the educated youth participated in the Bittersweet Memories Conference in the countryside, which made people sigh at the vast world and infinite possibilities of that era, and now it is rare for a village to gather so many young people.

This 1** is a record of the daily routine of the city's factory workers in 1973 - early morning running, a semi-military management style that was very common at the time.

*Filmed in the production workshop of Wuxi Huishan Clay Figurine, the workers are concentrating on creating exquisite clay figurine works. Although Tianjin's clay figurines are the most famous, in fact, Huishan clay figurines also have a long history of more than 400 years, and are known as one of the three major clay figurines in China together with Dawu clay figurines.

In the 1970s alley, two teenagers pose coolly, and the teenager on the right arms are folded, as if to show his confidence and personality. However, psychological research suggests that this pose may actually be a subconscious self-protection action on his part.

In 1973, a young mother brought her son to buy popsicles, and now there are too many types and flavors of ice cream to buy old popsicles and cream popsicles.

Although ice cream is more diverse now, the old popsicles and cream popsicles of that era are still nostalgic.

This photo was taken in 1973 and records the scene of a custodian. The conditions were very simple, with only a few rattan beds and the children being cared for by a few elderly people.

These children are the children of the employees of the unit, and they do not need to be taught, they just need someone to take care of their lives. Now, we call these people who take care of the lives of children life teachers.

In Zunhua, Hebei Province in 1973, three elderly rural people built a wall with stones during the winter slack season. Despite the pressures of life bending their backs, they still can't be idle.

In 1973, two hard-working rural women carried stones on their shoulders and leveled the barren land. They know that these seemingly ordinary stones can not only be used to fill the gaps in the land, but also play an important role in preventing soil erosion.

They have demonstrated the spirit of hard work and perseverance with practical actions, and have made great contributions to the protection of our land.

In 1979, a bicycle storage was guarded by an elderly man wearing a red armband. This is a unit parking lot and does not require any payment. However, if it is on a large rural market, it may be charged.

At the end of the 70s of the last century, four men left a precious group photo on the Great Wall. At that time, it was a popular fashion to wear a military cap in military uniforms, and it was believed that green military uniforms best reflected their individuality.

Some people with good conditions even have hats and shoes in green uniforms, while people with worse conditions will also try their best to find accessories for green military uniforms, such as hats or shoes, in short, to wear green military uniforms.

In 1979, it was a photo hotspot, where an elderly person sat on a small stool with a camera in hand to capture every precious moment, and there was an endless stream of people waiting in line to take pictures, and although the background was the same, everyone's expression and story were unique and the same were all the same.

In 1979, a caretaker at a farmer's market was watching the camera.

In Shanghai in the 70s, the children of the Hunan Electric Meter Field Family Home came together after school to play table tennis using simple conditions, but they had a lot of fun.

The little guy was patiently waiting for his parents to pick him up, his head was small but his brain was large, and the schoolbag he was carrying on his back looked extraordinarily heavy.

The walls of the countryside used to be filled with loud and noble slogans such as "Serve the People", but over time, these slogans were gradually replaced by folk beliefs and practical words, such as "ancestral secret recipes" and "special treatment for psoriasis".

While content has changed, people's quest for service and utility hasn't changed.
