The online Q&A platform asked: In the countryside in the sixties and seventies, how did people live at night?
As oneBorn at 55 years old, he is a middle-aged man from a rural areaLet me answer that question!
In the sixties and seventies, there were no televisions, mobile phones and the like in the countryside, and in some villages there was even no electricity, and the nightlife was of course relatively poor.
But,Is it true that all nights, rural people go to bed after dark?
Neither is it!
During the busy farming season, rural people will go to bed early in the evening after a busy day. More often, rural people also have some social or recreational activities in the evening, and have their own nightlife.
For example,At that time, it was very popular for people to visit the door. It is to go to the homes of people with whom they have a better relationship with each other and chat under the oil lamps.
People who go to the door may bring some food and other things, and the person who receives the visit will also take out some food to entertain the visitor. People talk around the lantern at night, the sky is beautiful and northern, international and domestic, ancient and modern, the sea chats and blows, laughter, so happy!
I have visited my neighbor's house many times with a lantern, and I still remember those scenes.
At that time, although the economy was poor, the distance between people was small and there was a lot of communication, unlike today's people, who live in a building and have not been to each other's homes for decades.
Believe it or not, how many times have you been to your upstairs and downstairs neighbor's house over the years? How many times has your neighbor come to your house? Aren't they all very few?
This is modern man, who is much more materially abundant, and the distance between people's hearts is far away, alas.
At night in the sixties and seventies, rural people still liked to listen to stories.
The storyteller is usually a respected old man in the village, or someone who has traveled from south to north and seen the world. The content of the story is complex, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, rich and bizarre. There is a villager who likes to tell ghost stories, and we children are so terrified that we children dare not pee in the distance.
The nightlife of the countryside in the sixties and seventies still has to listenStorytelling, theater and cinema.
The most popular Henan pendant in our area is often a storytelling team that says Henan pendant comes to the village, a white-faced scholar-like master, an apprentice, and a blind man who pulls strings. Speaking of the content of the story, I remember "Hu Yanqing Fighting", "The Biography of Hai Rui", and some I can't remember the name.
When telling a story, a few horse lanterns (or one or two dead wind lanterns) are hung high, the storytelling team is under the lamp, and the villagers are sitting or standing around. When it comes to the excitement of the book, hundreds of listeners are staring, only the storyteller's rap, strings and bangzi sound. I still remember that scene now!
We children are not very enthusiastic about watching the play, mainly to join in the fun. But,We are also very excited when we see a military commander wearing a pheasant feather and holding a weapon on the stage.
Sometimes watching movies in their own villages, sometimes lighting torches, a group of people running several miles or more to other villages to watch them. There were only a few movies at that time, "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare", "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and so on. We've seen it, and we're going to see it again. There are movies, such as:"Tunnel Warfare" and "Mine Warfare", I have watched it five times!
All in all, although the countryside was generally poor in the sixties and seventies, it had its own nightlife. At that time, the nightlife was not as colorful as it is now, but it felt that there was less separation between people, and there was more communication than now.
Friends born in the sixties and seventies, do you think so?
