Like other children, in that era of material poverty, every new thing could make him happy for a long time.
Before 2000, the post-80s generation was most likely to be nostalgic. Three-cent rubber bands, five-cent erasers, one-dime popsicles and pencils, two-cent homework books, a few yuan sandals, and new clothes and meat that were only available during the New Year are all things that can make him happy.
Comparing it with his current life, he believes that the reason for nostalgia is not that he misses the land and the people who live there.
He proves that if you have never left your childhood village, you can still talk about your childhood memories when you drink and joke. However, in the dead of night, revisiting the faded light and shadow will give birth to some loneliness.
Therefore, he concluded that the old thing he cherished was the unrestrained that was stuck in his childhood, and the joy and satisfaction brought to life by the new things and new things that appeared one after another at that time, which were the faded "old **" stored in his mind.
At that time, once he bought new stationery, or the school issued a new book, he was very precious, the new book must be wrapped in the book cover, the first few pages of the new book, the handwriting must be extremely neat, after a period of time, the freshness is gone, and they are no longer valued.
There are also new clothes, and I am looking forward to the coming year before the Chinese New Year. Because the previous year's longing has been worn on the body, the next year has become hope. During the Chinese New Year, eating delicious food and having fun is just as happy as wearing new clothes.
After the New Year, the New Year begins, people start cleaning the house, and the annual cleaning curtain is opened. The whole family works together, from the floor to the walls, to the purlins and beams on the roof, leaving no corner of the house. Wipe the glass, wipe the furniture, sweep the cobwebs, sweep the dust, clean inside and out. The family talked and laughed, chatted about the interesting things in the past year, and talked about the new things in the village. When the cleaning is completed, it symbolizes that the bad luck and bad luck will be swept away, and the whole family will change into new clothes and welcome the new year with a new look.
In fact, the anticipation of the New Year for children is nothing more than food, firecrackers and free play.
When a person goes to society, he finally understands the hardships of his parents and knows what life is not easy. He lived in the most humble dark room in the largest city, and the rent of 300 yuan a month made him feel painful. At that time, he felt that he had difficulty breathing, and it was difficult to breathe in a breath of fresh air.
But his curiosity and longing for new things continue to be the same as in his childhood. He spends all his income on exploring new things, electronics, clothes, shoes, nothing is left behind. As his income increases, life is still very poor, but he seems to find pleasure in these new experiences, and finally, he joins the Moonlight Clan who has been complained about by himself.
Social development is changing with each passing day, new things are emerging in an endless stream, and the replacement is coming quickly, in order to get these "beautiful" experiences, he began to work overtime desperately and frequently change jobs. Gradually, he discovers that no matter how hard he tries, his wish list always gets longer and longer, and it seems that it will never be reduced.
Melancholy, he felt tired.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand the meaning of the new life. The laying of eggs means that it is the end of autumn, which is the end of their lives, and for the birth of new life, the golden cicadas pay the price of their lives. For the sake of the new life of spring, the fallen leaves also give back to the earth with life.
He's changed, and he'll write his newly bought notebook meticulously from beginning to end. He no longer buys, buys, doesn't like to go out, stays away from drinking and chatting, and after work, he can't use the old antiques at home, he can take the trouble to toss all day long, turn these things into treasures, and do handicrafts to enrich his life.
One day, he was pleasantly surprised to find that he had saved up money. After quitting the game for more than half a year, he saved time to learn English, and recently, he found that he can roughly read English documents. He rekindled his enthusiasm for life, and this time what attracted him was no longer those strange new things and things, but a planned trip, an outdoor exercise, watching a classic drama, bringing snacks to the library for a day, he began to write articles and contributions, and began to care about science and health.
At the beginning of spring that year, when he was tidying up his clothes, he suddenly realized that he hadn't bought new clothes for a long time, and it seemed that he had stopped caring about it for a long time. The clothes he usually wears, like old friends who have been with him for many years, know him and are considerate of him, and he feels that these old clothes are comfortable to wear, so he no longer wants to change them.
The bloodline carries the strength to control the body, and the character leads the fate to the right way.
The steadfastness and stability of his work made him gain the trust of his boss. Love, too, bloomed in that summer. He felt that he had really changed, under the wind and rain of human affection, in the unpredictable groping of the world, relying on his tenacious character and hard-working hands, he changed himself and gained a new life.
It's just that, sometimes, he still turns over his past memories. It's just that at this time, there is no regret and loneliness in the feeling, there is only a sweet aftertaste, and happy caresses.
