1. 1984, Beijing. In the last century, during the visit of US President Reagan to China, the "First Lady" Nancy visited a resident's home in Fusuijing Street, Beijing. This family has an extraordinary temperament, and the old lady in the family seems to have seen the world.

There is also a 14-inch black and white TV set above the chest of drawers.

In the old photos of Guilin suburbs taken by Polish photographers in the last century, people's clothes at that time looked simple and generous, the landscape of Li River was very beautiful, and the water quality was also translucent.

Calculated based on the purchasing power at the time, this fare was really not cheap.
3. 1984, Henan. What's rare is that this family already has a washing machine. In my hometown, a family's son got married in the 1990s, and his wife's family had a washing machine as a dowry. It has been sitting in the countryside for more than ten years and she couldn't bear to use it. Later, a hole rotted under the house due to leaks and rainwater, and a chicken coop was made.
4. 1984, Beijing. In the last century, in the cafeteria of the Peking University dormitory, there were student couples cuddling up to eat. The male protagonist has curly hair with obvious signs of the times, and wide-angle glasses for myopia. If my guess is correct, he also has a pair of toad glasses in his dormitory. The heroine listened intently to what he was saying. Judging from this distance, it was definitely not an oath of love. If this couple finally got together and performed normally, they would be at the bureau level now.

11. 1984, Wuhan. In the last century, the girl in the picture was a female worker at Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. She had to transfer three times on a rainy day to get to the bookstore. In those days, to borrow a book, you had to check the book list in the library first, then fill in the borrowing slip, and hand it over to the librarian to pick up the book. Finally, you could take the book home and read it slowly. Now, in the Internet age, it is easy to read whatever book you want, but you no longer have the mentality to read quietly.

I don’t know when it started, but it became popular to pick up children after school, including elementary school students and junior high school students.

She lived with her grandma when she was studying. She recalled that going to the street with her grandma to buy candies was the happiest thing. At that time, the economic conditions in the mountainous areas of Guizhou were poor, and my grandmother was afraid of suffering for her, a child who was not with her parents, so she always squeezed out some money from the family's food expenses and carried her out to buy candies on her back every now and then. It can be seen that Meng Wanzhou was quite tall at that time...
