htmlThe 1980s was the early stage of China's reform and opening up, and it was also the time when new things appeared on the land of China. The whole society was in a hazy state, with simplicity and fashion coexisting. It was also the most romantic and memorable era in our country at that time. The streets of Chengdu were still very lively, and drinking tea and mahjong on the street were indispensable activities at that time.

The rise of hot pot

When it comes to Chengdu, we must mention hot pot. Since the 1980s, hot pot began to appear on the streets of Chengdu, especially in the early 1980s, the emergence of the first local hot pot brand, Hot bonsai, in Chengdu, suddenly attracted people's enthusiasm. However, at that time, a hot pot meal was not cheap, and it took 40 or 50 yuan for a meal, which was enough for a month's living expenses. Therefore, being able to eat a hot bonsai hot pot was a very fashionable thing at that time.

Chunxi Road bustling

Now when you come to Chengdu for tourism, you will definitely not miss Chunxi Road. Chunxi Road is a road built in Chengdu in 1924. Because it was proposed by the warlord Yang Sen , it was named Senwei Road after its rank of General Senwei. Later, according to the "Tao Te Ching" " people are bustling, like climbing Chuntai ", it was renamed Chunxi Road, because Chunxi Road is a golden passage connecting East Street and Zongfu Road Quanye Site, so it is very popular and has become a lively street market.

After the 1980s, Chunxi Road became more prosperous, especially the opening of the Qingnian Road market on Chunxi Road, which attracted a large number of people who went into business. Because it is good and cheap, it has a lot of people, making it a treasure pot in Chengdu and has also made many Chengdu people rich.

Teahouses and Mahjong Life

Chengdu people have a long tradition of drinking tea. Chengdu has a large number of teahouses, spread throughout the streets and alleys of the city. It can be said that it is the city with the largest number of teahouses in my country. These teahouses of different sizes are full of people every day, and the noise around the teahouses is endless, full of life atmosphere.

For Chengdu people, teahouses are not only places to drink tea, but also places to carry out commercial and social activities. In teahouses, everyone can obtain various information and expand their social circle. At the same time, teahouses are also places for them to resolve various private disputes and express their opinions. I believe that many people have the memory of being taken to the teahouse by their grandfather or father in their childhood.

As for mahjong, this is an old tradition for Chengdu people. As long as you have time, Chengdu people will find a place to go twice, especially on rainy days, playing mahjong is a leisure choice for many people. Moreover, there must be a mahjong table in places where there is a teahouse. As long as the mahjong table is opened, you have to stand aside in everything, but three missing one is very fatal. Therefore, would rather let down three meals than three people .

Entertainment activities for young people

After the reform and opening up, Chinese films continued to develop. At that time, young couples liked to meet at the entrance of the cinema when they were in love, especially the Chengdu Youth Palace Cinema, which was one of the most popular cinemas in Chengdu at that time.

In 1988, another cinema Peace Cinema was renovated and set up a luxurious dance hall, as well as various bars, billiards, electronic games and other leisure services. At this time, the cinema was not just a cinema, but a leisure place that brought together a variety of entertainment methods.

On the other hand, due to the spread of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music, the traditional ballroom dance was revived in Chengdu. The Cultural Palace in Chengdu changed the original ice rink to the baba dance pool. Although the facilities looked very simple, it was a very good dancing place at that time, and it also carved unforgettable memories for many people.

Trolleybus and bicycle

In the 1980s, trolleybus appeared on the streets of Chengdu. There were two wires on the roof of this tram. Although it looked cute, it was very comfortable. However, because it was an articulated trolleybus, it looked very long, which was a bit similar to the current BRT.

As for the mainstream transportation at that time, naturally, bicycles were still there. On the streets of Chengdu, bicycles were parked in densely, and it was also one of the three major things that young people got married at that time. In the 1980s, workers in Chengdu rode bicycles to and from work. When it was time to get off work, the bicycles at the entrance of the factory were very spectacular. However, if there was a motorcycle at that time, it would be a very cool thing.

Daily life

Of course, what we are most exposed to is the daily life in Chengdu. At that time, girls all had standard braids, and their clothes were also various plaid clothes. Fashionable Chengdu girls also wore floral skirts. As for the lives of other Chengdu people, shaving their heads and ears when they go to the market, don’t be too happy. At this time, if you can eat a bowl of noodles, it can be said to be a rare feast.

Of course, these photos are just a microcosm of Chengdu people's life in the 1980s, and there are many memories that can only exist in their own memories. These memories have beauty, sweetness, and an indescribable feeling in that era. Maybe they are old and always like to miss the past, but when we were young, we longed to grow up quickly. Unfortunately, we will grow up forever, but we can never go back.
