Recently, the seasonal changes were made. I cleaned up the house inside and out and found a lot of treasured old objects. As I looked at it, I burst into tears and there were too many beautiful or sad memories.
Remember Lu Wei in the book "The bigger the small family", mentioned: 's attitude towards old things should not be blindly abandoned, but preserved with a selective and ritual sense. In the study of human memory, there is a saying: our subconscious mind seals everything deep in our minds, like a drawer. If the key appears, the drawer will be opened, and the old thing is this important key.
1. Panasonic Walkman and tape
More than ten years ago I went to college and earned money from being a tutor during the summer vacation. I bought the Panasonic Ultra Thin Walkman, which was very popular at the time. The price was quite expensive at that time, and it seemed to cost more than 1,000 yuan. It is said to be used to listen to English, but in fact it is used to listen to music most of the time, especially when studying in the library, it is very enjoyable to listen to music while studying.
At that time, I saved money and bought a lot of favorite tapes, including Stefanie Sun , Faye Wong , Jingru Liang , FIR, Jolin Tsai , Karen Mok , TWINS, SHE, Jay Chou , Andy Lau , Tao Zhe , JJ Lin , Mayday, Soda Green , etc. There are about 100 boxes.
When I was in college, I was a relatively introverted and lonely person. The walkman and tape accompanied me through my youthful years of hard study.
Unfortunately, after graduating from graduate school, I found a job in another city and had too much luggage, so I took most of the tapes back to my hometown. Later, the old house in my hometown was demolished and built a new building was lost for some reason. When I learned about it, my heart was really bleeding.
Now there are only a few boxes left on hand. At that time, I went to the city where I worked and kept it until now. I tried it last night and I can still listen to it. The feeling of listening to the tape is completely different from listening to the music of mobile phones. The sound quality of the tape is great!
Walkman looks like this, does it bring back everyone's memories? Many people have the same style, right? The headphones are wire-controlled. I remember when I was in school, I listened to a box of tapes over and over at night. likes to listen to them and repeatedly "rewind" . Now we are all listening to music on our mobile phones, do we still use the word "rewind"? Children nowadays are probably unfamiliar with "rewind". The parts in
are all well preserved. The old items I like are all packed in a small suitcase and are well protected. The lithium battery inside is no longer usable, but fortunately there is a matching external battery box. In recent times, they should have accompanied me to listen to music and fall asleep. The only few remaining tapes will be used as heirlooms in the future.
2. LG Old mobile phone
This phone was given to me by my boyfriend at that time and my current husband. It has been preserved until now. It was a coincidence that my husband and I met him when we were asking for directions at school and then we started dating. After falling in love, I realized that we were born on the same day of the same year, month and day. The so-called fate is wonderful. More than ten years have passed, and now all the children are going to school.
This phone was quite attractive at that time because it was a full keyboard. I used it to type and send text messages very easily. At that time, I had to send thousands of text messages to my boyfriend every month. Nowadays, people rarely send text messages.
It contains this kind of battery that can be charged separately. Isn’t it very memorable? In the past, two batteries were often used, so there was no need to worry that the batteries would run out of power. After I charged last night, my phone was still turned on, and the text messages inside were still there. The reason why I was reluctant to throw this phone away was because there were thousands of text messages in it.
I flipped through a few text messages and found that my status in my husband's mind seemed to have changed. In the past, the names I called me in the text messages were: baby, cute, little beauty... Now, WeChat is full of: Fat Mom!
3. Movie ticket stub
More than ten years ago, when I first started working, I was in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend’s current husband, and I could only meet once every two weeks on weekends. If I meet him busy, I have to see him once a month or two.
Long-distance relationship was really painful. At that time, I had just entered society and was beaten hard by society, so I really wanted to find him to rely on. He also worked hard to catch up with the project, trying to take time to accompany me without distraction. At that time, he was still very poor. In order to save money, he took the green train in the middle of the night and arrived at my city around 6 o'clock in the morning.
Every time we spend the weekend together, we go to watch movies. We have watched a lot of movies, and I can't bear to throw away every movie ticket. I hope we can end our long-distance relationship soon.
" No Man's Land " I watched together in 2013. Many of the words on the ticket stubs disappeared. I couldn't tell when I saw the movie, but it didn't matter. I still remember our sweet time and mutual encouragement. Fortunately, two years later, he also came to work in my city. We ended our long-distance relationship and watched movies together every weekend.
However, afterwards, I became busier and busier in my work. I either worked overtime or he was on a business trip. After the child was born, I had no time for the two of them. Even if I watched a movie, I would take my child to watch parent-child animation movies together. Last night I showed him these movie ticket stubs. He was so surprised and said, "Wife, let's take the time to go to a movie together, don't take a stinky brat."
suddenly had the urge to cry!
4. Tickets for Guiyuan Temple in Wuhan
These three tickets are unwilling to throw away. This is the first time my brother and I took my mother to a tourist attraction after working. My mother has been a farmer all her life and has never traveled. But the reality is so sad. We are not going to play, but praying, begging God to let go of the kind, hardworking and hard-working mother, so that she can live for two more years and enjoy the blessings of her children.
Mom was diagnosed with advanced cancer in May 2015. The doctor said that it was impossible to say it for 3 months, six months, or a year, so be mentally prepared. We didn't dare to tell our mother, we just told her that the surgery could be cured. Before the operation, we took our mother to Guiyuan Temple in Wuhan, where the arhats were said to be very effective. My mother was very happy. She was very pious. She worshipped every Bodhisattva and every Buddha statue and donated money. She worshipped the Arhats she counted for a long time.
It’s a pity, it didn’t work. In April 2016, my mother died after suffering from cancer, and my sky fell. If heaven really has a spirit, let her live a better life there and suffer less!
5. BOSE headphones
In 2016, I spent more than 1,000 to buy myself a BOSE earphone. At that time, it was no longer popular to use this style of headphones. Instead, the small wireless Bluetooth headphones were very popular.
I like this type of headphones, especially when I was working. After experiencing the repeated phone calls from customers every day, I only had a moment of peace that belonged to me during lunch break and overtime. I put it on and the world suddenly became quiet. I quietly reviewed the work of the day, or processed the materials that needed to calm down to write.
Sometimes, I am criticized by my leaders, misunderstood by my colleagues, and scolded by my customers. My tears are rolling in my eyes, but I will not let it flow. The office is not a place to cry, others will look down on you. I just had to wear it silently and play a song I like, and stereo surround my ears. I felt as if I was purifying and there was no one else. It only took the time of a song and I would heal myself.
It is a good partner in my work. As long as I wear it, my colleagues and leaders know that they can’t disturb me at this moment. because of me, they are healing themselves!
These old objects have allowed me to regain a lot of dusty memories. They accompany me through the long years and are my partners in life. They remind me how to love myself, loved my relatives, and love life.
