The most authentic old photos from the 1970s and 1980s, the memories of those born in the 1970s that can never be returned to.

Seeing these old black and white photos brings back memories of the past in my mind, and these images are lingering.

These old photos contain memories of our lives in the 1960s and 1970s.

The reason why we have such deep memories and deep nostalgia.

I miss you because I passed by!

Nostalgia comes from comparison!

Although material life was relatively poor in the 1960s and 1970s, people had a positive and uplifting spirit. The past is vividly remembered, the passionate years and the innocent era!

We do not miss poverty, but simplicity, kindness, and integrity.

The farmers were very poor at that time, and a big man working in the production team earned 20 cents a day. The days when we were workers in our village were the happiest, prices were low, and one worker earned as much as ten farmers.

Everyone who has experienced this scene of handing over public food may still remember it.

I remember that when Haiyan was a child, she would go to pay the public rations with the adults and get up early to queue up.

The scene of handing over public rations 30 years ago, everyone who had to pay them was old.

I heard from older people that at that time, the public grain payment was about 16% of the grain output per mu.

For example, if the wheat yield per mu is 500 kilograms, you need to pay about 80 kilograms of public grain.

If my family has 10 acres of land, they have to pay more than 1,400 kilograms.

Have you ever experienced this work? You are riding a keel cart in the fields to divert water to irrigate the fields.

In those days, water was pumped manually for irrigation, all with manpower.

It requires many people to work together.

It’s the New Year and I see the smiles of adults and the happiness and joy of children.

What children look forward to most is the New Year, with delicious food and new clothes to wear.

The Chinese New Year is the happiest time for children.

Of course, pasting couplets and cutting window grilles are indispensable. At that time, window grilles were cut by ingenious people, but now not many people can do it.

Full of New Year atmosphere.

In this photo, four generations of a family are having a reunion dinner together during the Spring Festival. How happy and lively it is.

Does seeing this scene bring back memories of your childhood?

There is also the custom of making dumplings and steaming steamed buns during the New Year. Steaming steamed buns symbolizes the prosperity of the day.

It’s full of Chinese New Year flavor. It feels festive when you look at it!

Setting off firecrackers is an unforgettable memory for us. Children hang firecrackers on sticks like this. After setting off, they look for unlit squibs.

Then break it open, light the medicine inside and play with the flowers.

Children have such simple toys as windmills and machetes. A few simple toys can make children have so much fun.

At that time, there were still televisions, not to mention mobile phones and computers. You could only listen to the radio, and not every household had one.

People who have radios are very wealthy.

At that time, if you wanted to hold a Spring Festival Gala, you could only go and watch it live.

This picture is the performance of two art masters Hou Baolin and Guo Qiru.

The supply and marketing cooperatives of that era were department stores in big cities.

When I was a kid, I especially liked the smell there. I could always smell the aroma coming from the food.

If there are any friends who feel the same as me, please raise your hands!

In the 1980s, "Afro" hair was the standard for advanced young people. At that time, when it came to marriage, the woman put forward conditions and the man could basically achieve them through hard work.

But overall, people are relatively innocent and gentle.

Is the photo on the carton the girl is carrying is hers?

In those days, you had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy candies, and you were reluctant to throw away the candy wrappers after you finished eating them. I felt that the patterns on the candy wrappers were special, so I collected them. At that time, my only dream was to open a small shop in my home.

Did you make such a mat when you were a child?

Straw cushions are called futons. In the north, the materials used to weave futons for cooking are usually made from local materials, such as the skin of corn sticks.

Ni Xiaoxiang, have you ever played it?

Seeing this reminds me of my childhood days when I made toys and never tired of it. It’s still funny when I think about it now.

Many primary school teachers experienced when they were young that their desks were stacks of soil separated by wooden boards, with three people on one board.

Have you not experienced it?

To play stick picking, you need to collect enough popsicle sticks. Usually, three or four people collect them together to play. Throwing stones, roasting sweet potatoes, swimming in the river, etc. The hair of those who have played this must have turned white!

The taste of childhood in my memory - roasted sweet potatoes in the countryside. The memory of the big hat, my favorite in childhood. When I see such a hat, I feel really old. Do you feel the same!

Childhood, just yesterday, was still a good time when I was a child, carefree, beautiful childhood memories.

After reading the touching memories of my childhood, I felt that although I was poor at that time, I was warm and happy.
