Around 2004, under the name "Pipilu", I mixed with a BBS called "70 Faction", when I was 26 years old, I had just come out of the pain of the failure of my first love, and I had just changed from a low-level worker to a clerk sitting in front of a computer. At that time, the popular BBS, just like the popular WeChat now, all kinds of people are full of major forums, there is no lack of interesting souls, sixteen years have passed, some of the forums that were very popular have disappeared, and similarly, the "70 faction" has long ceased to exist.
"70 Faction" is a website founded at the expense of a Beijing youth born in the 1970s, and the forum under the door is called "70BBS", which was once popular and was reported by many media, the vast majority of whom were born in the 1970s. Now that these people have reached middle age, think about it, sixteen years ago they were all prosperous. Because they were all the same age, because they were all enthusiastic young people, because the culture of the northeast town where I lived at that time was seriously backward, in this forum, I found the same kind, found a place for the soul. At that time, to what extent I was obsessed, just like now people can't do without mobile phones, can't do without WeChat, the first thing I do every day to open the computer is to open the "70 faction", every night I linger in it and forget the time, there are many times even midnight to wake up to see. It's like falling deeply in love with someone, unable to extricate yourself, unable to leave.
In the past two years, I have met a lot of talented people, learned a lot of knowledge, made a lot of original posts, replied to many other people's posts, and had a lot of disputes. Because of my independent personality and controversial long speeches, I was once very popular in "70BBS" and won the nickname of "Grass King". Looking back now, although I was diligent in thinking and fearless in expression, many remarks were very childish, and I was really energetic and enthusiastic at that time.
The most characteristic of BBS is that everyone designs a signature image for themselves, and every time you post a reply, this image will be automatically embedded at the bottom of the text. This signature directly indicates a person's attitude to life and cultural taste. Some people use simple pictures, some people design them carefully, and some people just write a sentence, which is diverse and has its own characteristics.
With the development of society and the bursting of China's first Internet bubble, "70BBS" has gradually declined, and I think that in addition to social reasons, insisting on not receiving advertising and failing to achieve profitability is an important reason for the unsustainability. Another important reason is that everyone is in their 20s to 30s, which is the beginning of life, and as they get older, most of their energy is focused on work and real life. Busy with promotions, busy with love.
In 2005, I downloaded and saved a lot of ID signature pictures in the computer, because of my personality, from childhood to adulthood, I never wanted to throw away my favorite things, and I read fairy tale books and toys I played with when I was a child. So, although I changed computers a few times, the pictures are still saved on my hard drive. A few days ago, I accidentally turned it out to show the "70 factions" of that year, which caused everyone to sigh.
Among these signed pictures, I was most impressed by a handwritten picture, from an ID called "West of Bashu", which did not have in-depth communication with me at that time, and the "70BBS" gathered by all kinds of heroes was not eye-catching, in my impression, she seemed to be a girl, but what posts she had posted, what remarks she had, I did not remember at all. The text was only three lines, written on the letter paper, scrawled, and there was only one sentence. The shooting is not very clear, but this sentence is very poetic, fully expressing the state of mind of a weak girl alone in a foreign country, sleepless in the middle of the night, missing her distant lover. In the past sixteen years, many websites that I have followed and liked have forgotten, but this passage often comes to my mind unconsciously.
"What time is it over there?" Here, in Korina, there were only a few apartments that didn't fit my pajamas. I'm not my skinny body, and Brazil is not west of Bashu."
