Yangzi Evening News Network March 21 (correspondent Li Yu reporter Gao Feng) In Guanmiao Town, Suyu District, Suqian City, 66-year-old Wu Shicheng loves to collect calendars, and he also takes notes on the calendar. Open his collection of calendars, which record state and family affairs, reflecting the changes of the times.
Wu Shicheng's collection of calendars
In his spare time, Wu Shicheng has the habit of sorting out his own collection of calendars at home. From 1984 to 2022, each year's calendar has a wide range of themes, rich and colorful content, great stars, literature and art, scenic spots, Chinese and foreign scenery, health care, etc., and the shape of the calendar is also different in size and layout.
Speaking of the collection calendar, in fact, it is related to Wu Shicheng's experience when he was a child, "When we were young, our family was relatively poor, affected by the family life situation, and at that time, we did not have enough to eat, which laid a kind of thinking, how do we people fit in with nature, we love agriculture, agricultural technology." ”
Wu Shicheng took notes on the calendar
Wu Shicheng, who has a strong sense of time, has a clear understanding of when to cultivate the fields and sow these agricultural knowledge from a young age. In 1981, Wu Shicheng was arranged by the township to become an agricultural technician at the agricultural technology station, and by chance, he got the first white-skinned calendar of his life.
"A technician went to the countryside, he had two books in his bag, and when he pulled them out, one of them suddenly fell out. So he gave me a copy. Ever since he gave me a copy, I've been inspired by him. Seeing that other agricultural technicians carry calendars with them, others do not say, Wu Shicheng also understands that it is to better grasp the knowledge of time, solar terms, etc., which is indispensable for the study of agricultural technology."
Since then, Woos achievements have begun to collect their own calendars. Not only that, but he also records what happens every day on every page of the calendar to make the calendar more vivid.
Wu Shicheng was flipping through the notes on the calendar, recalling the past.
"These major events of the state are also remembered, things under special social circumstances are also recorded, and gifts in the home are also recorded, family affairs are recorded, from state affairs to family affairs, weather forecasts must be remembered, that must be remembered." Turning to a 1997 calendar, the most meaningful thing that happened that year was the return of Hong Kong on July 1, when the handover ceremony between China and Britain was held at midnight on June 30, 1997, and Wu Shicheng kept watching by the TV set, writing the words "Light Rain, Hong Kong's Return" on the calendar with a pen.
Wu Shicheng said, "That day I returned, so I must record it in the calendar, it has returned to our continent, and with us, I feel comfortable." ”
The Beijing Olympics were also recorded on the calendar by Wu Shicheng
On December 20, 1999, Macao returned to the embrace of the motherland, and Wu Shicheng also recorded it with a pen. Of course, what impressed Wu Shicheng the most was the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Wu Shicheng wrote on the calendar, "The Beijing Olympic Games start at 8:08:08 in the morning, sunny, 25 °C -30 °C." ”
Wu Shicheng was also very busy at work in those days, but as long as he had time, he would turn on the TV and feel the Olympic grandeur, "Sometimes there are special things that I don't have time to watch, I go back and watch it, watch it twice, watch it three times, basically watch it the whole time." ”
In addition to major national events, on his collection of calendars, his son went to the street for the first time to sell rapeseed, and his grandson went to school on the first day, and Wu Shicheng wrote them down one by one, leaving memories.
Someone once asked Wu Shicheng, what is the use of collecting these waste papers? But in his view, these 38 calendars, each with a different age and different content, record the historical development and changes, witness the development of society, and also record every day he has walked, because it is meaningful, so he will always insist on collecting.
