"I didn't expect that the small ticket could be put on such a big 'stage' and lead more audiences to appreciate that period of history." Gu Min, a 70-year-old resident of Huajing Town, has been "on fire" these days. His collection of red tickets, along with the old objects of other residents, was unveiled at the East Bay Art Center in Shanghai.

During the National Day holiday, several ordinary citizens and an art museum at the "doorstep" collided with a wonderful spark - a red memory exhibition of "Forge Ahead, Brilliant Century" is being held. At the exhibition site, all the collections, including red tickets, vintage sewing machines, permanent brand bicycles, and three-leaf electric fan fans, come from community residents.

According to reports, the red memory exhibition takes the historical era as a clue and connects a wealth of physical exhibits such as old objects and old tickets. Through the red memories in the hearts of the people, we reflect the development history of modern and modern China, continue the revolutionary bloodline, inherit the red gene, and learn the history of the party, strengthen the faith, and increase the motivation between the inches.

Gu Min, a "community collector", is also a grandfather with a story. "When I was a kid, I collected sugar paper and stamps, and when I grew up, I became obsessed with tickets — this is a miniature version of the 'Red Encyclopedia.'" His collection is 30 years, accumulating a lot of red tickets. On display alone, there are more than 80 frames, more than 40 pieces, and more than 4,000 tickets, stringing together the timeline of the past hundred years. Gu Min told reporters that he also carefully classified the tickets into five sections: "Brilliant Century," "Party Leadership," "People's Power," "People's Army," and "Great Rivers and Mountains." And carefully collected the historical background related to the ticket, hoping to let young audiences know more about the material life of ordinary people in the past. "Some young people may not have experienced the era when they had to buy things with tickets, and through this exhibition, they can understand something. After the reform and opening up, we will not need tickets, because the country has developed, the economic situation has improved, and the people have become rich. ”

Gu Min said that these tickets have also been displayed in the exhibition hall of Huajing Wucun Community before, but it is the first time that they have appeared in the cultural venues in front of their homes. This bill exhibition stems from the keen perspective of Huajing Town, capturing and perceiving the residents' demand for red memory culture. "Now, older visitors come nostalgic, younger come with curiosity, dragging me to ask the story behind the ticket and the experience of collecting."

Equally eye-catching is a permanent Model 13 bike. This is the collector, 74-year-old Yao Yungeng bought on the eve of reform and opening up. This exhibition is also to share with you his dreams when he was young. "At that time, this bicycle was the most windy," he recalled, he recalled, his monthly salary was less than 50 yuan, but a bicycle cost 200 yuan. "Now that life is better, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people's lives are getting better and better."

Not far away, there is a sewing machine with "ancient taste". "This sewing machine is my lover's dowry. At that time, getting married, no sewing machine is not like words! Yao Yungeng said that the sewing machine was bought at the Overseas Chinese Store on Nanjing Road and was full of memories of the times. Now, the Bund "Second Façade" urban renewal project continues to advance, and the Overseas Chinese Building will be completed by the end of this year to restart to citizens and tourists.

"Seeing these old objects reminds me of the time when I was a child, very sweet and warm." Wang Keyi came to visit deliberately, she said, "In the past, there was a very small TV set at home, and sometimes many people in the alley watched it together, but now a mobile phone can be done, and the times are developing too fast." ”

"Shanghai Dongwan Art Center, which is originally a public art exhibition space, is now developing more application scenarios to forge the soft power of the city and make the people have a greater sense of gain." At the same time, it is also to encourage community masters to have their own hobbies and drive a group of people, everyone is soft power, and everyone shows soft power. Gong Li, a member of the party committee of Huajing Town, said.
