In every corner of Chinese society, a special group of people is receiving the attention and praise of the whole society. They were born between 1940 and 1965, their lives witnessed the glorious leap from war to modernization, they watered the country's development with wisdom and sweat, and now, special evaluation is like a spring breeze blowing through their hearts.
This generation is known as the strugglers, who dedicated their youth and blood to the birth and rise of New China. They built the backbone of the country with solid hands, witnessed the surge of industrialization, and it was they who helped China rise from the ashes and move towards prosperity.
They are not only builders, but also valuable inheritors of knowledge. Retirement is not the end of life, many retirees still actively participate in social activities, as consultants, volunteers, the experience and wisdom of a lifetime unreservedly pass on to more people.
At the same time, they are also a generation of witnesses. Every change in New China from its cradle period to its growth period has been engraved in their hearts. Their life stories have become witnesses of the times.
They remember how the collective activities in the village were held together in those years. For example, fishing in the village has not only increased efficiency, but also strengthened the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance among neighbours.
Childhood friendship and holiday anticipation are the warmest memories in their hearts. At that time, the traditional festival was not only a celebration, but also a testimony of the friendship of the children.
Every festival, the busy figure of every household and the fragrance of wheat on the stone mill constitute the warmest scene. At that time, food was not only a pleasure for the taste buds, but also a comfort for the soul.
The experience of cool mounts and market catches in their childhood became the proudest conversation between them. Those days were simple and fun.
They miss the rural life of their childhood, and those traditional Xi and simple family affection seem to call the heart of every wanderer.
Retirement has opened a new chapter in the lives of these retirees. Their lives have been given new meanings, and society's evaluation of them has reached a new level.
In the afterglow of the setting sun, they recalled the hardships and joys of farming in the past. Returning home that day is not only a desire for home, but also a satisfaction for life.
This special evaluation is not only an affirmation of their contribution to the country, but also an appreciation of their attitude towards life. They are the symbols of that era, and their stories will forever be engraved in the memory of China.
