In today's era of rapid development, people are living a very prosperous life, both spiritually and materially.
But at the same time, it also makes people wonder what life was like in the old era, and when you look back at these old photos again, you can't help but feel emotional.
There are not only scenes from what life was like decades ago, but also some real photos that we never knew about!
At that time, almost all photos were black and white, and it was a great deal to have a camera, let alone leave any color photos.
That's why these photos are so precious, and one of the things people loved to do at that time was to visit the vegetable market.
This photo was taken in Shanghai in the 80s, and it can be seen that there were many people on that day, and it was June 26.
Some people may wonder if there is anything special? In fact, that day was the work experience exchange meeting of the top ten cities and ten vegetable farms in the country.
Basically, they wake up early in the morning to buy the freshest pork and vegetables, and when they get home, they start their busy day.
And this picture records the vegetable market on North Shaanxi Road in the 80s, and people who have bought vegetables in this place should be very familiar with it.
The next picture is Shanghai in the 80s, when there was no supermarket.
But this picture is about the same size as the supermarket in our impression, and it is actually the prototype of the first supermarket in Shanghai.
At that time, the vast majority of vendors still used pole scales, and electronic scales were also used at that time, but only a few merchants used them.
Like this egg seller, the proprietress used an electronic scale of that era, don't look at it, it's quite new, it should be a new one.
The young workers service team in this picture are all vegetable farms, and you can see that there are car repairers and haircuts.
At the back of the door, there is also a man stepping on a sewing machine, which is really quite rare, and most people have the impression that it is a woman's sewing machine.
In the same 80s, people's travel methods were similar to those now, but they were not like them, and at that time they were basically "Jiefang" and "Yellow River" brand passenger vehicles.
In addition, in those days, there was also a "husband and wife station", where the station master and his wife checked the tickets for passengers.
It is said that in those days, many rural stations were "husband and wife stations", and we don't understand why.
But if you push the time back to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, you will find that there are two stark contrasts, and people's lives at that time can be said to be extremely difficult.
From the picture, you can see that the women at that time were wrapped in "little feet", which is also the "three-inch golden lotus" that we often say in our lives.
It seems that it should be the embroidery girl at that time, and the textile tools that should be held in her hand are working, and her expression looks very painful.
This is a street sword-swallowing artist, mainly "making money by mouth", and more than ten years ago, there were often acrobatic troupes in the countryside to perform in similar forms.
But it's not hard to see that it's hard money to earn, even if you have a painful face, you still have to finish the show.
At that time, there was still a coachman, which was similar to what we watched in film and television dramas, and the wheels were simply beyond imagination.
But it is not difficult to see that this cart is not as luxurious as it looks in film and television dramas, and if you look closely, the coachman's feet still look like straw sandals.
It seems that the income from pulling a car is only enough to support the family at most.
What is even more touching is that the street vendors are carrying flat poles and selling on the side of the road, and there is a small child sitting in the basket.
The clothes he was wearing were also tattered, which showed that his usual life was not very good.
Both men and women came out to make a living, and a woman carried ducks to sell them around on the road.
If you don't look closely, you really can't tell that this woman is wearing a pair of shoes on her feet, which is no different from not wearing them at all.
At about the same time, there are many old photos worth cherishing abroad, and this picture is the famous "Normandy landing", which can be said to change the direction of World War II history to a certain extent.
The foreign woman was Queen Elizabeth II's later Queen of England, and she was only 18 years old at the time.
I have to sigh that the temperament is really innate.
For Marilyn Monroe, there must be many people who know about it, a picture of the wind blowing up the skirt "One stop to the gods".
To this day, it is also a classic existence, not only can her figure be sexy, but in the 50s, Marilyn Monroe also went to the army to condole.
Obviously, you can see that the eyes of the people in the audience are straight, and sure enough, no one can resist Monroe's charm.
In addition, a photo taken a hundred years ago is simply staggering, and it is hard to believe that this waist is real?
What is even more unexpected is that there were leg competitions in foreign countries in the past, in order to show the fairness of the competition.
The upper body of the woman was also covered with a bag, and only a pair of legs were exposed, and a man also used a soft ruler to measure the leg circumference, which is really incomprehensible.
Not only that, in the 30s and 40s in foreign countries, foreign women's outfits on the street were already very advanced.
How else to say that the West is open-minded, people used to dress like this on the street decades ago.
In addition, the most noteworthy thing is Teresa Teng's application form to go to Japan in person, which can be seen that Teresa Teng was very handsome when she was young.
The international on the application is more noticeable to Taiwan, China, and her ancestral home is still from Hebei.
Also as a celebrity in the entertainment industry is Xu Lai, who may be very unfamiliar with this name now.
But she was the hottest "star" in the forties and fifties, and even starred in the silent film "Remnant Spring", and finally died in the 70s at the age of 64.
And there is another actress a few years earlier than her named Zhou Xuan, who is also a veritable beauty.
The big eyes and thin eyebrows have the beauty of oriental women, and at the same time there is a gentle atmosphere, which was a "golden signboard" in the film industry at that time.
With the passage of time, some of the photos are no longer visible, and what can be seen is more worthy of being treasured.
They gave us an idea of what was going on in those days, and the current state of history at that time.
In any case, these photos are precious, and now we should cherish our current life even more!
