In modern Chinese history, there is a group of people who have been given the label of "luckiest" because of their specific background and experience. The generation born between 1962 and 1972 has undergone a transition from turmoil to stability, from scarcity to prosperity, and their life trajectories are closely linked to the development of the country. This article will delve into the "luck" of this group from the aspects of demographic characteristics, historical background, multi-perspective analysis and evidence support.
1. First of all, the population born between 1962 and 1972 was born and raised in a relatively peaceful and stable environment, just avoiding the trauma of war and three years of hardship in the early days of liberation.
2. Their childhood was accompanied by the adjustment of the national food policy, and although the material conditions were limited, the basic livelihood was guaranteed.
3. At the same time, the family size is generally large, there are more brothers and sisters, and the nourishment of family affection makes them have rich childhood memories.
4. In terms of education, this generation has the opportunity to receive formal education after the resumption of the college entrance examination, whether it is a university or a technical secondary school, which symbolizes the opportunity for knowledge to change their destiny. The state's education subsidy policy allows them to go on to higher education smoothly and avoid the risk of dropping out of school due to poverty.
5. After graduation, they enjoy stable state assignment jobs and become an important force in state institutions and state-owned enterprises.
6. On the issue of housing, they caught up with the policy dividend of welfare housing, and even if they needed to buy it at their own expense, the housing prices at that time were relatively low. This allows them to start a family without the high pressure of buying a home.
7. In terms of emotional choices, they witnessed the relative simplicity of social values, and love became the basis of marriage, rather than material conditions.
8. In the tide of reform and opening up, this generation has entered the society, which is at a critical period of China's economic take-off, whether it is a stable position within the system, or opportunities in business, the stock market, and the real estate market, all of which have created an environment for them to accumulate wealth. They are not only the witnesses of reform and opening up, but also the beneficiaries.
9. More importantly, they carry the blend of traditional culture and modern concepts, and have both a tenacious idealistic spirit and an open international vision. They are the products of the information age and the ideological emancipation movement, and have a unique social identity and value orientation.
Of course, there are some doubts about this assertion. One might point to the competitive pressures for jobs, the rising cost of living, and the challenges posed by globalization for this generation. However, these challenges are not unique to them, but are common to all members of society. Therefore, despite the controversy, we cannot deny that those born between 1962 and 1972 were indeed fortunate to have experienced a special and turning point in Chinese history.
To sum up, people born between 1962 and 1972 are fortunate to have enjoyed the benefits brought about by the stability of national policies, as well as significant improvements in education, employment and living conditions. Their stories remind us that the fate of a generation is often closely linked to the development of a country, and that the gift of history is not accidental, but the choice of the times.
