Time flies, and the years leave traces. Many objects that were once commonplace are gradually disappearing from people's eyes. There are also many "old objects" that condense precious memories and are properly kept. They not only carry the memory of a generation, but also witness the development of society. Today, let's listen to the stories behind these "old objects" and feel the changes of the times brought about by reform and opening up......
Brother Guan of Huacao Town
More than 30 years ago, the family was not wealthy, his parents were farmers, and his father was a very frugal man, so he assembled a bicycle from parts. The "old tank" rings everywhere except for the bell, which is really worthy of the name "except that the bell does not ring, it will sing everywhere". After years of tempering and decades of vicissitudes, the "old tank" has long lost its former luster, and finally took a back seat in his father's regret and leaned quietly on the corner of the old house.

In the era of the planned economy with the implementation of the food stamp system, it was almost impossible to move an inch without food stamps, because of the scarcity of commodities in the market, and the ticket system at that time played an important role in ensuring supply and stabilizing people's hearts, but at the same time, it also brought inconvenience to people's lives. Back then, when people wanted to buy goods that were in short supply, they not only needed to save money, but they also needed to scrape together the necessary tickets. It was not until 1993 that the national grain and oil prices were liberalized, and the food stamps that had gone through 38 years of history finally "came to an end" and withdrew from the stage of history.

This "three-five" brand table clock is the early 1980s when the parents got married, "big", think that year, in an ordinary family, the high-end supplies for marriage in addition to "three turns and one ring", a "three-five" grandfather clock placed on the cabinet, full of style. Nearly 40 years have passed, life is getting better and better, and the "35" table clock has gradually faded out of the field of vision, but it carries the memories of two generations and the nostalgia for the good times of the past.

As a local enterprise, in the early 60s of the last century, Shanghai Seagull Camera Factory was in urgent need of domestic high-end SLR cameras in the fields of national defense, public security, journalism, medical care, scientific research, and sports. In 1964, the Shanghai Camera Factory was ordered to develop the mainland's first high-end single-lens reflex camera, and General Secretary Jiang Zemin once inscribed the Shanghai Seagull Factory: "Seagulls spread their wings and fly to the world." At that time, Seagull Factory started Shanghai culture and Shanghai manufacturing with such a attitude. It coincides with the concept of "Shanghai brand" manufactured products that we advocate today.

This coffee pot was given to me by a friend in the early 80s of the last century. Because he was used to drinking boiled water, and his income was not high at that time, he didn't dare to ask for expensive coffee, so this pot was put on the shelf. Later, life was better, and there were even more coffee shops on the roadside than there were tea stalls in the past, so I bought a coffee pot and tried to open a "foreign meat". After retirement, he changed to a coffee machine that integrates grinding, heating, and drip filtration, and drinking coffee has gradually become a habit. That old-fashioned aluminum coffee pot has long since become a "collector's item".
