There is a group of people born between 1962 and 1972 who happen to step on the tail of all kinds of good fortune in Chinese history.
Born between 1962 and 1972, this is a time that coincides with those turbulent years. For example, they did not experience a long period of war, nor did they go hungry by the terrible famine of 1959-1961.
When they were children, the country's food supply had stabilized, and although they might still have to eat some coarse tea and light rice, at least they wouldn't be hungry, which was lucky!
At that time, there were quite a lot of children in Chinese families, unlike when the family planning policy was introduced, a family could only have one baby. Some of the children born between 1962 and 1972 were siblings playing together, and the family was lively.
Going to school is also good luck. When they went to school, it was just in time for the country to resume the college entrance examination, and they did not have to go to the countryside to go to the countryside like their parents' generation.
As long as this generation is admitted to a university or technical secondary school, not only is the tuition fee free, but also there is a monthly stipend from the government to ensure that they can easily finish their studies.
After graduation, it is even more appropriate to work in a job. At that time, the state allocated jobs in a planned way, and basically had a job after graduation, and many times they could stay in the big cities and be stable.
At that time, the unit not only guaranteed you food, but also a house to live in many cases. At that time, the houses were good and cheap, and many units would also issue welfare housing, so there was no need to worry about the problem of soaring housing prices later.
And, at that time, people valued the character, not how many houses you had or whether your car was a luxury car. As long as the personalities are compatible, the two of them can talk, and the others are floating clouds.
When this generation comes of age, just in time for the reform and opening up, the country has begun to vigorously develop the economy, whether they enter the system or engage in private enterprises, there are many opportunities, and there are opportunities to make money everywhere.
The stock market and housing market have risen again and again, and many people have made their first pot of gold because of this. It's not just financial good luck. This generation has also caught up with the development of the information society, and they have not only inherited traditional wisdom, but also been able to get in touch with the outside world, learn new knowledge, and try new things.
They are the beneficiaries of reform and opening up in the true sense of the word. From childhood to adulthood, from study to work, from marriage to buying a house, which one is not on the cusp?
Of course, some people say that the life of this generation is too dull, without the excitement and controversy of today's young people, but isn't this bland happiness just that? Not only have they enjoyed the country's transformation from poverty to prosperity, but their life trajectory has almost always been smooth and smooth with the blessing of national policies. Such luck is indeed rare to come by.
