This flashlight may seem bulky, but in the old days, it was an indispensable item in the home.

Tape recorder, for many post-90s generations, may have seen it when they were young, in my grandmother's house, there is still a tape recorder on the table.

The old-fashioned sewing machine, which was still in a relatively poor era in the past, has a saying called "three years of new, three years of old, and another three years of sewing and mending".

Black-and-white televisions. At that time, there was not much entertainment, but it wasn't until later that there was a black-and-white TV set, and that kind of joy, as a modern child, really can't be experienced.
It can be said that since the advent of black-and-white televisions, the talents of that era really had their own spiritual life.
Every time it is time to get out of school, children will sit around the TV, watching their favorite cartoons, although the black and white TV is slightly worse in picture quality, and sometimes the signal may be bad, but the family sits together, that is happiness.
When there were no electric lights and cannons, the kerosene lamps played a great role in lighting the home, and when night fell, the children would always sit in front of the kerosene lamps, writing the homework assigned by the teacher during the day, and sometimes when the sun was about to rise, they could always see their mothers, sewing clothes for the children with kerosene lamps.
In the era when there were no electric lights, people's lives were always full of inconveniences, but at the same time, kerosene lamps were also unique memories of children in that era, and at the same time, it also witnessed the hardships and difficulties of people's lives in that era.
For those who are almost 50 years old, they often think back to things like when they were young, such as queuing up with their mothers to receive food stamps and stamps.

For some people who miss the old, they only like the enamel supplies of that era, because in that era, they carried too many memories and too much beauty.
In the days when there were no old telephones, people often fantasized about "upstairs and downstairs, electric light telephones", but just a few years later, around the 70s, although not every household had them, this wish was basically realized.
At that time, the telephone was not as advanced as it is now, it needed to be hand-cranked, and once connected, it also needed to be transferred by the operator, which was still a little troublesome to say.
Nowadays, not only telephones, but now wireless communication has also been realized, and surfing the Internet, watching TV, and shopping can be carried out on mobile phones, which was unimaginable for people in the past. I really sigh that we were born in a good era.
Nowadays, most people who buy matchboxes generally need to light cigarettes for nostalgia, but in the past era, matches were an indispensable object in daily life, such as cooking in the countryside, which needed to light firewood to make a fire.

Seeing the past New Year's paintings, do you recall memories of your childhood?
Now the flavor of the New Year can be said to be more and more indifferent, but back to a few decades ago, the flavor of the New Year at that time was very strong, such as every year during the New Year, I would follow my mother to the market, although it was said that the days at that time were not rich, but full of happiness.
Every year on the night before the New Year, that time is the most exciting time for the children, paste New Year's pictures, wear new clothes, and the mother will make a lot of food at night, maybe the children now, do not have such a feeling, after all, at that time, a lot of delicious food, only during the New Year, can be tasted.
The army carries a schoolbag, presumably the children of today have never seen it.

In modern society, handwritten letters have long been eliminated and replaced by mobile phone communication equipment, if you still have some handwritten letters stored in your home, it must be antique.
At that time, there were relatively few entertainment activities, so every time I got off work, both adults and children held a children's book in their hands and read with relish. There are also many types of children's books, some of which are Chinese classics, and some are stories of characters.
At that time, almost all the students who came from the classroom peeked at the children's books, but if they were caught by the teacher, the children's books would definitely be confiscated or torn up by the teacher on the spot.
At that time, these children may be over half a hundred years old now, but when I think about it again, do you feel that I was very naïve at that time?
Bellows is something that every household in the countryside used to have, and it is also very convenient to use it to boil water to cook a meal. However, the bellows also have a headache, that is, if there is a problem with the piston inside, it will cause the wind to decrease, and then there will be no air out.
Maybe today's children have never seen the bellows, but you often see such a scene in TV dramas, a woman pulling the bellows at the bottom, while pulling, choking enough by the smoke around her, seeing this situation, most of the cases, it may be that there is a problem with the piston, however, this may also be the need of the plot.
Some of these old objects have disappeared from our field of vision, but for those in the past, seeing them again, they are precious memories, after all, these were once part of their lives.
The existence of old objects can be said to be the product of an era, spirit and material, and it has also witnessed the changes in the development of science and technology.
The old objects are also reminding us all that the progress of the times is not achieved overnight, but through everyone's efforts, the last step by step, slowly towards success, there is a saying: labor produces wisdom, a lot of objects used in our daily life, are summarized from labor, and finally invented and created.
