Ten years later.
Time flies, and the days pass quickly.
It feels like 1972 was just yesterday, and now we've already entered the bustling 1980s. Every household has undergone some changes, not too big, not too small.
Firstly, it's the policies. These years, the changes in policies have been enormous.
A major shift occurred in 1976 when the Red Armbands seemingly disappeared overnight. People no longer had to fear saying the wrong thing, and the emphasis on class background wasn't as pronounced. In 1977, the college entrance exam was reinstated, giving many children hope. When the announcement was made, fireworks were set off every day in their neighborhood. By 1979, the reform and opening-up policies had led to an increase in small merchants and hawkers. Although these changes didn't directly affect everyone, they were closely tied to the lives of ordinary people. They could genuinely feel the rapid changes outside.
