Rebirth of the New Farmers in the 1980s

Some sensitive words may have been deleted in the talk about the work yesterday, I edited it and posted it here today.

—————————————————————————————

I've been wanting to say something for days, but I just don't know what to say.

In this book, through the author's own memory and the collective memories of people over 50 years old in the neighborhood, the author has faithfully restored the life scenes in the northern countryside after 80 years.

If you have not experienced that era, if you read the author's book and add a little imagination of your own, you can basically understand the local conditions and customs of the north in the 1980s in a relatively one-sided manner.

The day before yesterday, a brother complained that the author wrote about trivial matters.

Others complained about the war.

I think the person complaining about this should not be his peers. He didn't understand what the society was like at that time.

Let's talk about trivial matters first. The protagonist is set to be thirteen years old in 1980. The most important point is that he is a farmer.

The small farmers described in this book by the author are not the kind of small farmers who mainly focus on pornography, and it is not that the author cannot write that kind of work, mainly because of the policy environment.

If allowed, the author can write works that are absolutely not inferior to the works of those famous erotic peasants.

In the 1980s, the rural areas in the north were not opened up at all. The only change was that the tail of capitalism was not cut off, and farmers were allowed to sell their own agricultural products.

As for making waves in the stock market, setting up factories in cities, and calling the shots in the financial market, that will have to wait! That was more than ten years later.

In that environment, a thirteen-year-old farmer can only do trivial things. If he wants to do something earth-shattering, it will take at least seven or eight years.

Even the trivial things that the protagonist does now were shameless at the time.

In the north, at least eight or five years ago, doing business was cast aside by most people, and it was considered a symbol of not doing business properly and not being wanted by a unit. At that time, doing business was basically classified as a gangster.

Especially in rural areas, this concept did not begin to change until around 1988.

Therefore, trivial matters were not easy to dry at that time. What the protagonist can do is trivial, and he can only accumulate his own primitive savings in trivial matters.

Having finished talking about trivial matters, let's talk about the war.

Before 1983, there were a lot of things in society. If you don't believe it, you can refer to Baidu's famous rectification in 1983.

The folk customs of the northerners themselves are relatively sturdy, and there are many things that can be done without quarreling. Coupled with the current situation at the time, fighting is not a big deal at all.

I dare not say that I can see it every day, but it is definitely commonplace to see a battle every other day.

Don't think that when people were poor, they didn't have the energy to fight.

At that time, the entertainment in rural areas was basically watching movies, especially in summer, sometimes several movies were shown at the same time within a radius of tens of miles.

It's not normal to watch a movie without a fight or two happening.

The only good thing is that people at that time used fists as their hands, basically without tools. Therefore, although wars were common, there were no casualties, at most they were just bruised and swollen.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the country underwent the most severe rectification in 1983.

Although the atmosphere has been greatly improved after this rectification, it remains the same in some remote places in the north.

Eighty percent of the things in this book are experienced by the author, except for some bragging scenes.

Almost all the characters appearing in the book are real and have had various intersections with the author, but they just changed their names.

For example, the current heroine Luan Feng, I changed her name but her nickname remained the same. In the 1980s, she took the author to dig out bird nests from trees, steal melons in the dark, fight with people while watching movies, and irrigate the author while bathing in the river in summer. These are all things she did in real life. matter.

Even a lot of ambiguous things happened.

All of this really happened, but the author really had no experience with feelings at that time, like a fool, let alone me at that time, most people probably have a virtue at the age of thirteen.

Stuff like the two squeezed words I wrote in the book actually exists.

It wasn't until my high school years that I understood some of the mysteries.

It's just that when I saw her again later, she thought she was a woman and a mother...

The author hopes to show people who have not experienced that era a picture of the northern customs of that era through his own personal experience, and restore that era and its changes from some trivial matters.

The author also hopes that readers can follow the author's pen into the society at the time of reform and development, and experience the turmoil at that time.

For the time being, the data of this book is extremely mediocre, and the collection is less than 600. I hope more people will support this book.
