◆ Changing Contrast: Our Age of Birth
I heard my mother say that when they were children, everything was in limited supply and everything had to be purchased with a "ticket": cooking oil required a "ticket" , eggs require "tickets", poultry requires "tickets", buying cloth also requires "tickets", even matches and soap require "tickets". In that era when tickets were flying everywhere, we were also in an era of material shortages. My mother said that at that time, only during the Spring Festival, people could buy a chicken with a ticket and enjoy themselves.
I was born in 1999. The year I was born was the era when the market was gradually opening up. All kinds of commodities on the market began to gradually open up, and "bargaining" commodities appeared. My mother said that at that time, I would no longer have to look at the "ticket" when eating eggs.
Look at the births of our children now: maternal and infant wards, mothers’ salons, there are thousands of kinds of diapers and milk powder alone. There are also advertisements for baby products all over the streets and on the screens, so overwhelming that they can truly be called everything!
◆ Changing Contrast: Our Childhood
My parents spent their childhood in alleys and countryside, playing marbles, cigarettes, hopscotch..., they The so-called toys in my hands are all items made from local materials, such as wild rice shells, wooden sticks, chalk, etc. A rag doll is a very luxurious toy.
It was different when I was a child. Although it was the early days of reform and opening up in the 1980s, the toys in the stores had already begun to become more abundant. All the rag dolls were replaced by those with yellow hair and blue eyes. Dolls, I still remember that I had a set of auscultation toys that simulated doctors, and I still have them intact.
Look at today, 30 years after the reform and opening up. Not to mention dolls, there are more than thousands of Barbies alone. There are also endless types of electronic games and intellectual toys that children all have. They are all toy masters and electronic strongmen. Their childhood was a high-tech era that kept pace with the world.
◆ Changing Contrast: Our Journey to School
When we enter the schooling era, mothers have to jump in the queue to settle down, go to the mountains and go to the countryside, and their good schooling time is cultivated by their unskilled Actions replaced.
In our age of only children, we are the lucky generation after the reform and opening up. The college entrance examination is no longer a single-plank bridge, and the diversified paths of study have opened up a bright road for us.
Today in 2009, 30 years after the reform and opening up, we have a multi-level and multi-faceted school choice, ranging from kindergartens, primary schools, and middle schools to universities and overseas study. Eye.
◆ Contrast in Change: Our Working Years
When we started working, our parents’ jobs at that time were all assigned by the state. There was no question of whether they liked it or not, whether they were good at it or not. You have to go wherever you are assigned.
Today in 2008, not only does career selection require competition, but in every position we hold, both employees and leaders have introduced a competitive recruitment system, which is to keep the most suitable people in the most suitable positions. That is to maximize everyone’s strengths and strengths.

Since the reform and opening up, our motherland has undergone earth-shaking changes. I remember my parents once talked about their childhood life. In the past, people needed various stamps to buy things, such as meat stamps, food stamps, oil stamps, cloth stamps, etc. Eggs were supplied in limited quantities to each household. Nowadays, there are many kinds of commodities. , the supply is sufficient, people only need to swipe their cards, and their living standards have significantly improved. All the damp bungalows in the past have been demolished, leaving only some quaint courtyards for people to visit. What is unfolding before our eyes is a brand-new society, with buildings rising from the ground and buildings reaching into the blue sky. Standing on the top floor and looking around, you can see wide and flat asphalt roads crisscrossing the area, lined with trees and lined with squares and parks.
We who live in the capital are very lucky to welcome the 29th Olympic Games, which is the first time held by our motherland. We once had zero gold medals and now we are number one on the gold medal list. No one dares to laugh at us as the sick men of East Asia. The successful launch of the "Shenzhou 5" spacecraft made China the third country in the world capable of sending astronauts into space. "Shenzhou 6" made another triumphant return, which also showed the progress of the motherland's aerospace technology. "Shenzhou "No. 7" finally achieved space departure, and the five-star red flag flew in outer space for the first time. The completion of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station and the opening of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway have demonstrated the tremendous changes in the motherland, demonstrated the national prestige, and enhanced China's international status.
------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
On October 1, 1949, at Tiananmen Square in Beijing, the capital of the motherland, Chairman Mao announced An exciting news - the People's Republic of China was founded! The Chinese people have stood up again! At that moment, the Chinese people finally gained their freedom. But at that time, China's technology was not very developed. The country is relatively poor, let alone urban development.
In the blink of an eye, our motherland is approaching her 60th birthday. In these 60 years, our motherland has undergone earth-shaking changes, and our lives have also undergone many changes.
What used to be a muddy path has now become a wide and large asphalt road, with vehicles constantly shuttling on it. The city is full of high-rise buildings, flashing in neon red, really like giants guarding the city. In the past, rural children could not afford to read, but now they are swimming in a sea of ??books in spacious and bright classrooms. Nowadays, clothes are all kinds and colorful, and we know how to match them no matter how fashionable they are. In the past, very few people had household appliances such as TVs, refrigerators, and mobile phones. Now, it seems that no one in our family does not have these things...
The technology of the motherland is also developing rapidly! For example: We no longer need to send messages through letters. Instead, we can send text, pictures, and sounds to all parts of the world in an instant through the Internet. In 2003, the 'Shenzhou 5' successfully launched into space and achieved the first manned mission. In 2005, the 'Shenzhou 5' launched again with manned missions and returned successfully. In 2008, the 'Chang'e 1' lunar exploration satellite was also successfully launched and achieved the first manned mission in Yanhuang. Descendants have dreamed of flying to the moon for thousands of years. In 2008, Beijing, China, successfully hosted the Olympic Games again. The opening ceremony was so spectacular! Let people all over the world admire China.
Everyone knows about the World Expo that will be held in Shanghai in 2010! There will be many foreign guests coming to Shanghai. They will see how impressive our urban construction in Shanghai is. They will definitely feel that coming to Shanghai is like walking into a big garden. They will also be as energetic as the people of Shanghai. So, let us use practical actions to leave a deep impression on the guests coming from afar! Let them see the tremendous changes we have made in the past 30 years and how prosperous our motherland is!
When school is over, I will see some people driving on the road who will stop and smile and let us children go first. It makes me feel how much the adults in the entire society care and love the growth of our children! On the way home, my neighbor would smile at me when she met me, and I would say hello to her... Probably just such a word, such a smile, can make the people around us live more harmoniously and harmoniously. I think people across the country are working hard to create a harmonious society.

Road
As a member of the great motherland, I am also deeply I feel the impact of the changes in my motherland. Although my family lives in a rural area, I am deeply touched by the changes in my hometown.
When I was a child, I loved going to the market because it was lively and had all kinds of strange products. However, the road to the market was very bad, full of potholes and pebbles, and it was really bumpy to walk on.
At that time, I really liked and longed to go to the county town because of the roads there! The road surface is smooth and clean asphalt. How I wished that such a road could be built in my home, but at that time, it was just a small wish of mine. So, I was even a little caught off guard when she actually realized it a few years later!
Transportation
In the 1980s, in rural areas, if a family had a bicycle, they were considered rich, and if they could ride a motorcycle, they were even richer. . Therefore, people have never thought about cars, and bicycles have become people's main means of transportation. However, today in the 21st century, bicycles have become a rare item, replaced by motorcycles, cars, etc.
With the modernization of transportation, planes, trains, and cars are everywhere, which is very convenient and fast. The subway is the most convenient, fastest and cheapest means of transportation in modern cities. However, due to high cost, it cannot be popularized in every city. However, taxis are a major means of transportation in modern cities. With their fast, flexible and convenient characteristics, they have become the first choice for many consumers when traveling.
Food Culture
When it comes to diet, it is an issue that every one of us is very concerned about. And food culture has become the focus of discussion in today's society. When I was a child, I certainly didn’t know much about food, and my family lived in poverty at that time. Being greedy and ignorant, I only wanted delicious food, and just because of this, I made a joke. One day, an ice cream seller came to the village. I wanted to eat it but my family had no money. So, I actually took a shoe and wanted to exchange it with that person for ice cream... For a while, I even had an abnormal idea, because I found that my parents would buy me delicious food whenever I was sick. . So I just hope that I can get sick so that I can get what I want to eat. Thinking about it now, maybe the living standards at that time could not meet people's basic needs.
In modern society, food is not only a culture, but also a state of mind. Nowadays, the dining environment has become one of the conditions for consumers to enjoy delicious food.
In short, our great motherland has experienced tremendous changes from its founding to development to the present. In the new century and new stage, our country's strategic goal in economic and social development is to consolidate and develop the moderately prosperous level that has been initially achieved. By the centenary of the founding of the Party, a higher-level moderately prosperous society benefiting more than one billion people will be built; by the centenary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, per capita GDP will reach the level of moderately developed countries, and modernization will be basically achieved.
Sixty years, glorious years in the command room. Over the past sixty years, China has undergone tremendous changes. In 2009, our great motherland celebrated her 60th birthday.
