There is an ancient custom in western civilization: before laying the foundation stone for major events or important buildings, some items, such as grains, newspapers and coins, are buried to convey some information to the uncertain future. Later, the concept of buried objects was expanded, and objects representing human knowledge and achievements would also be buried underground, leaving them to be opened after a thousand years.
The form of time capsule first appeared in ancient Egypt and Babylon, and was usually placed on the cornerstone of the building at that time. Many temples in ancient Egypt and Babylon have stone tablets and sculptures to record the burial process.
The most famous time capsule was 1939 buried on the eve of the new york World Expo. There are different metals, seeds, fabrics, electric razors, telephones, Cupid dolls, Marlboro cigarettes and other daily necessities, various books, magazines, pictures and microfilms, as well as a letter written by Einstein to future generations. The site is buried in a granite cave with a depth of15m under the Flushing lawn of the new york World Expo venue, and the ground stone tablet indicates that it will not open for 5,000 years. At the end of the letter, he wrote: "I believe that our future generations should read these lines with superiority." Since then, the "time capsule" has become attached to the World Expo.
A large number of enterprises, celebrities and ordinary people also make and buy time capsules to store and bury various items related to time commemoration and future wishes, and hold related ceremonies. As an oriental nation with the most emotional personality, China has long accepted this trend. For example, 20 18, a well-known domestic software company, wrote a letter to its employees 30 years later on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the group, put it in a capsule and buried it in the software park of the group.

The time capsule buried 22 years ago allowed six girls to cross back in one second 1997.
Because of the time capsule, six little girls in Britain experienced the feeling of traveling through time and space. 1997, they put some things in an iron jar and buried this "time capsule"; Now, they dug it out, and the contents brought them laughter and screams.
1997 In the same school in Helsby, Cheshire, northeast England, seven girls were good friends. They were 15 years old and in grade 10. Graduation is coming soon. In order to preserve the memory of friendship, they buried a "time capsule" in the mountains of Helsby, which contained souvenirs they wanted to keep. They agreed to open it five years later or 10 years later.
Time flies. After graduating from junior high school, the girls went their separate ways and kept out of touch with each other. Now, Emma Peggy, one of the seven girls, has decided to contact her former friends and look for a "time capsule" that should have been opened long ago.
Emma contacted Gemma Lynch, Thain McGregor, Gemma Albistone, Gemma Lavschi and Katie Wayne through Facebook, but one of their friends named Carmel didn't get in touch. The girls in those days are now middle-aged women aged 37. They went up the hill with shovels and metal detectors.
Although 22 years have passed, they still easily found the "treasure" of that year. After all, that's where they often go after school every Friday. Twenty minutes later, when the cylinder was found, six people screamed with excitement. "At that moment, I got goose bumps all over." Emma said. Gemma Lynch said, "We dug down half a meter and the shovel hit something. We couldn't help screaming and couldn't believe we found it. "
They took the "time capsule" back to their parents' home near Thain, opened a bottle of wine and began to unpack. The content in it immediately took them back to the 1990s: there was a poster of Peter Andre, an Australian male singer born in Britain, who was all the rage in the middle and late 1990s and is now in the fifth grade; At that time, they often read a women's magazine with a picture of British model Holly Willoughby on the cover. Holly was only fifteen or sixteen, and she was a fashion model. The girls also ingeniously sprayed their favorite perfume in the book. "1997 I have used both perfumes." Lynch said. They also put snacks, chewing gum and bracelets representing friendship in it.
The most surprising thing is that the girls wrote some small notes to predict each other's future life, which wrote what career they would be engaged in and what kind of men they would meet in the future. Many predictions have come true.
The girls predict that Emma and Gemma Lynch will be teachers in the future. They are both teachers now: Emma is a primary school teacher and Lynch is now a kindergarten teacher. They have been engaged in this job for 13 years. "It is surprising that the prediction is so accurate." She said.
To Lynch's surprise, she will get married next week: "There is a photo of my friend wearing a wedding dress in the time capsule, which is similar to what I will wear when I get married."
Gemma Albistone loved small animals at that time, so the girls thought she would work with animals in the future. That's right. Albistone is now a dog beautician.
On a small piece of paper, someone wrote: "I can see Thain walking around in a skirt and glasses." She will become a businesswoman. " Thain is not a businesswoman now, but she is indeed a white-collar worker in the workplace.
"These things make people feel the changes of time. I suddenly remembered us in those days. When we are not in the same class, we will write short messages and small notes to each other. " Emma said, "Now everything is on social media. People don't write letters or print photos. "
Lynch said: "This is a day full of nostalgia, love and laughter. We had a wonderful afternoon and recalled the past days together. "

Today's pop music: Is listening to Fish Leong's songs fifty years later as nostalgic as listening to Teresa Teng's songs today?

Highlights of social hot words: Hot words reflect social customs and also reflect the sense of humor of the times. When hot words are no longer popular, maybe the times have changed, maybe the culture has changed, and maybe all of you and me in Qian Qian have changed.

Although I don't know how far literature can accompany mankind under the impact of modernization, I believe that good words have a good soul and can touch people's hearts no matter what age.
