This is true.
in 1971, there were eight people in my family, and I went down to work alone in the mine. My salary was 46 yuan, plus 12 yuan and into the pit's fee, and 6 yuan's night shift allowance, totaling 64 yuan, to support my family of eight people.
that society is good. At that time, my five younger brothers and sisters went to school, and because their families were poor, all of them were exempted from tuition fees. The teacher and the students paid for the books together. Book fee: buy your own big white paper to order a book, and then write it when the front is finished.
The grain you eat is 2 kg of white flour per person per month, with a price of 1.8 cents per kg, and the rice is 2 kg per person per month, with a price of 1.4 cents per kg. The rest is rice noodles, 6 cents per catty. My family is in difficulty and can't afford to buy flour and rice. I'll exchange a catty of flour and rice for a catty of rice noodles.
the clothes you wear are big and small, and you can wear them for the small ones.
but at that time, every family was like this, and there was not much difference. I didn't feel so difficult. If compared with now, it is really the difference between heaven and earth.
It's true. Some families live in poverty with less than 1 yuan a month. No one laughs at them, and no one is robbed. Everyone is devoted to patriotism and is in full swing for building the country!
This is impossible. My personal experience tells you.
in March, 1959, I was born in an ordinary state-owned enterprise worker's family in Hengyang, Hunan province. The whole family has parents, an elder sister, a younger brother and me. My father works as a clerk in the unit with a monthly salary of 7 yuan. My mother has no formal job and works as a temporary worker outside, earning about 4 yuan every month.
At that time, parents' monthly income was around 11 yuan. The life of a family of five people, on average, is about 2 yuan per person per month, which was passable in that year. Although not rich, basic food and clothing are still guaranteed. Specifically, you can eat three meals a day, and you often have fish to eat. There will be a table with seven or eight dishes during the Chinese New Year holiday. In short, I have never been hungry. Clothes can also be warm, and several new clothes can be made every year, including cotton-padded clothes and shoes, which have not been frozen.
But that's it. Before I was eighteen, I didn't wear a sweater, shoes or a bike. In a word, there is nothing valuable at home and on me.
if a family is only 1 yuan a month, it must be down and out, and they have eaten every meal and are naked. I have a neighbor, whose father earns a salary of 57 yuan, whose wife has no income and has four children. Life is quite difficult.
This sentence is unclear. How many people are there in a family? In the 197s, there were many children in a large family, and there were elderly people. There were a dozen people in a family, six or seven in a medium-sized family, five or six in a family, two or three in a family, and a widowed and lonely family with one person, which could not be generalized. If you are in the countryside, 1 yuan is enough for small and large households, and it is still a good household. Poor people don't even have three or two dollars. As for salt to buy vinegar, they have to wait for money behind the chicken's ass. Ten dollars is definitely not enough for city people. City people live a good life and spend a lot of money, such as chicken, fish, eggs, rice, rape, etc. Therefore, in ordinary families, rural people live a rich life, and city people are stretched. In a word, this question is too general to answer.
Your mother always keeps saying that "in the 197s, a family only needed 1 yuan's living expenses for a month", which is wrong! I lived in the 197s, and it should be said that "in the 197s, each family only needed 1 yuan's living expenses for a month". Although it is only two words short, it is wrong to lack the concept of average!
when we go out to eat, we will find that eating alone will be lonely, and it is not easy to order food. Of course, lunch is not included. If two people are together, one meat, one vegetable and two meals, and one soup can be added, the family life will be the same. In the 197s, the average family, mostly 3-5 children, ate simply and wore big clothes for small ones. At that time, the average living expenses were 1 yuan per person per month, although it was not plentiful.
In the 197s, a family only needed 1 yuan's living expenses for a month, which was quite good. At that time, the money was solid, the ticket value was high, and things were very cheap. 1 yuan's money was equivalent to about two or three hundred now. It's easier to get paid at home, but it's more difficult for families with rural hukou. According to the old man, Lai rarely buys pickles, and only on holidays (such as Mid-Autumn Festival or Spring Festival) can you eat some meat to improve your life. White flour steamed bread is rarely eaten, and the usual staple food is generally sweet potato noodles and a small amount of steamed corn flour, such as wowotou, pancakes, wild Lai, leaves and bark.
at that time, life was bitter, but it was very happy and carefree, living and working in peace!
unlikely, unless the whole family doesn't have a formal job. At that time, as soon as the workers entered the factory, they were apprentices, 17 yuan, 31_35 yuan after becoming a full member, and 56 yuan after graduating from college. When I went to college in 1985, my father's salary was 12, and so was my mother. Life is tense. It was a special era. They were paid very low wages and had some benefits, such as free medical care and housing distribution. Of course, it is basically more difficult for ordinary workers to divide their houses than to learn from the West. Life at that time was very hard. People who said that they were good at that time were basically uneducated people. Man's pleasure is to fight and do nothing. Most of the gap with the international community was pulled down at that time. It is the decades that the whole nation has been delayed.
In the city, the average monthly living expenses of everyone can survive in 1 yuan, but it is impossible for the whole family to live in 1 yuan. Ordinary workers earn 71 years' salary, and the salary before wages is 9 in 41 yuan to 5 in 33 yuan. For families with temporary special difficulties, trade unions in large units are eligible to give subsidies to those who are subsidized after mass discussion. Only those whose average household income is less than 1 yuan's. It's still a special case to give it to 1 yuan once, such as an accident at home and being hospitalized ... It doesn't cost much, and it's transferred to the payroll accounting for a little deduction.
is 1 yuan enough for a family of four? I think this family lived in the countryside at that time. In rural families in the 197s, the grain stored at home was not counted as money in that month. In the private plot, some vegetables are planted in the courtyard to eat without counting money. It's not money to raise chickens, lay eggs and eat eggs. I didn't buy new clothes and possessions that month, and I didn't suffer from disaster or illness. Just buy some salt, tobacco, vinegar and other spices, 1 yuan money is definitely enough. However, if all the above things that are not money are counted as money, they will definitely be far more than 1 yuan money. If you live in a town, you have to spend money to buy everything you need, so money is very tight in 1 yuan in January.
To sum up, in the 197s, the living expenses of four people in 1 yuan in January were definitely far from enough, whether in rural or urban areas.
after reading the title, I feel a little nonsense and exaggerated. I've been there before, and I have the right to speak. At that time, money was really used as money, not as expensive as it is now.
to be exact, in the 197s, one person could support a family by working, instead of ten dollars. At that time, the salary was relatively low. The average person's monthly salary was about 3 yuan, and the higher salary was 6 to 7 yuan a month (the standard only for bureau-level or veteran cadres), but the price was low. Meat was only a few cents a catty, vegetables were bought for a lot for a few cents, and three dollars could buy a washbasin egg.
At that time, the living conditions were particularly difficult. Almost every family didn't have enough food to eat by the end of the month. Oil was supplied by ticket, and it was only enough to eat for half a month. Families with poor conditions couldn't eat a meal of meat for a month. Therefore, children are looking forward to the New Year (no matter how poor they are, they will buy some meat and fish for the New Year). At that time, the taste of the New Year was particularly heavy.
At that time, the country had to concentrate on doing great things, so since president, people have lived in poverty. This situation has been gradually improved after the reform and opening up.
At that time, the life was beyond the comprehension of young people now. We old people feel that the prosperity of life now is very different from that of the past (there are also people who lived in the 196s and 197s, especially those who now live at the bottom of society). Today's prosperity is based on the harsh conditions at that time, and without the foundation of the early days of the founding of the People's Republic, it is completely impossible to change it just by one generation.
I think, since Pangu opened the world, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors have reached the present, it is now in the highest and best period of people's living standards. We all know that we go to the market to buy food every day, and we don't know what to buy or what we want to eat. This state has never existed in previous dynasties.
