Today, when we are sitting in a spacious and bright modern classroom to learn knowledge, have you ever wondered what makes us sit here? When we are sitting on the sofa and eating snacks while watching TV, have you ever wondered what makes us have such a rich life? When we walk on the wide and flat road and look at the tall buildings along the roadside, have you ever wondered what makes our city so beautiful? Yes, all this is the result of reform and opening up! However, have you ever wondered what people's lives were like 30 years ago? According to my mother, before the reform and opening up, she was in primary school. At that time, the conditions in the school were so poor that there were no desks. In class, students sat on the ground or rode on a big stone casually and wrote on the small bench they brought from home. I think it's incredible. At that time, were they too poor to even afford a desk? Mom said that at that time, our country was very backward, the technology was underdeveloped, and the productivity was low. The products produced could not meet people's needs, and even if they could afford them, they were not sold. Moreover, even if they could buy things, they had to buy them by ticket. This was the planned economy period when our country did not have reform and opening up. Mom said that in order to solve the "desk problem", the principals of their schools went to other schools to learn from them. Let's see how people solved the problem of desks. It turned out that they made their own desks out of mud. After the principal came back, he drew a sketch himself, and then mobilized all the teachers and students to make a table out of the inexhaustible soil and wheat bran in the countryside and dry it in the sun, which turned it into a brand-new desk. However, the mud table was dirty and not strong. After a period of time, less arms and legs fell off, and the classroom was in a mess. Mom also said that when she was a child, she liked to eat candy, but candy was too rare for a rural child at that time. Once, my grandfather gave my mother a few bitter is sweet, and my mother couldn't bear to eat it all at once, so she peeled off the candy paper, licked it with her tongue a few times, and then wrapped it up. After a while, she wanted to eat candy and then took it out for a lick. In this way, a few bitter is sweet could be eaten for a long time. These two stories made me feel deeply. There are no street lamps. People live in low-rise earthen houses and wear patched rags, and they can't eat meat a few times a year. Think about our happy life today, it has really changed earth-shaking. Reform and opening up have made our life change with each passing day! Look, today's school has neat and bright teaching buildings, spacious classrooms, neat tables and chairs, advanced laboratories, audio-visual classrooms and computer rooms. Looking at urban and rural construction, not only are there shopping malls next to each other in the city, but there are also supermarkets in the countryside; Our third ring road has been completed and opened to traffic, and the "village-to-village communication project" makes rural traffic like cities; Power plants and coal mines have been put into operation, and the development zone is full of factories, including woolen sweater factories, food factories, large furniture factories and electrical appliances factories ... Of course, people will no longer use mud desks and candy, and it is no longer a rare thing. Listen, the news of medical reform is being broadcast on TV, and the government wants everyone to be able to afford it, but this was unthinkable 30 years ago. It is the reform and opening up that has changed our lives. It has spread all over the north and south of the motherland, bringing prosperity and prosperity to the motherland and the people. We should love our motherland, love the China Communist Party, support reform and opening up, study hard, make progress, make the people richer and make the motherland stronger!
