What was life like in the sixties, seventies and eighties? I am 40 years old. After reading all the answers, first of all: make a simple discussion on the memory before liberation. In that evil old society, people went against the sky and were deeply humiliated, naked, and did not eat or drink. Most of them are poor. Only landlords have a good life, short-term workers are poor, they live in thatched huts, with a thin tent wall (made of sorghum and oranges), more than 99% of them are illiterate and beggars, and people are starving everywhere ... After 49 years of liberation, under the correct leadership of the Party and Chairman Mao, one step at a time. At that time, I felt happy when I watched local movies (the leather man didn't talk). In another five or three years, I can go to the army barracks to watch black and white movies. Farmers have their own fields, and then help each other, cooperate with each other, and gradually improve. Generally speaking, society is progressing, illiteracy has been eliminated and most people are literate. The longer and higher the flowers are, the better people's lives were before liberation. After tearing down three mountains, people are getting better and better, at least they have a fixed life. Because of their poor foundation, they started from scratch and society is advancing. Since the people's commune was founded, people's lives have changed a lot, but the lives of a few people with less labor and more children are a little tight. Most of them are full, especially after the commune. They have a canteen. They have enough food. They eat some dishes with a particularly large appetite, improve their lives on holidays, kill pigs and share dishes such as meat, fish, lotus root peanuts and sugar, and have reading rooms, stadiums, kindergartens, nursing homes, communes and theaters to listen to big plays. I only registered in the hospital twice when I was sick, and the medical expenses were all encouragement. Farmers live a life of enthusiasm, foreign interests, freedom, equality, happiness and security, unity and mutual learning. It was really good at that time, not like some people said!
