We are happy. We are very lucky because we can span two centuries; we are lucky because we saw the Olympic Games successfully held in China in 2008; and we are happy because we feel that the thirty years of reform and opening up have brought us

Great material and spiritual changes came.

Listen to what the old people say: In December 1978, the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was successfully held, ushering in a new historical period of reform and opening up.

Thirty years can be said to be a blink of an eye!

The national economy has developed rapidly in the past thirty years, and our living, working and learning conditions have also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past thirty years.

I often ask my mother out of curiosity: What was your previous life like?

How many times do you eat meat a week?

How many times a year can I wear new clothes?

And what was your previous school like?

...My mother was annoyed by my questions, so she told me about her childhood.

"Wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year" is a childhood expectation. In normal times, I can only wear clothes that my sister can't wear, because the cloth for making clothes can only be bought with cloth tickets, so I have to make reasonable arrangements with a plan.

It's not like I have to buy new clothes every season and choose the styles I like.

Now there are different dishes on the dining table every day. Today we have fish, tomorrow we have meat, and the table is full of dishes. I pouted and said, there is nothing delicious.

You know, when my mother was a child, she was considered happy if she could eat meat once a week. Although she could buy meat with meat coupons every month, she had to be financially able.

Not to mention snacks.

I have a pack of plum slices bought for one cent in my hand and I can't bear to eat them. I don't even dare to show them to my brothers and sisters, for fear that they will take away my delicious food.

Nowadays, if I want to eat KFC, McDonald's, chocolate, etc., I just need to ask my parents, and they will satisfy me immediately and let me enjoy it.

When my mother was a child, there were no household appliances at home, only a small radio that accompanied her growing up.

Televisions and refrigerators are high-end products that are out of reach.

If someone buys a TV, they will be envious and look forward to going to his house to watch TV for a while after dark.

When my mother was a child, she went to school. The desks in the classroom were made of wood and the chairs were made of iron.

There is no music classroom for music class. The teacher plays the organ and teaches us to sing in the auditorium.

Today we sit in spacious and clean classrooms, absorbing the knowledge imparted to us by every teacher, running happily on the plastic track, and typing briskly on the keyboard in the computer room... The rapid changes in the past thirty years have made us

Great improvements have been made both mentally and materially.

Living in this happy era requires us to cherish it twice as much. I must study harder and when I grow up, I will do my best to make our country more prosperous and stronger and our life better!
