从1978到2008,整整30年的时间,中国的改革开放取得了巨大的成就,社会面貌和人民生活都发生了翻天覆地的变化。而与中国改革开放同龄的一代也进入了而立之年。他们一出生就遇上了改革开放,遇上了市场经济,与80后相比,他们似乎还保留着更多计划经济的记忆,站在计划经济与市场经济的分水岭上,他们30年的成长经历显然更多地体现出新旧体制交接转换的印记。从他们的记忆片段中,我们更清晰地看到了改革开放30年人民生活的巨大变化。
From 1978 to 2008, in 30 years, China has secured remarkable achievements through reform and opening-up. As a result, great changes have taken place in both the social features and people*s lives. Those born in the 1978 encountered the reform and opening-up as well as the market economy as soon as they came to the world. Compared with those born the 1980s, they seem to have memories of the planned economy in their mind. Standing on the border of the planned economy and the market economy, their 30 years of growth experience can remarkably display the shift from the old to the new social mechanism. From their memories, we can clearly see the great changes that have taken place in people's way of life during China's 30 years of reform and opening-up.

我出生在那个真理标准热烈讨论的年末。1982年,四岁的我在胶南开始了幼儿园生活。那所幼儿园有个奇怪的名字:县托,大概全称应该是胶南县托儿所之类的吧。
王朔的《看上去很美》看过吗?“高高的屋顶,巨大的窗户,分割成一个一个的栅栏小床,睡在门口的阿姨……”真的就是我记忆里的托儿所生活。除了这些,还有贴了医用白胶布的白瓷茶缸,上面写着我的名字,很庆幸爸爸给我起的名字笔画少,我可以在很小的时候轻易地分清哪个杯子是我的。再就是成排的巨大平房和空旷的操场,估计当时人太小,觉得那操场真大,每天跑得我气喘吁吁的。至于吃了什么学了什么,什么印象都没有。为此给爸爸打了个电话,据说,经常吃包子,以至于我这个本来很喜欢吃菜,从不挑食的好孩子被生生地改造成只喝稀饭吃包子还能长肉的小胖子。说这个有点菲薄托儿所的意思,应该也会吃菜和其他面食,只是我没什么印象而已。最喜欢的就是午睡起来以后,阿姨会在门口发给每个小孩两片钙奶饼干。以前钙奶饼干的包装纸能发出很好听的撕裂声,只要听到那个声音,所有的小孩都会加快收拾被褥的速度。拿到饼干大家就会自觉地站在院子里十分仔细地慢慢吃,如果你是一个男孩子,需要强忍住口水,留一块饼干,因为这是造一把手枪的基础材料。那时我们创造了几个不同版本的手机制作流程,具体制作流程如下:简装版:选择一个角,小心翼翼地咬成一个7的样子;改进版:要在7的拐角处留一块,那是扳机;精装版:细心地将枪管上的锯齿咬去(钙奶饼干四周带齿)。只留下枪头一个,那是瞄星。屁股上一个,那是撞针。这可是个技术活,饼干很脆,咬不好就断掉了,不过好在还有一块。如果两个都没咬好,那就抱歉了,没人带你玩,因为一个勇敢的士兵怎么能没有武器?所以,那时的我每天都在作激烈的思想斗争:是要一把简装版,跟在后面当小兵?还是冒险做一把精装的,指挥别人当小兵?在当时这是最让我困惑的。经过了小半年的实践探索,我终于解决了这个问题,先把要去掉的地方“咪溜咪溜”,保证不会断掉,而且小手枪做的那个精致啊,缺点是耗时比较长,但只要我一出手就可以铁定地担任指挥员。小小的虚荣心空前膨胀起来。现在看起来十分不卫生,还挺恶心,但没几天这种方法就被大家学会了,所以,指挥的位置又陷入你争我抢之中。
托儿所除了要看好喂饱每一个孩子之外,还要组织大家学习。我可以肯定当时学过写阿拉伯数字,照葫芦画瓢一直用两个圆圈摞起来当8,拼音绝对没教,上小学那一顿好背啊。
当时托儿所里配了一台风琴,就是那种貌似钢琴、但要脚踏的那种,它“住”在一个单独的房间里。在我长达3年的托儿所生活中,只有幸见到它一面,好像上面来检查,所有的小孩要穿白色的兜兜,倒背着手坐在那个教室里,唱一首本不用风琴伴奏的歌。清楚地记得那天阳光不错,我觉得胸前绣的那个向日葵很艳丽……
写的这些发生在1982到1985年,那个时候,胶南只有两条马路。托儿所的门口也没什么接孩子的家长。因为县城就那么大,住的都近,路上也没什么车,一般都是一个家属院的大孩子带大家一起回家。
今年秋天,我3岁的孩子又进了那家托儿所,现在已经更名叫作实验小学幼儿园,成了名副其实的幼儿园小班的小朋友。幼儿园地方没变,但高大的平房变成了两栋连在一起的圆形小楼。送孩子去也没见着连成片的栅栏床,在每个房间划出了类似炕的空间,可怜的孩子再也没有隔着栅栏悄悄说话的乐趣了,他们也再没有大把的时间可以支配。时间被切割成一个个小块,照点上课、照点活动、照点加餐,甚至喝牛奶也有具体的时间。时间就是午觉起来后,两片饼干的时间变成了四点钟,内容也由饼干变成了每天一个花样的西点,但孩子总是不好好吃。每天接他的时候总能看见他坐在那磨叽,虽说客观原因是接他有点早,那也是家长被逼的,晚了,那条街自行车都进不去。一个孩子肯定不止一个家长去接,遇到刮风下雨的天气不用指望车能开得比人走得快。所以现在很多孩子有漂亮的小雨伞,但不一定能用过,也肯定没有放学遇到大雨一路迈沟踏水撒腿狂奔的乐趣。
前段时间送儿子上学遇到了我上大班时的老师,记忆里那个留着最时髦青年头的阿姨已经是这个幼儿园资格最老的员工,据说是负责业务的副院长了。
In 1982, at the age of four, I started my kindergarten life in Jiaonan City. The high ceiling, large windows, small beds isolated by fences, and auntie sleeping by the door* All these are the kindergarten life in my present-day memories. Besides these, I still remember the white porcelain mug on which was pasted a piece of white medical rubberized cloth with my name. After the noon nap, the moment when the auntie issued two pieces of calcium milk biscuit to every kid was my favorite time. At that time, I could bite the biscuits into little gun shapes. Besides caring for and feeding the children, the kindergarten was also responsible for teaching. So I am sure it was in the kindergarten where I learnt to write Arabic numerals.
This autumn, my three-year-old son enrolled in the same kindergarten, which has been renamed as the Kindergarten of the Experimental Primary School. Despite that, the kindergarten is still located at the same place, though the tall house has been turned into two connected round buildings. When I took my child to the kindergarten, I could not see the small beds isolated by fences any more, so the poor children now have no fun in chatting across the fences. They also have not much free time to play with each other. Classes, after-class activities, dining, or drinking milk - detailed schedules are arranged for every activity.
A few days ago, when I took my son to the kindergarten, I met my teacher when I was in the senior class. The fashionable auntie of my memories is now the oldest teacher in the kindergarten.

1978年出生的我,如今30岁了。这30年,我的大部分时间都在小学的教室里度过的。不同的是,23年前我坐在教室里当了6年的小学生,而11年前我成为讲台上的小学教师。
两代人的课堂
常常会在翻看学生们的课本时,回忆起我的小学生时代,那时候的我总是喜欢翻看语文书最前面几页的彩色插图,爱不释手,当时就想:“如果课本都是彩页该多好!”如今这个愿望在我的学生们身上实现了。他们不仅用上了全彩课本,还用上了实物投影仪、电脑和大屏幕液晶电视,老师上课都用电脑操作幻灯课件,动画教学还将书本知识延伸到课本以外。而我们那时只有上公开课时才用投影仪,还是那种需要两个人抬的大黑铁疙瘩。有一次,老师在公开课上讲《将相和》,用了二三十张幻灯片,一排排的幻灯片贯穿着整堂课就像演电影一样让我们如临其境,印象特别深。回忆着那个坐着条凳背着手听课的年代,觉得现在的小学生很幸福,他们都是单人单桌,桌椅腿可以根据身高上下调节,而我们那时用长条桌长条凳,同位之间常常因为桌子不够用而争来争去,桌子凳子上有条“三八线”是常有的事。
记得上小学时,每年冬天的这个时候,都会有煤车把煤拉到学校的操场一角,堆成小煤山。老师会带着我们往教室运煤,那时的校园很热闹,我们拿着从家里带来的编织袋、簸箕、桶、铁锹和铁铲,拼命地装煤、运煤,如果不多储存的话,到冬天的后半段就没得烧了。低年级时是班主任负责生炉子,到了高年级就让同学们轮着生炉子,同位俩一组全班挨着排,负责生炉子的那天就要从家里带几块木头、木屑来生火。现在的小学生们,家里有暖气,教室里有空调,他们也没机会学习生炉子了。
从分分分到多才艺
上世纪80年代的小学生都有一种共同的记忆,那就是“分!分!分!学生的命根!”学习成绩简直是衡量一切的标准。我记得,每次小考,各科老师都会排名次,特别是考完期末考试,教室的墙上甚至是在黑板上贴着跟大字报一样的学生成绩名单,学生的名字顺序是按照各科成绩排的,学习好坏一目了然,学生干部和课代表的选拔也是根据成绩排名定。那时的家长们虽然非常重视孩子的期末考试名次和成绩,但他们平日并不怎么关心孩子们的学习,老师和家长平时几乎没联系,请假也就是家长写个假条让同学捎到学校去,只有期末开家长会的时候老师和家长能交流交流。现在的家长与老师的沟通很频繁,经常打电话、填写家校联系卡,他们也非常紧张孩子们的日常学习,许多学生放学就进托管班,晚上父母还亲自检查作业,有能力的就帮着孩子复习、预习和背诵默写。我们那个年代,很少有家长给孩子报特长班,顶多有个别的同学去学美术或书法,学英语的也非常少。现在的家长非常重视孩子的综合素质教育,孩子们学什么的都有,而且有的学生三四个特长一起学。我很喜欢我的学生,他们天真可爱,也机灵活泼。比我们那时候大方多了,也愿意展示自己。记得我上学时,只有学校里的合唱团、鼓号队可以参加,区里、市里定期会搞个比赛,所以大家会的才艺都不多,搞茶话会也就几个唱歌、跳舞、健美操节目。现在的孩子可厉害了,我们班搞个茶话会有拉小提琴的、拉二胡的、弹古筝的、说快板的、唱美声的、跳古典舞的,就连主持节目的也是专门学过的。现在的小班干部也不像我们那会儿只管收发作业、喊队领操,他们不仅是老师的助手,也经常代表班级和学校参加各种朗诵、作文比赛和才艺展示活动。
小小少年大不同
我也很喜欢看学生们办的黑板报和手抄报,看着那些由他们自己动手搜集材料并设计绘制的小文章、小策划常常让我感慨这个新时代。现在的孩子无论是操作电脑还是上互联网查找资料都得心应手,他们从一年级开始学习英语,而我们那时是从五年级才开始学26个字母,这差距,真的没办法比。我还记得上小学时,数学老师教算盘,先是从1加到10,后来陆续学从1加到100,学完了加减法再学乘除法。那时一到放学,我就跟几个小伙伴儿们一路小跑着回家,那种只有背着算盘奔跑时才会发出的“哗啦哗啦”声让我至今难忘,而现在,我的学生们学的是计算器。
尽管现在的小学生有太多的机会接触新事物和高科技,但他们少了许多童年的乐趣。相比较现在孩子们环境的封闭,我们那时可幸福得多了。打个比方,他们就像是“圈养”的;而我们则像是“散养”的。我们那个年代,住楼房的很少,同学们不是住一个大院就是住一条街,马路上的车也少。那时作业少,放学就写完了,大家就一窝蜂似的到马路上去玩。男同学弹玻璃球、拍烟牌,女同学跳房子、跳皮筋,有时男女同学一起打猫尾、踢大脚。到了六点多大家就各自回家吃饭看动画片,看完了也吃完了,然后再出来玩。我们那时都特别羡慕住得远的同学,因为他们的脖子上都会挂着钥匙,口袋里也会揣着月票和一两块零钱,那个年代,小孩子平时都是不带钱的。
1997年,19岁的我得到了平生的第一笔工资。我记得很清楚,当老师的第一个月我开了340元。我给奶奶买了许多吃的,然后拿200多块钱交了自学考试的报名费,剩下的钱都花在上夜校的交通和晚饭上了。第二个月开始,我就有了60块的奖金。我每个月交给我妈300块,自己留着100块当零用钱。当年虽然赚得少,但总是能存下四分之三。到2004年的时候,工资是以前的好多倍了,但物价也涨了,我每个月能攒下三分之一。后来结婚了,平日里需要花钱的地方也变多了,逢年过节的开支更多,渐渐地也就攒不下钱了。现在有了孩子,我和老公两个人的工资更攒不住钱了。因为即便是两个人都不花钱,那个小家伙躺着都能替我们花钱。
虽然带孩子是件辛苦的事情,但我们很快乐,我希望女儿能快快长大,盼望着她背起小书包那一天的早日到来,那时我就可以牵着她的小手,一起走进校园。
I was born in 1978, so this year I am 30. Over the past 30 years, most of time was spent in the classrooms of primary schools. Twenty-three years ago, I started to sit in the classroom as primary school student. This period lasted for six years. Eleven years ago, I became a primary school teacher.
In retrospect of my primary school decade, I always liked to browse through the color illustrations printed on the front pages of the Chinese textbooks. At that time, I thought: "How wonderful it would be if the entire book had colored pages!" Nowadays, my wish has come true for my students. They not only have color textbooks, but also have overhead projectors, computers and large-screen LCD TVs. When teaching classes, the teachers use courseware on the computer. Such teaching usinganiminated drawings has extented the knowlege found in the textbooks. Air-conditioners are installed in the classrooms. So the students don't need to kindle the heating furnace as we used to do every day.
The primary school students in the 1980s attached great importance to scores, which were regarded as important as their lives. So their academic achievment was almost the only standard to evaluate the whole performance of the students. For every test, the teachers of every course would list the rankings. Especially after the final examination for a semester, when the achievements ranking lists of the students were pasted to the walls or even the blackboards in the classrooms. The students' names were ranked according to their total scores in all their coures.
Nowadays, the parents of the students attach more importance to the things other than the scores, such as their accompolishments and practical ability. Nevertheless, the present-day primary students are not as free as we used to be. There are more and more vehicles on the roads and residences are secluded from each other. So they have fewer and fewer opportunites to play outside their homes.

谈起童年,每个人都有许多或美好或有趣的记忆,即使童年已经远去,这记忆却历久弥新。
街头巷尾的游戏童年
1978年出生的人,好多都是家里惟一的孩子,作为家里的独生子,我的童年却并不孤独。小时候家里住的是爸爸厂里分的职工宿舍房,大院里有好多年龄差不多大的孩子一起玩儿。那个年代的职工宿舍房院子很小,孩子们都是在街上玩耍,倒也不用像现在一样担心来往的车辆,那时侯的街头巷尾其实就是孩子们的游乐场。调皮的我有点像个孩子头,会带领小伙伴们玩各种游戏,打弹珠、拍烟牌、丢沙包、踢毽子、撞拐子、杠老将、捉迷藏……女孩们则会玩跳房子、跳皮筋、过家家等等。孩子们的游戏都各有特色,我们玩的游戏都不带女孩子参加,但当她们玩的时候我们又会去捣乱。天真无邪的童年,天空总是特别蓝,阳光也格外的灿烂,我们每天最盼望的就是和伙伴们一起的游戏时光。
改革开放初期,物质生活水平还不高,没有如今小区里一应俱全的健身器械,连学校里也还不见完善的体育设施,一个简易的乒乓球台往往就能吸引孩子们全部的注意力。那时的游戏都很简单有趣,不需要什么玩具孩子们一样可以玩上很久,打弹珠就是其中很受欢迎的一种。大家在地上划线为界,谁的玻璃珠被打出去就算输,叫做“出纲”;或在地上挖出五个小坑,谁先打完五个洞就变老虎,之后再打到谁的珠子就会被吃掉,这叫“打老虎洞”。还有拍烟牌,也是陪伴度过童年时光的好伙伴。3角钱能买一张16开大印着各式各样小人儿的硬纸,有西游记、变形金刚、三国演义等等好多图案,将它们一张张剪下,可以按图案内容比大小,也可以比看谁能将烟牌拍翻背。不管怎么玩,输了的人都要将自己的烟牌给对方,那样常胜将军手里总会握有厚厚一摞脏乎乎的“战利品”,引来其他孩子羡慕的目光,那种满足感是后来很多年中更大的成功所不能替代的。没有复杂昂贵的玩具,孩子们依然乐在其中,童年的时光因为有了这些游戏的存在似乎永远都不会累,不会无趣。
大庙山公园是孩子们的乐园
在我的记忆里还有一个乐园,那就是大庙山公园,那里有山有水、有花有草,还可以和小伙伴一起去湖边捕鱼。我们用自制的网兜捕鱼,先把石头放下去,让网沉底,然后放上馒头渣,很多鱼就自动游了过来,这时候只要一提网兜,鱼就跑不了了。还记得我们几个小男孩蹲在湖边等待小鱼进入陷阱时是怎么样的专心致志;鱼儿入网时,又是怎样的欢欣鼓舞,小小的游戏凝聚了孩子式的智慧。入网的小鱼中有草鱼也有鲫鱼,虽然小,但数量往往不少,在那个物质还不很丰富的年代,这些鱼就是我们的财富源泉。我们把鱼卖给养热带鱼的人,一分钱一条,通常每次会有五角钱左右的收入。别小看这五角钱,这在那个年代的孩子看来可是一笔可以好好利用的大数目。三角用来坐公园的飞机,一角用来看两次五分一次的画片儿,最后的一角用来买糖稀。就这样,通过捕鱼赚来的五角收入被合理的分配了,每一分都发挥了最大的价值。
零食也疯狂
那个时期每个家庭的收入情况相差不大,孩子们的零用钱也都不多,我每个星期能从妈妈那里领到五角的零用钱。学校门口小摊上各色诱人的小零食,可真是不知不觉花去了馋嘴的孩子们不少的银子。罐子里一颗一颗圆圆的梅子,小袋包装的萝卜丝、无花果丝、甘草杏,泡过糖水的甜甜麦粒,这些都是放学路上必买的小吃,一角钱就能买到不少。还有拥有各式造型小勺子的酸梅粉,可是风靡一时的超级食品,酸梅粉味道酸酸甜甜很好吃,更重要的是那把小勺,因为它的顶部都会有不同时期所流行的卡通人物造型,我那时收集了很多,还会和别的小朋友交换自己所没有的人物,很是有趣。说到这里,就不得不说说记忆里总会出现的叫卖糖稀爷爷推着的小车,那画有龙凤啊,还有十二生肖之类的图案的转盘和飘忽的指针,就像未解的一个迷,混合着糖稀涩涩甜甜的味道出现在每个寻找童年的记忆瞬间里。
小人书和动画片中的多彩世界
在信息还不发达,文化生活还相对单调的上世纪80年代,孩子们想要了解外面的世界除了课本,还有一个重要的渠道就是看小人书,没蹲过小人书摊的童年是不完整的。当时《三国演义》的小人书非常受欢迎,但整套有42册,这让我们零用钱不够多的孩子们望尘莫及,所以几乎是没有谁能拥有全套,于是小伙伴们就会一起去蹲书摊。那时看一本是一分钱,如果遇到实在喜欢的,就用买零食剩下的钱买上几册聊以藉慰。我家的《铁桥三传奇》、《沧州大侠》、《少林寺》就是那时候省钱买的,虽然经过了几次搬家,但这些小人书依旧完好地保存着,现在没事时再翻看还能想起小时候爱不释手的心情。后来几年随着改革开放的步伐加快,电视机进入到了普
通百姓的生活。12寸的黑白电视机是最为普遍的,那时生活条件好些的家庭则会拥有一台彩色电视,每当电视上播放《变形金刚》、《恐龙特级克塞号》等等动画片时,孩子们都会去有彩电的小伙伴家集体观看。那时候我的心愿就是自己家里能拥有一台彩色电视机,能在自己家里看喜欢的动画片。黑白电视机的映像还有小小的心愿陪伴我度过了稚气十足的童年。
如今已经而立之年的我,回忆起童年依旧觉得很快乐,透过回忆,我仿佛通过时光隧道看到了儿时那个天真烂漫的自己。童年,不管过去多久,都将永远占据记忆里最柔软、温馨的部分,回首依旧。作为1978年出生的人我们是幸运的,梦想随着社会的发展与进步慢慢成为了现实。
Taking about childhood, everybody has many good or interesting memories. Even if your childhood has passed away a long time ago, these memories can still remain fresh in your mind. As the single child in my family, I did not feel lonely in my childhood. At that time, we lived in an apartment constructed for the staff of the factory where my dad worked. In the courtyard, I could play with many children at the same age as me. At that time, most of such courtyards were very small, so the children usually played in the streets, which were their amusement resorts. In the early period after the reform and opening-up, the standard of living was still not very high, so there was no fitness equipment, such as is available in the present-day residential quarters. Even in the schools, there were no comprehensive sports facilities. However, the games, despite being simple, were very interesting. Without any toy, the children could get amusement from the games. At that time, there was almost no difference among the families with respect to incomes. It was the same with the pocket money of the children. Every week I could receive five jiao of pocket money from my mom. The vendors by the school gate sold various tempting snacks, which cost a lot of my money. Even nowadays the bitter and sweet tastes of the snacks sometime flash in my mind when I recall my childhood. In the 1980s when information was not developed and the cultural life was relatively monotonous, for us children, besides our textbooks, illustrated books were another important channel to get information about the outside world. Later, with the acceleration of reform and opening-up, television was popularized among the ordinary people. Nowadays, I am 30 years old. However, when recalling my childhood, I still feel very happy. I also feel very lucky to be born in 1978, since my dreams have gradually come true along with our social development and progress.

1996年,我步入了大学,那年,我18岁。
大学让我接触到了一个全新的世界,全新的校园,来自各地的同学以及与中学时代完全不同的学习生活方式,所有的一切都令我感到新鲜、好奇。那时的我们入学时还几乎没有现代化装备,没有电脑,没有手机,没有MP3、MP4,基本就是简单的生活用品与衣物以及书,大多数还是由家长送到学校报到,然后大学生活就真正开始了。
初入校门,生活丰富多彩
大一时,上课比高中少了很多,最重要的是自由了许多,于是同学之间渐渐有了分化,有的仍然延续高中时的学习态度,尤其是对英语的学习;有的则不再把课业看得那么重,开始参加各式各样的社团活动以及学生会活动。大一刚入学时,各种各样的文体社团让人目不暇接,真正让大家体会到了大学生活的丰富多彩。我属于后者,参加了校园生活广播站,参加了交谊舞培训班,参加了校艺术团的曲艺组,在广播站结识了不少才子才女,而且每周的写稿任务和例会都是自己日程当中很重要的安排,并且还一起出去旅游长见识;交谊舞培训班结识了舞蹈爱好者,大家经常在周末的大学生活动中心切磋“舞艺”;而校艺术团则让我结识到了对我的一生都有重要影响的老师和朋友,艺术团的节目编排及登台表演活动也对我个人产生了很大的影响。虽然那时校园生活中没有Internet,没有电子游戏,没有MP3、MP4,但同样十分精彩的校园生活让我一生难忘。
大一到大二时业余时间还有一项重要内容是看小说,不知道现在的大一大二学弟学妹们还看不看书本小说,也不知道看什么样的小说,我们那时无论男生女生必看金庸武侠小说,“飞雪连天射白鹿,笑书神侠倚碧鸳”,许多人一本不落,甚至还看好几次,当然这些小说并不是买来看,那时校园里都会有租书的店,好像是一天2角钱,以天计,女生们还必看的有琼瑶小说,常常一个宿舍人手一本,熄灯后还要打着手电筒或是点着蜡烛看,看到动情之处,眼泪汪汪泣不成声,所以手边还会准备好手绢,或是读完合上书,还沉浸在主人公悲伤的爱情结局中久久不能回到现实中来。当然除了这两大类,世界名著、名人传记以及一些游记也是大家爱读的书。此外,印象深刻的还有《平凡的世界》、《穆斯林的葬礼》以及茅盾文学奖获得者的小说和二月河的清帝系列小说也很受欢迎。因为没有网络,所以这些书都是捧在手中,在闲暇时间来读的,又因为大多时候是租来读,出于经济原因,读书的效率也很高。现在的我除了网页的快速浏览,已经好久没有真正读书,所以也常常怀念大学时读书的情景,尤其是在下雨天,就着窗外淅淅沥沥的雨声,躺在床上手中捧一本书,不知不觉中进入书中的世界,与书中的主人公一起品味五味杂陈的情感,那感觉……深深怀念!
毕业在即,各奔前程
进入大三,学习又被放在了重要的位置,大学时的学习在我的印象中主要是两个方面,一个是英语的学习,一个是专业课的学习。大一大二时通过全国英语四六级考试是每个人的主要目标,而到了大三,专业课程开始了,所以许多同学把心思用在了专业课的学习上。那时因为校园还没有网络,所以也没有Google、百度等方便的获得电子资料的途径,所以主要是泡图书馆查资料,或是买学习资料,在现在这样的电子时代,有时想想当时的情形不禁要产生怀疑,可当时就是这样的,虽然才短短的十年左右,但我们的时代确实发生了太多太大的变化。
大四时工作和前途是每个同学都必须面对的课题,于是也主要分化为两类,一类是制作求职简历四处参加招聘会;一类是似乎又回到高中时代,每天早出晚归上自习复习备战考研。当时我们宿舍八个人,其中有六个人准备考研,于是宿舍人的生活内容又变得相近而统一,每天一起起床,一起吃饭,一起去教室占座位,一起上自习一起复习,再一起晚归,在睡觉前还可以温习一些题目讨论一些复习内容,然后睡觉。所以虽然那段时间紧张而辛苦,却因为有了宿舍姐妹们的陪伴而生动有趣许多。
校园情结,终身难忘
谈到大学生活,不可回避地要谈到爱情。记得一入学,辅导员老师就表明对校园爱情的态度“不支持也不反对”,这让在中学时一直是处在禁止谈恋爱的政策环境中的同学们很是兴奋,而对于爱情,每一位青春年少心中都有着共同的向往与渴望。当时宿舍八姐妹中有三位谈了男朋友,而我时常有意无意会做了“灯泡”,记得有一天自己在宿舍众姐妹面前宣布有朝一日要写大学回忆录就写“灯泡记”,可此时却又想不起自己做灯泡的具体情节。还有,自己有个宿舍雅号“爱情专家”,因为常常在哪一位与男朋友吵架了或是闹别扭了时,我便会利用自己的“书本知识”给她进行分析并给出建议,现在想来虽然不免幼稚,却也有趣。或者说自己当时的所作所为还能属于心理学范畴呢。宿舍姐妹中有一位与当时的男朋友修成了正果,大家的祝福也一直伴随着他们。
一晃大学毕业也已八年整了,如今的我已为人妻,并且刚刚升级做了妈妈,当年的宿舍八姐妹也分散在了全国各地甚至国外,但四年的大学生活一生难忘,虽然那时没有手机,通讯用的是磁卡电话;那时没有QQ没有E-MAIL,同学之间、家人之间的联系主要是写信,是写在信纸上装在信封里塞进邮筒里的那种;那时宿舍没有电视,新闻与娱乐节目主要是听广播,所以一些受欢迎的广播节目主持人反而成为大家要追的“星”;那时没有多媒体课件,没有优盘不能COPY,记笔记主要靠课上的认真听讲以及从别人的笔记中补充……但是四年的同学情谊一生难忘,难忘找教室上自习占座位的情景,难忘在宿舍偷用酒精炉煮方便面的情形,难忘卧谈会上的精彩对话,难忘初次在艺术团登台演出的紧张与激动,难忘考研时的并肩作战,难忘毕业时的酒醉狂欢……四年有着太多的难忘,我想我一生都不会停止怀念,怀念我的大学生活。
这就是生于七十年代末的一代人对于20世纪末的大学生活的回忆,我想这四年对每一个人的一生都是至为关键的四年,不是因为其他,而是因为那一段不可复制的青春岁月。
In 1996, I went to university at the age of 18.
In the first year, the classes were much fewer than high school. Moreover, university students had more free time than high school students. So the students gradually differed from each other. Some kept the study attitude they had cultivated in high school, especially regarding the study of English. Some did not attach much importance to studies any more and started to participate in various social activities. Although there was no Internet, computer games, MP3 or MP4 on our campus, the brilliant campus life is something I willremember all my life.
During my spare time in the first and second year, another important activity was to read novels. Both boy and girl students liked to read the Chinese martial arts novels written by Jin Yong. Many students read all of his novels: some even read them several times.The novels by Qiong Yao were also the favorites of the girl students. Almost all the students had one volume in their dormitories. Some even read the novels by the light of flashlight and candles after the dormitory lights were switched off. Besides the novels by Jin Yong and Qiong Yao, the world masterpieces, biographies of celebrities and travel writings were our favorite reading.
In the third year, study resumed an important position again. In my memory, what impressed me most included two aspects: the study of English and study of professional courses. In the fourth year, a job and the future were the course that every student had to confront with. So the students were divided into two kinds again. Some wrote resumes and participated in job fairs everywhere. Some seemed to revert to the high school period. From early morning till late at night, they studied hard for the entrance examinations for postgraduate courses.
Almost in a flash eight years have passed since I graduated from university. Nowadays, I have got married and have just had a baby. The eight roommates of my dormitory are now working in different areas in China and even abroad. However, no one will forget our university days all our lives.

新闻传媒界同样今非昔比,对此,2000年后参加新闻工作的我,和上世纪70年代开始参加新闻工作的父亲感触更深。
2008年,第29届奥运会在北京举行,作为北京奥运会的伙伴城市,青岛承办了奥帆赛,我作为《半岛都市报》的体育记者,参加了奥运报道。我来往于北京和青岛之间,背着笔记本电脑,乘飞机坐火车,赶赴现场采访比赛,常常是一边看比赛一边用笔记本电脑敲完稿件,然后上网将稿子发回报社。第二天清晨,我的一线采访报道就与广大读者见面了。这种采访报道体育赛事的情形,现在看只不过是最为普通的一幕,然而,对于父亲那一辈的新闻记者来说,简直是不可想像的。
小时候,我就经常跑到父亲工作的报社去玩,当时给我印象最深的恐怕就是办公室里里外外的纸堆了,父亲他们那些编辑记者的写字台上,到处堆满着厚厚的纸质稿件,大的小的、长的短的、宽的窄的、厚的薄的、编过的没有编过的,琳琅满目数不胜数。有时甚至连茶几上、窗台上,也都被这些稿件占满了,整个办公室,仿佛就是一个纸的海洋。父亲他们那时不管是写稿还是修改稿件,都是在稿纸上进行的,有时写一篇稿子,需要用上十几页甚至几十页的稿纸,修改稿子,用的也是红毛笔,所以在每一位编辑记者的桌子上,都会有一个大大的红色墨水瓶,和一个放着很多枝粗细不一毛笔的笔盒,用来编写稿件。作为党报的媒体工作者,对稿子的要求是非常严谨的,一篇稿子,通常要经过五六道关口方可见报,一篇稿件经过这五六道关口的修改,稿件大多成了个“大花脸”,所以当翻看厚厚的稿件时,上面全是密密麻麻的红字蓝字、红杠蓝杠,让人眼花缭乱不忍猝读,但这就是那时新闻工作的真实写照。
现在,随着科技的发展进步,电脑的普及,我们已经开始摆脱稿纸的束缚,尽情享受着高科技带来的便利,实现了无纸化办公,写稿只要在键盘上敲敲打打,就可以非常轻松地完成。而且,字体不像手写的那样潦草难辨,而是规规整整,清清楚楚,一目了然。修改稿件,再也不必拿着毛笔蘸着红墨水,在稿纸上那么费劲的勾勾划划,而是通过稿件库的传递,让编辑们可以在第一时间在网上对稿件进行修改,十分便捷、迅速、高效。
父亲当年做记者时,条件也非常艰苦,开始,他在报社的农村部,做农村采访报道。当时父亲经常下乡采访,上世纪70年代的农村,甚至在改革开放的初期,下乡采访也是一件苦差事。交通工具就是公交车、自行车,道路坑坑洼洼,很不好走,车况也很差,到郊区采访一次,常常需要早出晚归一整天。至今我还记得,父亲冬天要到崂山县西部的一些乡镇采访,常常天不亮就匆匆忙忙起床赶路,父亲说,到那几个乡镇的公交车,每天只有早晚两班,赶不上早班车,当天就去不成了,冬天天寒地冻,父亲他们每人发了一件灰色的旧海军棉大衣御寒,父亲穿着还非常高兴和自豪,现在想来,真是够寒碜的了。比起我们现在,乘飞机坐火车、打的、甚至开着私家车采访,那简直是天地之别了。
作为一名体育记者,我的工作是采访报道各类体育赛事,条件就更优越一些,不仅常在国内各大城市采访,而且还有机会出国进行采访,2002年以来,我就先后到韩国采访过亚运会,到美国采访过女足世界杯,到德国采访过男足世界杯,在国内各大城市的采访就更多了,有时北京、上海等有什么重要赛事,我常常是一早乘飞机赶到,采访工作结束之后,当天晚上就返回青岛。对于父亲那个时代的记者来说,真是难以想像。父亲说,那时他们的报道大多只在当地,外地的报道极少,更不要说是出国采访了,他们那一代的新闻工作者,如果能够乘坐飞机出国采访,那简直是一件很奢侈的事情。
想想父亲的新闻经历,看看我今天的新闻生活,可以十分清楚地折射出,中国新闻传媒业的发展变化是多么令人振奋和鼓舞,假如没有改革开放,今天的一切大概还只是梦想吧?
In 2008, the 20th Olympic Games were held in Beijing. As the Olympic partner city of Beijing, Qingdao hosted the Olympic sailing competitions. As a sports reporter of Peninsular City Newspaper, I participated in the reporting of the Olympic Games.
Shuttling between Beijing and Qingdao by plane or train and taking my laptop, I rushed to the racing sites to make on-the-site reports on the competitions. Usually I typed the reports on my laptop while watching the games and then sent the report to the editorial office through the Internet. In the early morning the next day, my frontier report would be available for the readers. This kind of sports report is very common now. However, for the news reporters of the generation of my father, this is beyond their imagination.
When my father was a reporter, the writing and revision of the news reports, were all done on paper. Sometime, more than ten or even dozens of sheets of paper were needed for one report.To revise the writings, a writing brush and red ink were needed. So on the desk of every editor, there was a big bottle of red ink and a writing brush case in which there were various sized writing brushes.
Nowadays, with the development and progress of science and technology as well as the popularization of computers, we have got rid of the restraint of paper and can fully enjoy the convenience brought about by high technology.
When my father was a reporter, he often went to the countryside for news reports. At that time, only buses and bicycles were available for transport. The road was bumpy and the buses were not good. So, he often needed to spend the whole day from the early morning the late evening to complete a report in the suburbs. Nowadays, plane, train, taxi, and even private car are all available for the reporters.

想想这三十年,值得回味的东西很多,但是给我感触最深的还数我们老百姓最爱过的春节。
记得小时候,最盼望的就是过春节,因为到了春节就有压岁钱,就有鞭炮放,而且还可以吃到好吃的饺子。还记得爸爸第一次给我的5元压岁钱,买了一个我喜欢了很久的塑料铅笔盒(那时候学生用的都是铁皮铅笔盒,很少有孩子能用到那种漂亮的塑料铅笔盒),剩下的都买了鞭炮(小时候那种摔地就能响的鞭炮很流行)。过年了,小孩子们穿着新衣忙着给长辈们拜年,为的就是多拿一些压岁钱。
过年了,大人们尤其是女人们开始忙着准备过年的食物,记得那时候不像现在花钱就能买到新鲜的蔬菜,所以家家都有秋天储藏蔬菜的习惯,可以晒干了等到冬天再拿出来。肉也准备得足足的,可以吃到正月十五。那时候,饺子是过年最好的食品,饺子馅是百年不变的白菜肉,百吃不厌。记得那时我10岁左右的样子,能一口气吃下30个,呵呵,了不得,了不得。
等到长大了一些,过年的感觉又是另一番景象。 记得16岁过年,我第一次有了自己的手表(花了50元),第一次可以“混入”到成年人的饭桌,好像自己真的是长大了,可以做一些主了,妈妈给买新衣服,自己可以选择款式,颜色。那时候家里也有了第一台电脑,486的,现在想来真是不错呢!那时候春节晚会是必看的主旋律,就像吃饺子一样,要是落下什么节目,心里得空劳好几天!还记得当时特别爱看冯巩的相声、陈佩斯的小品……
等到20岁了,出门在外了,过年的感觉更像是过中秋节似的,回家团聚的心情。大家不再吃肉了,都改吃素了,不再吃大鱼大肉了,改吃清淡的火锅了,不在家里吃了,改到饭店吃了,过年已不像是为了吃什么,穿什么,而是为图个热闹,为的是团聚。亲戚朋友们平时四面八方,难得一次相聚,大家聚在一起讨论着工作,学习,孩子,大家更关注这种相聚时刻的难能可贵了。记得我们家10年来第一次照了个全家福,做了一个大大的相框挂在客厅的正中间的墙上,那种感觉用一个字来形容就是“美”啊!相信幸福的感觉真的就是一瞬间的事情!
今年过年,老爸来电话问我回不回,我说肯定得回啊!我已经习惯于过年回家的感觉,不辞辛苦地坐上三十多个小时的车,为的就是能吃上老爸做的热腾腾的饭菜。
想想我这三十回年啊,改变的是味道,不变的是情怀。
In retrospect of the past 30 years, many things are worthy of being reviewed. However, what touches me most is the Spring Festival, which is the favorite festival for Chinese people.
In my childhood, what I yearned for most was the Spring Festival, since when the Spring Festival came, I could receive New Year gifts, set off firecrackers and eat the delicious dumplings. I still remember that I spent the five yuan of New Year gift my dad gave me for the first time on a plastic pencil case I had desired for a long time and bought firecrackers with the rest of the money. During the Spring Festival time, the children wore their news clothes to pay New Year calls on their uncles and aunties to get some money as New Year gifts.
Before the Spring Festival, the adults, especially women, were busy with preparing food for the festival. At that time, every family had the habit of storing vegetables in autumn, which could be dried for winter consumption. Meat was also prepared, which would be enough until the 15th day of the first month of the lunar year. The best food for the Spring Festival was dumpling with Chinese cabbage and pork stuffing. Even though this tradition has last for a long time, no one was ever tired of eating this kind of dumplings.
At the age of 16, for the first time, I had my own watch and my family had the first 486 computer. At that time, apart from eating dumplings, watching the entertainment evening party of CCTV on TV was the most important thing during the Spring Festival period.
At the age of 20, I had left home. So the Spring Festival meant a union with my family members rather than eating good food and wearing new clothes.

改革开放的30年中,普通百姓的衣着发型发生着巨大的变化,每一个细节的改变,都是对往昔的突破,折射出人们生活水平和审美意识的提高。对于美好生活的追求和向往,推动了中国式时尚的发展与变迁。我就出生在那个有着特殊意义的1978年,如今的我是一家企业的中层管理人员。从小时候妈妈亲手缝制的衣服到现在国际品牌的时装,我与改革开放共同成长。
说起小时候的衣着打扮,那是很令我自豪的,那时一年四季我都是穿着妈妈亲手做的衣服和鞋子。那还是买东西凭票据的年代,买粮有粮票,买油有油票,买布当然也得有布票才行。最常见的面料就是粗棉花布,一到过年,不管是什么花色的布,大家都会排队抢购。妈妈的手很巧,冬天里的棉袄,夏天的连衣裙,妈妈都用花布给我做出好看的样式,所以在同龄的孩子当中我穿的算是最漂亮的呢。后来,陆续有了灯芯绒和的确良,这些布料在那会儿是精致生活的标志,大大丰富了人们对于布料的选择。听妈妈说,到了1983年的12月全国取消了布票制度,延续了几十年的布票在中国彻底消失了,此后的服装走上了改革的道路。
到了上小学的年纪,正是中国女排在美国洛杉机奥运会上实现“三连冠”的时期,于是色彩鲜艳的运动装成为爱美人士的首选,人们几乎随时随地地穿着运动服。我们的校服也跟随了这种潮流,大红色的运动服上印着少先队队徽,袖子上还有三道白杠,我很是喜欢。说到那时的鞋子,白球鞋是体育课和文艺演出的必备装备,鞋脏了对于女孩来说是很糗的事情,如果发现鞋子上有污点,就会赶紧找只白粉笔反复涂抹干净。夏天时,就是五颜六色的塑料凉鞋的天下了,虽然这种鞋有很大的塑料味道,但色彩鲜艳,还可以穿着它在水里玩,所以我仍然觉得这是天下最好的鞋子。那个年代,孩子穿皮鞋是很少见的,印象里有一年春节我有了双很漂亮的红色牛皮鞋,我特意穿着它去照相馆拍了张照片,照片如今还在妈妈那里保存着,上面红红的小皮鞋和我的笑脸都还清晰可见。整个童年时光我都还没有什么发型的意识,一直都是梳着两个小辫,所有的女孩也都是这种简单的发型,只是到了后来出现了发箍,塑料的材质、鲜艳的彩色,算是点缀了我们的童年。
到了上世纪90年代,人们的穿着还是有些单调,但初中的我已经开始知道爱美和打扮了。那时候很流行穿毛线裙子,我就让妈妈给我织了红色、绿色、黄色三条,还分了鱼尾裙跟直筒裙的款式,里面配上一条红极一时的健美裤穿。每次穿上它们我都觉得自己是学校里最会打扮的女孩,虽然现在想想那时的自己不免有些可笑,但是那种爱美的心情还是充满了乐趣。跟小学时不同,上了初中的孩子就都不怎么爱穿校服了,好多同学都是把校服带在书包里,到了学校门口再套上。后来有段时间特别流行穿男士的黑布鞋,再背一个军绿色,单肩的军用帆布书包,不管男孩女孩都很热衷于这种复古的打扮。不过这种热情持续的时间不长,很快就被后来的港台流行热潮所替代,香港四大天王,BEYOND乐队,小虎队等等深受年轻人的欢迎。听着那些憧憬未来、青涩爱情的歌曲,我度过了青春最初的岁月。那时为了追赶时尚的潮流,身为女孩子的我也剪掉了长长的马尾辫,有了一个名号响亮的短发造型——郭富城头。
16岁,我上了高中,我依然穿着妈妈做的衣服,不同的我会拿着画报上觉得好看的衣服让妈妈照着上面的样子去做。那时突然发现有个心灵手巧的妈妈是件如此幸福的事情,画报上漂亮的衣服我用不了多少钱自己也可以穿到,这令我的朋友们也十分羡慕。后来,大概是1996的时候,随着HOT组合的中国开唱,韩流时尚来袭,街上都是水桶裤、松糕鞋等嘻哈风的打扮。那时我也很想穿着这样的服饰,但妈妈坚持认为那样的打扮太流气,不适合还是学生的我,无奈我也只能放弃了哈韩的念头。但是经过和妈妈的协商,最终我去美发厅烫了平生的第一次头发,在带着加热帽苦苦坚持了6个小时之后,一个花卷一样的发型诞生了。虽然不怎么好看,但我依然很高兴,因为这是我对时尚的进一步探求。
后来,我去外地上了大学,从那开始就很少会穿妈妈做的衣服了。90年代末中国人开始拥有了品牌意识,部分国际品牌也陆续进入到了中国的消费市场,但由于消费能力和追求的落差,那时的我还只能接触到真维斯、班尼路等“踮脚就能够到”的平价流行品牌。从此开始,我所有的裤子都换成了牛仔裤。也是从那时,我再次留起了长发,并尝试了中学时一直向往但学校明令禁止的披肩发。大学快毕业时,我拥有了第一双高跟鞋,是双7分跟的黑色细跟皮鞋,虽然穿起来并不舒服,但它却证明我已为成人和即将迈入社会的决心。
大学毕业后我回到了家乡青岛,在一家企业一直工作到现在。妈妈早已不再开动那台陪伴我童年记忆的缝纫机亲手做衣服,她会跟我一起逛街购物,她也承认买来的衣服更加时尚和漂亮。如今的潮流,一季甚至一个月就会有变化,我和所有国人一样,都不再盲从所谓时尚,而是学会了理智选择、个性消费,像过去一流行什么就是全国上下总动员的情形已经很难见到了。我会在工作时身着国际名牌时装,脚蹬最新款的高跟鞋;也会在休闲时穿上全棉环保的衣服,踩上一双最普通的平底鞋。当时尚触手可及时,人们反而不再那么刻意。
时至今日,改革开放和我都迎来了30岁这一重要时刻。世界各大顶级品牌早已纷纷落户中国的各个城市,你甚至可以在青岛跟巴黎同步买到最奢华的时尚新品。而如今,国人对时尚潮流的态度也在悄悄发生着转变,逐渐开始抛弃对单纯光鲜外表的追求,回归朴实本质,更注重人文关怀和生活的品质。更有趣的是,不知何时开始,七八十年代的经典国货再次成为了新鲜时尚的元素。这正是改革开放后国力增强,国人自信心的体现,同时也真正应了“时尚30年一个轮回”这句话。
Over the past 30 years of reform and opening-up, great changes have taken place in the fashions of the ordinary people. The change of every detail is a breakthrough from the past, which highlights the advance in people's living standards and their aesthetic awareness. Their pursuit and yearning for better life have promoted the development and changes in Chinese fashion. I was born in 1978-a year with special significance for the Chinese people. Nowadays, I am a middle-level manager of an enterprise. From wearing my mom's hand-sown garments in my childhood to wearing the international branded fashions today, I have grown up along with the reforms and opening-up. Today, both China's reform and opening-up and I mark the important milestone of thirty-years. The world top brands have all been established in the cities all over China. In Qingdao, you can even buy the latest top luxury goods at the same time as people in Paris do. Nowadays, the attitude of the Chinese people to fashionable trends is also changing. While gradually giving up pursuing the amazing external appearance, people attach more importance to pursuing humanistic care and living quality. Interestingly, and nobody knows when it started, the classical Chinese-made products of the 1970s and 1980s have become the latest fashion statements again, which is a manifestation of the increase of Chinese national power and the self-confidence of the Chinese people after the reforms and opening-up. It also supports the old saying that "Fashion recurs ever 30 years."

从露天电影到电视
我是看着《大闹天宫》、唱着《小螺号》长大的一代。那个年代,没有现在这么齐全的娱乐设施,也没有今天这么发达的电脑网络。小时候我很喜欢夏天,因为可以和小伙伴们一起去附近的第三公园看露天电影。那时候,第三公园经常在夏天的傍晚放电影,幕布就拉在操场西面的球门上方,许多住在附近的人会在晚饭后拿着马扎、蒲扇、风油精和茶壶早早地去占位子。虽然放的大多是老黑白片,但操场上的人们依然看得津津有味。那个年代,马路上基本没有车,乘凉的人们常常会在有路灯的大树底下待到很晚,那时家家都在外面铺凉席,有的找来五六个人打扑克,有的甚至直接睡在路边。
1980年中期,电视机开始慢慢普及,看电视便成了一家人惟一的娱乐项目,只是那时候只有两三个频道。电视节目也少得可怜。那时每天中午放学,我和姐姐都是跑着去奶奶家的,就怕错过动画片开始的时间。《大闹天宫》、《九色鹿》、《骄傲的将军》、《曹冲称象》、《神笔马良》、《小蝌蚪找妈妈》、《哪吒闹海》等等等等,无不是国产动画经典中的经典。再看看现在,虽然电视大了、频道多了、连屏幕也“高清”了,但总觉得现在的孩子们比我们“可怜”多了。后来陆续播了从外国引进的动画连续剧《米老鼠和唐老鸭》、《花仙子》、《聪明的一休》、《变形金刚》,到《非凡的公主希瑞》、《忍者神龟》、《布雷斯特警长》、《圣斗士星矢》等等,又让我们见到了另外的一种“风情”。有一年的暑假,《西游记》播出了,当时我们几个小伙伴很好奇孙悟空是怎么飞来飞去、变大变小的,于是大家在第三公园的假山上试验了大半个夏天,以至于好几个人把这段经历写进了暑假作业里。
追星和小说的青春岁月
上中学的时候,我们的目光转向了追星。初一的时候,追星的行为不知道从哪个班先开始的,当同位弄来一铅笔盒的四大天王贴纸时,几乎没有人不知道小虎队、刘德华、黎明、张学友和郭富城,周慧敏、赵雅芝更是无数男同学心目中的梦中情人。初二的时候,港台明星更成气候,草蜢、Beyond、张雨生、周华健、伊能静、潘美辰的歌更是茶话会上大家争相献艺的曲目。当年,同学们最热衷的课外娱乐还有读小说,男的读金庸古龙、女的读琼瑶,当时班里许多同学根据小说里的人物给自己或别人取外号。老师没收小说的数量,随着中考的临近,一天比一天少。中考结束后,我们开始了短暂又快乐的日子,同学拿来他弟弟的游戏机,几个人傻坐在电视前面按把子,当年的游戏个个很经典,魂斗罗、超级玛丽、冒险岛,每一个我们都玩得酣畅淋漓,因为只有两个把子,所以大家说好了上下场轮着玩。
上高中后,因为高考这一重担,大家把学习当成了第一目标。娱乐变成了一件很奢侈的事情。每个人悄悄地延续着各自的喜好,追星的依旧追星,读小说的依旧沉迷刀光剑影和爱恨缠绵中,一遍又一遍。那三年,再也没有出现让众生“疯魔”的娱乐。放假的时候,我们还是忍不住恶补了许多电影。考上了大学的那个夏天,我们像飞出笼子的鸟一样,幸福得不知道应该先享受什么。同学再次拿来他弟弟的游戏机,又是一通乱打,那个夏天,通关几乎成了我们惟一的使命,就像考试一样,让我们不分昼夜,昏天黑地地血战到底。终于,通关了。我们扔掉半残废的游戏把子,拿起泳裤,去了久违的海边,过着天天海边扎猛子、洗海澡的滋润日子。
电脑游戏风靡校园
刚上大学的时候,很不适应松散的课程和大量的自习。总之,当大家发现有大把大把的时间可以自由支配时,首先想到的是弥补高中三年逝去的时光。有人带着足球狂奔在球场上,有人抱着篮球跳跃在篮筐下,有人扎进图书馆不到关门不出来,有人站在草间树下发表文人一样的感慨,有人很赶趟地搞上了对象,有人挤在宿舍里打够级、战保皇,还有人窝在宿舍里蒙头大睡。不管我们有多么不同的消遣,都在两个点上集合了,那就是世界杯和电脑游戏。世界杯的日子里,几乎每个宿舍都在熄灯之前拉好电,速度之快、水平之高可以媲美“特工”——特级电工。后来,校方不知从哪听来的消息,竟然不再拉电闸,于是大家更加放心又开心地看球。电脑游戏是从扫雷、雷电等单机游戏开始的,红警、星际争霸、盟军敢死队、英雄无敌,成为一代经典。当一代DF诞生之后,整个机房就变成了联机厮杀的战场,彩虹六号、极品飞车、仙剑奇侠传等也逐渐有了自己的一席之地。今天的科技发展,使得电脑游戏获得了前所未有的飞跃,“网游”更是造就了庞大的游戏市场,甚至成为某些人惟一的、全部的“娱乐”内容。然而偶尔再进一次网吧,却早已没有了当年的感觉。
工作已经7年了。除了为工作应酬着吃饭K歌、闷在书房里玩游戏,我自己的娱乐越来越少。昨天,我找出了以前玩的军棋和跳棋,竟然找不到人对战!社会在发展,世界在进步,我们娱乐方式越来越多,可娱乐的精神越来越少。
In my childhood, with neither the complete amusement facilities nor the developed Internet of today, my favorite film was The Monkey King Wreaking Havoc in the Heavenly Palace and the song I often sang was Little Conch Trumpet.
When I was a child, I liked summer very much, since I could go to the open-air cinema in the nearby No. 3 Park with my little friends. Despite the fact that most movies shown were the out-dated black and white, people on the playground watched the films with great amusement.
In the 1980s, television sets gradually became popular, so watching television became the only amusement program for families. However, at that time, only two or three channels are available. So the television programs were few. Watching animated cartoon programs was the main amusement for the children.
In junior middle school, we turned our interest to the fan craze. At that time, everybody knew the famous singing stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan and reading the novels by Jin Yong and Qiong Yao was the greatest fun for both the boy and girl students.
In senior middle school, we regarded study as our primary goal. So recreation was an extravagant issue for us.
In the early period after I was admitted to the university, I could not get used to the relaxed courses and a lot of self-teaching classes. When we found we had a lot of free time, all we thought about was to make up for the busy time of the three-year senior middle school period.
Thus far, I have had a job for seven years. Besides dining and going to the Karaoke room at work and playing computer games in my own study, my recreations have grown fewer and fewer. Yesterday, when I found the military chess and checker chess I used to play, I could not find a rival to play with!
With the development of society and the progress of the world, our recreation ways are getting more and more varied. However, our creative spirit is declining.
