Born in the 1990s, I can't imagine the days my parents experienced, but I personally felt the rapid changes in my life in the past 30 years of reform and opening up.
Time flies, unconsciously, the reform and opening up has gone through 30 years. Great changes have taken place in China since the reform and opening up. The streets are full of excitement, the roads are full of traffic, and high-rise buildings have sprung up ... China has finally embarked on the road of prosperity and world civilization after all kinds of hardships.
Thirty years ago, people in my hometown, Red City, were still wearing clothes with monotonous colors and rough fabrics, and people were still eating food that they could not choose, but now all this has changed. In the past, the muddy dirt road became a wide and flat asphalt road, Mercedes-Benz and Honda replaced those worn-out bicycles, the vacuum cleaner sucked away the broom, green food gave up people's attachment to big fish and big meat, the times are progressing, and my hometown is also progressing.
This narrow street has now become a wide and prosperous pedestrian street. Tired of shopping, there are long leisure chairs in the middle of the street for us to rest; It is not uncommon to see lively scenes that can only be seen during the Spring Festival holiday. Streets, farmers' markets and supermarkets are full of people shopping and playing, as if every day is a holiday!
At that time, many schools were dangerous buildings with civil structures, mottled earth walls and no glass on the windows. In winter, the howling cold wind is biting. When it rains, the sound of raindrops falling from the hole of broken tiles and the sound of reading constitute a discordant tune ... The past is unbearable. Since the reform and opening up, all this has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the muddy path has become a spacious asphalt road. The children are also sitting in the comfortable and bright classroom, and there is no longer any fear of being afraid of the cold.
Our motherland is getting richer and stronger day by day, as indestructible as the Great Wall of Steel! 1997, 1999, and Heixiazi Island in 2008, making China the second largest country in land area. In the face of SARS, the once-in-a-century snowstorm in the south and the sudden Wenchuan earthquake, the Chinese people overcame all kinds of difficulties with one heart. Sports have also flourished. Since Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal in the Olympic Games, China athletes have made outstanding achievements in volunteering at the quadrennial Olympic Games. It is with this strength that China is honored to be the host country of the 2008 Olympic Games, and the people of China have also become the masters of the Olympic Games. At the same time, it also proves to foreigners that China people are no longer the sick man of East Asia. With the continuous progress of science and technology, Shenzhou VI and Shenzhou VII rose into the sky with the long-awaited wishes of the people of China amid the cheers of people all over the world.
Reform and opening up have brought happiness to our lives and filled us with hope. I firmly believe that the future of the motherland will be stronger and better! Our life will get better and better!
