Return To 1977 Chapter 448: Begonia flowers bloom
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
In April 1979, as the warm wind became stronger, the begonia flowers in the "Huatingyuaner" of the Hong family's old residence bloomed.
The strings of pink flowers with white inside bloomed so romantically, so free and easy, without even a trace of thought or hesitation. It was covered with branches almost overnight, blooming in the warm sunshine, attracting bees and birds.
The beauty of this kind of blooming flowers will make anyone feel a kind of unrestrained happiness when they see it. It seems that as long as you look at it a few more times, all worries and worries will disappear. Everyone's life and future will become so gorgeous.
Hong Yanwu regrets that the old house is being renovated and repaired. Because the "Huatingyuan" is in a mess all day long, not only are there people coming and going, but there are also piles of sand and brick walls. This made it impossible for him to hold hands and enjoy the flowers with "Tang Xin'er".
Now it seems that this kind of beautiful thing "I only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals", I can only hope for next year...
It should be said that April of this year was the most prosperous and vibrant month in the capital since the "Movement". Because this month our republic is more closely connected with the word "fashion" than ever before.
This is not like a small gap inadvertently opened in the past, just a few songs, a few fabrics or some fashionable products quietly appearing in people's lives, but all-round "Testing the waters" like recovery and catching up.
Early this month, French fashion master Pierre Cardin was invited to visit China for the first time. He set up a temporary T-stage at the National Palace of Culture, allowing some Chinese people in the foreign trade and clothing circles to experience foreign fashion designers for the first time. costume show.
On the day of the performance, 8 French models and 4 Japanese models walked catwalk to the accompaniment of pop music, which formed a strong contrast with the audience wearing blue and gray uniforms who watched with bated breath.
Especially when a blonde female model stopped in the middle of the catwalk and lifted up her long skirt in excitement, the audience in the audience leaned back in unison. It was like avoiding a shock wave that was very close at hand.
This scene later led to the emergence of some negative reports and objections, which lowered the reception standards of Pierre Cardin's Shanghai trip and caused a cold reception. The number of performances and the number of audiences were also greatly reduced.
But this master was, after all, "the first person to dare to eat crabs". He pioneered costume performances in the Republic. No matter what, no one can prevent Pierre Cardin's name and brand from becoming a household name in the land of the Republic, known to all women and children.
Similarly, the corners and cornices of the Forbidden City and the Imperial Ancestral Temple also brought great inspiration to the contemporary French "Marco Polo". For a long time, he was inspired to pay special attention to shoulder design, so he widely used shoulder pads and clothing in his clothing.
As the first international brand to knock on the door of our country, this undoubtedly affected our country's fashion trends, making clothing with shoulder pads a hot seller almost throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
At the same time, echoing the "official internal performance" brought by "Pierre Cardin", among the people, "flared pants" have completely formed a popular trend, completely shaking this trend. The great Eastern countries have been uniform and monotonous for decades.
In fact, this thing originating from sailor pants, like perms and slicked back hair, had been popular among the "social youth" of the 1960s before 1966. Later, it "died" because of "breaking the four olds".
Now that it has been ten years, its popularity around the world is coming to an end. There are not many "bell-bottomed pants" that can be brought in through compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao. Logically speaking, there is no basis for regaining their popularity.
However, due to long-term confinement, young people’s aesthetics have become very deformed, and they are particularly willing to pursue exaggeration. So much so that as soon as they discovered this kind of strange costumes from imported movies and TV, many people rushed to imitate them. Unexpectedly, this kind of "outdated" clothing not only became popular all over the country, but also maintained its popularity for a long time.
The most popular color of "flared pants" at that time was beige "khaki", so there is a saying "If you are crazy, look at beige".
Some young people also like to make a fuss about the "flare mouth". The width of their homemade "flared pants" is even as wide as one foot and two, and the width of the two trouser legs exceeds the waist size.
In addition, many people also wear high-heeled leather shoes when wearing "flared pants", and some have triangles nailed to the heels. As I walked, my leather shoes clicked and my trousers swept the road. If you put on a toad mirror and carry a "four-speaker" video player through the market, the rate of turning heads will definitely be 100%.
Of course, the fate of this "costume monster" is exactly the same as that of "Pierre Cardin"'s debut. It has encountered criticism and resistance from all sides since the beginning of its re-popularity.
Many people can't stand it and think this is just a big idiot! rogue! Have fun! Anyway, those who wear fancy clothes are not good people.
For this reason, they rebuked young people for being too frivolous, saying that this represented the decadence, illusion, and decline of the West.
The cartoonists immediately seized the opportunity and painted the young man wearing "flared pants" as a villain, which is like the ancient trend of denouncement of "subduing monsters".
The crosstalk actors even lost no time in making up crosstalk jokes. He said that since some people in their alley wore bell-bottom pants, they no longer had to sweep the alley. why? The trousers are like broomsticks!
There were even many acts of oppression on the streets. Some police station and unit security department personnel, once they find someone wearing "bell-bottomed pants", they need to forcibly cut them with scissors in order to get rid of the problem quickly.
It wasn’t until the Youth Daily wrote an article arguing that the characters in the Feitian murals of the Tang Dynasty in my country also wore bell-bottom pants, saying that they originated from our nation, not the West, that the opposition became smaller. .
No matter what, don’t underestimate the impact of “flared pants” on our country’s clothing culture.
Because it not only prompted Chinese people to start adopting A-line clothing silhouettes, but also raised Chinese people's height standards by ten centimeters.
It is because of "bell-bottomed pants" that young people of this generation began to admire the Western body shape.
For recruitment and finding a partner, the requirements for men and women have increased from 1.65 meters and 1.55 meters in the 1950s and 1960s to 1.75 meters and 1.65 meters respectively. Even young men are willing to find girls who are taller than themselves as their spouses.
To this day, it is hard for people to believe that the popularity of a piece of clothing can have such a huge power, but this is indeed a historical fact.
The significance of open clothing is not limited to the above. Don’t forget, everyone loves beauty, and how to preserve beauty is everyone’s expectation.
As a result, not only did perming, growing hair, growing beards, wearing high heels, pointed shoes, and new clothes, all of the "fashion" before the "breaking of the four olds" revived. The "photography wind" is also blowing uncontrollably.
Photography has been invented for nearly 200 years, and people have taken pictures before and since. The difference this time is that there are two main popular groups in society. Apart from true photography enthusiasts, there is another type of person who is in love.
People who love photography technology have a very detailed understanding of the equipment itself and know all its functions very clearly. They take pictures of everything, and the pictures they take are very good, even though many are amateurs. But among them there are often many masters, with levels comparable to those of professionals.
For example, that month, the whole capital was talking about a photography exhibition titled "Nature, Society, People" held in Zhongshan Park. The organizer was a non-governmental organization called "April Photography Club". It is these photography enthusiasts who pioneered private art activities in the new era.
But people who fall in love are completely different. It’s the season when spring flowers bloom and everything revives. Two people travel together to enjoy the sunshine and life. What's more important is to attract attention.
This kind of vanity is not only reflected in photos. When you look back and show them to others, you will see that I have been everywhere and left behind beautiful photos that live up to my youth. At the same time, it can also prove that we have a private camera, buy film, and shoot casually, in order to gain the envy of others.
In fact, the greatest enjoyment is the moment when taking photos. At that time, male and female lovers often had a tacit understanding and liked to take photos in crowded places.
The woman was beautifully dressed, posing gracefully with a gauze scarf in hand, and the man was busy talking with his camera. Not to mention how decent this process is.
This is because taking pictures at that time relied on manual focus. The cameras were generally large and came with cowhide covers. It sparkles like a small steel cannon in the sunlight.
Regardless of whether the photo is taken by a man or woman, the feeling is basically equivalent to a pair of lovers driving a luxury car on the road today. It is bound to attract envious looks and comments. Who could not be beautiful?
Just be careful not to be too arrogant and climb up and down unscrupulously to capture the view, and you won't have such unpleasant things as falling or falling into the water.
It has the same popular transmission power as "flared pants" and "photography style". There's also "Guitar Fever" and "Dancing Fever."
Not long after Teresa Teng became popular, Taiwanese campus songs that emerged in the 1970s were introduced again.
Compared with Teresa Teng's softness, campus songs are more fresh, simple, homely, and heartfelt. For a time, "Childhood", "Olive Tree", "Grandma's Penghu Bay" and "Walking on the Country Road" were widely sung.
Coupled with the outbreak of the Yunnan educated youth group incident at the end of 1978, the country's top officials had to change the policy on educated youth, opening the door for returning to the city. As of the beginning of this year, many young people have returned to their hometowns after a long absence.
So, before the relationship is established, before the job is found. Many of these young people who have nothing to do put their energy into playing a guitar.
There were no professional teaching materials and teachers at that time. Not many people know how to do it. The skills are all passed down by word of mouth, self-exploration and mutual learning.
It is hard for people today to imagine how enthusiastic people were about learning the piano at that time. It was not a way to relieve a boring life. But a necessity of life.
Because there is no guitar, these young people with nothing to do will be full of irritability and loneliness. It is a guitar that gives them confidence and goals, and also gives them the opportunity to prove that they are better than others.
The characteristics of that time were the admiration for masters, technical requirements for innovation, and a strong thirst for new knowledge. Therefore, there are many people who practice the piano for twelve hours a day, and no one cares if their hands are broken while playing the guitar. It is almost certain that the strings of each guitar are hung with the blood of its owner.
And due to the lack of space, most young people who practice piano choose to practice in the park. They are all still in their prime of life, so this inevitably leads to the trend of "breaking the harp".
As the name suggests, "Balase Qin" is similar to "Balase Stand". The only difference is that the winner is determined by the skill of the Qin. Whoever loses has to give the Qin to the other party as a trophy. Of course, not everyone follows the rules. So at the end of the evolution, the "ballast piano" is completed, followed by the "ballast frame".
It is not difficult to explain why rock music began to rise in Beijing in the 1980s. Folk songs and certain bands in the 1990s easily broke the dull music atmosphere of the entire country and created a lot of music myths.
