China Is Changing--1, Yesterday

Yesterday
People in China were very poor during my parents's generation. I did not experience that ages, but I heard a lot of stories from my parents and some other old friend.
I was born and grown up in a small village. So I've heard a lot of stories about the life in the village. People did not have their own land before the year of 1980. Every village had a piece of land. All the people from the village had to share a piece of land at the same time. There were about 20 families belonging to one small village. All people went out to work at the land and went home on the sunset. People worked everyday but every person could obtain a little food and some money at the end of the year. That little food is not even enough for a single person. Further more, people could not buy enough goods even if they had enough money, because they needed tickets to buy any kind of commodity. There were a lot kind of tickets, like tickets for rice, pork, bean oil, cloth and so on. You needed a ticket if you wanted to buy anything. That's because the new China was lacking everything. People were too poor to buy any stuff. My parents told me they were hunger everyday. They could not eat meat until the New Year Day, which means they could only have one day of eating meat for every year.
I think people did not have momentum to work hard on a piece of communal land is the reason why they did not create more food and other commodity.
This is the life in China 30 years ago. But life had changed a lot during the later 30 years. It's so later now. I have to sleep again. I would like to write about what happened later in China.Hope this can help people from all over the world to know China.

  Very interesting article Lisa, thansk for sharing!

I think people did not have incentive to work hard on a piece of communal land and that is the reason why they did not create more food and other commodities.
