Tuesday, February 4, 1992 (the first day of the first month of the Year of the Monkey!)

The Spring Festival came as scheduled, but unlike usual, He Zilong was not at home for the New Year, nor was he at the third uncle's house and the second aunt's house. The second aunt and her parents, or the third uncle, called and helped him round the lie, saying that he had won the prize in a student activity and was now traveling outside.

Naturally, there will be no 82-year-old red wine in a mid-range restaurant, but the 82-year-old expired Coke really found a bottle in the warehouse, and He Zilong, who saw it, couldn't help but almost laugh. In the end, I still didn't have the courage to buy it and drink it, for fear of food poisoning!

I ordered a few more dishes for myself in the restaurant, and drank alone in the room. I glanced at the compound of the Public Security Bureau next door, and then looked out the window on the street. On the streets with few pedestrians, but because of the Chinese New Year, the street lights are also on.

There is a TV in the room, but even if there is cable, there are actually only a dozen channels that can be changed. Especially at this point in time, no matter which channel you change, it is almost always a live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, and He Zilong simply gave up struggling.

Well, let's watch the Spring Festival Gala!

The only thing that is better than home is that after winning the lottery, the family only bought a black and white TV set. In the hotel room, in the end, it was a hotel that cost dozens of dollars a night in 1992, and I watched a color TV. There is even air conditioning, which is rare, but the voice is a bit loud.

"Chinese New Year's Eve, ten years and then look back, the screen heart to heart, joy into ten thousand homes, gather tonight, firecrackers to celebrate the New Year!" As the host's speech appeared on TV, the Spring Festival Gala officially began.

Then the first program, "Unforgettable Song" was sung by the stars.

In the sketch "Mom's Today", Zhao Lirong's invention of "Tango" has caused many people to follow suit. As a reborn, He Zilong knows that this trend has made the audience across the country learn for a full year.

Zhao Benshan even embarked on the road of "Marriage" with ingenuity, but as a result, the lonely heart found a home before it was on TV.

He Zilong knew that since this year, "China Television News" began to select the first "Chunlan Cup: My Favorite Program", and received 240,000 votes for the first time. Although there were often unexpected results in subsequent evaluations, the audience's evaluation became more and more free and open.

When, the superborn guerrillas (a sketch performed by Huang Hong and Song Dandan) appeared, He Zilong's eyes lit up.

Superborn Guerrilla is a famous humorous sketch in Chinese mainland in the 90s, written by Huang Hong and Duan Xiaojie, and first performed by Huang Hong and Song Dandan in 1990, at the New Year's Day party of China Central Television with a northeast accent. But in 92, because it has always been popular with the audience, after a slight modification, it came on stage again.

The sketch depicts the dangers of superbirth, from the same perspective as the government, but also reflects the hardships of the lives of migrants in Chinese mainland. "Superborn Guerrilla" is one of Huang Hong's most famous sketches, and it has also established Song Dandan's reputation as a comedy and sketch actor.

The implementation of the "one child" policy has caused China to have more than 300 million fewer children in the next 30 years. This figure is equivalent to the population of the whole of Europe, and it has played a great role in reducing the burden of food, resources, and environmental protection.

However, wherever there are positives, there must also be negatives. What's more, in terms of policy, ordinary people can always find instinctive loopholes and preferences!

As far as the Chinese are concerned, they have a deep-rooted patriarchal mentality, and many people, especially rural farmers, abandon their families and fields in order to give birth to boys, and drag their children and daughters around to avoid the supervision of family planning personnel.

Even with boys, one is not enough to have several. When you can only have one, you also want men first as the first goal, so there is a huge imbalance in the ratio of men and women in later generations.

For this sketch, He Zilong finished reading it with tears in his eyes. In fact, he remembered that he also had a sister in front of him, but his father and mother were dual-income workers, and he gave some money to a doctor acquaintance, knowing that his first child was pregnant with a girl.

I insisted that I couldn't do it, and I had a miscarriage. Then there was a second child, the birth of He Zilong. Of course, this pair of double workers can only ask for a descendant, which is equivalent to the birth of He Zilong, which caused the miscarriage of the previous sister.

"My sister who went to heaven before she was born, your brother is here for the New Year, I would like to give you a drink. Oh no, you may have been reincarnated, so I wish you a good family. Rich people, be a daughter......" At night, He Zilong raised his wine glass to the moon and said his New Year's wish.

As he made this wish, Chen Linlin, who lived in the Pujiang Hotel in the distance, sneezed more than a dozen times in a row for some reason.

"This is the New Year, and I don't know who is scolding me in my heart. Hmph, and He Zilong's kid, I don't know where he went. Miss Ben was scolded by her father on the phone, and she didn't have a good New Year, so she couldn't go home. Strange thing, I've had a strange dream since the past few nights, I always feel like I have a younger brother, but in our family, I only have older brothers and sisters, I'm the youngest, where is the ......younger brother?"

On TV, with the habitual end of the Spring Festival Gala, "Unforgettable Tonight" was sung. It also means that 1991 has completely passed, and 1992 has officially arrived in the lunar calendar.

As the countdown sound sounded on the TV, He Zilong hurriedly picked up the big brother and called the public phone in the family home in Chalin County, Hunan.

He knows that his parents have the habit of watching the Spring Festival Gala at home all the time, and then setting off fireworks, and only going to bed until about one o'clock in the evening every year.

The phone was finally connected, and He Zilong hurriedly said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, I'm Xiaolong, please help me call my parents to come and answer the phone, thank you, happy New Year." ”

The second big year is a five-guarantee household, so the New Year is also in the family home. After saying good New Year to each other with He Zilong, he went to call He Zilong's parents over.

"Son, it's you. I knew that I said you would definitely call, and your dad didn't believe it. He Zilong's mother looked very happy on the phone, and asked repeatedly: "How is it, traveling outside, is it good to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, is it safe?"

"Well, after dinner, I stayed in a big hotel, I was very good at eating and lodging, and there would be group activities in the room for a while, there were many people, and it was very safe. "Opening his mouth to talk nonsense, now it has almost become He Zilong's standard, even in the face of his parents, it is natural to run the train.

Speaking of security, every night, it's who blocks the couch behind the door of the room. And then the windows are sealed here, Big Brother keeps the phone on at all times, and the short-handled shotgun in the schoolbag can be held in his hand all the time to sleep?

He Zilong feels that he is not safe every day, of course, mainly from mental pressure, not reality.
