In April 1979, with the warm wind, the begonia flowers in the "Flower Hall Courtyard" of the Hong family's old house bloomed.

The strings of pink are white, and the white and pink flowers bloom so romanticly, so freely, there is no flash of thought and hesitation at all. Almost overnight, the branches were hung with branches, and in the warm sunlight, they attracted hummings and birds.

This blossoming beauty makes 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, there are no worries and worries. Everyone's life and future will become so splendid.

Hong Yanwu regretted that the old house was being renovated and repaired. Because the "Flower Hall Courtyard" is chaotic all day long, not only people come and go, but also sand piles and brick walls. This makes it impossible for him to hold hands with "Sugar Heart" to enjoy the flowers.

Now it seems that this kind of "only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals" can only hope for next year......

It should be said that April of this year is the most prosperous and vigorous month in Beijing since the "movement". Because this month our republic has never been more closely associated with the word "fashion".

This is not like a small crack inadvertently opened as before, just a few songs, a few fabrics or some fashionable products quietly appeared in people's lives, but an all-round recovery and catching up like a "test of the waters".

At the beginning of this month, the French fashion master Pierre Cardin was invited to visit China for the first time, and on the temporary T-shaped catwalk set up in the National Cultural Palace, some Chinese people in the foreign trade and clothing circles experienced the clothing performances of foreign fashion designers for the first time.

On the day of the performance, to the accompaniment of pop music, 8 French models and 4 Japanese models walking catwalks formed a strong contrast with the audience wearing blue and gray uniforms and watching with bated breath.

Especially when a blonde female model stopped in the middle of the runway and lifted her long skirt in a fit of excitement, the audience invariably leaned back. It's like dodging a shock wave that's close at hand.

This scene later led to some negative reports and objections, which led to a reduction in the reception standards of Pierre Cardin's trip to Shanghai, and the number of performances and the number of spectators were greatly reduced.

But this master, after all, was "the first person who dared to eat crabs", and he pioneered costume performances in the Republic. In any case, no one can prevent the name and brand of Pierre Cardin from becoming a household name, known to women and children on the soil of the Republic.

Similarly, the corners and cornices of the Forbidden City and the 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 used shoulder pads and in his clothing extensively.

As the first international brand to knock on our country's door, this undoubtedly influenced the fashion trend in our country, so that clothing with shoulder pads has been selling well almost throughout the eighties and nineties.

At the same time, echoing the "official in-house performance" brought by "Pierre Cardin", it is among the people that "bell bottoms" have completely formed a popular trend, completely shaking the uniformity and monotony of this large eastern country for decades.

In fact, this kind of thing originated from sailor pants, like perms and big backs, as early as 1966, among the "social youth" in the sixties. Later, it was because of the "breaking of the four olds" that it "died".

Now, ten years later, the worldwide popularity is nearing its end. There are not many "bell bottoms" that can be brought in by Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, and it stands to reason that there is no basis for restoring popularity.

However, due to the imprisonment for too long, young people's aesthetics have become very deformed, and they are especially willing to pursue exaggeration. So much so that as soon as this kind of fancy dress was discovered from imported movies and television, many people rushed to follow suit. As a result, this "outdated" clothing has not only become popular rapidly in various parts of the country, but also maintained a long period of popularity.

Some young people make their own "bell bottoms", the widest of which even reaches one foot two, and the width of the two trousers exceeds the size of the waist.

Many people wear "bell-bottoms" with high-heeled leather shoes, some of which have triangle plates nailed to the heels. When walking, leather shoes kick and trousers sweep the road. Then bring a toad glasses and carry a "four-speaker" VCR to swagger through the market, and the return rate is absolutely 100%.

Of course, the fate of this "costume freak" is the same as that of the premiere of "Pierre Cardin", which has been criticized and resisted from all sides since the beginning of its re-popularity.

There are many people who are not used to seeing it, thinking that this is simply a big Ah Fei! Hooligans! Having fun! Anyway, people in fancy clothes are not good people.

For this reason, they rebuked young people for being too frivolous, saying that it was something that represented the decay, illusion, and decline of the West.

The comic painter immediately seized the opportunity to draw a young man wearing "bell-bottoms" as a villain, which had the tendency of angrily denouncing "subduing demons" in ancient times.

The cross talk actor lost no time in making up cross talk jokes. said that since someone in their alley wore bell bottoms, they didn't have to sweep the alley anymore. Why? The hem of the trousers is like a broom!

There was even a lot of street oppression. As soon as the personnel of the security departments of some police stations and units are found to be wearing "bell bottoms", they must forcibly cut them with scissors.

It wasn't until the "Youth Daily" wrote an article to argue that the characters in the Tang Dynasty murals in China also wore bell bottoms, saying that it originated from our nation, not the West, that the opposition was a little smaller.

But no matter what, don't underestimate the impact of "bell bottoms" on my country's clothing culture.

Because it not only prompted the Chinese people to start adopting the A-line clothing silhouette, but also raised the Chinese people's height standard by ten centimeters.

It is because of the "bell bottoms" that this generation of young people began to admire the body shape of Westerners.

The requirements for men and women have increased from 1.65 meters and 1.55 meters in the fifties and sixties to 1.75 meters and 1.65 meters respectively. Even the boys are willing to find a girl who is taller than themselves as a mate.

It is hard to believe that the popularity of a costume can produce such great power, but this is indeed a historical fact.

There's more to the openness of clothing than that. Don't forget, everyone has a love for beauty, and how to preserve it is also everyone's expectation.

As a result, not only perms, hair growth, beards, wearing high heels, pointed shoes, and new clothing, these "fashionable" before the "four olds" have all recovered. The "photographic wind" is also blowing irrepressibly.

Photographic technology has been invented for nearly 200 years, and people have taken pictures before and since. What is different this time is that there are two main popular groups in society. In addition to true photography enthusiasts, there is also a kind of love affair.

People who love photography technology know the equipment itself very carefully, and they know all the functions very well. They take everything, and the photos they take work well, although many are amateurs. But there are often many masters among them, with a level comparable to that of professionals.

For example, that month, the whole capital was talking about a photography exhibition in Zhongshan Park entitled "Nature, Society, People", organized by a non-governmental group called "April Photography Society". It is these photography enthusiasts who have opened the way for private art activities in the new era.

And people who are in love are completely different. It is the season of spring and the revival of all things. Two people travel together to enjoy the sunshine and life is one. The main thing is to pull the wind.

This kind of vanity is not only reflected in the photos, but also when I look back at it, I have been there, and I have left beautiful photos to live up to my youth. At the same time, it can also prove that we have a private camera, and we buy film to shoot casually, in exchange for the envy of others.

In fact, the greatest enjoyment is still taking the moment when taking pictures. At that time, male and female lovers often had a tacit understanding and liked to find a place with many people to take pictures.

The woman was dressed beautifully, holding a scarf in her hand and posing gracefully, and the man was busy with the camera again. Not to mention how decent this process is.

This is because at that time, people had to focus on taking pictures by hand, and the cameras were generally large and wore cowhide covers. The sparkling in the sun is like a small steel cannon.

Whether you are taking pictures of men or women, it feels basically the equivalent of a couple of lovers driving a luxury car on the road today. It will inevitably attract envious glances and discussions. Who can not be beautiful?

As long as you pay attention, don't get too nervous, and climb up and down unscrupulously for the sake of framing, then there will be no such disappointments as falling or falling overboard.

It has the same popular conduction power as "bell bottoms" and "photographic style". There is also "guitar fever" and "dancing fever".

Soon after Teresa Teng became popular, Taiwanese campus songs that rose in the 70s came in again.

Compared with Teresa Teng's softness, campus songs are more fresh, easy, homely, and heart-to-heart. For a time, "Childhood", "Olive Tree", "Grandma's Penghu Bay", and "Walking on the Country Road" were widely sung.

In addition, the Yunnan Educated Youth Incident that broke out at the end of 1978 prompted the upper echelons of the country to change the policy of educated youth, opening the way for returning to the city. By the beginning of this year, many young people had returned to their hometowns after a long absence.

So, before the relationship is done, before the job is found. Many of these young people who have nothing to do are focusing on a guitar.

At that time, there were no professional teaching materials and teachers. Not many people know how to do it, and the skills are all passed on by word of mouth, self-exploration and mutual learning.

It is difficult for people today to imagine the enthusiasm of people to learn the piano at that time, which was not an antidote to the boring life. It is a necessity of life.

Because without a guitar, these young people who have nothing to do will be full of irritability and loneliness, and it is a guitar that gives them confidence and the opportunity to prove that they are better than others.

At that time, it was characterized by the admiration of masters, the need for technological innovation, and the strong thirst for new knowledge. So there are many people who practice the piano for twelve hours a day, and no one cares if they play the piano until their hands break, and it is almost certain that every string is hung with the blood of the owner.

And due to the lack of space, most young people who practice the piano choose to practice in the park. and they are all at the age of strong blood, so it will inevitably lead to the wind of "ballast qin".

As the name suggests, the "ballast qin" is similar to the "ballast frame", the only difference is that the winner is decided by the skill of the qin, and whoever loses must give the qin to the other party and act as its trophy. Of course, not everyone is disciplined. So in the end, after the "ballast", it was followed by the "ballast".

It is not difficult to explain why rock 'n' roll began to rise in the capital in the 80s. The nineties folk songs and certain bands easily broke the dreary musical atmosphere of the whole country, creating a bunch of musical myths.
