At the foot of the mountain on the east side of Fenghuang Mountain, in the farmland near the road, a vacant lot has been carved out, and there is a row of bungalows, which are specially built for the intellectual youth, these intellectual youths are male and female, all from Shanghai, and are referred to as Shanghai educated youth by the locals, and this place is called the Youth Pond.

The name of Qingnian Tang comes from that special era, not only one place, the country does not know how many places are called Qingnian Tang, the big ones have towns, the small ones have villages and groups, Fengxin has a few places called Qingnian Tang, and here they are all villager groups.

Tracing the origin of intellectual youth is closely linked to the movement of "going to the mountains and going to the countryside". On October 25, 1956, the Central Committee issued the National Agricultural Development Program (Revised Draft) from 1956 to 1967, which for the first time proposed that young intellectuals go to the countryside, which has become a symbol of the beginning of the intellectuals going to the countryside.

In 1955, in order to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, Yang Hua, Li Bingheng, and other young people from Beijing proposed to the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League to reclaim land in the border areas, which was approved and encouraged by the Beijing Municipal Youth League Committee in November.

Under such historical conditions, the great man issued instructions that "the countryside is a vast world, and great achievements can be made there" and that "it is very necessary for young intellectuals to go to the countryside and receive re-education from the poor and middle peasants."

As a result, a large number of young intellectuals left the cities and were sent to settle down and work in the rural areas.

The large-scale "cutting in line" that really had an impact took place shortly after the beginning of the ***** and was closely linked to the unprecedented "Red Guard" movement. The "Red Guard" movement had a far-reaching impact, causing many earth-shattering historical events, affecting countless families and changing the fate of countless young intellectuals.

The "Red Guard" movement represented the official beginning of the *****, in just three years, resulting in the closure of schools and factories, and the students were stranded in schools, and by 1968, there was a unique scene of six classes of junior high and high school students graduating together.

In order to solve the employment problem of the "old three generations", the "queue" swept the whole country, and the number of people, the scale and the depth of influence were unprecedented in history. "Cutting in line" has become a word with special significance since then, and there is no need to mention "educated youth" or "going to the mountains and going to the countryside" when it comes to "cutting in line".

That generation of people who went abroad to study abroad was also called "foreign team", and when they came back from studying abroad, they went to the countryside to go to the farm to the unit, so they also had specific titles such as "foreign farm", "foreign corps" and "foreign cadre school".

In 1965, he was admitted to university, and the rise of the "Red Guard" movement began the *****following year, and after graduating from university in 1968, the "Red Guard" movement ended, and he was in the tide of "cutting in line".

He should also be regarded as an intellectual young man, who was finally admitted to university, and was beaten back to the countryside by the trend of the times.

I first settled in the nearby Qingshu Brigade, married my mother in Phoenix Mountain, served as a captain for a few years, and in the years when I was born, I became the principal of the newly built private primary school in the brigade, until the implementation of the policy in 1985, when I changed my identity as a farmer and became a junior high school teacher.

The bungalow of Qingnian Tang sits in the north and faces south, the blue bricks are built into relatively simple, the roof of the "person" is supported by wood to cover the tiles, there is a corridor about one meter wide in front, the east and west two ends of the room protrude from the ear room, so that the corridor is relatively closed, the ground is mud, the wall is not painted, there is no floor slab isolation on the beam, and the roof beam can be seen at a glance.

This was the standard model of collective housing in that era, whether it was the residence of the "educated youth", or the farm, the forest station, or the school, you can see similar style buildings, the conditions are better, the ground and corridors will have cement or masonry paving, and the roof will be added to the floor.

If there are a large number of people or there is a special purpose, two floors will be built, including the auditorium of the unit, including the production brigade, the teaching building of the school, and the office building of a larger institution or unit, which is generally two floors, and some have three floors.

In 1977, when the college entrance examination was resumed, many of Shanghai's intellectual youths went home to take the college entrance examination and began to leave one after another, and when the state issued a policy to allow them to return to their hometowns at the end of 1980, all the people here were gone.

In fact, as early as the year I was born, some people left one after another, for example, when I was born, I heard from my mother that several young intellectuals had already packed up their salutes and were preparing to return to Shanghai.

Such a return may be a lifetime of never seeing each other again, so when you are about to embark on the return trip, you will deliberately stay for a period of time. It also turned out that after they left, none of them ever returned.

Qingnian Tang is only a place where Shanghai's educated youths live in a concentrated manner, and there are many intellectuals who are arranged in other production teams, among whom some of them marry local youths and some marry local girls.

For example, there is a young intellectual woman in Shanghai who married a family surnamed Zhang in her village. Since then, they have lived and multiplied on this land, have families, have dragged down, the former hometown has become the hometown, the former new land has become the family home, the dream has been rebuilt, and the hope has been reborn.

When educated youths returned to their hometowns, the household contract responsibility system also began to be implemented, and the rural masses commonly referred to it as dividing the fields into households. It is a practice of stimulating the peasants' enthusiasm for production under specific historical conditions, and the peasants take the family as a unit, contract land to the collective, hand over enough land to the state, keep enough for the collective, and keep the rest for themselves.

The division of land into households has indeed stimulated the peasants' enthusiasm for production, and it seems that overnight, the dull countryside has awakened, and for a while, there is not a single idler in the countryside and not a single piece of idle land. With hard work, many families have solved the problem of food and clothing and accumulated a certain amount of savings.

The parents and the father's niece surnamed Tang, the family surnamed Wang in Hunan, and the father of the same clan who was alone, it was precisely because they had some savings that they bought one or two bungalows in Qingnian Tang from the collective, and the four families took the lead in moving down Phoenix Mountain to live in Qingnian Tang.

Since then, he has settled here, and it is not until he has made a fortune a few years later that he has left and migrated far away. Now only the "eldest sister" family lives in Qingnian Pond, but it is no longer a bungalow, but a modern villa, and the three sons of the "eldest sister" go out to wander around, accumulate rich wealth, and build a building by themselves.

My father's niece I call her "eldest sister", when the family first settled in Phoenix Mountain, there was not enough food to eat, and my father, who was the captain of the production team at that time, helped them a lot, although it was my father and niece, but the age was about the same as my mother.

I have a deep affection for the "eldest sister", and there are natural reasons for the similarity of relatives, and more because when I was a child, I received a lot of meticulous care from the "eldest sister", and the "eldest sister" and we have been neighbors for nearly 20 years, until I served in the army, this neighborhood relationship was separated.
