neighborhood volunteers always happy to drop some knowledge

while i was in the neighborhood (a short stop before i crossed the bridge into Mentougou on my trip two weekends ago to Lugouqiao on my bike) they told me…1960-63, they were about 12 years old, people couldn’t get enough to eat but they were still positive, they were tired to death from hard labor, but they were still upbeat, people today should learn from this spirit the people had back then.

吃不饱饭,还是乐观,
累得要命,还是乐..
要学这种精神.

今天找个农民日报,可能里面会有这张照片..

    80年前生的中国人百分之90吃不饱
    就连现在,还有10%中国人在温饱线以下

    I didn’t have enough to eat when I was little. Nonetheless, I was very happy cause nobody forced me to study and everyday was a holiday to me.
