In Shehong, I traveled back to the 70s and 80s in a second

In the 3536 third-tier city of Shehong, it felt like I stepped into the TV dramas 'Golden Marriage', 'Parents' Love', 'Moses on the Plain', and 'The Long Season'. The retro and nostalgic atmosphere wasn't just a studio trend, it was restored with great care, making me feel as if I had walked into the real-life scenes of the past. Even for someone like me who enjoys browsing through vintage shops and second-hand markets, there were many items I had never seen before. Beneath these strong filters of the era lies a history that many in front of the screen may not be familiar with. How China moved from being relatively backward to becoming prosperous is something we've only learned about from history textbooks, and the hardships involved are hard to explain in just a few pages. Some matters from the past were also difficult to discuss due to their classified nature. Relying on the old factory buildings of the original 3536 third-tier military industrial complex, I became curious about that part of history which is both familiar and strange to me.
