Old Times in Games
by Zhao Dong
About This Novel
This was a special era of material scarcity. Children rarely had ready-made toys, so people would make all the fun things they could see and touch into homemade game toys. A piece of thick iron wire can be made into an iron ring that covers the ground; a piece of elm wood can be cut into a spinning top; a few feathers and a few coins can be made into a shuttlecock that flies up and down; a few stone tiles and some mud can be used to build a city. Castle Camp allows children to attack and defend at will... Writer Zhao Dong uses delicate and warm writing to introduce us to the games that belonged to their era, telling the stories behind each game, showing the unique style and flavor of those special eras.

It's really beautiful. I can't help but recall my carefree childhood. At that time, I would argue with my friends over trivial matters while playing games, proudly show off my proud things with my friends, and spend that leisurely and carefree time with my friends. I would run around and play games with my friends for 10 minutes during the short breaks. Even after class, they would continue after class. Everyone would play games while eating the snacks that cost a few cents a pack. From time to time, they would steal other people's snacks as a prank and laugh. But now I can no longer find that feeling. Every time I go out to play, even if I hold a KFC McDonald's in my hand, I still can't find that feeling of childhood. I really miss my carefree childhood💐🌾
