Looking Back on the Past and Looking Forward to the Future

Short Stories for the 100th Anniversary of the Founding of the Party: Looking back at the past and looking forward to the future Author: Su Wenqi When we are tired of the pressure of life and in an era of economic growth and materialistic desires, can we still remember our patriotic beliefs or contemporary missions? With the passage of time, the small seedling a hundred years ago has grown into a towering tree, but who can still understand the violent storm that the seedling experienced? In that era of material poverty, even black-and-white photos were a luxury for ordinary families. We can only get a glimpse of the ups and downs of those years by listening to the oral stories passed down by the older generation. So every time during the summer vacation, when I returned to my grandma's house, I would spend my free time under the big tree enjoying the shade and listening to them repeatedly recounting those hard and pure years.
