# Youth narrative in the gears of time
From watching "Journey to the West" in front of the black and white TV, to the youthful confession behind the mask during SARS; from cycling on the campus cinder track, to typing on the keyboard late at night in the cubicle. Taking the group born in 1980-1989 as a microcosm, it depicts their growth trajectory in the wave of the times. In the memory of the protagonist Chen Mo, there are the boiled eggs that his father used to warm in a tin lunch box, the little book he and his friends found in the demolition ruins, and the shock of touching a big brother. The restructuring of state-owned enterprises, the expansion of university enrollment, and the rise of the Internet are all imprints of the times that are engraved in his life. The alley turned into a high-rise building, the BP machine turned into a smartphone, and he changed from an ideal boy to a pragmatic adult. This is an epic of personal growth and the collective memory of the times. Objects such as food stamps and tapes, as well as stories of struggle, are all brought to life in words. Let us follow the protagonist, retravel the path of youth born in the 1980s, and explore the unique mark of the times.
