The Sparrows Arrive at Xiaoman in Full

Childhood is beautiful, and lies at the heart of nostalgia. The childhood of those born in the 1960s was unique. It was a period of socialist development, when the collective economy was in place. People's lives were much the same, and remained stable with few changes for a decade or two. People were cheerful, living in peace and contentment.

Children of that era inherited rich traditions and basked in the fresh breeze of science. They lived in harmony with nature, were kind to their playmates, and felt at one with the world around them.

This book tells of childhood in that era, including children's games, stories that opened young minds, school life, and amusing childhood episodes, capturing what childhood was like back then.
