12、s about the life in the old days, thank you!Q：Its my pleasure!为了了解过去中国的生活是什么样的，我在学校的小公园里采访了一位 60 多岁的老爷爷。问：您好，很高兴见到您，谢谢您能够接受我的采访。答：认识你也很高兴。问：你看起来大概 60 岁左右对吗？您能不能跟我讲一下人们用自行车最多是在什么时候呢？答：当然。我出生于 1953 年，今年都 61 岁了。事实上，中国在过去被称为“自行车王国”呢。我记得我的姥爷告诉我自行车是在 19 世纪后期引进中国的。在六、七十年代，那时候我还年轻，自行车和缝纫机、手表是年轻人结婚必备的“三大件” 。

13、自行车真正流行起来是在 80 年代，那个时候自行车是最重要、最普遍的交通工具，出名的牌子有“永久” 、 “凤凰” 、 “飞鸽” 。那个时候上下班高峰期自行车流非常壮观，中国也因此被称为“自行车王国” 。你们现在可能体会不到那种感觉，但是在那个时候拥有一辆自行车是让人非常羡慕嫉妒的，特别是我们年轻人。问：但是那个时候一辆自行车肯定很贵对吧？答：那是肯定的！一辆自行车要 200 块钱左右，而那个时候人们的工资只有十几、几十块。所以自行车很珍贵。问：嗯，那公交车呢，公交车什么时候出现？今天的公交车跟你们年轻时候的比起来又怎么样呢？答：哈尔滨的公交应该是在 50 年代发展起来吧。我年轻的时候，公交还不

14、是很普及，只有几条线路投入运行。而且，公交车的环境和状况跟如今的比起来都很差。问：嗯，那您 20 岁、30 岁、40 岁的时候生活是怎样的呢?随着您的年长，日常生活有哪些变化呢？答：我 20 岁的时候，印象最深刻的是你买任何东西都需要票或者证。因为所有东西的数量是有国家按人口规定好的，所以即使你有钱你也买不了很多。像酒，你要拿着证去供销社买。如果你还想要的话，你就要借其他人的证去买。因为每家酒的数量是一定的，但是有的人家舍不得买。后来个体商户出现了而且越来越多，就可以拿钱买任何想要的东西。自从改革开放政策的实行，我们的生活变得越来越丰富多彩。问：您能给我讲讲当高楼大厦建起来的时候生活发生了哪些改变吗？答：嗯.事实上，高楼大厦并没有给我们的生活带来很大影响。刚开始，我们看到可能会感叹会迷惑，但是后来慢慢就习惯了。你看现在到处都是高楼林立。问：那对于过去的日子有哪些是您非常怀念的，哪些是不怎么怀念的呢？答：嗯.要说怀念的话，应该是怀念过去人们的淳朴善良吧，而且那时候人们也更加勤劳勇敢。但是我更享受现在的高品质生活，完善的医疗体系，多样的娱乐活动，便利的公共交通等等，这些都是过去不能比的。你要知道过去的生活很艰苦。问：是的，肯定比现在要苦。好的，非常感谢您抽出时间接受采访，通过您的讲述我对以前的生活知道了更多细节，谢谢！答：不用谢，很高兴能帮到你。
