I was born in the 1980s. At that time, TV was not popular, and it was black and white. My family happened to be relatively poor, so we were the last family to have black and white TVs, but this did not affect our family’s understanding of world events. , because we have a radio in our house, she is very large in size, made of wood, with big knobs, FM, medium wave, short wave three bands, at the same time she has a super long metal rod antenna and crisp sound quality, she is the deepest in my childhood ‘s memories.
At that time, the country’s electricity was not abundant, so the power was often cut off at home, especially in the first month of the New Year, almost every night for 2-3 hours. Every night our whole family sat on the kang and ate in a circle. At the highlight moment of the radio, she not only brings good programs, but also the most cutting-edge information. The most important thing is that we should put the kerosene lamp on it. At this time, the radio is playing the program that our whole family likes-Mr. Shan Tianfang The storytelling broadcasts, such as Bai Mei Daxia, Gan Jiumei, etc. all make me reminisce. Now I want to come to Mr. Shan’s most impressive words – If you want to know what will happen next, let’s listen to the next breakdown!
There is also a program that my sister and I must listen to, which is a song every Monday. This program is at 7:15 every morning. At that time, I listened to it while having breakfast. When I heard a song I liked, I immediately found a pen and paper to dictate the lyrics. To this day, I still remember that the song you were at the same table had to dictate a few times before it was fully dictated. After I finished it, I would transcribe it into the lyrics book. I was always the first in the class to dictate the lyrics of a new popular song completely. People, because I love to sing, and the most important thing is that new songs are released faster on the radio than on TV, and when those songs were still on mtv, the radio played this song dozens of times. On the days when the teacher did not give us classes on time, the class often became my personal concert. I gave my beloved lyrics to my classmates, they could order whatever they wanted. I sang every song very proficiently, so my classmates The question that is often asked me is — isn’t this song just released, how did you learn it so quickly? Haha, how can these guys who only watch TV every day understand the charm of radio?
When I think back to my childhood, I think the radio is my best friend like my sister. Those music, radio dramas, and news enrich our spiritual world without overloading with information. Favorite shows always have to wait to appear. Those slow old times are like a song filled with the texture of the years, which makes people memorable.
Today, 30 years later, many people may not even know that there are portable pocket radios. Many electronic products are equipped with FM functions, such as mobile phones, Bluetooth speakers, etc., but the two bands of medium wave and short wave are It cannot be attached. In many emergency disaster situations, the radio is the fastest tool for understanding environmental information. For example, mobile phones rely heavily on base station signals or Wi-Fi. FM on mp3 and Bluetooth speakers is only suitable for urban areas. In remote mountainous areas, only Only medium wave and short wave have signals.
In the years when I was selling radios, I also hesitated. After all, he is really a bit rustic and a bit old. We live in Shenzhen, an international metropolis, and we mix with the Internet giants BAT. Should we do something more technologically? The product? But every time I get some kind of feedback from customers, I get a lot of it. An American customer said, I gave this radio to my 90-year-old grandma with bad eyes. She doesn’t know how to operate complex electronic products, but this radio is instantly linked to the world as long as the battery is turned on. Another client said she bought a radio to give to people with amnesia who can’t remember complicated things, but the radio allows them to link to current information at any time. Whenever I receive these feedbacks, I am very emotional – the most primitive and simple things are often the most powerful, even the most vulnerable people have the need to connect with the world, and I am honored to provide these people with this Simple and powerful tools, when I think of these, I suddenly have a deep sense of mission. The mission of the Internet giants is probably to make the strong stronger, and to keep the strong strong, and all I can do is to make them in crisis. and people in distress feel safe when they need it, feel connected, In this way, little people can change the world, as simple as we can make links everywhere!
