Recently, two middle-aged people who grew up in military dependents villages recounted their childhood memories because they watched the first issue of "Guoguang Help" about the military village cultural festival. When I was a child, I wouldn't go hungry even if my parents didn't go home. I peeked at a girl taking a bath but only saw her father because I didn't have the money to go to the bookstore to steal books. One person said that there are almost only two paths for children in military dependents villages: either to be hooligans or to join the army. But in the unfortunate event that he did not do well in the army, he could only be a hooligan when he retired from the army and returned home. The only way out of fate is to study.
Although I was laughing while watching it, I still felt bitter after laughing. Today, the military village has disappeared. Only festivals like the Military Village Cultural Festival are left to reminisce about the past and get together with old people.
While listening to their stories, I thought of "Guling Street". I used to think that this story was just invented by the screenwriter to make people cry. Listening to the stories of those from the military village, I found that their childhoods were so similar.
