I was one of the so called "Intelligent Youth" for 2 years. For tracing the old memory, we old classmate in the middle school went to Jining city in a weekend of December. Here, I put some photos for remember of that trip.

When I got the old village, I found it changed totally. I could not find any impression I got in 1968 to 1970. Of course it is changed totally. I had to ask local people to find some old farmers there

Finally I found Guichen who was one of my best friend then but she could not know me. Even when I told her who I was, she replied:"Yes, I can know your voice, but can never recognize you when we met at a street.."

Guizhen is one year older than me and she bacam a grandma several years ago. We took photos for memory for ever!

Time really flies! I don't want say anything about that cray time during so called "Cultural Revolution". However, youth is so nice and growing up needs hardship. I never regret that I could once be a farmer and lived in the country with the real farmers. That benefits all my life!
