Technology never stops, and so does mass entertainment. Familiar music formats: MP4, MP3, CD, video formats: MPG4, MPG2, EDVD, DVD, VCD, these may not be unfamiliar to everyone, music and video have developed from analog recording to digital, and today's extensive Internet sharing and Downloading, and even the Internet of Everything, how exciting. But in another era, none of these existed, tapes became a luxury music in their hearts, and a dual-card tape recorder became a big dream in their lives.

    In the early 1980s, when a Sanyo portable tape recorder was placed in the square, it was enough to attract a hundred people to watch. The fashionable youth with flared trousers and sunglasses, and the disco twisting action started, it was difficult to hold the scene. A recorder like this is already a symbol of prosperity. I remember that when I was still in junior high school, my eldest cousin brought a Sanyo tape recorder when he came to his hometown. When it was played on the cool platform in Xiushan, the audience was boiling with envy!

    Found an online video to relive this feeling:

    Talking about things that are too old, it must be incomprehensible to the younger generation today, and it is also incredible. But when we were young, it did bring a lot of beauty.

    I am a music lover. From the beginning of junior high school to the university stage, I have to save my money and also collect my favorite music, so I have the following memories:

    Here are some of my tapes, not all of them are on display. When I think of Cheng Lin, I think of "The Little Cradle of My Childhood", when I think of Zhu Xiaolin, I think of "Wind and Rain", when I think of Teresa Teng, I think of "Sweet Honey", when I think of Zhang Minming, I think of "My Chinese Heart", and when I think of Yang Lin, I think of "Glass" "Heart", when I think of Qian Baihui, I think of "When I Miss You", when I think of Jiang Yuheng, I think of "The Heart of the Station", and Zhang Xing's "Late", Alan Tam's "Monica", too many. .....
 

    The "People's Dream" Guitar Song in the picture above is my favorite guitar collection, and Carpenter's was my favorite English song at the time. Because of the dream of a guitar, like the cover of the tape above, I took a silhouette of a guitar in the dormitory, but it was unbearable to see, it was difficult to be seen, and it was not preserved. Music is so loving.
 

    If you have never seen a recording deck or heard the music effect of a tape, you can watch the video below, which is already considered a high-quality sound effect. Living in the moment, listening to stereo music above 128 kbit, everyone is content
 

    In the picture above, there is a tape called "88 Trends", and there is a song I love. In the era of flying youth, I always like some thinking music. This is one of the "Answer to Life", which expresses the dialogue and thinking of an old man and a young man. At that time, I found a few friends who like guitar, and also invited a girl from another department (from the school art troupe) to help chorus, and wrote the guitar ensemble score by myself (three guitars in total), and completed a work, although the creation is a bit immature , but it is worth cherishing and memorizing.

    In short, everyone will have hobbies in life and stories of youth, which are all over the place. Tapes and music have filled me with optimism about life, and at the same time, I have become more calm and thoughtful.
