A silver dollar in a Chinese class in the 1960s.

The full text of the one-dollar silver dollar is as follows:

"At that time, I was in the fifth grade of primary school. One morning, the workers who built the school playground dug up silver dollars from the soil. I remember that the school first asked the workers to evacuate immediately, and then suspended classes in the fifth grade, so that all students went to the playground site to find silver dollars.

In that closed era, we only know that the silver dollar is the money of the past, but what is its value? I don't know anything about it, but I think it's fun to dig a "big shovel" from the soil! ? The students opened their eyes wide and groped in the soil with their little hands ... When they found a piece, they handed it to the teacher excitedly.

Later, I heard that hundreds of silver dollars were found that day. Before school was over at noon, the headmaster and the dean of education suddenly walked into the classroom. The headmaster said with a dignified face: the school found that eighteen silver dollars were missing! It is suspected that some students are secretly hiding.

"ah! who is it? How can you do such a thing? " Everyone was very surprised. So, under the order of the class teacher, the class cadres searched all the students: desks, schoolbags, clothes and even shoes and socks? The last silver dollar was not found, which means that the thief who stole the silver dollar is not from our class! The students are all relieved.

Years later, it suddenly occurred to me. I don't feel right! Burying gold and silver in the ground may be a panic, or it may be to avoid gangsters and thieves ... I can imagine the panic at that time ... it's not too late to count. And a few years later, the school leaders actually knew that 18 was missing? It is just "using the evil heart of adults to kill the pure belly of children."

People's living standards in the 1960s.

In the 1960s, their living standard was far lower than that of today. Take shopping as an example. As long as we have enough money in hand, it is convenient to buy anything we want. Even if you can't buy it in a physical store, you can buy it online.

However, in the 1960s when the planned economy was implemented, the supply of commodities was extremely scarce. In order to ensure the balance between supply and demand, the state planned to supply urban and rural residents with necessities such as food and clothing, and distributed special shopping vouchers such as food stamps and cloth tickets according to the population. Therefore, at that time, we all pursued the frugality of food and clothing, and we dared not waste a penny of our hard-earned money.

Especially those families with many children, the living standard is even worse. In this case, a dollar at that time was as important to most families as a hundred dollars now. After all, the purchasing power of a dollar at that time was not as good as that of a dollar now.
