中國老百姓休閑方式50年巨變

1950s－1970s: Simple entertainment

　　上世紀(jì)50－70年代：娛樂匱乏

During this period, leisure life was more spartan than today. Children’s games such as shuttlecock, hopscotch, reading picture-story books and playing marbles were popular. Leisure activities for adults included reading books and newspapers, watching theatrical performances and listening to the radio.

　　When holidays came, there were Yangko and stilt shows with people eager to participate. Among leisure activities of the time, singing songs in a low voice was perhaps the most common. Songs like “My Motherland” and “Lapping Waves of Honghu Lake” were favorites.

　　這一時(shí)期，中國人的休閑方式簡單而單調(diào)。踢毽子、跳房子、看小人書、打玻璃彈珠是小孩子們常玩的游戲。大人們則是讀書看報(bào)、聽?wèi)?、聽廣播等。

　　過節(jié)時(shí)人們還會(huì)參加扭秧歌、踩高蹺等表演。自己小聲哼唱革命歌曲可以說是當(dāng)時(shí)最普遍的休閑方式。
