Tianjin is an ordinary city in China. What is unusual is that it is a municipality directly under the Central Government. I was born in Tianjin, an ordinary post-80s citizen, I have no unusual place. Not only was I born in Tianjin, but I also grew up in Tianjin. I never left Nankai District (One of the six administrative districts in the center of Tianjin) since I was a child. As a generation born in the 1980s, I have seen and felt the development and changes of Tianjin in the past 40 years. As a member of this era of rapid change, I do not comment, only say feelings. We after 80 s generation, childhood experience that need with rice tickets, meat tickets and fry oil tickets to qualify queuing buy winter coal, Chinese cabbage, s buy non-staple foods, in supermarkets and food market today is everywhere, everyone can be enough to buy plenty of food and clothing, Tianjin in common people material life enriched the ways do have improved significantly. But to speak of the past Tianjin's brilliance, seagull watches famous at home and abroad, flying pigeon bicycle selling hot throughout China, 1958 the first 712 factory television was born, yellow car and red Xiali car in the country known, and then look at today's Tianjin, seems to be very lonely. Fortunately, Tianjin people have a comedic personality gene. No matter how things develop, they always laugh happily. I am a real grassroots, no background ordinary citizens, in this book, I can only describe some of the ordinary stories of small citizens, no lofty feelings, but may arouse some resonance. The 100 photos are the 100 city life memories of a post-80s Chinese citizen. There are neither thrilling plots nor profound metaphors. I think the meaning of their existence may be true. Just like the grass on a city street or the wild flower in a city corner, there seems to be no other meaning of existence except reality. I would be honored if a sentence from this book touched your heart. Friends from all over the world can also have a look at the urban life of contemporary Chinese citizens with these photos, and see what kind of life ordinary people are living in that prosperous ancient Oriental country on the other side of the world. I try to recall and recall these fragments of life, but also hope that this constantly changing era, the city of Tianjin, do not forget us.Guangyue Xing
