My girlfriend is from 1949

This feeling of disorientation is like a journey to another world.

They suddenly found themselves in a backward place, having come from an extremely modern world.

That feeling of disorientation made me feel very complicated.

Lin Wan was only immersed in the moment before she came to her senses.

I understand this feeling now; I know what it means.

In modern times, I surf the internet every day and learn a lot of information.

At the same time, we also understand the ideas and perspectives of modern netizens.

For example, everyone wants to travel to North Korea to experience the local culture and lifestyle.

Look at the ordinary people on the street, those wearing navy blue clothes.

Take a ride on an old-fashioned public bus.

Admire the architecture on the street, which is comparable to that of China in the 1970s and 80s.

That feeling of disorientation was like embarking on a time-traveling journey.

It felt like stepping back into the 1970s and 80s from the modern world.

What I actually like isn't how fun it is, but the nostalgia in my heart.

It is a longing for the past.

Lin Wan stood at the entrance of Zhongshan Park, looking at familiar things.

Involuntarily, I recalled the time I visited this place with my parents.

This feeling was especially profound after returning from three years of life-or-death trials.

There is nostalgia, and also the感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection) of returning after a brush with death.

"Comrade, could you please take a picture for us?"

You can just press here.

Yes, this is the place.

Let's take two more pictures later, just to be on the safe side.

Thank you for your trouble, comrade.

Lin Yu-chou stopped a staff member and politely asked for help taking a photo.

Since the family is finally reunited, it's only natural to take a family photo.

Although we are now liberated and no longer have to live in fear and anxiety.

But my sister will eventually have to go back to Shanghai, and I don't know when we'll be able to visit the park together again.

Since it's difficult for the whole family to get together now, we naturally want to take photos to commemorate the occasion.

Moreover, after a few months of adjustment, I've now gotten used to being called "comrade."

The staff member was very helpful and took the camera to help take pictures.

Perhaps because of my job, I receive many visitors here every day, and I occasionally help people take photos.

So when I got the camera, a look of surprise flashed in my eyes.

"This camera is great! I've never seen this kind of Leica camera before!"

You could tell from his tone that he was an expert.

You can find the latest updated chapters of this book by searching "Deqi Novel Network" on Bing!

At least in terms of cameras, I've seen a lot.

So with just a simple reminder, you'll know how to operate it.

Lin Yuzhou rarely encountered someone knowledgeable in this field, so he started talking non-stop.

After all, cameras were a rarity in this day and age.

Even after 2000, most households still did not have cameras.

It's not that they don't exist; on the contrary, they're sold openly in shopping malls, and there are plenty!

It's just that the price is too high, so I can't bring myself to buy it.

When a family goes out for a trip, they usually borrow money from friends.

Moreover, there are usually photo-taking services available in parks.

Therefore, cameras are not very useful for ordinary people.

In other words, mobile phones now have camera functions and also feature social media displays.

That's why ordinary people, from those in their seventies and eighties to those in their twelfth and thirteens, like to take photos and post them on social media.

Twenty years ago, who would take pictures of the food in front of them while eating?

Not only do you have to pay to have the photos developed, but they also end up sitting in an album untouched.

Even if I find it again in the future, I won't look at it again.

Even among modern people, after taking photos of their meals and posting them on social media, who actually looks back at those photos after a while?

In other words, since the phone has a built-in camera function, why not take a picture?

The addition of social media sharing on WeChat Moments made photography popular.

Otherwise, even in the 80s, people would only pay to take photos when traveling or visiting famous historical sites.

In 1949, cameras were even rarer items.

Aside from wealthy families, only journalists had cameras.

Lin Yuzhou got his hands on the latest imported camera and naturally wanted to show it off to someone.

Otherwise, what's the difference between this and traveling in fine clothes at night?

And if you want to show off, you have to find someone knowledgeable about it.

Otherwise, it would be like casting pearls before swine!

Now that we've finally found someone knowledgeable, we naturally want to talk at length about it, and our attitude is incredibly enthusiastic!

The staff were at a loss for words.

With the help of the staff, the family took a group photo next to the lawn at the park entrance.

Take a picture of the parents, a picture of the parents and daughter, and a picture of the aunt and nephew.

As the camera flashed, the whole family took photos to commemorate the occasion.

Then we went to the lake, where the family rented a boat to cruise the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

Unfortunately, boat tours were banned starting in 2021.

The family sat on the boat, enjoying the beautiful scenery around them, eating the food they had brought, and savoring a rare and happy time.

Lin Wan raised her head, feeling the gentle breeze on her face, and felt more relaxed than ever before.

This is the only time I can finally have a rare holiday and rest.

"Why are those two ships always hovering around us?"

Suddenly, Lin Yuzhou's puzzled voice rang out.

About ten meters apart, two tour boats were hovering around, which caught his attention.

Normally, I might not even notice it.

But today is the first time I've taken photos with a new camera.

So after boarding the ship, I kept taking photos.

They naturally pay special attention to their surroundings.

From the moment they started rowing, there were two other boats nearby, constantly bobbing around them.

That's why it attracted attention.

Lin Moqing glanced at it and said nonchalantly, "The lake doesn't belong to us. What's the big deal if other people are boating on it?"

Lin Wan also explained with a smile, "It's the weekend, everyone's out having fun. Isn't it normal for people to go boating? Look at that boat on the right, there's a young couple on it. Isn't it normal for them to go boating on a date?"

Although he was explaining, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Others may not know what's going on, but I know it all too well.

Those on both ships were naturally soldiers from the guard regiment.

Following the surroundings also helps prevent the boat from capsizing and allows for immediate rescue.

Naturally, we should help them get away with it.

After listening to the explanation, Lin Yuzhou thought about it carefully and realized it made sense, so he didn't think about it any further.

After all, he was just an ordinary person who was only being extra careful for his own safety.

It's the weekend, and there are many people visiting the park. There are also quite a few boats on the lake.

It's normal for everyone to take the same route.

It was only because he had some wealth that he was worried about criminals, so he was extra cautious.

Now that I've heard the explanation, I'm not going to think about it anymore.

The family continued their lake tour, and on the way, they even had lunch on the boat.

Although there was no staple food, the braised dishes that Lin Wan brought from the modern world satisfied our appetites.

In particular, the abundance of modern seasonings allows the whole family to enjoy a delicious meal.

Even just duck intestines and duck gizzards, these offal dishes, taste much better than roast duck from a fancy restaurant.

After the boat trip, the group watched a play at an open-air theater.

Lin Moqing is a theater enthusiast and watched with great interest.

However, since it's a holiday today, there are a lot of tourists.

Among them are many veteran opera fans.

In addition, the weather was relatively cool today, so it was already packed with people, three or four layers deep.

Even if you can only sit in a very back position, and you can only listen while standing.

In the past, given Lin Moqing's status and position, she would definitely have sat in the front row and enjoyed tea and snacks.

As long as you're willing to spend money, you can enjoy special privileges.

However, now that we have been liberated, the new government is promoting equality.

So even the wealthy can only stand obediently at the back.

They wouldn't dare to rely on their status and position to boss people around and demand front-row seats.

Besides, he's just a factory owner with some savings.

In this capital city, in terms of status and position, he was nothing.

Lin Moqing was able to preserve this business amidst the chaos of war, which naturally shows his ability.

How could we not see the current situation clearly?

After a few months, I have adapted to my new lifestyle.

Standing at the back watching the show, he had a cheerful expression on his face, without the slightest dissatisfaction.

Moreover, because he was focused on watching the play, he didn't even notice a suspicious-looking young man approaching him.

A long pair of tweezers silently slipped into the pocket and pulled out a wad of banknotes.

Lin Moqing didn't like using a money bag, so he always put his banknotes directly in his pockets.

I was so engrossed in watching the play that I didn't even notice my money was being stolen.

The thief should slowly retract the tweezers into his sleeve.

Suddenly, a strong hand grabbed my wrist.

He roared angrily, "Thief!"

Lin Yuzhou's voice was very loud, even drowning out the voices of the opera singers above.

The word "thief" is especially sensitive to everyone.

Those around immediately and instinctively covered their pockets.

He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his valuables were still on him.

They all turned their gazes toward the direction from which the sound came.

A man wearing a fitted shirt and with a refined appearance was seen grabbing one wrist and raising it high.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the tweezers in his hand and a stack of banknotes were clearly visible.

They immediately exclaimed, "A thief! It's a thief!"

Although we are now liberated, the government is cracking down on crime.

All those gangs from the past have been banned.

The ringleader, whose crimes were heinous, was dragged away and shot to establish his authority.

Some crimes that did not warrant the death penalty were sentenced to imprisonment.

On the surface, society has entered a period of peace and tranquility.

However, the period of liberation was too short, and even though the gangs were banned, not everyone reformed.

Many of them had been involved in gangs since childhood.

Even if these people are given new jobs, their nature is hard to change.

Forming cliques and behaving eccentrically are perfectly normal occurrences.

Let alone 1949, even after the crackdown in the 1980s and 90s.

People still commit crimes in private.

Theft gangs are still impossible to eradicate.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be special anti-pickpocket squads targeting thieves.

If the entry requirements are low, many lazy people will take the risk.

And these former gang members in Beiping naturally had even more trash.

Parks, theaters, hospitals, and train stations are all favorite targets for pickpockets.

Now that a pickpocket has been caught, people are not so surprised after the initial shock.

When Lin Moqing saw her son catch a thief, she instinctively rummaged through her clothes.

He exclaimed angrily, "That damned bastard! He actually stole from me!"

Back in the day, this man was a big shot in Beijing.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to protect their vast family fortune.

Now that I'm older, my temper has become much gentler.

Today, someone stole my money, and I was immediately shocked and furious, feeling utterly humiliated.

He angrily ordered, "Yuzhou, take him to the police station!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in his forties with a small mustache stepped forward.

He chuckled and said, "Since he didn't steal any money, let's just let it go."

They appeared to be offering advice, but anyone with eyes could see that the two were in cahoots.

These kinds of thieves usually operate in gangs.

If you catch one, you'll definitely find accomplices around them.

Now that they see their accomplices have been arrested, they immediately try to smooth things over.

In general, even if people catch a thief, as long as they get their valuables back, they can usually manage.

With some people persuading them, they were allowed to leave.

After all, nobody wants to provoke a bunch of scoundrels.

The gangs were just banned, and these people all came from the era when gangs ran rampant.

They knew all too well how terrible it was to mess with gang members.

At best, it will disrupt the peace of the household; at worst, it will result in being beaten, maimed, or killed!

So deep down, I'm still afraid.

If it were an ordinary person, they might have given up after being persuaded by others.

But Lin Yuzhou wouldn't agree, and he dared not disobey his own father.

He said in a deep voice, "He stole in broad daylight; he must be punished!"

After saying that, he used his arm to pull the caught thief to the management office.

The man in his forties, his face grim, cursed, "You shameless wretch!"

He grabbed Lin Yuzhou's arm, intending to help his accomplice escape.

Lin Yuzhou may look gentle and refined, but he has trained since childhood.

She was agile and handled the punches of the two thieves with ease.

He even punched a man in his forties, straightening his nose and causing it to bleed.

He could take on two opponents at once and hold his own.

Just then, the caught thief gripped the tweezers tightly and forcefully stabbed Lin Yuzhou in the waist from behind.

The tweezers have extremely sharp tips; if you get pricked, the damage can be just as bad as a knife wound.

If not handled properly, it could kill someone!

In a desperate situation, the thief was about to take a life.

Just as the thief was about to be stabbed in the lower back, a foot wearing a calfskin shoe kicked him in the waist.

Precisely, the kick landed on the liver.

Lin Wan watched Xu Dongyang teach Chen Huai'an martial arts every day, and her skills improved accordingly.

The kick was both accurate and vicious, making the thief's face turn pale with pain.

Upon seeing this, three other accomplices in the crowd drew their daggers and prepared to help.

He had only taken two steps when he was suddenly pinned to the ground by a figure.

The dagger in his hand was snatched away in an instant.

The movements were professional, and the situation was brought under control in an instant.

The 40-year-old man and the thief were both firmly controlled by two burly men.

Even when restrained, he continued to shout and threaten, "Who are you? Let me go! Do you know who I am?"

One of the young men, dressed in a blue shirt, proudly declared, "We are enthusiastic citizens of Chaoyang District!"

Forehead…….

Lin Wan's expression turned strange upon hearing this address.
