Dafun Village was located on a plain area and was in short supply of firewood. They relied on crop straws to burn firewood all year round. Due to the lack of firewood, the children had to help pick up leaves and dig up roots since they could walk. They had to accumulate firewood and use it to burn pits in winter.
He lit a soybean oil lamp. He poured a little soybean oil into the clay lamp stand and dipped the wick made of cotton into the oil. After lighting it, there was barely a light. Even this light was reluctant to light it for a long time. Oil was really too precious. In winter, after eating, they would quickly blow out the lights. If there was anything, they would fumble around in the dark. On hot days, they would simply eat dinner in the yard outside the house and try not to light the lights.
There were no electric lights. At that time, the community had a meeting to light a kind of gas lamp. In the eyes of the people, it was already a westernized treasure. At that time, kerosene was called " foreign oil," matches were called " foreign fire," and iron nails were called " foreign nails." The countryside all made their own cloth, and the machine-made cloth was called " foreign cloth." Almost all industrial products had the word " foreign " in them, such as foreign ships, foreign buildings, foreign guns, foreign cannons, foreign cars, and so on.
When the first government personnel went to the countryside to play movies (mainly news films), they saw the shadows of living people talking in the machine. People found it unbelievable and didn't know what magical thing it was.
Although the villagers did not understand the national affairs mentioned in the news movies, as long as the higher-ups came down to play the movie, regardless of the wind or rain, the entire village, men, women, and children, all rushed to watch it.
