The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Shoes play an important role in everyone's life.

Time passes, time keeps marks, and the development of history witnesses the change of shoes.

The variations of the four generations of my family's shoes reflect the great changes in the economic and social development of the motherland and the life of the people in their hometown.

My grandparents were born in 20s.

In order to make a living, grandfather was a child laborer at the age of fourteen, because he was poor without shoes, and burned with hot iron filings when he was working.

Grandmother had no money to buy shoes, so she used black cloth to nail on boards and made them.

My parents were born after liberation.

When a mother was a child, she studied barefoot and dreamed of having a pair of rubber shoes. Later, the conditions were slightly better, and she only wore hand made thousand layers.

My father also wore a pair of yellow shoes to read cards because he was away from school.

I was born in 70s.

From the beginning of the diary, she wore the thousand layers of the mother's floor. Later, she went to primary school and wore military shoes. The shoes were made of rubber and canvas. They looked very rustic, but they were very strong.

When I was in junior high school, my uncle who was working in the field sent me a pair of white shoes. The joy at that time was not due to the appearance of the red meat that was awarded by the mother.

After 90s, with the rapid development of the national economy and the improvement of the family's economic conditions, I had leather shoes.

Today, my next generation of shoes, which are both colorful, styling novelty.

The red casual shoes are embroidered with Altman's war monster; the white sneakers, with their lights on their heels, wear a flash.

Cotton shoes, roller skates, leather sandals, basketball shoes, football shoes, high shoes, slimming shoes, and more and more kinds of shoes, the function of shoes is more and more strange.

The four generation, the four generation of shoes and shoe variations not only witnessed the changes in the lives of the writers, but also witnessed the earth shaking changes in the country.
