You can also rewind manually while listening to the song while writing lyrics
Remember the tapes from that year?
"Wow, a lot of tapes! I heard these when I was a kid." In a restaurant in Jiangbei, customers can hear this emotion almost every day.
It turned out that under the seven glass dining tables of the restaurant, there were all kinds of tapes.
The boss said that this is a youthful memory he has collected. He also hopes that while seeing the tapes touched by the years, customers are also impressed by the convenience and development of life today.
Boss: Neighbors exchange tapes
The day before yesterday, the reporter came to Fan Congming Chaoshou Hall in Tianjie Waijie, Jiangbeiyuan. There were dozens of tapes on the glass mezzanine of each table in the restaurant, which included music, stories, cross talk, teaching, etc. .
The owner of the restaurant, Li Wensheng, who is born in his 60s, said that some of these tapes were gifted by friends, and some were collected by him for many years. There are hundreds of tapes in total, which are full of youthful memories.
Li Wensheng recalled that in the mid-1980s, he had his first radio recorder. Every evening, he and his family would listen to storytelling and storytelling through the radio recorder. "It was very exciting, and when I listened, there were pictures in my mind. "Li Wensheng said that at that time, the material conditions were scarce and everyone didn’t have many tapes in their homes. They acted as "intermediaries" and ran between neighbors with tapes, exchanging tapes with them. "I’ve heard too much before. Tape, it really illuminates my life."
It is precisely because of the tapes complex when he was young that even if tapes gradually withdrew from the market later, Li Wensheng still liked to collect and collect tapes. “If you often look up the names of these tapes, you will feel very touched.” Li Wensheng said, so now he puts the tapes on his own. In the restaurant, I also hope to share the touch of the years with customers.
Customer: Remember the days when you rewind manually
Customers in the store are really concerned about these tapes. Almost every day, customers recognize names and take pictures on the tapes.
A 34-year-old customer, Ms. Yu, said that she has heard many tapes here, such as English teaching tapes and Jacky Cheung’s tapes.
Ms. Yu said that when she was in high school, she obtained a walkman, and since then she has realized the "freedom of listening to songs".
Every time after listening to English, immediately change the music tape to listen to, "The tape is divided into A and B sides, and you must turn over manually after listening."
Mr. Xie, a 32-year-old customer, said that he used a repeater to listen to the tape when he was a child, but the repeater needs a battery. Sometimes when you want to replay the highlights of the story, in order to save a little power, he manually rewinds the tape with a pencil. It’s a technical job, and you need to practice regularly, or you won’t be able to master the progress, and you may damage the tape roll."
36-year-old Jiang Yan said that listening to music on tapes was his biggest hobby when he was living in school.
But the tapes at that time often only had a list of song titles, without lyrics, so I accompanied a few beloved tapes with a handwritten songbook, "At that time it was not convenient to access the Internet, and I wrote down the lyrics while listening to the songs. Yes. Later I found out that I had misheard many words."
Development: Cassette-CD-MP3-Listen to Songs Online
Li Wensheng said that the tape has been brilliant for many years and has brought "a feast of hearing" to countless people.
In the mid-1990s, CDs with better sound quality became popular, but tapes were still relatively stable because of their low price and convenience.
Later, the emergence of MP3 brought a huge impact on tapes-a small MP3, you can download dozens or hundreds of good music with a computer, and you can download and replace it if you are tired of listening.
Li Wensheng said that by now, many children do not know what the tape is.
Because online music that can be heard anytime, anywhere is so convenient, there are some smart speakers, you can order the content you want to listen to with just one sentence.
"These tapes record the youth of many people, and also record the rapid development of the times. Seeing these tapes, I can think of the relative lack of material life. This also reminds us to cherish the good life now." Li Wensheng sighed with emotion. To say.
