Suffering from cancer twice, Ruan Shouxuan showed great calmness, "If you are sick, you must have a positive and optimistic attitude, and then actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, both pronged." It was also after his first cancer that Ruan Shouxuan began to organize and frame his collection, saying: "Hobbies are a good medicine against diseases, and I don't feel any pain at all when I plate these things every day." ”

Yellowed food stamps, documents, old objects, and daily necessities all reflect the traces of time. Among the many collections, a 1961 marriage certificate is particularly interesting. At that time, with the seal on the back of the marriage certificate, you could receive 10 feet of cloth, brown sugar, washbasins, mirrors, water bottles, pails, cotton bedding and other materials, "even in times of scarcity and extreme difficulty, the state is ensuring the supply of materials for newlyweds when they get married." Uncle Ruan pointed to his sister's marriage certificate and said.

In the past 5 years, he has sorted out more than a dozen boxes and nearly a thousand pieces of his collection. "It's fun to sort these things, these old objects are the imprints of history from different eras."

A duty schedule from 25 years ago

Arouse the friendship of the anti-flood war

On the 16th, at the theme party day of the retired party members' branch, Ruan Shouxuan also took out a duty schedule for flood control and patrol in 1998, and the old party members at the scene were surprised when they saw it. "Why do you still keep this old antique?" "This is my name, at that time, I worked the night shift with Lao Ruan every day, patrolling the embankment." "Gee, back then, we were also young and strong charging ahead, and the patrol found that several dangerous situations were solved by us." While looking at the yellowed duty sheet 25 years ago, the old party members lamented the comradeship of the front line at that time.

Everyone recalled the 76-day flood control embankment patrol days, and this yellowed paper became a shining treasure in the hearts of this group of old people. "It's not worth much, but it can bring us infinite memories of this group of old people, which is the most precious." Ruan Shouxuan said.

After his retirement, Ruan Shouxuan also wrote articles and books, and has published 200,000 words of "Unforgettable Years" and "Zhuankou Ji Xing", hoping to bring enlightenment to others about life with his optimistic attitude.
