Oh, that colorful commemorative chapter Oh, that colorful commemorative chapter Oh, that colorful commemorative chapter , that colorful commemorative medal Chicago Lin Wen When I first arrived in the United States, my old classmate Zhao Jun came to visit and gave me a commemorative medal. I saw it was a waving American flag. It was made with fine workmanship and had the right color. I liked it very much. Thinking about this medal, I can't help but think of the colorful medals I have collected at home. Each small commemorative medal will tell your own heritage. . . . . . When it comes to "memorial medals", we cannot fail to mention Mao Zedong commemorative medals in China. It is not an exaggeration to say that there are tens of millions of Mao commemorative medals that appeared in the "Great Cultural Revolution". Following this, Mao commemorative medal exchange gathering places appeared in some big cities. At that time, Mao's commemorative medals can be said to be all kinds, and some of them are completely crude to the extreme, but at that time, as long as the bigger and more novel, the more people wanted. One day, a veteran actually took one of the "crossing the river" "Battle Medal" came in exchange for a commemorative medal of Mao that he liked, and left happily, which vividly reflected the mentality of many people at that time. By the early 1970s, as more and more people were tired of the battles between different factions and the so-called "Great Criticism", they avoided the sword, sword, and live combat. So for a while, the commemorative medals were exchanged for people. It was very exciting. In addition to Mao’s medals, there were also medals from Lenin, Stalin, Lu Xun, etc., and I had collected them all. One day, someone actually took out a rectangular medal with the words “The World is Public” on a blue background, which was said to be in the handwriting of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. Of course, it was very mysterious, and only a few experienced people could see it. I should also mention the “Eight Great Models” Among them, Li Tiemei, the Red Detachment of Women, Xi'er in the ballet and other images of Youqi are popular among female compatriots. During the Cultural Revolution, the corsage pins favored by female compatriots in the past were swept away due to bourgeois sentiments, and commemorative medals modeled on the heroic images in model operas can be legitimately replaced. Therefore, the exchange price is relatively high, and of course it is only exchanged for different commemorative medals. The commemorative medal exchange activity lasted for several years in some cities. In the late period of the Cultural Revolution, commemorative medals appeared in some revolutionary memorial places, such as Nanjing Yuhuatai, Shaoshan, Jiaxing Nanhu, Beijing, etc., and there were more in the 1980s. The appearance of commemorative medals at tourist attractions better reflects the original function of commemorative medals. Speaking of this, I also think of the commemorative medals I collected in the 1950s and 1960s, such as my country’s first self-made "Liberation Brand" car, which was manufactured by Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard during the Cultural Revolution. "Wantun Hydraulic Press" and so on. These medals record the footprints of my country's industrial development. I also collected medals from the First National Games. At that time, influenced by the Soviet Union's launch of the first artificial earth satellite, the Arabic numeral 1 was exaggerated into a rocket shape to encourage athletes to have the spirit of soaring and winning. Around 1959, there was also a "Soviet Exhibition Hall Medal" in the society. In the next few years, China and the Soviet Union had bad relations, and the exhibition hall was still there, but it was renamed "Beijing Exhibition Hall". The small medal served as a witness to history. I have a commemorative medal "collector" who once planned to collect the "school emblems" of universities and middle schools in various places. This can be said to be a unique category of "commemorative medals". From before liberation to the early 1950s before universities and middle schools in mainland China were "publicly run", the "school emblems" of each school did have their own characteristics, reflecting the purpose of each school. The logo was to lead the way, which fully reflected the academic freedom, contention of a hundred schools of thought, and open-minded environment at that time. Later, the school was unified as a "public school", and the "school badge" was almost unified across the country into a rectangular red background with white characters (teachers) and a white background with red characters (students). This also reflects the changes in our education from one perspective. I collected commemorative medals when I was a child and a middle school student. The collection was very small, but it can be seen that commemorative medals had their glory at that time. No matter how people evaluate the content and meaning of those commemorative medals, after all, they record history in their own form, reflect the times, allow people to increase their knowledge and expand their horizons, and also provide people with beautiful enjoyment and useful enlightenment. From this point of view, they can be said to have the same purpose as stamps. Now I look at this American flag medal given by an old friend, and I remember that when I was watching TV in China, I saw some American officials wearing the flag medal, and they seemed very confident. The small crafts of the medal also play a special role. In addition, some model worker medals, honorary medals, and military medals are precious treasures to the owners and their families. Because of these, some people can't stop remembering the medals.
