After 60
The marriage life is simple and real
The marriage life in the 1960s was simple and real, and happiness was not a mirage. Having a stable job, a Shanghai-brand watch, and surviving the decade-long disaster were all indicators of happiness. As Aunt Xu in the brochure sighed, "Well, looking for a partner and getting married at that time were different from now. At that time, you thought that the other person was very good, a person who lived a down-to-earth life, and a little culture was enough. You wouldn't want to have money, can you buy a house or something." The old man who married in the 1960s, who was more firmly committed to marriage, just like the old man Zhang Jingbang who had gone up the mountains and down the countryside, also believed that, "Understand the other side. There is nothing that can't be overcome."
After 70
Happiness is related to quality
The married life of the post-70s has requirements for quality. Although it is not required to wear brands and live in luxury houses, whether the house is big enough and the car is good enough will affect the happiness index, just like Xiao Li, who has been married for ten years, believes that "happiness is related to material". Liang Zhenhua, who is also after the 1970s, believes that the quality of life depends on freedom, so he and his wife choose to open a small shop and spend their spare time on their favorite outdoor tourism. At the same time, the post-70s' sense of responsibility towards marriage is also in a transition period. Although the degree of freedom of marriage is higher, they will also consider maintaining the existence of marriage as much as possible because of the children's problems.
Post-80s
Happiness puts more emphasis on self-worth
On the basis of pursuing cooperation, the marriage life of the post-80s emphasizes more on self-worth. As the standard post-80s Wang Qihan said, "My wife and I respect each other's personal life and social circle very much. We can simply and directly communicate their needs and then support each other's decision. This extraction of self-worth also more reflects the pursuit and recognition of personality by social people, which is closely related to the gradual opening and democracy of the social environment.
