·Camera
I bought this camera in 1998. It was from Japan. At that time, you could only buy things from other countries in special stores. Back then, cameras used expensive film(昂贵胶卷), so every photo was important. It usually cost around 15 yuan to develop (冲洗) a roll of film. But at that time, I only made 510 yuan a month!
Xu Zhenhe,57, Beijing
Usually, the cameras on our phones are enough for us to take photos now. Expensive cameras are no longer necessary for ordinary needs. We can even edit (编辑) photos on our phones.
Xu Zhaolin, 25, Beijing
·Food coupon(粮票)
When I was a kid, we had to use food coupons, or liangpiao, to get food. Each person had a fixed quantity(定量) of grain each month. Sometimes we didn't have enough rice to eat, so we could often eat the stored coarse grains like sweet potatoes.
Huang Kunrong,72,Sichuan
We lead a better life without worrying about food shortages any more. We often have different dishes everyday. We also travel to many different places and taste so many local dishes. What's more, we don't have to use coupons to pay.

We all have a picture of home in our minds.
For me, it's a small town with my high school right down the street, about 15 minutes' walk from my home. But now, going back home is a shock to me.
I never realized how many things there were to do in my hometown. I could walk to the outside mall, go to a movie, and do some shopping.I used to picture my hometown as this quiet town where everyone knew each other, but now everything is changing when I am back home. For example, my high school was not so good in the past. Students had to walk outside in order to go into another building. It was really terrible when it rained. But it was so much fun when the parking lot became a "lake". Now my high school is completely indoors. I understand why they decided to do this, because the safety of students is very important.
In a way, I have changed too. I used to be a little girl who was shy. But now I have become more outgoing. It's true that the town where I grew up is changing for the better, just like me.I'll always remember what my hometown is and was like. And I believe there will be more changes in the future.
