Oh, I assumed you meant a powered machine.
replyI believe it's pretty quiet here too outside of CNY, although there is at least one active school nearby. Nice to hear some younger people are returning. It must be nice for kids to grow up in this kind of environment.
Oh I didn't realize that some people would interpret that machine as powered by electricity.
replyOur village didn't get electricity until the 90s, I think. I do remember having electricity growing up, and even a small TV. By the time I emigrated, some households had refrigerators.
