About 1979, when I was in the third grade of elementary school in Nanjing, I saw a magazine introducing Star Wars and gave a rough account of the plot. Then I concluded that this proved that the decadent capitalism was dead end and had to rely on falsehoods. Fantasy, come to anesthetize the working people....
When I arrived in the United States in 1980, I happened to see the second part of the Empire Strikes Back. Because I haven’t seen the first part, the English is not good, and there are no subtitles, so it’s a mess. I don’t know what I’m doing, just remember the mechanical turtle (ATAT), lightsaber or something.
I watched the third Jedi Counterattack in Taiwan in 1983 (title translated from Taiwan), because I didn’t watch one, and didn’t understand the second. Although the subtitles are finally available, they are still confused. That's it.
It was not until 2007 when my son was four years old in Shanghai that he bought a pirated DVD and watched the prequel 123 and the prequel 456 together with him, and finally understood the cause and effect.

I saw an article introducing Star Wars for the first time when I was 9 years old. Now it’s 49. The four modernizations have basically been realized. Although we still can’t live on the moon and mine under the sea, the rice grown is as big as a watermelon. ……. Having said that, the atmosphere of science fiction at that time was actually very strong, especially imaginative, and seeing the three bodies, you can particularly feel that Liu is a contemporary.
