You mean the period where people in my birth country weren’t allowed to leave, still doing “cultural revolution” and “struggle sessions”. Poverty everywhere (actually still a lot of poverty nowadays too, but it wasmuch worse back then).

Meanwhile in America, even though this was after Civil Rights, Black people are still getting hated on and lynchings still happen. A time where it’s still practically impossible for someone who looks like Obama to become president. Discrimination was rampant. Disability rights wasn’t even a thing yet. LGBT rights aren’t definitely not socially acceptable at that time.

Why do people always worship the past so much?
