In the spring breeze, if it is a sunny afternoon, you happen to be at the foot of the ancient city, and you will definitely meet me. If you also like to hold an umbrella and walk on the quaint bluestone road in the drizzling morning of Feifei, you may meet me again.
These days, I fell in love with the ancient city and the ancient city wall. Every day I always ride slowly around the city wall, and I will sit down in the depths, so I will look at it affectionately, not like an old acquaintance, but like a new visitor.
Under the blue sky, the gray-black old city wall is quiet and peaceful, and under the warm sun, pieces of mottled old wall bricks write the history of swords and swords, the Iron Horse Glacier. Suddenly, my heart was filled with emotion. The older you get, the more you like these vicissitudes. Looking up, I seem to have understood all the joys and sorrows of the old city wall, all the ups and downs.
Its past life was bustling and noisy, and its youth was magnificent. But now, he is like a silent old man, quietly watching the vicissitudes of the town and quietly listening to the years telling the success or failure of the town.
In a trance, I lived in a small town for more than 30 years, and the years passed, leaving a mark quietly between my eyebrows. Accustomed to all familiar things, I have never looked at the old city wall so carefully as today, and my heart is filled with emotion. After all, I don't know where to start.
I especially remember that in the third year of high school, my classmates and I climbed the east wall near the school. On the wall, I met the staff of Suiyang Bloody Battle, an uncle who looks like the director, and came up to us and asked: Are you a native here? We were a little nervous when we heard the stranger's question. We nodded doubtfully, and he asked again. Do you love your hometown? My classmates and I don't know why. I don't know how to answer. He went on to say:? People! The older you get, the more you miss your hometown, and the more you understand what falling leaves are, your children now! I don't know how to love my hometown. My son, like you, has no feelings for his hometown. Alas! ? Uncle sighed and shook his head alone.
In fact, I'm young and inexperienced, and I haven't carefully considered his words, and I don't know my hometown or homesickness. It's just that my uncle's unique temperament and standard Mandarin are still fresh in my memory. Now I am middle-aged. At his age, when I think about it carefully, I suddenly understand his mood and homesickness.
After graduating from college, my cousin's son went to Hangzhou alone to work hard despite his family's opposition. Now he has a house and a car, and his family of three lives in another country. Maybe he is busy at work and doesn't come back often. This year in Tomb-Sweeping Day, as soon as the epidemic recovered, I hurried home to visit my parents and relatives in my hometown. During this period, he said something that deeply moved me. I don't know what happened these years. The older you get, the more homesick you get! ?
When I was a child, like my nephew, I tried my best to escape from this small town and this place called my hometown. I don't want to look at my old job, and I don't want to see a hundred poor and backward small cities. I yearn for the prosperity and opportunities of big cities, envy my classmates and friends who work in other places, want to leave this place where I grew up, and want to get rid of my parents' control and fly high.
It's just a pity that, for various reasons, the fighting spirit of the past gradually faded in the triviality of life, and the dream of the past was gradually seen by the skinny reality and became more and more clear. So that in these years, I gradually lost that heart, but lived and worked in peace and contentment, with a new interpretation of my hometown and a deep love in my bones.
Once familiar with the streets, in the long river of years, slowly out of a lot of warmth and moved. Once familiar with the garden vegetation, in the flow of time, gradually grow a lot of beauty and joy.
So in my spare time, I can't help taking pictures of my picturesque hometown and sending it to my daughter who is far away abroad, but an English sentence is from my child. So what? "As an English teacher, I understand, so I have to explain that my hometown has changed a lot and now it is also a livable city with beautiful environment. We will support the elderly at home in the future. I understand the child's question. Even if her hometown is not what it used to be, she never wants to come back.
I know my child has grown into my youth, and she also likes the outside world. She also wants to have a bigger stage in life. Her growth was a decisive departure from her hometown, and she went further and further, unwilling to look back.
I also know that the child will eventually grow into what I am now. One day, she will understand and love her hometown like me, and devote her life to it, remember and cherish it. Just like an elderly father-in-law, he never forgets mountains, water and bamboo thousands of miles away. Just like my husband, he really set foot on his hometown and really fell in love with his hometown.
Maybe everyone lives in their hometown, and homesickness flows in everyone's blood. But this kind of attachment and affection for hometown will only be truly understood at a certain age. The past disgust is precisely because of too much love? This kind of homesickness will be gradually understood only when you leave this country and feel lonely. Hometown is a person's root, local accent is a person's soul, and homesickness is a homesick heart.
This heart contains everything in my hometown. The farther away from home, the heavier the homesickness, the longer the wandering time, the stronger the homesickness. Like a poem by Li Houzhu? The sadness of parting is like weeds in spring, which go further and further. ?
In fact, homesickness is a kind of growth. As time goes by, it grows into a gloomy and rich heart, because there is love, warmth, happiness, concern and memories that we will never forget.
