Changes in my hometown

My hometown is beautiful but poor and backward. My home is in a ravine hundreds of miles away from the city. Before I entered high school, I had never been outside the mountains. To be honest, I have never cared much about the development or changes in my hometown. I didn’t have this awareness before I entered high school, and I didn’t have time to care about it after I entered high school. Even more than two years ago, I went to college in a foreign country thousands of miles away, and I didn't bother to care anymore. Because the economic development speed of my hometown is so disappointing compared with the cities in the Pearl River Delta, it makes me sad to mention it.

But when it comes to the changes in my hometown, I think we can make a simple and superficial summary: there is more money, people are "lazy"; the buildings are taller, and the water is dirty.

It was not until the late 1980s that the spring breeze of reform seemed to blow in our remote mountain village. Before that, all the people in the village, men, women, old and young, worked hard to dig food in the soil. It’s just that the land we love so much doesn’t give us much in return. Apart from farming, there is not much other income in the village. Many people have skills and can endure hardships, but there is no place to display their skills. In the last few years of the 1980s, the villagers no longer looked forward to the land. Hearing that there was gold picking in the city outside the mountain, they all walked out. Young people, middle-aged people, those with skills and those without skills all want to go out and pick up some gold and come back. They left for a year and a half, and although they were not covered in gold and silver when they came back, there was still more than what was dug out of the ground. So I rested at home for ten or twenty days and went out again. Most of the people staying in the village are old people and children. By the mid-1990s, even teenage children could no longer sit still in the classroom, and many were crowded onto the train heading south to work. The rural labor force has decreased, and the land that was previously cleared through hard work has become overgrown with weeds within a few years. In recent years, many paddy fields have become barren. Farming is too hard. If the family has money, who is willing to ask for hardship? In the past, just a few days after the Spring Festival, the fields and corners were full of busy people. Nowadays, it seems very shameful to go to the ground before the Lantern Festival. Rural women who stay at home would get together every now and then to play cards for fun during their spare time. This was something they never dared to think about before! On a sunny day, you go out to the morning and go home under the stars. On a rainy day, you come and go in the wind and rain, and there are only a few days of rest throughout the year.

In the past few years, buildings in the village have been springing up from every corner like bamboo shoots after a rain. There are three or four floors, some of which are beautifully decorated on the outside. Even though it's only one floor and not really a building, it looks much more pleasing to the eye than those mud-brick houses. Not to mention the interior decoration, the floor tiles are so smooth that you can see people's figures, and the gorgeous wallpaper... It's like paying money to put it on the wall, and paying money to spread it on the floor. Even if it is only painted with white lime, it looks much brighter, no longer as dark and depressing as a mud brick house.

But what makes people very uncomfortable is that the water in the stream is getting dirty. In the past, running water was not available, and the villagers got their water from the stream that ran across the village. The first thing the villagers do when they get up in the morning is to fill the large water tanks at home with water for the day. We used to swim in the creek when we were little. Sometimes when I feel thirsty, I take a deep drink from the stream. Nowadays, let alone carrying water from the stream for cooking, even when washing vegetables and taking them home, you have to wash them once or twice with tap water. When we see this dirty water in summer, we no longer have the urge to jump in. The sight of fish swimming around in the water is no longer visible. Various kinds of garbage can be seen everywhere in and beside the stream. Some of those plastic bags have long since changed color, but they just refuse to melt away. Villagers are accustomed to dumping all their rubbish into the stream, believing that the stream will take away these unwanted items. Or they pile it up in the open space in front of the door. If there is too much, they light a fire, and then the garbage is wiped out while talking and laughing.

It can be expected that the lives of people in the village will get better and better in the future, the money will be more and more, and the buildings will be higher and higher. Will people become more and more "lazy"? But is the water getting dirtier? The older generation can't stand the "laziness" of the villagers. But this also shows that life has gotten better! It is the descendants of the hometown who benefit. The water is getting dirtier and dirtier, and the children in the village must have gotten used to it. Aren't they the ones who suffered?

"Yangyang, are you going back to your hometown?" Today is Sunday, my mother asked me while packing things. "Humph! I'm not going back." As I said that, I turned my head to one side. "Why?" Mom asked me. "What's so good about my hometown? The roads are muddy. Every time I walk back, my shoes are full of mud. The houses people live in are shabby and dilapidated. If it rains, it will turn into a water curtain hole. I won't go back!" I replied with an unhappy look on my face.

Dad heard what I said and came over with a smile: "My hometown is very different now from before. You can't always look at problems with the old eyes!" "Really? Then I will go back and have a look." I was reluctant was pulled into the car by his father.

After more than an hour of turbulence, we finally arrived at our destination. I got off the car and took a look, ah! Is this still the old hometown? Why has it changed so much? I saw that the dirt road that used to lead to my grandma's house had turned into a wide and flat asphalt road. Looking around, both sides of the road are covered with leafy trees, and behind the village are endless green rice fields. Looking at the green rice fields, I felt like I was looking at a landscape painting.

When I arrived at my grandma’s house, I was shocked by what I saw in front of me: Is this my grandma’s house? Did I go to the wrong door? What appeared in front of me was a spacious and bright house with red bricks and green tiles. The house was equipped with all household appliances. I remember that the house my grandma lived in was dilapidated and old, and the roof was in tatters. When it rained, when I entered the house, it was raining heavily outside and light raining inside. Even ten basins were not enough to catch it. Except for the radio that my mother had just bought for my master, everything else in the house was in disrepair. Who would have thought that my hometown would undergo such a big change after not seeing each other for a few years? It’s really unexpected!

When I got home, my grandma told me: “In recent years, thanks to the Party’s good policies of reform and opening up, farmers’ lives are getting better day by day. You see, the original mud houses and tile houses have become Spacious and bright buildings; the previously muddy roads have turned into wide and flat avenues. Every household has bought a motorcycle, and people have become well-off ahead of schedule! ”

Change! Really changed! Reform and opening up have made people's lives better and better!

My hometown is Yongding, Longyan. In the past, the economy here was underdeveloped and people’s living standards were not high. They lived in low thatched huts and bungalows with few buildings. The streets are full of potholes. There used to be very few means of transportation, only tricycles and vans, and there were frequent traffic jams. The quality of the people is not high either. They spit everywhere, litter, and discharge sewage, which seriously pollutes the river...

However, today, due to the party's reform and opening up policy that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, today's hometown Yongding has undergone earth-shaking changes: look! The wide roads extend in all directions; skyscrapers can be seen everywhere; various supermarkets and shops are dotted; majestic overpasses fly north and south; clean streets and colorful ceramic tiles make people feel comfortable walking and chatting ; In the green green belt, the fragrance of various flowers exudes, which is refreshing and makes people forget to leave. During holidays, people go to parks and outdoor outings in small groups to fully enjoy their leisure time. The newly opened Suguo Supermarket and Commercial and Cultural Plaza are crowded with people every day. People visit stores and shop in large quantities; restaurants of all sizes , each with its own flavor, has attracted visitors from all over the world. Yongding, an ancient and beautiful city, is developing towards a metropolis...

The most unforgettable thing is the night view of Yongding. Look, the colorful Neon lights illuminate the streets and alleys; rows of street lights illuminate the highway as if it were daytime, making it look like fire dragons from a distance, making it very safe for drivers to drive; and there are lasers of various colors. The lights sweep back and forth in the night sky, turning Yongding into a "city that never sleeps."

Ah! I love my hometown - Longyan Yongding!

My hometown is Foshan, and the changes in Foshan are really great!

I remember when I was 2 or 3 years old, the houses here were so dilapidated and low. The roofs were made of tiles. When it rained, the tiles were not strong and the water would flow. It's dripping down from the wali and it's disgusting. At that time, the naive me couldn't help but wonder: Why is this house so shabby and disgusting?

Childhood is short-lived after all. Time flies, and the years fly by. I went to school at the age of seven, and this house also changed. The low, damp brick buildings were demolished, and an avenue of buildings was built. The buildings were not only made of bricks and tiles like before. There is only one floor, but now it is made of steel, cement, and porcelain... It is as high as seven or eight stories, and there is a balcony garden. Some flowers, plants and trees were planted around to purify the air. Windows are installed in every house to allow people to see the outside world. Flowers, plants and trees bring beauty to the house all year round.

Four years have passed in a flash, and new changes have occurred here; high-rise buildings are rising all around.

Not only were trees planted and windows built, but they were also paved with colorful square bricks on the walls and underground. You won’t have to worry about it if it rains in the future. After the rain, you can still see colorful rainbows when the sun comes out. Not only does it have lights, it also has air conditioning. That air conditioner can emit both cold air and hot air. It’s really the best of both worlds! This house is changing day by day, getting better and better every year. People's lives are also like sesame blossoms, getting higher and higher day by day, and the days are getting more and more prosperous.

Ah, Foshan has changed so much. When I grow up, I will also build my motherland

My hometown Foshan

Speaking of Foshan, You must be very familiar with it, because we live in Foshan. But, how much do you know about Foshan? How much do you know about the changes in Foshan? Let me tell you.

Before the reform, Foshan was still a small town. The roads were bumpy and muddy when it rained. People's lives were difficult and even the food and clothing problems were difficult to solve. Now, Foshan has been established as a city and opened up. Many companies have come to invest in Foshan and built high-rise buildings. The original adobe roads have been turned into roads made of cement, and transportation has become much more convenient. Nowadays, people's living standards are constantly improving, not only their material needs, but also their spiritual culture. For example, the popularity of computers and televisions.

Last year, Foshan added eight new scenic spots, providing tourists with very convenient services. Foreign languages ??have also become an indispensable learning item; various skills, talents and abilities are also promoted to people...

Foshan will also build the first, second and third ring roads in the future, so that The transportation is more convenient, attracting more people to start businesses and invest in Foshan.

Now, do you know about Foshan and its changes?
