Excellent composition on loving hometown and hometown construction

My hometown is beautiful and poor and backward. My home is in a ravine hundreds of miles from the city. Before I went to high school, I never walked out of the arms of the mountains. To tell the truth, I have never been very concerned about the development or change of my hometown. I didn't have this kind of consciousness before I went to high school, and I didn't have time to care after I went to high school. Even more than two years ago, I went to college in a foreign country thousands of miles away, and I didn't care. Because the economic development speed of my hometown is too disappointing compared with the cities in the Pearl River Delta, it is sad to mention it.

However, to talk about the changes in my hometown, I think it may be a simple and superficial summary: more money makes people "lazy"; The building is high and the water is dirty.

It seems that the spring breeze of reform didn't reach our remote mountain village until the late 1980s. Before that, villagers, men, women and children, worked hard to dig in the soil. It's just that our beloved land didn't give us much in return. There is not much other income in the village except farming. Many people are capable and hard-working, but there is no place to show their skills. In the last years of the 1980s, the villagers no longer counted on that land. I heard that there were gold miners in the city outside the mountain, and they went out one after another. Young people, middle-aged, skilled and unskilled all want to go out and pick up some gold. They walked for about a year, and when they came back, although they were not covered with gold and silver, they were always more than those dug out of the soil. So those who had rested at home for more than ten days and twenty days went out again. Most of the people left in the village are old people and children. By the mid-1990s, even teenagers couldn't sit still in the classroom, and many of them got on the train to work in the south. There is less rural labor force, and the land that was hard to reclaim land before is covered with weeds in a few years. In recent years, paddy fields have dried up, farming is too hard, and the family has money. Who wants it? In the past, just a few days after the Spring Festival, there were busy figures in the fields and corners. It seems a shame to go to the fields before the Lantern Festival. Rural women who stay at home will get together to play cards every once in a while during the slack season, which is something they never dared to think about before! Go out to meet the morning dew on a sunny day and go home with starlight. Rainy days come and go in the wind, and there are few rest days all year round.

In recent years, buildings in the village have mushroomed from all corners. Three floors and four floors, some of which are beautifully decorated. Even if it's only one floor, it's not a building. After all, it looks much more pleasing to the eye than those mud brick houses. Not to mention the interior decoration, the floor tiles are smooth enough to show the figure, and the gorgeous wallpaper … is simply sticking money on the wall and spreading it on the ground. Even if it is only painted with white lime, it looks much brighter, and it is no longer as dark and depressing as a mud brick house.

But what makes people uncomfortable is that the water in the stream is getting dirty. In the past, we couldn't afford tap water, and the water used by the villagers was taken from the stream that passed through the village. The first thing the villagers do when they get up in the morning is to fill their big water tanks with water for a day. When we were young, we often swam in the stream. Sometimes when I am thirsty, I drink water in the stream. Now, don't mention picking a stream to cook, just wash the vegetables and bring them back to the household tap water once or twice. Seeing this dirty water in summer, we no longer have the impulse to jump. The sight of fish swimming in the water is out of sight now. There are all kinds of rubbish everywhere in the stream. Some plastic bags have long changed color, but they just won't melt. The villagers are used to dumping all the rubbish into the stream, thinking that the stream will take away what they don't need. Or pile it in the open space in front of the door and light a fire when it is piled up, so that the garbage will go up in smoke when talking and laughing.

It can be predicted that the life of villagers will be better and better, money will be more and more, and buildings will be higher and higher. Will people become more and more "lazy"? But will the water get dirty? The laziness of the villagers is unacceptable to the older generation. But it also shows that life is getting better! It is the descendants of hometown who benefit. The water is getting dirtier and dirtier, and even the children in the village have long been used to it. Aren't they also victims?
