There is a photo album in the corner of the desk. I look through it from time to time. In fact, there are only three photos in it. The one on the title page is of me and a beautiful girl. I laughed heartily at the camera, and behind us, there was a stream of water and light,The mountain is emptyMongolianThe beautiful scenery of West Lake. On the front page in the middle, there is a photo alone. I am standing on a brightly lit street, with a dull expression on my face, filled with the colorful colors of the city. The last one is posted on the penultimate page of the photo album. It is a landscape photo with no one on it and the scenery is very monotonous. The Yellow River roars and rushes through the desolate and silent desert.

At that time, I was in high w88 casino. For a certain lofty and sacred goal, I spent every day in endless exercises and exams. I was disappointed with my day, even though my results were the envy of many. Although I can endure it for a long time, disappointment is just disappointment. I am too eager for some change in my life, even just a little bit. So one day I said to my father, Dad, I don’t want to do any homework this holiday. Please take me out for a walk.

To this day, I still feel a little ashamed when I think of what I said at that time. I was just a student who didn't want to bear the burden and wanted to go outside to play. However, I didn't even have the courage to go out by myself, and I actually wanted my father to lead me. To my surprise, my father did not reprimand me, but just asked, where do you want to go?

At that time, I was reading some books about the Six Dynasties. Of course, it was to learn history, but after thinking about it, I still said that I wanted to go to Nanjing.

There is another reason why I am eager to get outside. I don’t know why, but during that period, I felt very tired of my hometown where I had lived for sixteen years. I deeply feel that there is a huge difference between where I live and the outside world. In this land, you can see the rough, barren and desolate scenery, and you can always feel the poverty and ignorance of the people. I even have a desire to escape. This desire is actually the same as the desire of all the students there who study hard to get into college, that is: get out of hereGo outside and find a home of your own.

Looking for a home of my own... I set out for the first time towards the place that seemed to be home in my distant dream.

When I came to Nanjing, I found that it is indeed surprisingly beautiful. The Purple Mountain shrouded in clouds and the lush Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum opened my eyes to scenery I had never dared to see; the lights and oars on the Qinhuai River, and the heroic souls of the martyrs in the Yuhuatai, made my soul baptized like never before. The humid climate makes people feel how gentle this city is, but the Yangtze River passing through the city is so broad. It was the first time I saw row upon row of skyscrapers, the first time I saw a large museum that embraced all rivers, and the first time I saw buses with no ticket sales on the street, or the common sight of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. During the ten days in Nanjing, I found that I liked everything here. I just lamented that I did not grow up here. I think this eye-opening city has given me many things that my hometown simply cannot do. Finally, with infinite regret, I walked to another strange place, Hangzhou.

Now that I think about my impression of Hangzhou, there are still only two words that can explain it clearly: paradise. This poetic city made me fall hopelessly in love with it. This is evidenced by a poem I randomly recited when I left Hangzhou: Don’t travel ten miles to Qinhuai to be a branch of willow on Su Di. It’s not that I’ve changed my mind after seeing something different, it’s just that when I stood on the broken bridge, immersed in the breeze and the bright moon by the West Lake, and looked at the beauties in Hangzhou coming and going with their bright eyes and white teeth, I felt what beauty is from the bottom of my heart. Under the influence of such a happy mood, I boldly asked a passing girl to take a photo with me, and that was the first photo in the album. My hometown has never given me such a romantic feeling. When I strolled along the roadside in Yan'an, I was amazed by the developed commercial civilization; when I took a stroll on the campus of Zhejiang University, the strong academic atmosphere made me fall in love. My hometown cannot give me these either. To this day, Hangzhou still fascinates me. For a long time, I thought that the most luxurious happiness for a person is to live in such a city for a lifetime.

This is my first time traveling far away, and I saw a place that was completely different from my hometown. When I was young, I felt that the outside world was indeed what I thought, and even better than I imagined; but my hometown was so unbearable to me.

二

I don’t like this feeling, but in everyone’s eyes, it is a matter of course, so much so that sometimes even I agree with it: I was admitted to university, and it was a university that could impress everyoneStudy, so I received generous praises from my elders, exaggerated praise from my classmates, and incomprehensible admiration from children. It won't take long for this kind of life to become boring. The days are so leisurely that they seem to be repeated every day, so I want to go out again. Originally, I had to go to a very far place to go to w88 casino. It seemed that I should stay longer, but I didn’t have much attachment or reluctance to my hometown. Although I sincerely know that life in my hometown is familiar and cordial, and there is nothing unaccustomed to it, my curiosity and desire for the outside world have never stopped.

This time I traveled with a like-minded friend and chose places that I had wanted to go but could not, Shanghai and Xiamen. I want to go to the richest place in China and see how prosperous it is outside.

The magnificent Nanjing Road, the prosperous Xujiahui, the night view of the Bund, and the ever-changing Pudong New Area... Shanghai has taught me what rapid development is and what prosperity is. Yes, if we talk about the economic development of the city, whether it is places I have been to or places I have never been to, it may not be as good as Shanghai. This is also the farthest place between my hometown and Shanghai. But there are no beautiful scenery in Shanghai. I would rather believe that this is the price paid for development. Standing in the neon-lit Shili Foreign Market, I was no longer amazed by the prosperity I had never seen before. I was just silent, thinking that Shanghai is such a city, and my hometown would never be like this anyway.

Coastal cities always have their own unique charm. In terms of scenery, my hometown is really different from a city like Xiamen. The gentle sea breeze blowing against your face on Gulangyu Island is refreshing and refreshing. Walking through the waves on the vast sea, your mood is indeed rare and cheerful. However, what really shocked me was when I was shopping. Zhongshan Road is Xiamen's pedestrian street. I came here with the feeling that I had to go. However, when I finished my stroll and stood at the street corner looking back, wanting to savor this road again, my heart trembled. Suddenly, I couldn’t tell where this was, Xinjiekou? Yan'an Road? Tianhe City? The commercial streets of every big city I have ever experienced appeared before my eyes. They were all decorated like gold powder from the Six Dynasties, and they were rushing towards me. The places I have been to now seem to all overlap, because their prosperity is so similar, but in different degrees. Just like doing too much of anything will make a person numb. At this moment, I was looking at the still bustling Zhongshan Road indifferently, but my friend took this unforgettable photo for me. I finally felt that for those endless complex things I had seen,As far as Hua's cities are concerned, I am just a passer-by, just like the countless passers-by in those cities, the most inconspicuous touch of color.

The sweat is dripping down my face and I feel very hot. Yes, the humid and hot climate here makes me very uncomfortable. The same is true in Nanjing, Hangzhou and Shanghai. Whenever I enjoy the beautiful scenery, I have to endure the hot flashes that can almost make me faint; whenever I am extremely hungry, I have to eat my least favorite sweet dishes; whenever I ask for directions, I have to try to understand Wu Nong's soft language, which is like a voice from outside the world. Although I understand that if I live here, everything will gradually adapt, and I am still willing to visit places I have never been to, but I cannot rekindle the crazy pursuit and love for strange places that I once had. I began to miss my hometown, the place I was familiar with and where I grew up.

三

The first vacation from university, I went out immediately. But I don’t want to go too far, I just want to visit the mountains and rivers of my hometown again. Although I have been to all places before, this time was special.

Standing on the endless sand slope, looking around is the vast sea of sand. It is the desolation and thickness that has not changed over the years, carrying the reproduction of generations of people. In the evening, I was shocked by the scenery in front of me. I could see the Yellow River rushing in front of me and see a red sun slowly setting, finally sinking into the endless desert. I once thought that the scenery like "the lonely smoke in the desert and the sun setting over the long river" was the poet's wonderful imagination, but now, I saw it, right on the land of my hometown! In the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River, there are many exquisite fine brushwork and light and ethereal freehand brushwork, but only this rock carving with rough and deep lines in my hometown in Saibei is permanently engraved in my heart. I have never seen such a spectacular scene before, because every time I come to the desert, I leave in a hurry. Before sunset, this sparsely populated desert has already made me feel boring. Thinking of the past, every time I went to a distant and unfamiliar place, I always felt that everything was good and I was willing to stop for a long time. However, I was still unable to see the beautiful scenery so close at hand. For a moment I forgot about West Lake and Gulangyu Island, Dongting Junshan and Tianya HaiHorns, although they are still beautiful, only this place belongs to me, and I only belong here, because my roots are here. I felt ashamed of my hometown. I almost forgot my roots and looked for a home somewhere elseIn. I wandered around with great longing, but those strange places did not accept me, but gave me all kinds of blame; I was once so ungrateful to the hometown where I was born and raised, but today she still welcomed me with the attitude I know well. Yes, I feel kind and grateful. The ocean is not the only one that is tolerant. The desert also tells me what a big heart is.

Pressing the shutter button with trembling hands, I fixed this moment in the camera and in my heart.

Walking onto the streets of the small town, I found that it was still the same as before, not even much changed from a few years ago. There are no luxurious and gorgeous shopping malls, nor colorful neon lights, but I know that this is not Chunxi Road or Jiefangbei, this is not Wangfujing or Quanyechang. This is my home, and I will never get lost here. The hawkers were still shouting exaggeratedly to passers-by on the street, while vigilantly guarding against the arrival of the city management. Some of the streetlights were not working, but what I felt was true love for all this, rather than fearful admiration after seeing all the weird things. People's conversation did not have much of the elegance of the upper class, but every word sounded so interesting and lively. The appearance of each restaurant is not very elegant, but I have a special liking for the food inside. Although the people in their hometown cannot talk about a lot of world affairs like the people in Beijing, nor can they be as careful and clear about everything as the people in Shanghai, they are sincere and generous, and the simplicity and reality given to them by this land are revealed in their bones.

I think I'm finally home.

There is a saying that the more you travel around, the more you miss your hometown. After so many years, I finally understand this sentence. I may still be on the road to the unknown from time to time in the future, but I also always have one thought in my mind, and that is to go home.

Now, I still love to travel everywhere. When I have free time, I want to see the world and collect more scenery. However, this one only has three photo albums, which are already closed.
