Who can answer, what does hometown mean to each of us?
I remember a writer whose tombstone was engraved with a meaningful sentence: "A soldier will return to his hometown if he is not killed in battle." The writer never forgets his hometown in his life, telling the simple folk customs and kind people of his hometown one by one in his works. Then, through his pen, we learned about the stilted buildings along the river, the flowing Yuan River, and the lovely little girls Cuicui and Sans. Hometown is of extraordinary significance to Shen Congwen. To expand a little, hometown has an important influence on everyone, which is sometimes unknown to us.
My hometown is Jincheng Lanzhou, which is located in the northwest of China and is a typical inland city. In history, Lanzhou was an important city on the Silk Road. It witnessed businessmen coming and going, and witnessed the prosperity of a dynasty and a country. I can't touch the past of Lanzhou, so I can only sketch the past of this city in historical documents, but Lanzhou, where I live now, is real and full of cordiality.
In spring, walk along the Yellow River customs line and watch the surging Yellow River water. I listened to the familiar local accent and felt the pulse of the city. In summer, the sun is often scorching. I looked up at the unique and lasting sunny day in this city, and the occasional haze in my heart was swept away. Autumn is the season when fruits and melons are fragrant. I was eating the white orchid melon with plenty of water, and realized that my hometown was really called "A Fruit City". In winter, the street outside is sometimes a white world. Looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, I can't help thinking that the most beautiful winter is probably just like this, right?
As the saying goes, one party's land and water support one party's people. Lanzhou has endowed her villagers with a cheerful and enthusiastic character. I believe that even if I leave my hometown as a wanderer several years later, I will never forget the beauty and uniqueness of my hometown and every day I have lived there.
I really want to express my love for you, my hometown Jincheng. Thank you for letting me snuggle in your warm arms for 15 years. I am growing up healthily and happily with the water you irrigated me. My dear hometown, you have given me too much. Today, please allow me to murmur in my heart: my hometown Jincheng, the indispensable rain and dew in my life.
