Shiqiao's Hometown

My hometown is in Shiqiao, and the stone road made of rough stones along the ditch has become the name of the village - "Shiqiao". It was a paradise no less than "Baicao Garden" when I was a child, and there were also many past events that strangled my childhood like a nightmare. When riding in the spring, I didn't know the nature of the mountains, and I almost got lost in the shade of the trees; when I swam in the summer, I didn't know the nature of water, and I almost drowned in the creek; when I herded sheep in the winter, I didn't know the area, and I almost used the earth as my mat because I got stuck in the mud; when I went to sea in the autumn, I didn't know the nature of the sea, and I almost drowned in the belly of a fish because of capsizing. Wen Tianxiang's "I don't know how many people are there if you give it to the dead", which I have experienced since I was a child. Tao Qian said, "Relatives may be sad, but others have also sung. What is the way to die? The body is supported by the same mountain." Life and death are impermanent. "Moss flowers are as small as rice." When you are young, life is not as small as rice grains. "You are not around during the day," but "youth comes naturally." I can't help but sigh. I will remember it to comfort my aging heart. By realistically showing the history of changes in his hometown of Shiqiao, the novel expresses the local customs and various secular cultural characteristics of Quannan and Huibei. It highlights the suffering, ignorance and self-improvement of the hometown. To express the nostalgia for the lost hometown and the satisfaction with the hard-won new life.
