This is a collection of essays about hometown, distance and growth. It is a story of family, friendship and love of those born in the 1970s and 1980s. The story is set against the background of China's urbanization process and revolves around the theme of "hometown and distance", which will resonate with the vast number of people traveling from their hometown to the distance. Against the background of 1.4 Billion people and 900 million farmers, moving to cities is a phenomenon that will continue to occur in China in the past few decades and in the next few decades. Farmers need to move to the city, or send their children to the city, resulting in the urban-rural divide of "the city that cannot be integrated into, the hometown that cannot be returned to". People in their hometown look forward to and envy going to the city, while the floating generation who go to the city reflect on life and miss the pastoral life in their hometown. Hometown is the emotion of a lifetime, the distance is the scar of the "siege city", nostalgia is the mark of the times, once entering the city, it is as deep as the sea, where will the prodigal return home?
