Go Home, for a Farther Place

Chen Yuan resolutely quit his high-paying job with good prospects in the provincial capital and returned to his hometown of Chenjiacun, which was becoming increasingly silent and on the verge of extinction. Everything in front of me is depressing: an old father who is bedridden with no one to take care of him, a centuries-old ancestral hall with peeling walls and rotten wooden beams, all the young and middle-aged people in the village have gone out to work, leaving only the elderly and children behind, and the streets are deserted and deserted. He knew that what he wanted to repair was never just a dilapidated old house, but also the cultural roots of the village that had lasted for six hundred years. As the news spread, young people from the same hometown who had wandered abroad returned to their hometowns for reunions. Everyone worked together to repair ancient buildings and revitalize local resources, vowing to reverse the decline of the ancient villages and rejuvenate their sleepy hometown. It turns out that those who travel far away to pursue prosperity will eventually return home. The real return home is not to stop here, but to hold on to the roots of the homeland and move towards a broader distance with the confidence of the homeland.
