Clouds and Rain in Hometown

He has been working in the south for ten years. What he misses most is not the food in his hometown, but the clouds and rain. The rain in the north is too fast and the clouds are too light. That year he saved enough money and returned to his hometown in Guizhou. It was the rainy season. His clothes would not dry dry and mushrooms grew on the soles of his shoes. He stood in the rain and cried. When his neighbor asked him why he was crying, he said, "The rain is the same as when I was a kid. It's sticky. It's so nice." He built a shed on the roof and watched the clouds roll over the mountains every day. Others said he was crazy, but he said: "You don't understand. I was dreaming in the south, and the clouds in my dream were all shaped like this."
