Hometown Feelings
Many people choose to leave their towns and villages to search for work in the city. Among these people is Zhong Wei, a 46-year-old husband and father. He has worked in Wenzhou for almost 13 years. With a busy job in a crayon factory, he doesn't have time to return to his village often. On a recent visit, he said, "It's a shame that I had to leave my hometown, I've always wanted to move back. It has improved so much since I left."
Nowadays, more and more hometowns are changing for the better. Large hospitals and new schools have appeared, And in many places, the government has also built new roads and bridges. This has made traveling between villages, towns, and cities much easier. Thanks to the new roads around his village, Zhong Wei will now be able to open an online shop that sells delicious food from his hometown.

Zhong Wei regards such developments as important steps for his hometown. According to him, however, one thing will never change. "In my hometown, there is a big old tree opposite the school. It has become quite a symbol of the place. When I was young, my friends and I liked to play under that big tree, especially in the summer. We had such a happy childhood. Our hometown has given us so many great memories."
Zhong Wei also likes the new school in his village. "The old school opened in the middle of the last century," said Zhong Wei. "The classrooms we used to read and count in were really small.
