was born in a remote rural area in 1988. There were no mobile phones, no TVs, no extra means of transportation, and only playmates. Every alley in the village is filled with people every day, doing trivial things after tea and meals, but everyone laughs happily and is not worried about not having money. It seems that this scene has always been in their minds. Maybe this is the life they yearn for.
A heavy rainstorm in 2006 brought unrest to the village. The floods destroyed most of the houses in the village. Slowly, many villagers moved to the small town. With fewer people, there were fewer people studying in the village. For the sake of small Children are studying and moving away one after another, and there are even fewer people in the village. Those who are left are old people. What awaits them is loneliness. Now there are basically no people in the village, let alone old people.
My family never moved out because I wanted to study. They wanted to send me to college. We have a saying there: poor children can only get out of the mountains by studying. After graduating from college, I worked in Guangzhou. Until now, I have slowly started a family and started a business. Then I brought my parents with me so that I could take care of them. I was not used to it at the beginning. The place was unfamiliar and boring. As time went by, I got to know more people. Dancing was only at night. During the day, I spent more time sitting at home. Looking at their mobile phones, or looking at their mobile phones in the room, sometimes they wonder whether they should buy an apartment in a small town and go back to live there when they have time.
In order to alleviate this embarrassment, my parents found something to do so that they would not be bored, and then they could dance at night. This kind of life has lasted for 6 years. What is obvious is that my parents talk less and are not feeling well in their hearts. I am very happy and have lost a lot of weight. I feel quite uncomfortable. There are no more people from my hometown here, no more common topics, and some are just waiting for the passage of time.
Do people spend their whole lives to raise the next generation, then take the next generation of children, go through the motions, and leave when they are a hundred years old? Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if I were gone. No breathing, no companionship, no relatives, nothing...
When I have extra time, I will take my parents back to my hometown to visit more...
