I remember when I was young, my grandfather’s cousin in his sixties, after recovering from his second stroke, insisted that his son take him back to Shandong—their hometown—from Inner Mongolia, which is over 2,000 kilometers away. After returning to Inner Mongolia, he suffered another stroke not long after and passed away as a result. When I heard this news, I was a bit confused – if he wasn’t feeling well, why not rest properly at home in Inner Mongolia? Why go all the way back to Shandong just to visit? The closest person to me is my grandfather, and we don’t keep in touch very often. Of course, when their family came to Shandong, my grandfather, uncles, and my father all welcomed them warmly and treated them generously. My father told me that when he was young, he often played with me, the son of his grandfather from Inner Mongolia who had come from afar – the same son who later took him back to Shandong. As time passed, I left Shandong after studying, went to work outside, and got married and started a family. Before I knew it, I had reached middle age. During holidays, I return to Shandong twice a year to see my parents. However, as my parents have grown older, my understanding of my \"hometown\" has changed a bit; now I gradually understand why my great-uncle insisted on returning to his hometown in his final days of life. Because his hometown holds his happy childhood, his wonderful memories, and the warm, safe, worry-free life experiences that his parents gave him! His hometown is the place where his life began; as his life comes to an end, he wants to enjoy once again the warmth and happiness that existed at the start of his life. Of course, this warmth and happiness exist only in his memories. And his hometown, this land, is like a mother’s embrace, allowing him to rest there and quietly reminisce... I recall leaving my hometown in my youth and traveling to Inner Mongolia, where I worked hard from dawn to dusk, enduring harsh conditions in order to provide a better life for my family; over those years, gradually, my family grew with grandchildren... Winter gives way to spring, year after year; I will grow old as well, but my hometown will not. The willow trees in spring will always sprout green buds. Look! That is---home!
A casual creation, shared with everyone! :)
Good, welcome to post more on our forum.
These minor emotions really add flavor to things. This article is perfect to read to the accompaniment of this song. It’s only after turning thirty that one realizes that whatever is meant to happen will happen sooner or later. It’s only after turning thirty that one understands one should love if they want to. Before thirty, one imitates others in matters of romance; after thirty, one can only stare at one’s own wife in silence. It’s only after turning thirty that one realizes how many childhood memories there are, yet one had to endure them willingly. Thirty springs pass by without seeing the thirty-first bloom, and thirty autumns go by without finding the thirty-first basket of wheat. It’s only after turning thirty that one realizes changes occur faster than planned. It’s only after turning thirty that one understands that nothing will be too bad. Before thirty, one has wild dreams of exploring the southeast and northwest; after thirty, one keeps spring, summer, autumn, and winter all outside. It’s only after turning thirty that one realizes that the rivers keep flowing eastward, taking everything with them, generation after generation, with new generations emerging. No one can win against the race against time, nor can anyone lose the love that has been given. It’s only after turning thirty that one understands this
Hehe, as the people around us gradually leave, we must cherish them even more.
The more experiences one has, the more insights one gains. Leaving your hometown, you come to understand the feeling of leaving home at a young age and returning only in old age, as well as gaining a deeper insight into these words.

Oh, I hadn’t noticed; mainly because I haven’t learned the moderator training post yet.
