My hometown is mountainous and beautiful but poor and backward. My home is in a mountain valley hundreds of miles away from the city. Before going to high school, I had never been out of the embrace of the mountains. To be honest, I have never cared much about the development or changes in my hometown. I didn't have this kind of consciousness before I went to high school, and I didn't have time to care after I went to high school. Even more than two years ago to go to college in another country thousands of miles away, and lazy to care. Because the speed of economic development in my hometown is so disappointing compared to the cities in the Pearl River Delta, it makes me sad to mention it.
But to say that the hometown changes, I think maybe we can do a simple, superficial summary of it: more money, people "lazy"; high buildings, dirty water.
The spring breeze of reform did not seem to blow into our remote mountain village until the late eighties. Prior to that, people in the village, young and old, were working hard to make a living in the soil. But the land we love so much did not give us much in return. In addition to farming, there was not much other income in the village, and many people had skills and were able to work hard, but there was no place for them to show their skills. In the last few years of the 1980s, people in the village no longer counted on the land. They heard that there was gold in the city outside the mountain, and they went out one after another. Young people, middle-aged, skilled, unskilled, all want to go out to pick up some gold back. They go is a year and a half, come back, although not full of gold and silver, always more than the soil out of the plow. So in the home rest on ten twenty days and went out. Those who stayed in the village were mostly old people and children. By the mid-1990s, even teenage children in the classroom can not sit, many of them are crowded south to work on the train. With fewer laborers in the countryside, the land that used to be cleared by hard work grew back into weeds within a few years. In recent years, a lot of paddy fields have been deserted. Farming is too hard, and when the family has money, who wants to suffer? In the past, just a few days after the Spring Festival, the field will be busy figures. Nowadays, it seems to be a shame to go to the field without the Lantern Festival. Rural women who stayed at home would get together every now and then to play cards in their spare time, something they never dared to think of before! On sunny days, they would go home in the starlight, and on rainy days, they would come and go in the wind and rain, and they would not have a few days of rest all year round.
In the past few years, buildings in the village have been popping up from all corners like bamboo shoots after the rain. Three or four floors, some of which are beautifully decorated. Even if it is only a one-story, not a building, it looks much better than those mud brick houses. The interior decoration is not to mention, smooth to shine out of the shadow of the floor tiles ah, gorgeous wallpaper ...... is simply to take money to the wall, take money to the ground paved. It is only brush on the white lime looks also much brighter, no longer like mud brick house as dark, depressing.
But what makes people very uncomfortable is that the water in the stream is getting dirty. In the past, when they couldn't afford running water, people in the village drew their water from the stream that runs through the village. The first thing the village people did when they got up early in the morning was to pick the big water tanks in their homes full of water for the day. When we were young, we used to swim in the creek. When we were young, we used to swim in the creek and sometimes drank from it when we were thirsty. Nowadays, not to mention picking water from the stream for cooking, even washing vegetables and taking them home, we have to wash them once or twice again with tap water. In summer, when we see the dirty water, we no longer have the urge to jump into it. The scene of fish swimming in the water cannot be seen nowadays. Everywhere in the stream and along the streamside are all kinds of garbage, and some of those plastic bags have long been discolored, but they just won't melt away. The villagers used to dump all the garbage into the stream, believing that the stream would take away the things they didn't need. Or pile it up in the open space in front of their door, and when it accumulates too much, they light a fire, so the trash goes up in smoke while they talk and laugh.
It can be expected that in the future the life of the people in the village will become better and better, the money will be more and more, the building will be higher and higher. Will people get lazier and lazier? But will the water get dirtier and dirtier? The village people's this kind of "lazy", the older generation is not used to see. But it's a sign that life is getting better! It is the future generations of the village that will benefit. The children in the village have gotten used to the increasingly dirty water. The victim is not also them?

"Yangyang, go back home?" Today is Sunday, my mom asked me while packing. "Hmph! I'm not going back." With that, I turned my head to the side. "Why?" Mom asked me. "What's so good about the old home, the roads are muddy, every time I go back, my shoes are full of mud, the houses people live in are shabby and rotten, and if it rains, it becomes a waterfall cave, I'm not going back!" I replied with an unhappy face. My father heard what I said and came over with a smile, "The old home is very different now, you can't always look at things from the old perspective!" "Really? Then I'll go back and take a look." I was reluctantly pulled into the car by my father.
After more than an hour of bumpy ride, we finally reached our destination. I got out of the car and took a look, ah! Is this still the old home? How come it has changed so much. I saw that the dirt road leading to my grandma's house had been turned into a wide and flat asphalt road. As far as the eye can see, both sides of the road are full of leafy trees, and behind the village are endless green rice paddies. Looking at the green rice paddies, I felt like I was looking at a landscape painting.
When I came to my grandma's house, the phenomenon in front of me stunned me: is this my grandma's house? Am I going to the wrong door? I saw in front of my eyes is a red brick green tile, spacious and bright house, the house has all kinds of household appliances. I remembered that my grandma used to live in a broken and old house with a broken roof, and on rainy days, when I entered the house, it was raining heavily outside and drizzling inside, even if I took ten pots to pick up the water, it wasn't enough. In addition to the radio that mom just bought for the old man, other things are broken out of shape. I'm not sure how much my home has changed in just a few years, but I'm surprised that it has!
At home, my grandma told me: "In the past few years, thanks to the party's reform and opening-up policy, the farmers' life is getting better and better every day, you see, the original soil house, tile house has become a spacious and bright building; the former muddy road has become a wide and flat avenue. Every family has bought a motorcycle, and people are running ahead of schedule to become well-off!"
Changed! Really changed! Reform and opening up has made people's lives better and better!

My hometown is in Yongding, Longyan, where the economy is not developed, people's standard of living is not high, living in low thatched roofs, cottages, few buildings, potholes in the streets, and very few means of transportation, only tricycles, vans, and often traffic jams. People's quality is not high, spitting, littering, discharge of sewage, so that the river has been seriously polluted ......
However, today, due to the party's reform and opening-up policy of the people's hearts, so that today's hometown of Yongding has undergone a sea change: you see! That wide roads, all the way; skyscrapers, everywhere; a variety of supermarkets, stores, scattered; majestic overpasses, flying north and south; clean streets and colorful tiles, so that people are in a comfortable mood to walk, gossip; green as the green belt, exudes a variety of flowers, refreshing, people linger. Holidays, people in groups to the park, go on field trips, fully enjoy the leisure of happy times, the newly opened Sugo Supermarket and Trade and Culture Square, every day a sea of people, people store, a large number of shopping; large and small restaurants, each with its own flavor, attracting customers from all directions, Yongding, this ancient and beautiful city, is moving towards the development of the metropolis... ...
The most unforgettable is the night scene of Yongding, you see, the colorful neon lights, the streets and alleys illuminated; rows of street lamps, the highway illuminated as day, from a distance like a fire dragon, so that the drivers drive a very safe; and then there are a variety of colors of the laser lights, sweeping in the night sky to sweep, so that Yongding into a "the city that never sleeps".
Ah! I love my hometown--Yongding, Longyan!
(4) Changes in my hometown
My hometown is in Foshan, which has changed a lot!
I remember when I was two or three years old, the houses here were so dilapidated and old, low and short, the roof was made of tiles, and when it rained, the tiles weren't strong, and water dripped down from the tiles, which was disgusting. At that time, the naive me, can not help but produce such a question: why this house is so shabby, disgusting it?
Early childhood, after all, is short. Time flies like an arrow, the years go by, I was seven years old to school, this house has changed, low damp brick houses were demolished, covered with blocks of buildings Avenue, that building is not like the former as only made of bricks and mortar, only one floor, now has changed to steel, cement, porcelain tile ...... and seven or eight floors as high as the building, there are terrace gardens it. All around the planted some flowers and trees, said to purify the air. Households are equipped with windows, so that people can see the outside world. All year round, flowers, plants and trees bring beauty to the house.
Four years have passed since then, and there have been new changes here; high-rise buildings have sprung up all around. Not only planted trees and windows, but also paved with colorful tiles, on the walls and on the ground. In the future, the rain can be worried about this, after the rain out of the sun can also see the colorful rainbow. There are not only lights, but also air conditioners. The air conditioner can emit both cold air and hot air, so it is the best of both worlds! The house is changing day by day, getting better and better every year. People's lives are also sesame seed blossom, higher and higher, the day more and more red.
Ah, the changes in Foshan can be really great, when I grow up, but also to build the motherland
My hometown Foshan
Speaking of Foshan, we must be very familiar with it, because we live in Foshan. But how much do you know about Foshan? How much do you know about the changes in Foshan? Let me tell you.
Before the reform, Foshan was still a small town, the road is bumpy, when it rains, the road is muddy, and people live in hardship, even the problem of food and clothing are difficult to solve. Now, Foshan has established a city, open up, many enterprises have come to Foshan to invest, built a high-rise buildings, the original dirt brick road into a road made of cement, the traffic is also much more convenient. Now, people's living standards continue to improve, not only material needs, people pay more attention to the spiritual culture. For example, the popularity of computers and television.
Last year, Foshan added new eight scenic spots, which provide very convenient services for tourists. Foreign languages have also become an essential learning program; a variety of skills, talents and abilities are also being promoted to people ......
Foshan will also engage in the future of the first ring, the second ring, the third ring road, so as to make the transportation more convenient, to attract more people to come to Foshan to start their own business, investment.
Now, do you understand Foshan and its changes?
