What is your hometown? It is a piece of salt meat hanging on a high roof beam, with black peppercorns dotted on it, and occasionally rust-colored salt water dripping; my hometown is a clear river, with countless big-bellied fish busily shuttled at the bottom of the shallows...
Hometown is the smoke from cooking under the blue sky, the green mountains that can be seen at a glance, and the loud "brother" of the little girl next door.
My hometown is a place I have been determined to escape from since I was a child, but I still dream about it every night after leaving.
I admire the creator of the movie "My Hometown and Me" very much. The grand human emotions are divided into five stories, trying to awaken the audience's cries; in a certain sense, They were successful, even if it was not detailed enough to cover the rich nuances of everyone's hometown organization, even if there were hints of parallels.
What really caught my attention in the movie may not be the homesickness it most wanted to express, but the distinctively representative scenery of China. For a veteran traveler who likes to travel far and wide, it is not surprising that I have been involved in all five story backgrounds in the movie: east, west, north and south.
Watching "My Hometown and Me", I didn't feel much nostalgia, but it prompted me to revisit it.
1. "A UFO Falls from the Sky"
UFO movie poster
The unit drama UFO was filmed in Qiannan, Guizhou, southwest my country.
The Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village, which has mixed reputations and reputations, is located here. Forget the disdain and accusations on the Internet, in fact, the distinctive regional characteristics of the world's largest Miao cottage are quite fascinating.
Walking around in the village, the Miao wooden stilt house allows people to instantly enter the wonderful realm of "peeping". There are mottled old houses and long stone roads all the way. In this uneven stretch, history is like the Baishui River passing through the village. It looks crystal clear. Who knows how many little-known secrets are hidden in it?
Qianhu Miao Village will have a Miao song and dance performance at 11:30 every morning.
Graceful Miao Girl
The graceful Miao girl wearing silver jewelry dances, her beautiful and enchanting light overpowers the shine of precious metals.
The fish in sour soup with physalis made from small tomatoes is a famous dish in Guizhou, and the Miao family’s secret recipe is the most authentic. Therefore, when I came to the village, I had to try it. Eat and drink until it gets dark. The beauty of "thousands of flowers blossoming on an east wind night" is not only seen in Tokyo.
Brilliant
There is no need to "look back suddenly, but that person is in the dimly lit place", just sit quietly, and the prosperous world deep in the mountains suddenly falls into a dream.
In addition to the Miao Village, this unit also selected Pingtang Sky Eye as the filming location.
The 500-meter-diameter radio telescope is located in a karst depression in Pingtang County. It is China's largest eye for exploring the mysteries of the universe.
Starry Sky
Accompanying the "Eye" is a cool astronomy experience hall. It is of great significance to bring children here to visit the great achievements of astronomy and touch the infinite future. Educational and entertaining. The more curious humans are, the farther they can go.
2. "The Last Lesson"
Class Movie Poster
The filming location of "The Last Lesson" is Qiandao Lake, Zhejiang, 2 hours away from Hangzhou by high-speed train. Belongs to East China region.
In the midsummer of 2019, I spent three days in Qiandao Lake. I still remember the feeling of laziness under the gleaming light of the lake.
Because I was too lazy, I did not experience the spectacular scenery of the more than a thousand islands in Qiandao Lake. I only stood on the shore of the lake with fishing boats rippling, and felt the quiet loneliness of the years. The delicious taste of the fish head soup pot next to the windmill has also been forgotten, but the crisp fragrance of freshly peeled lotus seeds occasionally lingers on my lips.
I took my primary school students with me to Qiandao Lake, so I wholeheartedly agree with the theme expressed in this episode. From this, my impression of Qiandao Lake has improved to a new level.
Twilight in Xiuhu Lake
I found the photos I took last year. At dusk, the gentle movement in the silence seemed to be very close at hand.
The main filming location in the film is Xiajiang Village, which I have never been to.
If I had known that its school was as beautiful as a work of art, no matter how poisonous the sun in Qiandao Lake was, I would have gone to see the happiness of the children regardless.
Dream School
3. "The Magic Brush Ma Liang"

I am really proud, China has a vast territory and abundant resources, stretching from east to west and from north to south. This is not just a matter of paper.
As soon as the painting style of Northeast China came out, the smell of sorghum residue that filled the screen was almost overwhelming.
The filming location for this episode is Daomeng Space, a very modern name, located in Xinglongtai Xibo Town, Beixin District, Shenyang.
The vastness of the Northeast Plain cannot be covered. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the endless rice fields are slowly laid out. The precise and lifelike shapes make each artistic painting stand out on the rice fields.
Daomeng Space
Sitting on the 27-meter viewing platform specially set up in the scenic spot, taking photos from a bird's eye view, you can have a panoramic view of the three-dimensional rice field paintings. It seems shocking, but if you taste it carefully, it has a romantic taste. There is a unique entrepreneurial passion stirring up.
4. "The Road Back Home"

"The Road Home" is the road to the Northwest. Where is the most popular travel spot this year? Great Northwest!
This episode of the film was filmed in the Mu Us Desert, a barren land that has lost all its dignity and has been transformed into an oasis. It is located in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province.
The Mu Us Desert is actually not much to see. It has no scenic elements as a tourist attraction. However, you have to know that the place where those inconspicuous trees took root was once ravaged by wind and sand, and it was a lifeless desolation. The aspirations behind it The spirit is more moving than many scenic spots.
Driving along the sandy road, the winding green trees look like soldiers waiting for review. Their solemn power and self-confidence are conveyed by them, hitting their passionate chests.
Green Maowusu
No need to say anything more, this is a miracle of the world, coming from the great China!
5. "Beijing Good Guys"
Good Guys Movie Poster
This episode goes straight to the point and directly tells everyone that the filming location is in the capital, Beijing.
I went to Beijing for the second time in November 2015 and stayed in the Wangfujing area. The night I arrived, I strolled to South Tongluo Alley and fried liver, fried belly, and fried scorpions to comfort my longing.
Beijing is a city that is both classical and modern. It has both the confidence of its imperial roots and the spirit of advancing with the times.
Forbidden City
It is impossible to stay idle in Beijing. Visit the emperor in the Forbidden City, visit the royal gardens in the Summer Palace, and review historical lessons in the Old Summer Palace. The five-star red flag is raised in Tiananmen Square, the Badaling Great Wall is surveying the vast time, and a good harvest is worshiped in front of the Temple of Heaven...
What is difficult to forget is that after leaving the Temple of Heaven, follow Baidu navigation to walk to the Central Conservatory of Music Primary School, all the way in Beijing Walking through the back streets and alleys. I walked through the roadside vegetable market in old Beijing and took a quick look at the daily life of Beijing’s indigenous people.
We finally arrived at the venue when it got dark, and enjoyed a high-standard indoor music performance in the magnificent music hall of the attached primary school. I still remember the name of the kid who played the piano solo, his name was Wang Shuaiwen.
China is my hometown, and my narrow homesickness was inspired by "My Hometown and Me" to spread to all directions. Watching them getting better and better, my emotions are also surrounded by happiness, pride, and beauty...
When I feel homesick, I go on a trip. You can find every kind of beauty you expect in Great China.
