The New Face of Hometown —— 600 Words of Tongliang Composition

One morning fifty years ago, a middle-aged man took one last affectionate look at his hometown where he had lived for half his life and set foot on the road to leave his hometown.

That man is my grandfather. That day, he got up early in order to see his familiar hometown again. He doesn't like loitering, but he made an exception and took a walk around the ancient town of Sui 'an. Touch the broken city wall with those weather-beaten hands, and set foot on the street paved with bluestone with those feet accustomed to mountain roads. He really wants to seal everything in front of him in his mind, even a crack in the wall, even a bird in the sky, even the old pagoda tree with a crooked neck at the gate ... everything that used to be unremarkable is so important to him now.

Grandpa left after all. He immigrated to Jiande and settled there. Through hard work, life at home has gradually improved. The face of the old town of Sui 'an always haunts my grandfather's mind. Every evening, after dinner, grandpa always sits on the threshold in the sunset, looks at the direction of the old city of Sui 'an and turns out the dusty old city of Sui 'an in the deep memory. He seemed to have returned to his hometown. He saw those ancient buildings and pedestrians rushing by on the road paved with bluestones. He smelled all kinds of snacks in shops on both sides of the road and heard the shouts of vendors. Whenever he thinks about it, he laughs. But when he realizes that everything around him is no longer the scenery of his hometown, he often shows a sad expression. He really hopes that one day, he can go back to his hometown and see the changes in his hometown. However, he finally failed to achieve it.

My father and I fulfilled our last wish on behalf of my grandfather and returned to Chun 'an. At that time, Chun 'an was not what my grandfather described. There are no low and old tile houses here, instead, there are rows of buildings; There are no vendors selling by the roadside, but lively and prosperous markets; There are no wheelbarrows, only beautiful streamlined cars and motorcycles. ...

It turns out that the ancient Sui 'an has been sleeping under Qiandao Lake, and the young Qiandao Lake town, Chun 'an county town bred by it, is striding towards us. A clear lake, several green hills, 20-to 30-story high-rise buildings rise into the sky, cars flow endlessly on the wide expressway, and there are all kinds of spacious supermarket goods ... speedboats gallop past the lake, stirring up waves, and many Chinese and foreign tourists swim in this landscape ...

The construction of mountain city is still developing rapidly, and it is difficult for an album to hold the new look of Chun 'an for 50 years. Pick a few clips! Father also said with emotion. This year, in Tomb-Sweeping Day, my father and I took a photo of the Thousand Island Lake Chronicle Monument and the new tourist pier, and brought this embodiment of beauty to grandpa's grave. When the breeze blows, I seem to see Grandpa smiling for the prosperity of his native land, like Qian Qian, a wanderer who walked out of Chunsui County. ...
