My hometown is Shangluo, which is a beautiful and charming place. That year, under the good policy of reform and opening up, the party's spring breeze blew into my hometown and awakened this rich land.

That year, Shangluo had not been upgraded to a city, and it was only a small town in the hinterland of Qinling Mountains. That year, the Xihe Railway had not passed here. No one thought that Shangluo would ask BYD to set up a factory more than ten years later. No one thought that Shangluo would have Shangdan Industrial Park, and even more thought that there would be a North Ring Road passing halfway up the mountain. That year, the expressway in Shangluo was just a legend.

That year, Jinfeng Mountain was still deserted, Guishan was still a barren land, there was no avenue by the river, and there was no Danjiang Park. That year, there was no Shangyang Square in the western suburbs, only the crisp and lonely birds singing in Lianhu Park.

At that time, the south bank of Danjiang River was just a wasteland, with no Jiangnan community and no Venice Water City. There was no real estate development in Shangluo that year, and the tallest building was only a ten-story telecom building.

There was no large supermarket in Shangluo that year, and neither Kedu nor China Resources Shopping Mall wanted to come here.

That year, a bowl of noodles 1.5 yuan, tofu 50 cents, Shangluo to Xi 'an 13 yuan, gasoline 1.7 yuan. In that year, sweet potatoes cost 20 cents, vegetables and fruits were rarely served together, pork was only the price of cabbage, and all the food was green and organic. That year, people had never heard of food safety, and milk powder was just a pure osmanthus brand.

That year, people didn't know that Shangluo was the most beautiful in Qinling, and a river of clear water had not been sent to Beijing. At that time, red carp could be clearly seen in Danjiang River. It snowed heavily that winter, and it rained very cold and violently in July and August.

From that year to now, decades have been unusual. It changed the face of my hometown and took away my hometown's past. For decades, my hometown has been changing day by day with the roar of modern bulldozers and people's exclamations. Shangluo that year has disappeared in the fleeting time of smoke.
