You may be familiar with my hometown Yangzhou. Here, with fertile land and rich specialties, it is a well-known "land of fish and rice" and "land of lotus roots" with rich resource advantages. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March". Here, with beautiful scenery, pleasant scenery, simple folk customs, outstanding people and talented people, it has a long-standing humanistic advantage.
Now whenever I see this row of tall buildings, it always reminds me of my hometown when I was a child. In the past, people in my hometown were poor and lived in shabby thatched cottages. The thatch on the house began to rot because of the wind and sun. When it rains, the rain seems to want to join in the fun. The room was full of raindrops, so everyone had to move home overnight. At that time, the school was a house with civil structure, mottled earth walls and no glass. In winter, the howling cold wind is biting; In spring, raindrops fall from the hole in the house, and the sound of "tick" and the sound of reading make up a discordant tune.
Mud-walled adobe houses are gone forever. High-rise buildings have sprung up and office buildings are row upon row. Every family has moved into a new building, and people's living standards have been significantly improved. Everyone has no worries about food and clothing, and the material level has also improved unprecedentedly.
I remember when I was a child, life in our family was extremely simple, clothes were patched and food was tight. I remember that we grew up eating green vegetables and flour. Since the implementation of the contract responsibility system, the yield per mu of rice has been above 1200 kg, and the yield per mu of wheat has gradually increased from 2300 kg to 8900 kg. The grain at home is gradually abundant, and the output of lotus root is also increasing rapidly. Moreover, lotus root products are exported abroad, and the days are getting more and more prosperous.
Everything in the past is terrible. Since the reform and opening up, earth-shaking changes have taken place in my hometown, showing a thriving scene everywhere.
Now young people in the village, like people in the city, only take a few days off to go home during the Spring Festival and the busy farming season. After the work at home is finished, they will soon charter a car or train to all directions and embark on their "jobs".
What is even more exciting is that another "expressway"-"information expressway" has been set up in the farmhouse. Some villagers bought computers and connected to the Internet, and some even opened Internet cafes in busy areas. This information superhighway has brought benefits and convenience to the villagers. Brother Zhao next door bought a computer for his family because he was doing business outside. In order to facilitate contact with his family, he applied for a QQ number for his family and taught them video chat. Whenever he can't go home during the Chinese New Year holiday, he has a video conversation with his family, especially audio video. It's like thousands of miles away. Old people at home often boast happily about the rapid development of society and the improvement of life quality. In ordinary families, computers have quietly come in handy, trading with others online. The Internet has brought great changes to people's lives, and the big stage of rural development is quietly being built.
Time flies, the sun and the moon fly like a shuttle. Great changes have taken place in my hometown in the past 30 years. My hometown, my lovely hometown, you are my eternal love.
