When I was a child, the countryside was a simple and vibrant place. I remember that at that time, every morning barefoot, carrying a pair of broken shoes, stepping on the muddy dirt road to school, although it was difficult, but I did not feel hard. At that time, like other rural children, I enjoyed the gifts of nature, did not care about food and clothing, and only pursued the joy of playing.
In the spring in the countryside, when the wind blows the wheat waves, I will walk through the golden wheat fields, only to feel the wind blowing in my ears and blowing my hair. In front of me is a lush field, where farmers are working hard, and the majestic seedlings are dancing, giving people an endless hope and joy. At that time, the countryside was a place full of hope and happiness.
However, as time went by, I grew up and left the countryside in pursuit of a better life. Now, when I reminisce about my rural life as a child, I can't help but feel emotional. The mud houses, the big pond at the east end of the village, and the vegetable garden by the pond have all become the best memories in my heart. However, what cannot be returned is the passage of time, and the appearance of the countryside has also changed dramatically.
The Spring Festival is about to usher in, and the mood of going home is quietly born again. However, today's Spring Festival can no longer replicate the lively scenes of the past. When I was a child, the streets and alleys were filled with the smell of firecrackers, and the children in the village could be heard playing everywhere during the winter vacation. Killing pigs and making dumplings is the most lively way to celebrate the Spring Festival. However, people are busy and tired nowadays, and some people may not have arrived home in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and they will leave their homeland to wander on the third day of the new year. The figure of busy people obscures the feelings between people and makes people feel dim.
The change in the countryside is not only in the special moment of the Spring Festival, but also on ordinary days. Many villages have become sparse and sparse, with only a few families remaining. Many rural people choose to leave their hometowns, buy houses and settle down in county towns or urban areas, or leave their hometowns and go away from their hometowns, in order to be forced to live and pursue a better life. Today's countryside is no longer the countryside of the past, things are people, and the older generation is like leeks, leaving the world one by one. The younger generation will never be able to go back to that rural time of the past.
The continuation of life is a kind of inheritance, but with the changes in the countryside, our days have gradually become nourishing. However, is this also accompanied by a change in people's hearts? The new pace of life caught everyone off guard, and the rapid development of society forced people to follow the rhythm. But in the process, I don't know how many people feel lost and helpless about the sense of belonging in the countryside.
Maybe you have lived in the countryside before, or maybe you have also lived in the countryside for a period of time, and you have deeply experienced the changes in the countryside and the tenacity of rural people. Today's countryside is no longer what we remember, and we can no longer go back to the rural times of the past.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the plan of the year lies in spring. For rural areas, the Spring Festival is an important moment. It represents both celebration and reunion, as well as nostalgia for the memories of the past. However, today's rural areas have undergone earth-shaking changes, with mud roads turning into asphalt roads, mud-tiled houses turning into buildings, and people's lifestyles changing dramatically. This change is inevitable, but we must not forget the dedication and tenacity of rural people.
The changes in the countryside are a reflection of the times and a witness to social progress. However, in this fast-paced society, should we once again recall the good times in the countryside, feel our connection to the countryside, and cherish those emotions that have been gradually forgotten? Perhaps, returning to the countryside will bring us some experience and enlightenment, and make us re-examine the essence and meaning of life. In any case, the countryside is our common root, no matter where we are, no matter what our living conditions are, this land will always be our background, and we all have our own rural complex in our hearts.
