Time flies, and it has been 20 years in the blink of an eye. When we look at this familiar and strange world again, we can't help but find a thought-provoking phenomenon: the once prosperous city seems to be bound by an invisible shackle, and the people in the city, whether rich or poor, seem to be trapped in a huge whirlpool. At the same time, those peasants who were once forgotten in the corner have quietly become the darlings of the times.
Once upon a time, farmers flocked to the cities, eager to change their fortunes by buying houses and cars. For the sake of a seemingly glamorous city life, they did not hesitate to bear a heavy mortgage, and since then they have embarked on a seemingly bright but full of hardships of no return. The whole family is busy with the interest from the bank, and before they know it, the black hair has turned into white hair, and the weight of life takes their breath away. High parking fees, strata fees, and the increasing cost of living have made them feel more stressed than ever.
At the same time, the air in the city is filled with the smell of gasoline, and the noise and pollution make it impossible to sleep. People begin to miss the forgotten rural life, the fresh mountains and rivers, the beautiful countryside, and the tranquility and serenity. As a result, wealthy city dwellers began to return to the countryside, where they built houses, fenced yards, and planted vegetables and garlic. They found that in rural areas, the pace of life can be slowed down and consumption can become more rational.
People who returned to the countryside had happy smiles on their faces. They enjoy the beautiful natural scenery, breathe the fresh air, and feel the tranquility and beauty of rural life. Concrete roads lead to homes, and they can even enjoy the beauty of the countryside from their own cars.
In the past 20 years, we have seen great changes between urban and rural areas. Perhaps, this is a profound lesson that life has taught us: true happiness does not lie in where you are, but in your inner satisfaction and peace.
