Features: In the intersection of three counties, there is a grassland. On the edge of the grassland stands a small village, so insignificant on a 1% scale map that it lacks even a dot or a circle. That was my hometown. The people there mostly did not travel far beyond a hundred or sixty miles, had never seen trains or boats, had never seen asphalt roads or skyscrapers. There was fertile land. I tasted the flavor of my hometown from the sweet rice grains. I did not bring joy or pride to the people there, but I left behind my childhood footprints; a child's heart; and my childhood dreams. How I wish to return, to relive every emotion and scene of my childhood.
