I would love to go and live in the rural countryside one day!!

My family has been living in cities so long that we have forgotten something so simple and beautiful as rural life.

I can't even see the stars in the sky anymore, there are skyscrapers everywhere!

I was setting up schools in South East Guizhou a few years ago, and I enjoyed the rural life.
You do have to give up a lot of creature comfort though.

Beautiful,some of the scenes still exist in early 1990s,but all disappeared now,even I'm borned in the last year of 1980s,those imagines remide my child time,in that time,most people still stay home,didn't go to big cities,many traditions still keep by people alive.Now the old China disappear year by year,when I go to rural countryside,the villiages are mostly only lived by some old people,the rural countryside became empty now,China changed completely in our period,I know it's progress,but as a person have nostalgia,I still feel gentle sadness.When I go back to my homeland,the places I studied and played disappeared,and all things changed
Modern children born in big cities,live in tall buildings,they are quite,lost the ferity our(and more older) generations have
