Through the window of the bus, I was totally fansinated by the beautiful blue sky, the endless green land, the lovely farmhouses and the white fat sheep. It was my first time to see such high and pure sky. Even though I was just a passerby or a traveller, I couldn't help to jumping out of the car to hug with the land. How happy the people here were! Because they had their fertile land and created their sweet home.
Suddenly, fragments which came from the novels (such as GONE WITH THE WIND), movies and history books become an integrated whole-I understood that why people regarded land as their life and the relationship between land and home.
Rooted on the rich land, people worked industriously, created their home and family and live in harmony with the nature. They knew where they came from, who they were and what they belonged to.
But how about us?
We were born in the jungle of cities. Everyday, we have to crowd with each other and compete with each other. We've lost the relation with our great mother-the land and the nature and have to find our way back home lonely.Who are we? Where do we come from? Many doubts puzzle us and may last through our whole life.
Standing on the land and overlooking the sky above, maybe in this way, we can find our way home.

Hi Fandy
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a beautiful poignant piece of writing. The way you describe things is really wonderful. Does this mean that you think that China and the UK are the same in that we have all forgotten how to live with the land?

ReplyDeleteI think maybe it's a problem puzzling the people who live in the city, are busy in dealing with trifles and can't have enough chances to get close to the nature. Therefore, it doesn't mean that China and UK have all forgotten how we live with the land. What's more, it may be a common prolem through out all the industrial areas.
