Some people still live in their hometown. However, others may only visit once or twice a year. Millions of Chinese leave the countryside (search) for work in the cities. Among these is Hua Xing. He (live) in Wenzhou for the last 13 years. With a hard job a factory, he seldom visits his hometown. "I haven't been back for three years. It's (shame)," he says. (develop) have been good in Hua Xing's hometown since 2002. For example, new roads (appear). A new school (build). However, some things will never change in his hometown. The big old tree is still beside the playground. Children in his time (usual) liked to play together under it. It was a happy childhood.
When I was about twelve, I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family. It was winter, and on that night the wind was really blowing hard.
As my mum and I headed to the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change(零钱). My mum right away asked where they lived. They pointed to an old car in a parking lot across the street. The girl said there were six of them living in that car.
My mum said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings(兄弟姐妹). But she didn't come. Later, I found out she had gone home and put all the food in our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family. I wasn't there when that happened, but I can only imagine the joy it brought to those people. A few days later, when I actually found out about what she had done, I asked her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remembered the face of that girl who had asked us for change. She was the same age as me, yet we looked so different.
Here I stood, dressed in almost new clothes, headed to eat in a restaurant and then went back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister. I remembered thinking the other girl didn't have any food to eat and that she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people.
After painting this picture in my mind, I understood why my mum had done what she did. I will never forget what she did that night, and how she taught me one of the best lessons I have ever learned.
