Go farther and farther away

This is my testimony to a historical change in my hometown. I was born in a small town in the interior of China. My ancestors lived here as farmers for generations. However, with the development of urbanization in China, the fields in my hometown gradually disappeared and were replaced by high-rise buildings, and my family and I were forced to bid farewell to the land where our ancestors lived and move to the city. Grandfather’s solemn eyes, as if to say goodbye to the land. The disappearance of the fields not only takes away the land we rely on for survival, but also fades the hometown in our vision a little.

渐行渐远

这是我对故乡的一次历史变迁的见证,我出生在中国内陆的一座小城。我的祖祖辈辈以农民的身份在这里生活。但随着中国城市化的发展,故乡的田地逐渐消逝,取而代之的是拔地而起的高楼大厦,我和家人被迫告别我们祖先生活过的土地,搬到城里生活。祖父凝重的眼神,仿佛在与那片土地告别。田地的消失并非只是带走了我们赖以生存的土地,也将忆里的故乡一点点的在我们的视野中淡化。
