There’s a chance I’ll never see you again
This is a testimony to a historical change in my hometown, where I was born in a small city in the interior of China. My ancestors lived here as farmers, with the development of urbanization in China, the original peaceful life was broken, the fields in my hometown gradually disappeared, replaced by high-rise buildings rising from the ground, and my family and I were forced to say goodbye to the land where my ancestors had lived and move to the city to live.My grandfather’s stony eyes seemed to be saying goodbye to all this.The disappearance of the fields did not only take away the land on which we depended for our survival, but also faded the hometown of our memories little by little in our vision.
漫长的告别
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市。我的祖辈以农民的身份在这里生活，随着中国城市化的发展，原本平静的生活被打破，故乡的田地逐渐消失，取而代之的是拔地而起的高层大厦，我和家人被迫告别祖先生活过的土地，搬到城里生活。祖父凝重的眼神，仿佛在与这一切告别。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。
