Everyone has a home, everyone has a place of birth and growth, so everyone has his own hometown. So what changes have taken place in our hometown these days?

In the past, our hometown was a land of plenty. There are trees, rivers, small fish and shrimp in the river, lotus flowers on the river, and lotus seeds are like showers. Moreover, there is a pond around every household, uncles can go fishing, aunts can wash clothes by the pond, and children can swim and play in the pond. Now, the land of fish and rice has become a developed town. Most ponds have been filled up and tall buildings have been built on them.

Traffic and economy were not as developed as they are now. There are few cars and motorcycles on the road. People mainly ride bicycles and walk. "Phoenix" bicycle was the most advanced means of transportation at that time. This kind of bicycle has big wheels and high seats. It is made of steel, so it is very expensive, hundreds of dollars each. But now this brand-name bicycle in Shanghai is rare.

According to my mother, few people had televisions before, but my mother's house was the first in the village. That's a 14 inch black and white TV. People in the village went to my mother's house to watch TV after dinner, and there were rows of people standing outside. Mom also said that people used to cook with firewood, carry water and wash clothes by hand in the river.

Nowadays, people drive cars and motorcycles through the streets. Nowadays, there are many styles and brands of cars, and now every household has a TV set, a gas stove, a rice cooker and a washing machine.

People used to wear clothes made of "very cool" fabrics. It's good. Now, there are various clothing brands, including Disney and Emic. As long as you have money, you should have everything.

Life used to be really difficult, but now people's lives have improved, and more and more families are heading for a "well-off family". These changes are attributed to the reform and opening-up policy. As the successors of 2 1 century, we should study hard and contribute to the bright future of our motherland.
