It is estimated that many people will not feel homesick now. Now people are bent on moving from the countryside to big cities. The idea of escaping from the countryside is the goal of most rural youth.
Fortunately, we can still see this beautiful quality of "returning to basics" in the older generation.
In the small village where I live, more than 20 families, more than half of them have their own factories in Shanghai, big or small. The big one earns tens of millions or even billions a year, and the worst one won't lose money. So young people buy villas in Shanghai or abroad, and then take the old people to live there. It's just that people of uncle's generation usually take over and will come back soon. Tell them to go again, they will be angry.
The prosperity of the city can't attract them. For them, staying in a house with limited space in the city every day is better than cooking in the countryside or inviting several people to get together and play a table of mahjong. Visit friends in other places. If the distance is not far, walk slowly. If the distance is far, drive your own battery car. Usually you can make many friends in the next town. Like my uncle, I am cheerful and humorous, and I can meet acquaintances wherever I go.
In the city, people who live opposite may not even know what they look like.
Young people have no roots. As a rural person, I sometimes wonder, in a few years, when the old people are gone, will many houses in rural areas be unpopular? And the kind of homesickness that the older generation of literati said, is it that no one can understand anymore?
