My hometown is a small mountain village in the south. I have lived here since I was born, so I have witnessed all the great changes with my own eyes.

Twenty years ago, the village was far from the outside world. The roads were narrow and muddy. When the rainy season came, it was almost impossible for cars to drive in or out. Most families lived in old wooden houses. Few children could receive good education. Most young people left for big cities to look for better-paid jobs, leaving the elderly and little kids behind. The river running through the village was polluted by waste from small workshops, and fish could

hardly be seen in it.

Thanks to the support of the government and the hard work of all villagers, everything has turned better little by little. Wide asphalt（沥青）roads have been built. A high-speed railway station is only 40 minutes’ drive away. New schools and a village hospital have been put into use. Young people have returned home. Some run online shops to sell local fruit and hand-made products. Some work in the newly-built tourist farm. Workers have cleaned the river and planted thousands of trees along the banks. Now the river is clear again, and wild birds come here every spring.

The village is not perfect, but it keeps moving forward. These changes tell us that nothing is impossible as long as we keep working together.
