My hometown

I come from a small village in China. My hometown is surrounded by mountains with a small river running through it. Although the world outside is getting more and more polluted, this small village keep what remains the same as it has been for hundreds of years. The mountains are still green and the river, which is the home of various types of fish, keeps clean. We grow vegetables and raise poultries just for our own family's demand. I left this quiet village when I was 13 years old to attend the junior high school, but no matter where I am, the villagers have left a profound influence on me. My parents told me to be tough, honest, diligent and willing to share since I was a little girl, and this is what all the parents there require of their children.
