China's Rural Revitalization:
Creating a Peach Blossom Garden in the New Era
"Do we have to go back?" I asked my mother reluctantly before I got into the car.
Mom replied without hesitation, "Of course, you haven't been back to your hometown for many years, and grandparents miss you."
Indeed, I had been so busy with my studies before my entrance exams that I hadn't been back to Hukeng - the little-known town where I was born and spent my childhood. As far as I can remember, my hometown, nestled deep in the mountains, was remote and backward, with mud roads, sewage rivers, and farmland everywhere. I didn't understand why my grandparents never wanted to leave.
Mom knew my inner reluctance, but she just gave a mysterious smile and said, "You'll know when you get there."
Hukeng is famous for its tungsten mines, and the vast majority of the town's people are engaged in mining-related jobs, and my grandfather and father are no exception. The mining of tungsten brought temporary prosperity to the town, but the overexploitation of natural resources caused serious ecological damage, and later the tungsten mines were depleted, and more and more people left their hometown for the big cities.
I couldn't help but sigh in the car, saddened by the decline of my hometown. Without realizing it, we finally arrived at the town deep in the mountains. However, when I pushed open the car door, I was immediately stunned by the sight in front of me.
The sewage river, which was full of garbage and smelled foul in my memory, was now crystal clear. The winding paths in the mountains, which people used to struggle to walk, have now been renovated into convenient thoroughfares, and cars can drive directly to the doorstep. Once one had to go to the bathroom in a shed in the farmland, but now there are public toilets everywhere, and they look very clean, no worse than in the city.
What was even more surprising was that I thought I would have to adapt to the simple life back in the countryside, but my grandmother told me that I could connect to the wifi if I wanted to play with my cell phone, and that I could buy any snacks I wanted from the supermarket in town.
My mother took me to my grandparents' new home, which was no longer a dilapidated bungalow, but a sophisticated building instead, which I heard was built with government subsidies. Mom also told me that the farmland across the street would soon be developed into a sea of flowers, and that a film and television base would be built in the future, and that many people would come to visit the town, driving the local economy, and our town would become better and better.
It turns out that not only am I growing up, but my hometown is also getting better and better. There are countless mountains in this great land, and there are countless towns like this one in the mountains, all of which are revitalized with the support of national policies. This was also the first time that I deeply realized that China's Rural Revitalization did not just exist in distant documents, but was actually happening around me.
After a while, my three uncles also brought my cousins back to the town, and we sat around and had a reunion dinner after a long time. The quiet town was enveloped in a harmonious atmosphere, like “Peach Blossom garden” in the new era.
Before returning to city, I said to my mother fondly, "We should visit home more often in the future.
中国乡村振兴：创建新时代的桃花源
“一定要回去吗？”临到上车之前，我还是不情不愿地问妈妈。
妈妈毫不犹豫地回答：“当然，你已经很多年没有回家乡了，外公外婆都很想你。”
的确，高考之前一直忙于学业，我已经很久没有回到浒坑了——在这个不为人知的小镇我出生并度过了童年时光。在我的记忆里，坐落在大山深处的家乡偏僻落后，泥巴路，污水河，到处都是农田。我不明白为什么外公外婆一直不愿意离开。
妈妈知道我内心的不情愿，但她只是露出了一个神秘的微笑，说道：“你到了就知道了。”
浒坑因钨矿而出名，镇上绝大多数人都从事着和采矿相关的工作，我的爷爷和爸爸也不例外。钨矿的开采给小镇带来了暂时的繁荣，但对自然资源的过度开发使得生态遭到严重破坏，后来钨矿枯竭，越来越多的人离开家乡去往大城市。
在车上的我不由叹了口气，为家乡的衰落而感伤。不知不觉中，我们终于到达了大山深处的小镇。然而，当我推开车门，立刻被眼前的景象惊呆了。
记忆里堆满了垃圾、散发着恶臭味的污水河如今变得清澈见底。山中蜿蜒的小路，原本人走得都费劲，如今全被翻修成便捷的大道，车可以直接开到家门口。曾经想上厕所得钻进农田里的棚子，如今公厕到处都是，看起来很干净，一点也不比城里差。
更令人惊喜的是，原本我以为回到乡村就要适应简陋的生活，但外婆告诉我，想玩手机可以连接wifi，想吃什么零食镇上的超市都可以买到。
妈妈把我带到外公外婆的新家，不再是破旧的平房，取而代之的是精致的楼房，听说是由政府补贴盖起来的。妈妈还告诉我，对面的农田马上会开发成一片花海，以后要建成影视基地，很多人都会前来观光，带动当地经济的发展，我们的小镇会变得越来越好。
原来不仅我在成长，家乡也在变得越来越好。在这片伟大的土地上有无数的山，而山中有无数个像这样的小镇，它们都在国家政策的扶持下焕发生机。这也是我第一次深刻认识到，原来乡村振兴并不只是存在遥远的文件和话语中，而是真实发生在我的身边。
过了一会儿，三个舅舅也带着堂哥堂姐回到了小镇，我们围坐在一起，久违地吃了一顿团圆饭。宁静的小镇被和谐的气氛笼罩着，像极了新时代的桃花源。
回城之前，我恋恋不舍地对妈妈说：“以后我们要多回家看看。”
再次祝贺唐同学取得优异成绩。在这背后，一定离不开她的辛勤付出和厚积薄发。作为社会主义新时代的青年，如何讲中国故事，如何讲好中国故事，是一个值得我们深思的问题，也是我们义不容辞的使命。让我们期待更多的优秀学子将日积月累变为硕果累累，将学识化为本领，讲好我们独一无二的中国故事。
