The Most Precious Memories My mother was born in a village, which is one of the most typical kind of Chinese villages, poor, but owning beautiful landscape and diligent people. The village lies in the northwest of Sichuan province. Though I was brought up in a small city where my mother works, I usually go back to the village with my mother, especilly when I was a child. In the deepest place of my heart, it is the warmest home and my sweet cradle, which contains too much precious memories. My grandpa and grandma live in a small cottage which is similar to every cottage of the little village. Behind the cottage is a pretty hill, where the villagers grow plants, vegetables, and grain. Of course my grandma grows, too. When I was a little girl, I used to take an umbrella with me at noon, run along the route on the hill, walk through the wonderful woods where green bamboo smiled to me, and find my grandma who was doing farmworks, with sweat dropping from her wrinkled face to the land. I would unfold the umbrella and try to prevent her from the hot sunlight, but usually in vain. When I did this, my grandma would kiss my face and embrace me, smiling, and her wrinkles booming like flowers. Sometimes I followed some children to bring the cattle to the other side of the hill, where grows many kinds of delicious grass to feed the cattle. Cattle were tame animals, never troubling their owners. So we could play happily when they ate grass. One of the thing I was most willing to do was capturing the butterflies. They usually flied before my eyes, showing up their pretty wings, but when I tried to capture them, they would fly away quickly. I was never frustrated, because I didn't want to own them, I just simply wanted to play with them. The most beautiful thing of the village, I think, is the river which flows quietly, not far from grandma's cottage. I love it so much. It was the paradise of my childhood, especilly in summer, because I could swim in it. On sunny days, I could spend a whole day with the river. In the morning, I used to play sand with other children. We could make castles, houses, and anything else with sand and water. While we were doing our great works, the river were flowing beside us, the sunlight shining on its little waves, making it seem like beautiful silk with golden color. In the afternoon, we could do the most joyable thing――swiming. The river was not too deep, nor too shallow, and was very suitable for swimming. As Sichuan children growing up with river, we were born to swim and good at swimming. At this moment, the river was not silk any more, but flashing crystal, embracing us nausty children kindly. I have left so many golden memories in my little village that I can't count them out. They are always lingering on my mind, taking me back to that previous time. As an adult now, I miss my childhood very much. My hill, my bamboo, my butterflies, my cattle, my river……Are you all fine? --------------------------------- Mp3疯狂搜-新歌热歌高速下
