My hometown is called Xinzheng, it’s a small city of Henan province which is in the middle of China. It has about eight thousand years of history,and according to historical record that the founding hero Yellow Emperor was born in Xinzheng. So there is a celebration to commemorate Yellow Emperor every year on 3rd March, crowds of people even politician and celebrities will come to Xinzheng to join the worship on that day. I never joined the the celebration even though I had lived here for 20 years. I had a most simple period in my hometown till I went to university.And of course I love my hometown, but I know that it is not perfect.The traffic and the city planning there is terrible as a result of its large population.And for the same reason,the children in my hometown will be spend a hardest student hood.But somehow, people in there are simple and hardworking, so they still able to live happily and richly.Just few people like me are willing to leave there for a bigger city. I had left my hometown for ten years, I went back to looked in my parents about twice a year. Now I live independently in some other cities and I really enjoy being this way,so there’s little chances that I will go back to my hometown.

My hometown is called Xinzheng. It’s a small city in Henan province which lies in the middle of China. Its history goes back about eight thousand years, and according to historical records, the founding hero Yellow Emperor was born here. A large celebration to commemorate the Yellow Emperor is held every year on the 3rd of March, during which crowds of people including politicians and celebrities come to Xinzheng to join the worship. I never took part in the celebration even though I lived here for 20 years. I had a most simple period in my hometown till I went to university. Of course I love my hometown, but I know that it is not perfect. The traffic and the city planning there is terrible as a result of its large population. The large numbers of people living in Xinzheng means the children in my hometown will have a hard time during their student years. But somehow, people in there are simple and hardworking, so they still able to live happy and rich lives. Very few people, such as myself, are willing to leave for a bigger city. I left my hometown ten years ago, and during this time I went back to see (check in on my parents) my parents about twice a year. Now I live independently in a large city and I really enjoy being this way, so it’s very unlikely that I will go back to my hometown any time soon.
