day.

Xu Hong and Chen Nianxiang walked slowly along the mountain path.

Xu Hong glanced at him and said, "Uncle Nianxiang, tell the truth, the first time you have come to our small mountain village when you returned to the mainland, what is your impression?"

Chen Nianxiang: "It feels very friendly when I returned to the mainland. Although I was born and raised in Taiwan, the mainland, especially this is my first hometown! Ah! My ancestors used to live here for generations, but later I went to Taiwan just because of my father, which made me arrive there. But in general, my roots are still here!"

Xu Hong: "Uncle Nianxiang, you said so well!"

Chen Nianxiang: "Well, in order not to let me forget my motherland, my ancestors, and my hometown, my father gave me the name of Nianxiang. That means that although I am in Taiwan, I must care about my motherland and always miss my hometown."

Xu Hong: "The name grandpa gave you is great! Although we are separated from each other now, I don't think it will take us long to go back to Taiwan's embrace of the motherland."

Chen Nianxiang happily said: "At that time, we will be free to travel between the two places, and we will never have to be as troubles as we are now."

Xu Hong nodded: "Well, I hope this day will come soon!"

They walked and spoke as they came to a high place.

day.

Xu Hong and Chen Nianxiang stood on a high place and looked into the distance.

The sunset is setting, and the red sunset shines in the sky.

Under the dense forest, a small mountain village appears and disappears.

Chen Nianxiang looked at it and couldn't help but say, "Oh! This scenery is so beautiful! Ah!"

Xu Hong: "Well, when I first came, whenever I rested, I would come here alone, looking at this beautiful and charming scenery, which was fascinating."

Chen Nianxiang: "Oh! Honghong, how many years have you been here?"

Xu Hong: "I have been here for eight years."

Chen Nianxiang: "Have you been here for the past eight years?"

Xu Hong nodded: "Yes!"

Chen Nianxiang: "Have you ever felt lonely when you were alone in this remote place?"

Xu Hong: "I did it when I was alone at night, but when I thought of so many students around me, I was driven away."

After hearing this, Chen Nianxiang smiled and said, "Honghong, it seems that you are such a unique girl! Ah!"

Xu Hong looked at him and asked, "Uncle Nianxiang, why do you think so?"

Chen Nianxiang: "You think about it! After a girl graduated from college, who doesn't want to leave herself in the city and live that kind of superior life? Ah!"

Xu Hong listened silently without saying a word.

Chen Nianxiang: "And you, you lost your superior life left in a big city and willingly came to such a remote and backward small mountain village to teach as a teacher. What does this mean?"

Xu Hong: "What does it mean?"

Chen Nianxiang: "This means that you are very independent and have strong will, and it is not simple."

Xu Hong smiled: "Uncle Nianxiang, are you praising me too much? Ah!"

Chen Nianxiang: "No, it's not a compliment, it's a fact."

Xu Hong: "How could I be as good as you said."
