我个人认为,“故乡”这个词指的不只是出生地,就拿我来说吧,我是江苏东台人,在上海读的大学,毕业之后就没想过回去。人就是这样,见过更好的、更高端的、更丰富多彩的生活,你就不想再回到那个相对闭塞的小城,即便那是你的故乡。那是2000年,我疯了似的找工作。我父母都是工人,这方面帮不上忙。我母亲在电话里说:“李童,你多努力,能留下就别回来。”我是家里唯一的孩子,家里倾尽全力供我上完大学,就是希望有一天我能出人头地。 Personally, I think the term “hometown” refers not only to the place of birth, but for me, I am from Jiangsu Dongtai, a university in Shanghai and never thought back after graduation. That’s the way people are, seeing better, more sophisticated, more colorful lives, and you do not want to go back to that relatively closed town, even if it’s your hometown. That was 2000, I was looking for a job crazy. My parents are all workers, this can not help. My mother said on the phone: “Li Tong, you work harder, you can leave do not come back. ” I am the only child at home, my family did my utmost to finish college, is hoping that one day I can excel.
