I love this country. But it somehow is still like a foreign country to me. The United States is also typical of the capitalist system. Therefore, I experienced three regimes, two countries, and two systems. In my earlier life, it is the richest part of Chinese history and the richest part of world history. I have been through all these.
The course of my life is very complex, rich, and colorful. Many living things happen at my feet. These stories have love and hate, there is history, and there is something personal. Among them, there is success, there is failure, there is experience, there is a lesson, and its path is rondo and fold. Sometimes it is smooth sailing, sometimes the waves roll, sometimes it is breezy and sunny, and sometimes is stormy.
In 1994, I returned to my long-lost hometown. This was the second time I had come back after nearly twenty years. The last time was in 1975. I saw my classmates and friends when I was a kid. Of course, the American professor returning to his hometown still caused a lot of sensation in the village. Some people who used to bully my family had also come to visit. After a few decades, the hometown had been unrecognizable. After the reform and opening up, the people’s lives had improved considerably.
However, local governments were lacking environmental awareness and the concept of uniform logging. The construction of houses was extremely disorganized, turning the beautiful mountain village into a mess. I am very sad. I’m always dreaming. If I have hundreds of millions of dollars, I must first go to transform my hometown. I am going to dedicate this book to my hometown. If only my book could be published, I’m going to use all my contributions as a fund to raise money for rebuilding my hometown.
