I am willing to let my hometown.

A Dong, a friend of Huizhou, and his party came to Qingdao these days, and we got together three times in four days. This goodbye has pulled out all my thoughts about Huizhou buried deep in my heart and filled my heart with wandering. I need to freshen up.
I used to be a wanderer. I have lived in Beijing, Rome, Milan, Huizhou and Hangzhou for a long time. Among them, my favorite is Huizhou, a small town in Guangdong.
At that time, after living in Rome and Milan for nearly ten years, my husband, Italian David, wanted to live in China. At that time, living in Italy was very comfortable, and it seems that whether to return to China or not has its own advantages and disadvantages. Respect his idea, I agree to return to China, but I hope to go to a strange place far away from home, which will bring me fresh feelings. When he put the name Huizhou before my eyes, I felt a little happy. Guangdong is both strange and familiar to me, and I still yearn for her. Take out the map, well, it's more than an hour's drive from Shenzhen, and it's also very convenient to go to Hong Kong, and it's only more than two hours' drive from Guangzhou. Not bad!

In June 2006, my husband and I happily parachuted into Huizhou.
As an expatriate of the company, we enjoy one-stop care from accommodation, transportation to catering. We first checked into the best Kangdi Hotel in Huizhou at that time. Apart from two trips to Italy and several short vacations, we stayed in this hotel for ten months of the year. In fact, after staying in the hotel for a long time, I feel inconvenient, such as the boredom of home furnishings; There is not enough space to put our own literary feelings ... but the advantage of staying in a hotel is that we have enough free time.
We often have dinner with Italian colleagues, buffet or Brazilian barbecue; Eat food stalls with local friends I know at work, or have morning tea and midnight snack ... among them is Adong. Adong is a local. He is gentle and considerate. He is a good badminton player, and we learned the basic movements of badminton from him. Mr. Wang is very tall, 1.9 meters. Although his movements are slightly uncoordinated, the advantages of long legs and long arms are obvious. Although I feel very athletic, I can only give up playing badminton with him. And when my husband and I tried to deal with Adong together, I saw him standing still, without exerting force or running, just deftly and easily waving a few beats, and then we were beaten in a big mess! Master is amazing!
Through the activities of the local website forum, we got to know the Dandan family from Hubei. Dandan's skin is white and tender. At first glance, he felt particularly comfortable. At second sight, he thought it was beautiful. She is high flyers from Wuhan University. She is a standard girl with both beauty and talent. My love for SLR photography was also introduced by her.
Through Dandan, we got to know the Aying family, a local girl in Huizhou. Together with our best friend, Wei, a beautiful girl who worked in Southern TV at that time, our four mothers gave birth to four little princes within six months. It has also become a lively thing for four hot moms to get together with babbling babies in their busy schedules.
Dandan's husband is especially good at making travel guides. He can eat and play. So after both children were two years old, we opened go on road trip, and the final destination was Qiandongnan, passing through Huizhou and Yangshuo. Qiandongnan is a place I have never forgotten and want to go back and see. Simple folk customs, distinctive national architecture, rich local customs and exotic festivals are my favorite tastes as a young literary artist.
Time flies. Ten years have passed since they first met, and both Dandan and Inging have developed very well. It can be said that they have all completed the rise from top students to business elites to entrepreneurs.
The year before last, Dandan came to Qingdao to play. We met at Luojia Coffee, catching up and taking photos.
In the evening, as a guest, she invited our family to dinner! Because her friend, the boss of a company, is the host. On the wine table, Danny asked for wine, which was very gentle and generous. Really handsome and cool!
A Ying, on the other hand, works as a media before making financial investment. Last year, she launched her own healthy lifestyle catering brand-weekend school. She said she hoped to have 48 hours a day so that she could work, take care of her family and travel!
The loveliness of small cities is that when you meet a new person, nine times out of ten, you will find friends with you. My husband will listen to Huizhou Radio while driving, and then lock up Candy Sister, who is also Aying's best friend.
Small towns seem to leave more opportunities for young entrepreneurs, but no matter where they are, successful people will have some common characteristics, such as lofty goals, perseverance, courage and determination. It is these people who, wherever they go, will strive to control their own destiny and make the world more comfortable and moving.

As soon as we arrived in Huizhou, we began to buy a house. After seeing several properties, we locked in Venice in the east. When decorating the new house, I met a sweet smiling aunt-cherry. She is a petite and weak Huizhou native, but also a top student of South China University of Technology! We install houses at the same time, and we are all guest decorators in our own homes. It's really interesting. His home is a perfect Mediterranean style, and I am a modern simple mix, such as gray walls with feather chandeliers; 10X 10 The small black-and-white brick wall is dotted with piano-key jumping notes, and occasionally there is a silvery white or gold ornament ... even the bricklayer feels my happy jumping mood. Although the decoration style is different from Cherry's, as shooters, we appreciate and flatter each other, and we always have a good time together. Her husband is a Hong Kong boy. Their love is sticky, and her husband vowed to give his beautiful princess the happiest life. He did it. They live a daily life many times sweeter than honey; Let ordinary days be as classic as their wedding anniversary.
(The picture shows Cherry's wedding ceremony. )
The Venice Community in the East is the most beautiful community in China today. All kinds of green plants, flowers, and bridges are scattered, watching tadpoles turn into frogs, and all kinds of bugs jump between rocks and grass. The weather in Guangdong is very warm in March. The outdoor swimming pool in the community is a paradise for everyone. Old children, older children and children can play in the water from four or five in the afternoon until it gets dark at night.
When I was playing in the yard with my son, I met Dudu's mother, who is also from Shandong. It hit it off with Binbin's mother in Nanjing. We became best friends. Living in the same community, it is convenient to meet each other every day. We visit each other, the children play together, and we talk about our husbands, families and beauty together. We are very relaxed and comfortable. Later, when we moved to Hangzhou, it happened that Dudu's mother's brother graduated from Hangzhou Conservatory of Music with a doctorate. We went to his concert together and got together again.
There are many delicious things in Huizhou. I have been eating rice rolls vermicelli soup every morning for several years, and my mouth is watering every time I think about it. After returning to Qingdao, I especially want to open a breakfast shop specializing in rice rolls, not for anything else, but to satisfy my mouth watering. Fat woman's seafood, casserole seafood porridge, roast whole sheep, lotus leaf rice, Cantonese wonton, and of course, meat dumplings and moon cakes! They are all fat but not greasy, and the more you eat, the more fragrant it is! Although Huizhou's friends haven't seen each other for many years, thanks to WeChat, many people still seem to be around. For example, Xiaoqing, an old neighbor, often brings news of new changes near Venice in the East. There is also Pierre, a neighbor who lives in Hangzhou and works in Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station ... Huizhou has a city slogan: Old Huizhou is new Huizhou, and those who live in Huizhou are Huizhou people! In this way, I am also very happy, because I am already from Huizhou!
Speaking of Huizhou's delicious food and various fruits, litchi is my favorite. Pick fresh litchi from the trees on the mountain, take a big bag home, and put it in the refrigerator after eating. Huizhou people say litchi is too angry and eats too much at a time. And I have the luck to eat, and I won't get angry if I eat a small box occasionally. I am very proud (Huizhou aunts will say "this child is so proud" when they see the child. Although I don't know the meaning of this word, I really want to use it here to express my "pride". ) I also ate super fresh durian, longan, mango, pitaya, pipa banana, small olive and grapefruit. Accompanied by so many fresh fruits and vegetables, I grew up in the north, so comfortable that every cell opened its mouth and breathed all the time, as if the air was full of vitamins. I especially remember that Dandan's husband loves jackfruit. Danny was driving that day (Danny was the most female driver I followed, and the scene of racing in an empty street at night after the concert was the fastest I had ever driven). Her husband took a whole jackfruit in his hand, broke one for us, and then broke a chew himself, laughing and speaking Southern Mandarin. His favorite song "Go to the seaside with you" came from the stereo.
Mr. Italy made many foreign friends in Huizhou. One of the best is Alex from America. Alex's wife, maymay, was born in Boluo, and his grandfather came to Hong Kong and later settled in England. Maymay returned to Huizhou and lived with Alex for five or six years. As a Chinese Englishman, her native language is English, and she can speak fluent Mandarin, that is, Cantonese, but she can only speak a little Mandarin and can't understand a single Chinese character. My husband and Alex are congenial, and we have many happy things together. Following Alex, we met Kevin's family from Taiwan Province Province. Their family has opened a farm paradise, which contains horses, cows, snakes, rabbits, all kinds of poultry and insects, as well as outdoor sports venues for children to play, and sometimes acrobatic performances. Their yard is very big, and they often hold barbecue parties. Every time, adults and children have a good time.

The eldest son goes to kindergarten at the age of two and a half. It is an experimental class based on children's psychological development, called acorn class. The founder is Beibei, who has been engaged in preschool education for more than ten years and wants to do something meaningful. There is a tall, thin and loud boy named Shuai Shuai in the acorn class. Her mother is an outdoor sports enthusiast and a master craftsman. She can cook all kinds of delicious food, such as pizza and soft sweet bread, which is n times more delicious than brand stores. She is very hospitable, and all kinds of names can be the source of her family dinner. From Shuai Shuai's mother's mouth, I first heard the words "Waldorf Education", and later my two children also went to Waldorf School in Qingdao.
I once told a mother in the acorn class that I really hope the world is beautiful everywhere. This mother is a outspoken person, she said, you want to make the world beautiful everywhere, just to make you have a comfortable living environment. Yes, yes, in such a comfortable environment in Huizhou, I have the idea of a small country with few people, that is, I hope to live in a beautiful environment, where everyone helps each other, cares for each other and is happy every day.
After living in Rome for five years, my view of social life is biased towards the mode that * * * was born in my hometown. At that time, I was still young, and I didn't even feel the need to get married. We are all brothers and sisters. Of course, this was only a theoretical idea at that time. However, starting from Huizhou life, it seems that there can really be a utopian paradise in the green mountains and green waters and in the tile houses of mountains and forests. Apart from the geographical environment, there are so many wonderful friends living in the present, and I think a beautiful home can be realized. ...
But Mr. Wang already wants to finish his work in Huizhou. I am reluctant to part with Huizhou, but Mr. Wang has arranged everything in Hangzhou, and he is ready for the next "adventure". Reluctantly, we left Huizhou. I am very, very grateful to my husband, who gave me a four-year holiday in Huizhou. Very, very beautiful.
Until today, our license plate number is still Yuelu-on the road, we will always be pioneers, but wherever we go, we will always carry the imprint of Huizhou.
