Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
……
——John Denver,《Take me Home, Country road》
Every time I hear this country folk song, I can't help but hum along. This time on the way back to Chaoshan, I hummed this song again.
"Country path, take me home...", this classic that has been sung for many years, there is pure air in the melody, there is the call of hometown, there are long-lost people waiting for reunion, how many wanderers who have wandered away from home have evoked nostalgia and shed tears.
In fact, the country roads are very common, and perhaps they are as potholed and dusty as they used to be. I remember riding a bicycle when I was a child, and I also galloped on such a small road, constantly moving forward, forward, and yearning for the bigger world outside.
At the end of the path, there is hope and infinite possibility.
Later, many young people like me left home, carrying their bags from the country lanes to the far side, getting farther and farther away from home.
On a moonlit night in a foreign country, I suddenly remembered the potholed and dusty path in my hometown.
In fact, the country road is not ordinary, it is connected to the hometown at one end, and the other is connected to the far side, it sends the wanderer out of the countryside, and then brings the wanderer back to his home.
Depart and return, sunrise and sunset, wash away the wind and dust to comfort homesickness.
Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, back to the Chaoshan high-speed rail, it is the twilight, the sunset is gentle, adding homesickness, looking at the original scenery of the hometown outside the window, I can't help but think of "floating clouds wandering, sunset old people's feelings" .
The yearning to return to the original home of mankind is philosophically defined as a nostalgic impulse that exists in the eternal conception of mankind.
The memory and pursuit of our hometown is actually the only way for us to confirm our self-identity in this chaotic world, and it is also the process of purifying the soul and tending to truth, goodness and beauty.
The clouds of the hometown, the mountains of the hometown, the water of the hometown, the people of the hometown, everything, give us the tired soul to soothe and baptize.
"Country path, take me home..." At this moment, this simple and moving country folk song sounded in my ears again. Country paths take me home to the original, most authentic beauty.
Remember nostalgia, remember where it came from.
Some people say, "Those who can't go are called far away, and the names that can't go back are called hometowns." "But in fact, no matter how far we go, how long we are away from home, as long as we keep such a spiritual home, such a spiritual homeland, and remember such a way home, then we have not actually gone far."
After walking through thousands of rivers and mountains, watching the ups and downs of the tide, I understood:
Leaving home is to go home.
