Prose | Wang Man: Rural Sounds

Wang Man (Chengdu)

In everyone's life, there are 3 elements of life that cannot be separated: one is the mother, one is the hometown, and the other is the hometown.

The sound of the countryside is innate. When we fell to the ground, we heard our mother's first call, which was the country tone. From the beginning of this first call, the village sound cares for us for life, embraces us, accompanies us, and allows us to develop and grow into mature and old in the village sound.

We live in the country sound, like a fish swimming in the water, even if we leave our hometown, it is still the country sound that is engraved into the soul. The sound of the countryside reverberates all around us all the time, and does not resonate in the depths of our hearts. Even if the accent changes, the rural sound will become pristine in the dream, bringing us into the warm dreams of childhood. The hometown sound is a root in our lives; the hometown sound is a wisp of nostalgia that binds the wanderers of the end of the world.

The village sound is the seed of continuation in life, with an unchangeable inheritance code. Whether it is spoken from the mouth, whether it is thought in the brain, it will be constructed into a unique context. Even if you live in a foreign country for a long time, suddenly hearing a rural sound will immediately resonate with your soul, and suddenly close the distance of "originally being born from the same root": you can't help but think of the tiles on the roof of your childhood, you can't help but think of the old house covered with moss under the wall, you can't help but think of the smoke rising from the roof under the sunset, you can't help but think of the spinning wheel that the old grandmother shook - the long yarn drawn from the old grandmother's hand, pulling out the endless nostalgia. Even if the expatriates live overseas, they will be dragged by nostalgia to the undulating thoughts, fly through time and space, fly over Guanshan, and obtain infinite warmth and comfort from the thoughts of the homeland.

Since the rise of the migrant worker tide, migrant workers who have left their hometowns have become close to each other by virtue of a sound of rural sounds, and the rural sounds have become recognizers between each other. Everyone is reunited in the magnetic field of the township sound, condensed into a strong nostalgia, and the integration becomes an affinity: mutual discovery, mutual trust, mutual help, and the most hard-working mountain people quality, forming an indispensable urban construction service army. In this city, the original pronunciation of the local unification, because of the rural sound from the mountains, also brought a harmonious accompaniment to the city - bringing more simplicity, convenience, trust and tolerance.

The village tone not only transmits exchanges among migrant workers, but also radiates to the hearts and minds of urban people. They originally came from remote rural areas, far away from their homeland, diluted the rural sound, guarded a loneliness in the depths of the soul, and when they overheard the rural voice from childhood, they would think of their roots, think of relatives and friends on the other side of the mountain... The township music is like a long umbilical cord, closely linked to the blood of urban and rural areas, so that urban people better understand the hardships of migrant workers, the efforts of migrant workers, and the contributions made by migrant workers to the development of the city, so as to give them more understanding and care, and resolve their nostalgia away from their homeland.

Why does the rural tone have such a strong penetrating power? Because the country tone comes from the mother. Dante said: "There is one of the most beautiful voices in the world, and that is the call of the mother." "Even if you have reached middle age, even if you are already a pale face, the hometown voice can always talk and communicate with the mother in heaven."

The village tone does not change, and the mother is always there.
