33. When you leave where you lived before, you will find how much you love the hometown. Many people don't have a deeply understanding of Shanxi. They think it is too poor to live in and the natives still stay in the "yaodong". Of course not. Living a poor life is the history long long ago. We also have tall buildings and everything other cities have. So as many years went by, there are great changes there. But what still keeps is the characters of the people. The people are kind. They are always glad to give you a hand. Certainly it has something fascinating. I'm proud that my hometown is such a famous place. Xi’an is famous for Bingmayong. It was Ying Zheng’s graveyard. In the 20th century, people were digging that in Xi’an. So the sign of Xi’an is Bingmayong. Guhantai is a place of Hanzhong. Today many people know Hanzhong, because Tong Xiangyu is there. Hanzhong isn’t only famous for Tong Xiangyu, but also famous for Guhantai. I love my hometowm. It is the most beautiful province in my eyes.
