Some people still live in their hometown. Others, however, may visit their hometown only once or twice a year. Today, millions of Chinese are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities.
有的人仍住在他们的故乡。然而，另一些人可能一年仅看望故乡一两次。如今，数百万中国人离开农村去城市寻找工作。
Zhong Wei, a 46 year old husband and father, is one of them. For the past 13 years, he has lived in Wenzhou. Because of the hard work in the colored pencil factory, he didn't have much time to visit his hometown.
钟伟，一位46岁的丈夫和父亲，就是其中一位。在过去的13年里，他住在温州。由于彩色铅笔厂里的艰难工作，他没有太多时间探望他的家乡。
"I went home at least once a year, but now I haven't gone back for at least three years, which is a pity, but I just don't have time," he said.
“我过去一年至少回家一次，但是现在我至少三年没有回去了，实在是遗憾，但我就是没有时间”他说。
Zhong Wei is very interested in how their hometown has changed. Maybe big hospitals and new roads have emerged. In many places, the government has also built new schools and sent teachers from cities to help.
许多像钟伟一样的人都以极大的兴趣关注着他们的家乡发生了怎样的变化。也许大医院和新道路出现了。在许多地方，政府还建了新学校，并且从城市派遣老师来支教。
