No matter for what era, the city is always a symbol of civilization and advancement. It is the frontier of the direction of development of that era, also the warehouse of material aggregation, but also the dense population of large villages.

"When I entered the city yesterday, I returned with tears all over my towel. Those who are covered with roses are not silkworm breeders." I have forgotten the author of this poem, but I remember its content and understand its meaning better.

The city is the aspiration of many farmers' children, and they want to make their best efforts to realize their wish to leave the farm. So they go to the city in a steady stream to realize their ambitions.

The city is noisy, but it is also bustling. When we need prosperity, we can ignore the hustle and bustle. This is like the psychology of a person when buying something, we often wishful thinking to pursue the desire for good value for money. But in fact, we are very difficult to achieve this wish. If you once pursued beauty, then the price is not expensive. If we once pursued cheap, natural things can not be beautiful to wear. Although this truth is not absolute, it is widely used. Because it is difficult to get both fish and bear's paws. Because many things in the world are in a bipolar or multipolar pattern of plate life. Our nature of survival in the cracks may be the decision to make a kind of demand that suits our development in opposition.

The city is a river of water, and what we see is often only its dynamics. Perhaps only in the crashing waves of the old and the new, we can not see the dead silence of the pool water.

The city is a hotel, it can take you in when you are rich, it can expel you when you are broken.

The city is a home without a fence, it can also welcome you when you come, and it can also send you off when you want to go.

The city is a stern instructor, he gives you only cold training after the task, as for your life and death and honor and shame, are in your struggle and control.

The city is also a stage, you can be a pillar of the country in the self-directed performance, and you can also be in and out of his guidance in his performance in the runner.

The city can be known by many names, and you can play many roles, but you can only end up in two ways. Either in the outstanding in it is held up, or in the out in it is left out. It is not your parents who do not speak of affection, it is not your wife regardless of love, and it is not your friends who do not talk about friendship. It is just a judge, only on your win or loses, only to see your strength or weakness, it is weighing. It is just a casino, not to see how much you bring, only to see how much you bring, only to see how much you participate in this group, the overall left for it, it is counting.

There are no winners here except it. Because those winners in its eyes, although temporarily won, are jockeying again for a bigger win, just for the fame and fortune it rewarded or left and right. As for those losers who lost, still left for it to reward and left and right fame and fortune, only this fame and fortune are lost to others and themselves.

The city is a city of people, but people are not necessarily the people in the city. The city has begun to compete with other cities in today's extremely developed era, and as for the old short houses that once remained in the years, they are quickly covered up by their new appearance. It is not always the city people who build the blueprint of the city, nor is it always the city people who serve the city, but it is the city people who embellish the city.

The city has been stuffed with tall buildings and cars. The people who live in buildings are city people, and the people who spend their days recreating are also city people. But the building and building repair must be the rural people, only their physical strength can bear this heavy responsibility. The villages in the city that were once as common as the countryside are beginning to disappear, and they, who were once farmers, can naturally excel in this present-day situation of timing, location, and people. While they lost the memory of showing their old homes to their children and grandchildren, the outsiders lost the residential houses suitable for them to pitch in.

These outsiders began to live in the disorder of no fixed place, so one after another set of people began to wander again, so one after another set of people began to live in the higher rooms that could not make ends meet, so one after another set of people began to quit the city one after another, returning to the barren hometown where there were too many monks and too few porridges. Because in their view, in the passive backwardness, at least can be flat into the flat out, rather than active aggressive in the income is not enough.

The city is a very attractive geisha in their view, but she only allows you to admire her when you have money, otherwise, there is no other way. The city is a very attractive geisha in their view, but she only allows you to admire her when you have money.

I don't know when the city can all people can go, all people can live, all people can swim. This may not seem difficult, but it is difficult. Because the city is only a place for outsiders to find gold, medical care, consumption, and accommodation. But the city is the settlement of people, profit, play, and nature. The city has always liked to accept the strong and expel the weak, this is the nature of the city, but also the nature of people!
