My home town is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice.
我的家乡是一个美丽的地方。它毗邻一条宽阔的河流这里盛产鱼和大米。
But in the old days it was a poor and backward little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life.
但古时代，这是一个贫穷落后的小城镇，许多人没有工作，他们过着艰苦的生活。
In 1949 my hometown was liberated. Since then great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Factories, schools, hospitals, cinemas and theatres have sprung up one after another. The life of the people is greatly improved.
1949年，我的家乡解放了。自那时以来已经发生了很大的变化。街道被拓宽，工厂，学校，医院，电影院和剧院如雨后春笋般涌现了一个又一个，人民生活得到很大提高。
I love my hometown. All the more I love its people. They are working hard so as to make it still richer and more beautiful.
我爱我的家乡。所有我爱的人。他们辛勤工作保持着它的美丽和富饶。
