(Long serial, Dakeng cautious)

For more than a month, I always wanted to write something. Especially when we witnessed the Australian media repeatedly spreading rumors and slandering China, while the domestic elites still talked about the beauty of the Western world with wishful thinking. I also want to summarize what I have seen and heard in the past three years as immigrants. I know that many brothers who have gone abroad or are seeking to go abroad may not want to see it. But leaving these words will at least keep me awake.

Before I went abroad, Australia in my eyes was as beautiful as the full moon overhead, mysterious, bright and distant.

For three years, I have seen the far side of the moon and know its coldness and darkness.

1. Why did you leave? --We are birds without nests

When I was in college, one of the most touching movies was "Forrest Gump". Jainne was seen kneeling in the field with Forrest Gump in tow, praying like God, asking the Lord Almighty to turn himself into a bird and fly as far as possible, as far as possible. In the background is his rough father, a dilapidated wooden house, empathizing and crying.

As a person who was born in a remote area in the 70s and can never erase the memory of childhood poverty, my destiny is only far away. I don't know how many people have had the same experience as me, but two-thirds of my high school classmates who were lucky enough to get into college with a 1:7 acceptance rate left the province. All of my college classmates from cities below the county level chose Beijing, Shanghai, and other large cities in China when they graduated. In the summer of 2000, I returned to my hometown of Chifeng and met a classmate who had returned to the local area after graduation, who had been laid off and was worried about his livelihood and the cost of his children's nursery classes. A person who is not yet thirty years old looks as if he is in his forties. At the class reunion, everyone invariably mentioned the advice of the class teacher in high school, "If you can be admitted to college, you must take the test in other provinces, take the key points, and don't come back!" ”

"Go as far as you can, and don't come back!" This is not a curse, but a blessing from the heart. With this blessing on my back, I was admitted to a university in Nanjing in 1991, and I was inexplicably excited. At the same time, an alumnus of the liberal arts class was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, and his family held a banquet.

The farther you go, the better, because there is only poverty to stay in your hometown. Behind this is a terrifying figure, a city in Inner Mongolia has an annual output value that is not as good as a county in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The state's investment in a city in Inner Mongolia, in the nineties, was not enough for Beijing to build a Xizhimen bridge. The subsistence relief for laid-off workers in Beijing exceeds the income of workers in small counties in Inner Mongolia.

I left, ignorant, and flew away in the blessings of my elders. After finishing university in Nanjing, I experienced the prosperity of the outside world for the first time. After graduating, I came to Beijing and found that Beijing was bigger than Nanjing, and my life was more stable.

The outside world is always better than my hometown, and the experience of living at home has convinced me and many of my peers of this law. In my senior year, some people started taking the GRE and TOEFL, seeking to go further afield.

"I'm going to America! Never coming back in this life! A student from Xinjiang said. His parents went to Xinjiang in the 60s to support national construction, his father died in the catastrophe, and his mother, a staff member of a state farm, was immediately facing resignation.

"No matter where you go!" A senior who was 12 years older than me and worked in Shougang traveled to almost all the embassies in Beijing in foreign countries, from Britain to India, and even to a small country in Africa with many wars and disasters.

The world outside is always bright and beautiful, and the experience of life and the lengthy descriptions of travelers abroad in the press have created a paradise world, where there is no fraud, no power fraud, good social welfare, and always courteous to people......

A friend who went to live in Australia for three weeks came back and decided to immigrate and never gave in. "Even if I die, I will die in the Australian sun!" Her words sounded chilling.

A female master of a certain university made friends through the Internet and married a foreigner as she wished. The whole department was in an uproar, and the next day, most of the girls became members of the dating site and flocked to it.

The above is not a joke, it is all facts that I have heard with my own eyes or ears.

We are like a flock of tireless birds, just want to run into the distance, to the nest that we leave behind, although nostalgic, but never dare to look back.
