Yancheng is a prefecture-level city at the junction of three provinces, and it only takes 30 minutes to drive from my home. The living habits of Yancheng are not very different from those of Xi'an, but the scenery of Yancheng is not as good as that of Xi'an, probably because the main development economy of Yancheng is factories.

When I was very young, my father took me to Yancheng once or twice a year, and I didn't travel far at that time, so I thought Yancheng was the biggest city. When I went to Beijing, I found that Yancheng was just a small city in front of Beijing. Although Yancheng is a small city, it has carried the memories of many generations.

When I was in middle school, my father was in business in Yancheng, and although it was not smooth, it was enough to support the family. After a long time, my father felt that this was not the way to go, so he returned to the county seat. Although the business in the county is doing well, all the raw materials and parts are purchased in Yancheng. So my father would drive me to Yancheng to pull goods in his spare time, when I was young and young, I thought that following my father would be happy. Actually, when I took over part of the factory, I found that these things were not as happy as I imagined, and I would not get home until 10 or 11 o'clock every night. When I got home, I didn't even want to wash my face and fall asleep in bed, and then I realized that my young father would want to be displaced if he was not forced by life.

Of course, there is sadness and joy. Many of my friends in middle school came to Yancheng to go to college, including Feng Xiao, his girlfriend and Ani, who had the best relationship with me. Feng Xiao studied logistics management in Yancheng. As for the specific content of learning, I don't understand, but Feng Xiao was my childhood playmate, so whenever I was busy with work, I would go to Feng Xiao's school to play with him. There is a salt lake in Yancheng, and whenever I am upset, I will come here with Feng Xiao to walk here, every year when the temperature is rising. The salt lake will turn rosy red, and when you see this rose-red salt lake, you will feel good. For foodies, when you are angry, you have to eat beautifully for a day. When I came to Yancheng, of course, I wanted to have a good meal. Yancheng people like to eat noodles, and there are many types of noodles, including oily noodles, pulled noodles, handmade noodles and scissor noodles and so on. The cultural differences between Yancheng and Xi'an are not big, so there is not much difference between the two in terms of food, such as Xi'an's mutton steamed bun and Yancheng's mutton Hubu, as well as Xi'an's meat sandwich bun and Yancheng's cake and meat. Every noon, whether it is a worker or a white-collar worker who has worked hard all morning, he will come to serve a bowl of noodles, accompanied by local unique strawberry juice, not to mention how fragrant it is. If there is a restaurant that suits my appetite in particular, I will go there every time I go to Yancheng for a meal. Feng Xiao often joked in front of his friends, saying: If Mr. Huang likes to eat something, then that family will definitely make a fortune because of Mr. Huang's customer. But after all, it's a joke, and a store will get tired of eating.

Ani was my middle school classmate, a very cheerful girl, and one of the few female friends I knew, when we were in school, we were stupid enough to shout and play with our friends on the playground, only to find out after graduation that everyone else was in pairs, and we were single dogs with few female friends. Ani studied kindergarten teacher in Yancheng. Unlike the Ani I remember, Ani also likes to make trouble with others when she goes to school. When Ani graduated, she behaved completely differently than before, and Ani worked hard to develop her career as a teacher, and became much more mature and stable than before. If someone asks me how a person becomes mature and stable now, I will tell him that time and social experience would be the best answer.

I have to mention that this is Guan Erye's hometown. When entering the city, the first thing that catches your eye is a 61-meter-high bronze statue of Guan Yu, which means that Guan Yu has been alive for 61 years. The base is 19 meters, implying that Guan Yu has lived in his hometown for 19 years. When I first saw this bronze statue, I was only shocked. This statue of Guan Yu is like a guardian who protects everyone in Yancheng.

Life is like this, sometimes it is unsatisfactory, but we must also maintain an optimistic attitude and face difficulties positively, and the end of difficulties will be bright.
