children born in the mountains

Reminds me of the life I lived with my grandfather in the deep mountains of Inner Mongolia when I was a child. The conditions in all aspects were extremely backward. Some villages even had no electricity and were lit by kerosene lamps, but they lived a very fulfilling life, feeding horses, tending sheep, and going to the door. Playing by the river in the mountains, picking mushrooms in the pine forests up the mountain, going to the top of the mountain to look at the towns in the distance, I feel so far away and yearn for me who has never walked out of the mountains. When I was at the age of school, I was taken to the city by my parents. Every time I took the bus, I got motion sickness. When I went to the nearest town, I walked through mountains and rivers, and it took half a day to get back to the village. I remember going to Nangou with my father one winter vacation. In order to take a shortcut, we had to turn over the ditch. There was a spring up the mountain. In winter, it was frozen into a whole slope of ice. Walking on the thick ice, I accidentally slipped and fell. , Fortunately, in the panic, I grabbed a sapling and did not slip from the ice slope into the ditch, but my face hit the ice heavily, my nose bleed, and my glasses were broken! This is not the first time I have fallen so badly. When I was a child, I went to the well with my grandfather to fetch water. The well was also full of ice. Before I got to the bucket, I fell to the side and smashed my forehead. Oblique scars are still evident.
For a long time, I went to school in the city, and the transportation was very inconvenient. Until I went to college, I would go back and have a look every time I was on vacation. Every time I went back, I felt a sense of joy. Later, when I went to work, every time I went back, all the pressure and all the troubles would disappear. Until this summer, grandpa left without warning, and then went back to the depths of the mountain, on the top of the Danan Mountain, a little more sentimental! ! !

Hunt for the Wilderpeople quotes

  • Hec: Pretty majestical, aye?

    Ricky Baker: I don't think that's a word.

    Hec: Majestical? Sure it is.

    Ricky Baker: Nah, it's not real.

    Hec: What would you know?

    Ricky Baker: It's majestic.

    Hec: That doesn't sound very special, majestical's way better.

  • Ricky Baker: That's not very fair. Some people can't even have babies, and the ones who can, they don't even want them.
