Villagers In Memory◇ 记忆中的村民

The community of my village was like a sturdy house, the villagers as the bricks played significant roles in supporting the community, and the relationship among them was very close. I remember the local people usually made mud bricks for constructing their houses before. However, people can easily buy bricks from factories, now. This consumer lifestyle has influenced the close relationship of the local villagers. All the bricks laid out orderly in the farmland symbolize the local farmers standing upright in my memory. And the relationship among villagers was like the hooks of xanthiums, closely hooking up with each other.
(我村里的社区过去就如一个坚固的房子，村民在这个社区中扮演着重要的角色，那时人们的关系也非常紧密。我记得当地人过去常常自制泥砖来造屋子。然而现如今，人们可以从工厂里面购买砖瓦。这种消费生活方式已经影响到当地人们的紧密关系。农田中所有排列整齐的砖块象征着我记忆中矗立在田间的农民。那是村民之间的关系，犹如苍耳子的钩子，彼此紧紧相连。)
