What's it like to listen to local old people telling stories while traveling?

To tell the truth, I like traveling and listening to stories, so it's really an unexpected gain for me to hear local people tell stories during my trip.

Travel is a process in which one broadens one's horizons, releases one's mood and gains many beautiful scenery. Of course, I can harvest some stories that I have never heard before in this process, which also adds more colorful to my trip.

I haven't been to many places because I don't have much free time and money. But I have also been to Phoenix in Hunan once, which is a well-known border town written by Shen Congwen. Many people want to see what this wonderful place is like.

Just because my family is close to that place, I have been there once. To tell the truth, the business atmosphere of Phoenix is quite serious now, that is, it is related to money wherever it goes. It makes people feel less human.

However, I don't like those tourist destinations where people are particularly concentrated. I especially like to see what the real humanistic life of the local people is like and what special humanistic customs there are. So I wandered around and accidentally came to an old man. He seems to buy bamboo products, because my family saw that there were many bamboos in his house, as well as the semi-finished bamboo products.

I went in, he was nice, and asked me if I wanted to drink water or something. I quickly said no, and then I just sat there and watched him weave bamboo, and then we started chatting. He told me many things. He said that when Phoenix was not very famous, there were not many people. But more and more people know that there are many people running hotels here and various facilities are constantly improving, but he still prefers his own lifestyle of weaving bamboo products. Because this kind of life is controlled by yourself, it is more leisurely.

Of course, he also told me many short stories, such as some things they knew about the past. There are also some short stories about Shen Congwen and them.

Really, the old people have a lot of treasures waiting for us to discover, because they have experienced many things, so when he tells this story, your personal knowledge and insight will be enriched.

There is also a traveler "miss layla" whom I pay close attention to. She is called Michael Chen's ex-wife, but I prefer her own identity. Personally, she prefers to travel because she likes the feeling of being on the road.

In her personal Weibo, she often shares some new places, such as Tibetan areas. Those ladies will share many interesting things, such as how to live on the grassland, how to make milk, and how we all know the butter tea came from. Although they are all small stories, I feel very happy and satisfied with the students' harvest of such a small story.

Therefore, it is highly recommended that you travel more and walk outside more, because if you really go outside, you will find yourself. With yourself, the world is so scarce and insignificant.
