A 600-word essay about hometown or something

Xiamen is my hometown. I am full of affection for every mountain, river, plant and tree here. I often see from the Internet, books and newspapers, the mouths of elders, and my own eyes that Xiamen has undergone earth-shaking changes in all aspects in recent years. In particular, the quality of life of Xiamen people has improved, and their basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation have undergone tremendous changes.

First, let’s talk about the changes in clothes! In the past, the clothes worn by Xiamen people could be called old-fashioned and outdated. The fabrics and styles of their clothes were monotonous, and the quality of their clothes was not high. They were often threaded, and after washing, the bright colors would fall off. Because there were not many shops at that time and life was tight, there was no choice at all. Nowadays, the streets and alleys of Xiamen are covered with all kinds of shops, including brand stores, specialty stores and so on. The colors and styles of clothing are more diverse, and you can choose more independently. As the life of Xiamen people improves, people's clothing is also changing rapidly. Dressing emphasizes individuality and variety. Nowadays, people who lead fashion trends can be seen everywhere on the streets of Xiamen, which also brings highlights to Xiamen's cityscape.

Let’s talk about the changes in food! Whenever I was picky about food, my grandma would say: "Modern people are so happy. In the past, the important items for Xiamen people to solve food and clothing problems were food stamps, tofu stamps, meat stamps, etc. At that time, productivity was limited, material supply was tight, grain and vegetables were in short supply, and food Scarcity and monotony, lacking the most basic nutrition.” Nowadays, Xiamen's material life has been greatly enriched. Food markets, supermarkets, and hypermarkets are full of dazzling equipment. With improved living conditions, Xiamen people have higher and higher requirements for food. They must not only "eat well" but also eat healthily. , not only pay attention to balanced nutrition, matching thickness, and light taste, but also eat more vegetables and fruits and less high-fat foods. The southern Fujian snacks created by Xiamen people, such as shacai noodles, noodle paste, fried oysters and other foods have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Let’s talk about the changes in living! In the past, the houses in Xiamen were all small bungalows. As long as they were built to five or six floors, it would be great. Now, if you look at the houses in Xiamen, you can see high-rise buildings rising from the ground. The living area of ??Xiamen people has expanded, and their living conditions have improved. There have been significant improvements and there are more options for living.

Take my family as an example! In the past, seven people crowded into a 50-square-meter house. Today, my father, mother and I live in a spacious and bright 140-square-meter house. In recent years, Xiamen has begun to build affordable housing, providing affordable and affordable housing options for low- and middle-income families. The quality of such housing is guaranteed, the community environment is beautiful, and shopping and transportation are convenient. The improvement of Xiamen's living standards also reflects the improvement of Xiamen people's quality of life.
