A few days ago, my friend came back from Shanghai. I and a few "best friends" from Luoyang accompanied him to visit the Longmen Grottoes, watch the green cypresses in the Guanlin Forest, listen to the Buddhist music at the White Horse Temple, drink a small bowl of beef soup, and eat peonies. Yancai... My friend left Luoyang twelve years ago and wandered around. Seven years ago, he established an advertising company in Shanghai. Although the business was booming, he always felt that something was missing.

My friend said, "Beautiful or not, it depends on the water in my hometown, whether I am close to the people in my hometown." Luoyang, where I was born and raised, worries me the most. The water is sweet, the food is delicious, and the people are kind. After a few years, I have wandered enough, and I , I will definitely come back...

Every Chinese has a piece of hot land that they dream of in their heart, and every Chinese has a local sentiment that has been flowing for thousands of years in their blood, and "beautiful or not, The proverb "hometown water, relatives or not, hometown people" is often spoken by people and has become a vocal symbol of this sentiment.

The Xiongnu Chanyu forced him to marry a Xiongnu woman and gave birth to two children, hoping to keep him. However, more than ten years have not faded Zhang Qian's homesickness.

As time went by, the Huns gradually relaxed their surveillance of Zhang Qian. Zhang Qian took the opportunity to escape. On the way back to the Han Dynasty, he suffered a lot of hardships and went through many difficulties and dangers, but was detained by the Huns again. A year later, Lao Shanyu died and civil strife broke out in the Xiongnu. Zhang Qian successfully escaped and returned to the Han Dynasty, fulfilling his long-cherished wish of more than ten years.
