There are about 1.27 million residents are involved and supposed to relocate their home. On Aug 11, 499 villagers from Hubei province left their homes and make their way to a new town. Because their hometown, Niuhelin District of Danjiangkou will be submerged by water in 2014. But as Chinese old saying goes, “Falling leaves return to their roots”, Chinese traditional thingking makes people unwilling to leave their born hometown. My grandparents are examples, they miss their home all the time. How about you? Do you ever think of move away from your home?

Moving to a strange place brings no sense of belonging although they may live there longer than their hometown. As we see the movie"falling leaves return to their roots", they even to make an arduous journey home.

Nancy, you are right, I think it is not only for Chinese, but all nations in the world. We need a home where we can live a peaceful life.
