What’s the definition of a house? It is a building which can be made of different materials. No matter what is it made of, it is a place to live in. what about a home? It is equal to a house? Definitely not! A home is a place full of magic which can both be visible and invisible. It is a comfort harbor for a wearing soul, a place where we regain our hopes and courage. Every year during the Spring Festival Travel, China will show the world a spectacular picture of the thousands upon thousands of migrant workers travelling home in the chilly cold weather and they have a common destination, a place called home. Some even traveled dozens of hours with their motor bikes. The journey may be tough and dangerous but every time they feel upset and wearing, home is a bonfire that lights up their hearts again and give them warmth. It is their beloved family members that make up a home where their hearts will pursue to arrive though it is thousand miles away.
In one of Long Yingtai’s (龙应台) prose called Returning Home《回家》she tells us the story of her mother’s returning home. Her mother suffered from Dementia(失智症). Her memories faded gradually and when she was taken back home, to the house they used to live, she didn’t recognize it and kept on saying she wanted to go home. And in the prose the author said that she finally understood what the real home was in her mother’s mind. She said mother’s home was a place that without post code and no postman could find. Her home was not a space but a period of life time in which little children were chasing laughing and playing merrily, sizzling sound with the aroma of frying fish coming out from the kitchen, and her husband covered her eyes and wanted her guessed who it was” I love this passage because it conveys the meaning of a real home so well. A real home is a place that combines your love ones together and the love bond makes it thrives.
How do you love you home? Never complain your house is too small but try to appreciate the cozy atmosphere created by your families. A house that fills up with laughter and happiness is called home while a luxurious big house is just shining with cold light. Which one do you prefer? Every home is unique. It has its own look, feel and smell. Have you ever felt it?
About two months later the Chinese traditonal new year will see another reunion time for the families. It is true that it is a tradition but let us never forget that we go home because our families are there not because it is a traditional festival. Time changes things without being notice and don’t leave yourself any regret. We should go back home as much as possible. Because our love ones are there!
