【Historical Live Broadcast】Watching videos and being seen by our ancestors

[Dream Core Museum unique to Zigui people]

[Netizens share the breathtaking underwater museum they saw in Yichang]

【Three Gorges Immigration Museum】

[The scene looks unreal, but it is full of real buildings]

[When I saw it for the first time, it felt like I had come to the underwater world of Grave Robbers’ Chronicles]

【But in fact, this is the home of Zigui people】

[People who used to live here were amazed after watching the video]

[This scene is so familiar. There is a tofu workshop on the right hand side. A few steps further there is a tailor shop. Then walk inside and you will see his grandparents’ home. It is the Zifang Creek in Changba.]

[My childhood memories, I don’t know if there is any deviation, I went back there several times in my dreams, but my grandparents were not at home every time]

[In order to cooperate with flood control, the people of Zigui reluctantly bid farewell to their hometown where they had lived for many years and immigrated away from their homeland]

[In the documentary about the Three Gorges immigrants, there is a middle-aged man who went to the back mountain to bid farewell to his father, and an old man over 50 years old carrying a small sapling dug out in front of his door, saying that he always wanted to take something from his hometown with him.]

【Our country is great because of these great people. 】

"When I watched the documentary about the Three Gorges immigrants, I was still young and didn't understand why he was crying. Now I understand [tears]"

"The Three Gorges immigrants were really everywhere in the country. At that time, a group of them came from Shandong, but most of them went back. It's hard to leave your hometown [cry]"

"I heard from someone that his neighbor lived next door to his brother in his hometown, and they often quarreled and fought to the death. It seemed that one family of immigrants went to the west, and the other went to Anhui. They cried so hard when they parted, and they might never see each other again in their lives."

“Zigui has transformed itself magnificently. You are welcome to come home often [heart][heart] and you are also welcome to come to Zigui to pay respect to Qu Yuan and eat oranges [heart][heart]”

"I am also a participant in this project that will benefit future generations. Located in Mawei, Fuzhou, Fujian, when the Three Gorges immigrants came here, the town government and representative students from our school welcomed the Three Gorges immigrants who left their hometowns."

"Rather than being a great people, they are a group of kind people. Who would want to be forced to leave their hometown after they are over fifty? But this is what the motherland needs... so they migrated reluctantly with tears in their eyes."

"There is a novel called "The Road Back Is the Road Back", in which the hero and heroine are immigrants from the Three Gorges. It seems that they have been missing their hometown all their lives. The heroine said that the new Wu City is not her home, her home is more than 200 meters underwater [tears]"

"Zigui, you came back, but it's a pity that you never came back"

"Who would leave their hometown unless they have no choice?"

In ancient times, people who were forced to leave their homeland due to natural disasters and man-made calamities could not hold back their tears when they saw the Three Gorges immigrants on the sky: There was a flood in my hometown this year, and I wonder if my ancestral graves were flooded!

Next year I will go to the mountains to sweep the graves on Qingming Festival, but I won’t be able to find my ancestors because I have moved to a different place. The incense has stopped, and my relatives have also moved to other places in a panic and cannot come back to reunite with me. It makes me sad just thinking about it!

Some younger children are simple-minded and do not understand the pain of separation. They just see their parents sad and cannot help but wipe away their tears with them.

It was not until I grew up and left home and experienced the separation from my parents that I slowly realized the sorrow of separation from my loved ones, which had unknowingly filled my heart: the older I get, the more I understand that my hometown is my root.
