回乡记 (2)

This is my ancestral villages. Our family moved to this valley over 600 years ago. All the families in this valley are either direct decendants of my ancesters or related one way or another, such as being adopted or through marriages.

Our family has very strong traditions. For example, almost every one in the valley can tell you certain important events in our fammily, starting from the time when my ancesters ruled China several thousand years ago.
