I came to live in this place by accident. At that time, the war continued, and many people took refuge in this small mountain village. However, Grandpa Chang's grandparents didn't want to leave the place where their ancestors lived, so they didn't leave. However, facing the threat of war, they also need a place to go. So in the end, these people came to the top of the mountain, where there are cliffs on three sides. As long as the only road is blocked, they will not be threatened by the outside world, so everyone moved to this place.
They settled down here and began to pioneer. Life is always hard, but they work hard and die young. Uncle Chang took their hoes from their ancestors and continued their career. On the top of this mountain, the land is very barren and not suitable for planting crops, but Grandpa Chang sticks to it because it is a family inheritance. Uncle Chang has nothing else to do in his life, but to stay here and open up wasteland. Even though his sons had grown up and got married, they began to expand the number of people who reclaimed land.
But the harvest of these lands can't meet the needs of families, so some children and grandchildren leave here intermittently to go to a better world below. But uncle Chang still doesn't want to move away, and the eldest son's family stays here with his father. A family of three lived a hermit life that countless people in ancient times wanted.
Uncle Chang not only cultivates the land, but also keeps many hens. Hens can lay eggs, and the whole family can eat eggs. These eggs can also be sold down the mountain, which is another source of living expenses. In addition, another "project" of Uncle Chang is extremely huge, that is, a pond dug behind the house. This is a story similar to "Yu Gong Yi Shan". When the family dug the pond, there were no modern tools for them to use, so they had to dig it themselves. After digging, they transported cement from the foot of the mountain and finally successfully built the pond. As long as there is a heavy rain and the pond is full of water, it will be enough for their family to use for a year, which can be said to greatly facilitate life. There are other aquatic plants and some small fish in the pond, which is very clear.
Uncle Chang is over 90 years old. Such a long life has much to do with his living environment. Although Uncle Chang never went out to see the world and was trapped in this small world, it was his will. What he can get here is the sublimation of his soul, which is incomparable to many people who have traveled many places.

This life close to nature is very rare in modern society. Even if each of us has no chance to live this life, we should remember to leave such a "field" for our hearts, and keep it pure, so that life will be better.
