Dad is looking through the old photos in his hand. The living room is bright and clean, there are vases and dried fruit plates on the coffee table, and a cup of green tea is steaming. )

The daughter hummed into the living room and noticed her father's behavior. )

Daughter: Dad, what are you looking at? (takes the photo from dad and looks at it carefully)

Dad: This is a photo I took on the roadside when I was in junior high school!

Daughter: (looking at the photo): Oh, my God! Dad, why is your junior high school road so bad? It's still that gray old cement road!

Dad: (smiling): What is this? When my father was young, the roads in the village were rugged dirt roads with deep and shallow steps. At that time, going to school on rainy days made me feel the most uncomfortable. The road is wet and slippery, and my pants and a pair of semi-old liberation shoes are covered with yellow mud …

? (showing pictures of poor rural areas and rural children going to school in the mud)

Dad: When I was admitted to junior high school in a small county, I jumped up at the first sight of the cement road, because there was no need to bring mud in rainy days! So much so that I took a photo on the roadside with the meal ticket money your grandmother gave me. (Laughter)

Daughter: What about after that?

Dad: (thoughtfully for a moment): 1992 I was admitted to the university, and I took the green leather train for the first time ...

Show pictures or videos of green leather trains. The daughter listened with her chin propped up, looking very absorbed. )

Dad: I stayed in the car all night, looking at the dark night scene outside the window, thinking that I would settle down and take root in that big city, and I couldn't help dancing ... (smiling and dreaming, immersed in memories)

Daughter: But you didn't ... (puzzled)

Dad: Don't worry, son! (Think for a moment) During my college years, I often watched with envy the cars coming and going under the overpass at the school gate. There is always a voice that says to me: You will be on this road in the future, and you will be a well-off household with ten thousand yuan ... Fortunately, when I graduated, the country really realized the importance of starting my own business, so I went to the sea with my classmates and finally arrived in our present city ...

Daughter: Alas, Dad, it's not easy for you! I hope you were here when you were a child. Now there are four-story overpasses, bullet trains and high-speed trains …

Dad: Yes, yes! (stroking her daughter's head) Dad really envies you now. This country is getting better and more beautiful every day. It is thanks to the development of society that we can take such a good road to go out!

Daughter: Dad, if you say so, when we reach your age, I wonder how beautiful the roads in China will be!

Narrator: Yes, our life is getting richer and happier every day. Isn't the road my father took the same way that the Chinese nation took? For more than half a century, we have moved from chaos to prosperity and from food and clothing to a well-off society. The legendary story is the best version of Damei China. I have no regrets when I entered China in this life, and I will still be a gardener in the afterlife.
