故乡 (gù xiāng): hometown

After leaving his hometown for ten years, he finally returned to that small village and found the old locust tree still at the entrance.

Every Spring Festival, no matter how busy she is, she returns to her hometown to celebrate the New Year with her parents.

In the songs he writes, he often mentions the rice fields of his hometown and the cicadas in summer; listening makes people homesick.

Although his hometown has changed a lot, he can still recognize the stone-paved road he walked to school as a child.

After working hard away from home for many years, he always says the water in his hometown is the sweetest and the people there are the dearest.
