My homesickness is always around my mind. Have you ever have the same feeling as me? Now, let me tell some stories about my hometown. My home province is Henan Province which is in the middle of China. It is a big province, and there are lots of places to visit. My home province is a historical province, and in ancient times it is one of the most important areas on military, such as Kaifeng, which was the capital of the Song dynasty. However, after such a long time, the beauty of its culture and history is also clear. I believe that the Chinese Kung fu is well known by most Canadian people. Does everyone know Jet Lee who is a famous movie star? He acted in the movie named Shaolin Temple in 1982, and it was a successful movie. The filming location was in my hometown. The Shaolin Temple is located in Dengfeng, Henan province, and it is the source of the martial art. Every year, it attracts many people to visit. Furthermore, there is a good place to see the peony, which is the valuable flower. In my home province, Luyang is a suitable place to grow the peony, and there is a peony show during May every year. In May, there are a great variety of peonies, such as white peonies, purple peonies and so on. I love the peony because it is a large flower and a bright color. In China people call peony: “national beauty and heavenly fragrance.” Finally, I think most people are more interested in food. In my home province, noodles are the most important dishes, and there are different kinds of noodles, such as stewed noodles, fried noodles and so on. I so miss about my hometown dishes.  These are general ideas to know about my hometown. For my standpoint, my hometown is a good place for living.
