When thinking of railroad, I am always in a warm feeling, especially when I am outside far away from my hometown.

I left my hometown to go to college when I was 17 years old. When receiving my acceptance for admission, I was very happy, and I thought my family had the same feeling as me. But things were not always as I thought. One night, my father packed my baggage, suddenly I found he wiped his eyes. He thought I would leave them. He worried about his youngest daughter. At that age, in some families, parents would send their child to the college because they could look after them on the way and arranged their life after getting to college. But I knew my parents could not send me to college because my family was not rich, the return train ticket could afford me several months maintenance. It took 24 hours to college by train. I even could not buy a ticket for a sleeper, it was almost twice price than that of seat. Parents cared it, but I didn`t care. Because I knew they needed to save money for my study, it was not so easy for them to afford me to college. I appreciated them. Times flies, after I graduated from university, I did not select to stay at hometown, I went to another city for work, it needs to spend 8 hours from my hometown to my working city by train. Later, I changed my work, it is in the south of China, it is further than the first work place from my hometown. It takes 36 hours for me to go home by train. Of course, sometimes I go home by air, but I still enjoy the trip by train, I can recall many things related with my parents, it is full of love, I can enjoy more happy time in this long trip on the railroad.

I love my parents, in my mind they accompany me on my trip; I enjoy walking on the railroad, it recalls me many sweet memories, which related with my dear parents…
