化交流 Pace Melody from France has lived in China for 13 years. As the daughter-in-law of a family from Hunan, Melody often visits her husband’s hometown in Yiyang, Hunan. It was there that she fell in love with the Chinese countryside for its friendly villagers, local food, and beautiful scenery.
With sweet air and fresh vegetables, the village life in Hunan brought Melody a deep sense of comfort and happiness. She is thankful to be welcomed by her Hunan family members, who are very close to her. “My mother-in-law often tells me that I am like her daughter,” she said.
This love and acceptance touched her, as it was quite different from the customs in France. In her home country, it was more often to call one’s mother-in-law by her name, but in Hunan, she was encouraged (鼓励) to call her mother-in-law “mum”.
Working in the fields with her mother-in-law became one of Melody’s favourite activities. Her mother-in-law took her to dig wild vegetables and taught her how to make tofu. Melody also learned Chinese square dancing with her mother-in-law and they celebrated the Spring Festival together.
Melody is amazed by how quickly the villages in China are developing. Before, there were no highways near their village, but now there are good roads and buses that come often. The southern part of Dongping Town has changed a lot. It used to be a remote (偏远的) and mountainous area, but now it’s a busy place with lots of people. Life in Hunan has given Melody rich experiences. “I have many surprises and learn a lot every day. I am very happy and thankful,” she said.
