听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

最近，中国的互联网上悄悄掀起了一股热潮，那就是逃离一线城市，回到家乡创业。一些创业成功的年轻人把他们的故事拍成视频放到网上，引发很多人的关注。这是怎么回事呢？

中国的一线城市，也就是北京、上海、广州和深圳的工作和生活的压力非常大，这是众所周知的事实。这几年，随着中国城市化过程接近尾声，大城市的年轻人也开始悄悄掀起了一小波回乡潮。他们不仅是厌倦了大城市的种种弊病，也向往着乡村生活的归园田居、诗和远方。很多大学生毕业后回到家乡进行农业生产，带领家乡的人们致富。但是也有年轻人回乡不仅仅是种植农作物，还开发了更多的有趣内容。

春天一家是疫情开始的时候从上海回到乡村的。疫情三年，他们几乎没有带过口罩，每天生活在蓝天白云、绿树河流的美景中。仅仅是这一点，就让所有人心生羡慕。三年来，他们改造羊圈建成房屋，院子种满鲜花，还在地里种菜，建乡村图书馆，到后来的设计研学项目，邀请城里的孩子来乡村体验生活。他们的视频不仅获得几十万人的观看，还被中国的中央电视台多次采访、录节目。看着他们用双手辛勤劳动，创造美好生活，在大城市打拼的同龄人纷纷留下羡慕的评语。

他们用自己的智慧，创造了充满希望的和可能性的生活。同时，获得了国家“乡村振兴“政策的扶持和广泛的赞誉。我相信，未来中国的农村是一片创业和生活的广阔天地，更多年轻有为的回乡人将把乡村建设得更美好。让我们拭目以待！

好了，希望你喜欢今天的内容，这里是茶时话中文，我是Penny，我们下次见。

Tengo notas escritas en papel de ideas, recuerdos, inspiraciones... apuntes por todos lados. En la puerta de la nevera, en el teléfono, entre los libros, en mi mesa de trabajo, en diarios personales y no tan personales, en mi carpeta de poemas... ¡¡¡Por todos lados!!! 

Notas sueltas, igual que las notas que farandulean por el aire cuando un director de orquesta sinfónica alza sus batutas y las notas de los instrumentos surcan el aire sin control.
