我的家鄉中國陜西省，就位于古絲綢之路的起點。站在這里，回顧歷史，我仿佛聽到了山間回蕩的聲聲駝鈴，看到了大漠飄飛的裊裊孤煙。這一切，讓我感到十分的親切。

My home town is in Shaanxi, which is the starting point of the ancient Silk Road. Standing on this land and reviewing history, I seem to hear camel bells echoing in valleys, and see smoke curling upward above the great desert. All these are fairly familiar to me.
