20年后的肇庆和母校

20年后，我已经29岁了，在加拿大当一名设计师。前几天，接到小学同学小晴的电话说：“星期一，在母校举行同学聚会。”我一听，兴奋得不得了，终于可以与17年没见面的老师、同学们见面了。

Twenty years later, I was 29 years old and worked as a designer in Canada. A few days ago, I received a phone call from Xiao Qing, a classmate of primary school, saying, "on Monday, we will have a classmate party at our alma mater." When I heard it, I was so excited that I could finally meet the teachers and students who haven't met in 17 years.

我连忙在网上预订机票，突然，我发现有直飞肇庆的机票，我惊讶得不得了。立刻预订了一张机票。接着，我就开始收拾行李。晚上，我躺在床上想：过几天，我就要回肇庆——我的故乡，跟老师、同学们见面了，他们会有什么变化呢？想着、想着……就睡着了。

I hurriedly booked a ticket on the Internet. Suddenly, I found that there was a direct flight to Zhaoqing. I was very surprised. A ticket was booked at once. Then I began to pack. In the evening, I lie in bed and think: in a few days, I will go back to Zhaoqing, my hometown. I have met with my teachers and classmates. What will happen to them? Thinking, thinking I fell asleep.

星期一，我提着行李踏上了归程。我一下飞机，被眼前的一幕惊呆了，焕然一新的机场，上面矗立着“肇庆星湖国际机场”几个引人注目的大字。然后，我走进了机场到达大厅取行李。你猜！那里是怎样取行李的？告诉你吧，在大厅行李区里有1000多台“行李自取机”。你只要选择你是从哪里来，再输入你飞机航班号和座次，OK！你的行李就会自动从出口里蹦出来。你看，肇庆的变化多大！

On Monday, I set out on my way home with my luggage. When I got off the plane, I was stunned by the scene in front of me. The airport was a new one. On it stood the words "Zhaoqing Xinghu International Airport". Then I went into the airport arrival hall to collect my luggage. Have a guess! How do I get my luggage there? Let me tell you, there are more than 1000 "baggage claim machines" in the luggage area of the lobby. You just have to choose where you are from and input your flight number and seat number, OK! Your luggage will pop out of the exit automatically. You see, what a great change Zhaoqing has made!

我坐上出租车依依不舍地离开了星湖机场，来到了我的母校——十六小学。哇！母校的变化可真大！绿树成荫，鸟语花香，学生们在碧绿的草地上玩耍。你看，学生们的教室可漂亮了！教室的墙壁画满了花草树木，像一个小公园，让学生们在轻松的气氛中快乐地学习。学生们上课根本不用书本，而是用“智能学习器”，可方便了！上学不用背书包，晚上就用“智能学习器”来预习。

I took a taxi and left Xinghu airport reluctantly, and came to my alma mater, No. 16 primary school. WOW! What a change your alma mater has made! The students are playing on the green grass. Look, the students' classroom is beautiful! The walls of the classroom are painted with flowers, plants and trees, like a small park, so that students can study happily in a relaxed atmosphere. Students do not use books at all in class, but use "intelligent learning device", which is convenient! Go to school without endorsements, at night with the "intelligent learning device" to preview.

我匆匆忙忙地来到了聚会地点——校友联谊中心，我见到我的老师和同学们了，我发现他们的变化可真大。陈老师已经老了，头上已有几根银发。我快步走上前去跟她打招呼，我把我的经历告诉她，她高兴得合不拢嘴，夸我是个好孩子！还有最让我难以相信的是，以前顽皮可爱的小邝也当上了警察；经常惹老师生气的小洛也当上了小发明家；上课老是说话的小崔也当上了大老板！这真是可喜可贺！我要去找我的好姊妹——小钰婷，咦，她已经变成了苗条小女孩。我们俩已经17年没见面了，得好好谈谈，谈着谈着，小晴来了，我们三姊妹终于可以在一起说说话了。时间过得真快，我该走了，我恋恋不舍地踏上了回家的路程。

I hurried to the gathering place - Alumni Association Center. I saw my teachers and classmates. I found that their changes were really great. Mr. Chen is old. He has some silver hair on his head. I quickly stepped forward to say hello to her. I told her my experience. She was too happy to close her mouth and praised me as a good child! And what I can't believe is that the naughty and lovely little Kuang used to be a policeman, the little Luo who often made the teacher angry became a little inventor, and the little Cui who always talked in class became a big boss! It's really gratifying! I'm going to find my good sister, xiaoyuting. Eh, she has become a slim little girl. We haven't seen each other for 17 years. We need to talk about it. Xiao Qing is here. Our three sisters can finally talk together. Time flies, I have to go, I am reluctant to step on the way home.

美丽的肇庆，绚丽多彩的母校，17年没见面的老师、同学们！我永远忘不了你们！

Beautiful Zhaoqing, colorful alma mater, teachers and students who haven't met in 17 years! I will never forget you!
