我的家乡中国陕西省，就位于古丝绸之路的起点。站在这里，回顾历史，我仿佛听到了山间回荡的声声驼铃，看到了大漠飘飞的袅袅孤烟。这一切，让我感到十分的亲切。

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.
