When I think about a place near water, the first sight that come to my mind is the great yellow river. I can visualized the magnificence and natural beauty of it without really go there because I was born in a small town that suited along the side of the yellow river. Throughout my childhood, I can smell and listen to the yellow river. This literally becamea huge part of my childhood memory. I can still recall the memory. When I was very little, four or five years old maybe, my parents would take me to the river bank on weekends for a picnic. They would bring a piece of cloth, some bread, some orange juice and other picnic food that I liked. If it was springwhen the city enjoys a windy weather, they would also take a kite. I cannot remember all the detail snow, but I clearly remember how much fun I had playing with the soft sand on the river bank, laughing with my parents and lying drowsily(lazily慵懒的) in the sunshine. The yellow river is forever and I feel small in front of it. When I was young, I used to simply just sit by the running river,watching it flooding and rolling. Staring at the yellow river gradually became my hobbit. I always think about my future life while facing it. No matter how time goes and how far I will be from it, it still means a lot to me. Now I worked in a big city that is thousands mile away from the yellow river, but every time I think of it, I can still feel the rhythm and power of it which reminds of where I belong to.
