Rural Chongqing: A Spring Festival Journey

In this episode, with my dad and my grandma, we went to our hometowns of Longju (龙驹镇) and Lishu (梨树乡) in Chongqing. During the spring festival season, we explored the town, enjoyed the village life and revisited the old home which my grandparents built in the 1970s. We went to the morning market in Longju town during the Spring Festival. We bought sweet potato noodles and other New Year's goods to prepare for New Year's Eve dinner. We also witnessed rural weddings and experienced the unique atmosphere of the festival. Our journey continued to Lishu, along a long and winding road. We saw the making of preserved ham, learned why we don't drink pig milk, and pulled out carrots. We revisited my grandparents' old dirt house, which evoked a strong sense of nostalgia.
