As more people from rural areas migrate to cities to enjoy a better education and living environment, some parents come to realize that a childhood spent in the concrete jungle is not one they want their children to have.

So, many are sending their children born in cities to the countryside to enjoy the rustic and natural life. It gives their kids, they believe, an insight into what their own childhood was like, and sows a seed of love in their offspring's heart for hometown.

Every summer vacation since her birth, Duoduo's mother has taken her to her hometown in Linwu, Hunan province, which is five hours' journey from Guangzhou. It seems the little girl cannot wait to enjoy another summer holiday spent in the countryside. [Photo/qq.com]
