A
Having grown up in Arizona with the Grand Canyon and the red plateaus (高原) of Sedona in my backyard, I spent many younger days fishing and exploring the mysterious land. I believed this southwestern state is home to the most beautiful landscape on earth. No foreign scenery could compare with its endless blue sky and great mountains.
I thought so until I was invited to visit a southwestern province in China. On my trip to Guizhou, I had the chance to go boating on Wanfeng Lake. At one point I rested, floating at the centre of the lake, listening to the spaces between silence and looking at the mountains around me. I thought about my childhood, and wished I had listened more closely to my father's fishing stories.
During my trip around the city of Xingyi, in Guizhou, I saw the artworks of the Bouyei ethnic group (布依族). They use colours produced from plants to make clothes of bright blues and greens. Local elders still practise weaving (编织) with wooden machines and pass that tradition on to their grandchildren. The history here is easily noticed. One could reach out, touch it, and breathe it. It reminded me of my home. My mother loved to make our home more beautiful with paintings and some handmade artworks. The designs were ancient, and carried wisdom within them. This earth is our home, and we celebrate its wonders. I caught that same feeling while enjoying the artworks in Xingyi.
I've lived away from Arizona for 10 years, living a new life in China. I've successfully built myself a family and a career. I feel as though I have everything that I need. For a moment, in Guizhou, I felt at home.

#### A
我在亚利桑那州长大，大峡谷和塞多纳的红色高原就在我的后院附近，我小时候经常去钓鱼，探索这片神秘的土地。我认为这个西南部的州拥有地球上最美丽的风景。没有任何异国的景色能与它那无尽的蓝天和雄伟的山脉相媲美。
我一直这么认为，直到我受邀访问中国的一个西南部省份。在我的贵州之行中，我有机会在万峰湖上乘船游览。有那么一刻，我停下来休息，漂浮在湖中央，聆听寂静之间的声音，看着我周围的群山。我想起了我的童年，真希望我当时能更认真地听父亲讲的钓鱼故事。
在贵州兴义市的旅行中，我看到了布依族的艺术品。他们用植物制成的颜料来制作亮蓝色和翠绿色的衣服。当地的长辈们仍然用木制机器织布，并把这一传统传给他们的孙辈。这里的历史很容易被察觉。人们可以伸手触摸它，感受它。这让我想起了我的家乡。我的母亲喜欢用绘画和一些手工艺品来让我们的家变得更漂亮。那些图案很古老，蕴含着智慧。地球是我们的家，我们为它的奇迹而赞叹。在兴义欣赏这些艺术品时，我也有同样的感受。
我已经离开亚利桑那州10年了，在中国开始了新的生活。我成功地建立了自己的家庭，也有了自己的事业。我觉得我拥有了我需要的一切。在贵州的那一刻，我有一种宾至如归的感觉。
