The Most Peaceful Place I’ve Ever Been
Are you an urban inhabitant who is fed up with the characteristic noises and dirty of the city? Do you yearn for hiding in a quiet and tranquil place inside?
I was once awed by the peaceful scene of a small anonymous village in northern Fujian where lived an old friend of my grandmother’s.
The beauty and peace of the village were unequaled. It was a beautiful morning; green mountains extended high above the clouds. Wild flowers speckled the base of the mountains, waving their faces in the gentle breeze. A clear stream ran through a meadow. Grasses there were with dew, and so were flowers and bushes, and spider webs. The drops of dew sparkle like jewels when the sun shines on them.
The tiny village had an irregular road lined by small houses on either side. No sound could be heard when we stepped down the stone-paved narrow road towards the heart of the village, and there were faces at every window, men in short sleeves standing outside their houses ;old women and kids peering from door-ways , and women sat at yard weaving sweaters for their children or men.
The peace and quietness are like a dream which you just cannot purchase in a city. You have to bear a thousand car horns barking constantly in the city night, but all you can hear here is the soothing wind from the forest.
The tranquility and beauty of the cozy place made you feel comfortable and relaxed. It was a true paradise for city dwellers to get rid of the noisy and hustle urban life for a

    This didn’t arouse any resentment, none at all, for the villagers were not ones to ponder the unknown. Stuck in their own world, the grew up with beauty around them. From the lush green fields splattered with posies and lilacs, to the pure white tips of the mountains keeping them hostage. They only knew beauty and found themselves repulsed by anything,…

    The thick tree lines and vast open fields bring a sense of freedom and grandeur. The brilliant light shining like beacon of hope with the soft calming breeze flowing across the field is refreshing and pure like a baby after a warm bath. The air seems to be free and clear of the city’s poisonous air pollution and the soft sounds of birds makes it all too refreshing, like a beautiful day on the beach. With quiet clean monuments and buildings dancing across the landscape, the look of peace and quiet seems to be present at last. As the blue crisp skies begin to darken across the brilliant blue pond, the shimmering light hitting the trees is as beautiful as the sun setting on the Catalina Island on a bright blue day with soft clouds flowing across the sky. I have the taste of fresh fruit on my tongue in my mouth as I take a long deep breath, and realize how much the soft green grass adds to the peacefulness in the park. I can hear the cheerful wildlife scampering beyond the tree line, like young children frolicking in their mother’s front yard. As the quiet darkness sets in, and with the city brilliant lights in the background, the serene park makes the bustling city seem peaceful once…

    The village is a small group of people who have isolated themselves from society out of fear; fear of the evil of this world. Only the elders of the village know the truth, everyone else is captured by the fear that the surrounding woods are filled with violent creatures. While the actual world is set in the twenty-first century, the people in the village live as if it were the 1800s. They do not use money, because money is the root of evil. Each of the elders had a loved one who had been killed because of money and…

    It is the one place where I know I can relax. It has that small cottage feel to it. There are not only huge oak trees and rose bushes surrounding it, but she also has a small garden waterfall, which complements it nicely. The moment I walked inside the house, a feeling of calmness came over me. The worries of going to work and paying bills that would not ever be paid off vanished from my mind. This place is my absolute haven away from the rat race of the inner city and when I tire of crowds of people around me. This is one place where southerners with true southern hospitality…

He also realized there is no European innocence, and the ideas which American beliefs are based on, originated from Europe.

    Village life is a life that is full of fun and activities. From the morning till the evening we all are working in one way or the other. As soon as we get up we would have a family prayer. This is mostly started by dad. Everyone will come for the prayer when they hear the first song sung by Dad. It would be around 5.30 am. Then we would study for some time. After the studies, the next thing is to brush the teeth. While doing the brushing, we roam around the surroundings. Then we get ready for the morning tea. Two of us (we are three brothers) would be assigned to milk the goat. We use goat milk in our home. Then we go to the river for taking bath. While taking bath, we do swimming.…
