听众朋友你们好，欢迎来到茶时话中文，我是Penny。这是一个纯中文话题节目，我来和你用中文聊聊生活中有意思的话题，同时学习一些汉语词汇。让我们一边喝茶一边聊起来吧。

最近，中国的互联网上悄悄掀起了一股热潮，那就是逃离一线城市，回到家乡创业。一些创业成功的年轻人把他们的故事拍成视频放到网上，引发很多人的关注。这是怎么回事呢？

中国的一线城市，也就是北京、上海、广州和深圳的工作和生活的压力非常大，这是众所周知的事实。这几年，随着中国城市化过程接近尾声，大城市的年轻人也开始悄悄掀起了一小波回乡潮。他们不仅是厌倦了大城市的种种弊病，也向往着乡村生活的归园田居、诗和远方。很多大学生毕业后回到家乡进行农业生产，带领家乡的人们致富。但是也有年轻人回乡不仅仅是种植农作物，还开发了更多的有趣内容。

春天一家是疫情开始的时候从上海回到乡村的。疫情三年，他们几乎没有带过口罩，每天生活在蓝天白云、绿树河流的美景中。仅仅是这一点，就让所有人心生羡慕。三年来，他们改造羊圈建成房屋，院子种满鲜花，还在地里种菜，建乡村图书馆，到后来的设计研学项目，邀请城里的孩子来乡村体验生活。他们的视频不仅获得几十万人的观看，还被中国的中央电视台多次采访、录节目。看着他们用双手辛勤劳动，创造美好生活，在大城市打拼的同龄人纷纷留下羡慕的评语。

他们用自己的智慧，创造了充满希望的和可能性的生活。同时，获得了国家“乡村振兴“政策的扶持和广泛的赞誉。我相信，未来中国的农村是一片创业和生活的广阔天地，更多年轻有为的回乡人将把乡村建设得更美好。让我们拭目以待！

好了，希望你喜欢今天的内容，这里是茶时话中文，我是Penny，我们下次见。
