"Ah, Jiangling has developed so quickly. When I came here more than twenty years ago, this whole area was just farmland," Elder Xiao said, looking out at the bustling city from the backseat of a car.
Fei Zhenghai, the former mayor of Jiangling sitting opposite him, replied, "Indeed. The development in recent years has been incredibly fast, and the city itself has gradually expanded."
"Hmm. Seeing this constant flow of traffic, all this concrete and steel, I find myself missing the green leaves that once covered the mountains," Elder Xiao said with a sigh of nostalgia.
Fei Zhenghai smiled wryly. "My old leader, with society progressing so quickly these days, the only places left to find some flowers and greenery are out in the countryside or in private villas."
