Audio Walk

Home 回家

This audio walk is in Chinese and Yunnan dialect. Translation as follows:

0:00 The sound of returning.

0:39 Let's go home. 0:48 Auntie will come pick you up.

1:00 Boy: Do you think the environment has changed a lot? Man: Yes, in the past...*indistinguishable*

1:10 Sounds will become more familiar. Listen to the sounds of the road home. That's the sound of Xuanwei's cars, and the goats walking beside them.

1:41 Where did the fields and dirt paths go?

1:52 Tomorrow we'll visit the stray dogs by Grandmother's house. 2:05 But you've been gone so long. Will they recognize you?

2:10 Boy: Would you like this place to stay the same size, or get bigger? Man: I don't think it can get any bigger, not in the mountains at least...

2:42 Time passes too quickly. 2:53 Your grandmother used to raise chickens and pigs. But she's too old now.

3:09 The countryside looks more and more like a city. 3:22 Sounds of your childhood have already left.

3:32 Why do people change so quickly? Why do people leave so quickly?

3:44 You want to go home, but it's already too late. You had always thought you were never meant to stay.

From Freesound.org: footsteps, ocean waves, baby crying, background music.

Video Accompaniment

These clips are taken from various summer trips, so the audio is not aligned. Feel free to mute it as you watch. Some clips have Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet as background music, others have cheesy iMovie music.
