My Hometown in the Vietnam

The Vietnamese proverb dat lanh chim dau, which means wherever there is good soil, there are flocks of birds coming to settle down, shows that mountain tend to move to a place in which they can come through and make money in a fairly easy way. Ho chi Minh City is one of the biggest cities in the south of Vietnam, which provides people with a great number of various jobs therefore, people from many different parts of the country reinforcement on moving to this city, hoping to find out their promised land. For those who have been living in this city for a long time, more than 10 years for example, their used-to-be paradise is getting worse and worse.Sharing these native citizens viewpoint, I strongly disagree with the flattering statement that Ho ki Minh city is a much offend place to live today than 10 years ago. Pollution is the first thing that makes Ho chi Minh City a worse place to live in. the layout of Ho Chi Minh City was established alone for its five hundred thousand residents more than 100 years ago. Its drainage system has been overbooked to drain for a city of over seven million people nowadays. Consequently, the so-called the pearl of the Far East is getting more and more polluted.Water pollution is only part of the pollution facing all the dwellers of this biggest city in Vietnam. The air pollution here is no less serious. Thousands of factories are still located inside this city and keep on releasing poisonous smoke. Various means of transportation, especially millions of motorcycles, do contribute to the ever- change magnitude air pollution in Ho Chi Minh city. The second thing that makes Ho Chi Minh City a worse place to live in is its high cost of living. Nowhere else in Vietnam do you have to pay such great sums of money just to lead a rather simple and really humble life.Food, public utility, means of transportation, cultivation fees accommodation and a variety of private services such as tailoring, hairdressing, renovating, etc. her e are all much higher than the so-called measuring rod legal income of the majority of the city dwellers. Consequently, they have to struggle hard to make their two ends meet. They do not usually have time to enjoy themselves. In other words, a great number of these city-dwellers just earn enough money to be physical beings, not emotional or spiritual beings. Its increasing crime and disorder also makes Ho Chi Minh City a worse place to live in today than ten years ago.A number of the city dwellers, especially young illiterate guys of lower social classes, cannot earn their living legally. They allow themselves to rob or steal anything they can to come across their needs, irrespective of how serious the consequences of their frightening acts are. It is impossible for anyone who dares to live in Ho Chi Minh City to get rid of the lack of safety and order resulting from the above-named kind of crime. In other words, the city dwellers have to face their fate/destiny every minute in their life.To tell the truth, I was born and grew up in Ho Chi Minh City and I am old enough to witness the tremendous, multifaceted changes and social reforms here. However, I can hardly advance that I love my hometown very much because I am afraid that it does not deserve my love. Up to now, I have been trying my best to induce hard and lead a simple but respectable life here. I do not dare to break any official rectitude or well-established social rule. And I often jeer sarcastically at myself, saying how foolish I am in such a crazy, hole-and-corner(a) environment. Probably, you do not approve of my pessimistic perspectives but that is me
