Like a lot of young people, I was eager to get out of the rural community where I was raised and move to the city.

On a washing machine was posted the sign “For Horse Blankets Only.”

我和许多年轻人一样，很想离开生我养我的农村，搬到城里去。而我的男朋友却不想走。他说：“这里正在迅速发展。它不再是一个农业小镇了。”我都差不多要被他说服了。直到一天下午我到附近的一家自助洗衣店，看到一台洗衣机上贴着“洗马毯专用。”
