[2025 南通市海安市期末]“Do you know Macao(澳门) was never my real name. I have been away for too long, mother ...”
“Song of the Seven Sons—Macao”, written by Wen Yiduo in 1925, is still in the hearts of Macao's children today. December 20, 2024 was the 25th anniversary(周年) of Macao's return to the motherland. Thanks to “one country, two systems”, Macao has a much closer relationship with her motherland.
Zhang Dan is studying at a college in Macao. She said, “Travelling to the Chinese mainland, especially Zhuhai, has become easier, just like a part of the everyday life for some people.” Luo Xin, a student at Shenzhen University, said, “A lot of people in Macao often go to Zhuhai to buy fresh and cheap vegetables and young people enjoy playing mishitaotuo there.”
More people in Macao are willing to travel to the mainland, and the cities like Chongqing, Changsha and Hangzhou are popular places for young people. Guangdong is also a good choice for many people because the language and food are similar.
“Young people in Macao are highly interested in what's happening on the mainland,” said Luo Xin. “Like the young people on the mainland, they have learned many mainland internet buzzwords(流行语). I know about the most popular ones such as ‘juejuezi’ and
they make us understand more about people and life on the mainland.”
More than half of the people in Macao use shopping apps from the mainland. Luo Xin said that it's because they can find almost everything they need at good prices on the apps. It usually takes about three to seven days for local people to get the product.
“The connection(联系) between Macao and the motherland is getting stronger and stronger,” said Zhang Dan.
