Qin Xianglian has also been considering this issue these past few days. From her own perspective, she doesn't want to go to the city. She has a deep attachment to this land and water.
However, in the past few days, her sister Qin Xianghe has been whispering to her, painting pictures of how good the city is. She's not unaware of the advantages of the city; many of her peers have already left their hometowns to work in the city, and she's long heard from those returning home about the city's prosperity and vibrancy.
Unlike many young people, Qin Xianglian has a great love for the picturesque countryside, while she feels somewhat afraid and repelled by the bright lights and glamour of the city.
But upon careful consideration, her sister's words have a point. The city offers better medical conditions. If her elderly mother's illness could be cured, it would be a weight off her mind.
