TRANSCRIPT FROM GRANDPA:
现在有句话叫着 “欲问你家在何处，山西洪洞大槐树，大槐树上是哪家，大槐树上老鹳窝”
这句话有点儿来头，什么意思呢？
人们走的时候，街坊邻居、亲戚朋友说，这一走啊，咱们还不知道啥时能见面呢.
非常的伤心啊
人们走一走往回看一看，看 看啥呢？走远了，也看不见了，看见的呢就是那棵大槐树。
人们就要记住, 这就是我们的老祖宗啊.
我们不管走千里，走万里, 一定要记住：这儿 有棵大槐树.
这就是中国人的传统文化 “叶落归根, 不管走到哪里，都要知道自己从哪里来…”
TRANSLATION:
There’s a saying right now that goes like this:
“If you ever wonder where is home, look for the Shaan Xi Hong Tong great locust tree, which family is from the great locust tree? The family of Lao Guan Wu”.
The origin of this saying came many years ago, when people were forced to leave their homes in Shaan Xi.
Neighbours, friends, and relatives would gather to say their goodbyes and wonder if they would ever meet again. It was a deeply painful and heartbreaking exchange.
As families left, they’d continue to stop and look back, again and again, until they could no longer see the great locust tree.
This story is where the saying came from, as the people of Shaan Xi say we can never forget the great locust tree that represents the home of our ancestors. Whether you walk a thousand miles or ten thousand miles, no matter how far you go, you should remember where you come from.
This is the tradition of the Chinese people of Shaan Xi: “the leaves fall, but they will always return Back To Their Roots”.
