You can simply answer by address, "What does the house mean to you?", But this can not summarize the essence of the place. For some people, the house consists of four walls and a roof, perhaps a white fence. But if you can imagine the same house, empty all the people you love, all the voices, memories, characters; is it still your home? I feel "home" in various places. My toes are deeply embedded in the sand, only the sound of the waves and salty air is the only thing in my heart. There is a big red "K" hanging in the front house. I always hear a laugh. When walking through countless strawberry fields, even a big green barn could not cover us in the sun of the summer, it made me memorable memories. When I put a surfboard in my father's track, the sun is not resisting the cold weather. I like it every second.
