Last winter vacation，my parents and I went back to our hometown，where I spend my childhood. Walking slow in the quiet small town reminded me of the good old day. I went from street to street，in the search of my childhood footprints. Suddenly，I found me at the gate of the primary school on which I studied for six years. As I entered，I was surprised find that the old classroom building was gone. But it was filling with my childhood memories! I felt such sad that tears ran down my cheeks. It was just like the feeling I had while a good friend left me forever.
