In my childhd, whenever I was being unreasnable, r questining whatever directin my mther was giving, she wuld say “I’m the mmma and yu’re the baby.” End f discussin. Until ne day she asked me t d smething fr her and I said, “N. Yu’re the mmma; I’m the baby.” It gave her a gd laugh.
But, at 31, I’m realizing the dynamic might be shifting. She’s the mmma; I’m the baby. But I’m als smething else nw. Mre will be asked f me t take care f her. My mther is getting lder.
The realizatin hit me during a recent visit hme. In my memry, ur huse wasn’t sptless, but I’d call it tidy. Weekends were fr cleaning. Yet during this visit I was taken aback by piles upn piles f mail and papers and junk. A fridge full f spiled fd. A muntain f clthes begging t be lcated. Was it always this way? When did she becme a harder (囤积者)? A symptm f aging?
But my mther wuld like yu t knw smething: She is nt a harder. She spke frankly with mre self-awareness than I expected abut life and time and happiness. “The time that I have t g thrugh thse things wuld be my weekends. D I want t spend my Saturday afternn ging thrugh all the junk? Or d I want t g hang ut with my friends? I think the latter. I dn’t want t spend ne minute f my free time ding anything that desn’t bring me jy,” she says.
It’s nt that my mther has n wrries abut aging, but she came t terms with it lng befre. “Trey, yu culd spend s much time wrrying abut things that aren’t perfect. Then time slips by, and they’re never ging t be,” she cntinues. “I think happiness is a mment-t-mment, day-t-day kind f thing. It’s nt smething yu sustain. I still think I’m ht- that might be in my head, but s what.”

Nwadays, many Chinese turists are s trubled by hliday crwds that seeking ut unheralded (冷门的) destinatins has becme a trend knwn as “reverse travel”. Aside frm prviding peple with better travel experiences with fewer crwds, reverse travel als meets their need fr nvelty and uniqueness.
A key driver f travelers heading t lesser-knwn cities is cst. While the Labr Day hliday saw recrd numbers f dmestic travelers, average spending per persn remained belw pre-pandemic levels accrding t a reprt. Htels in lesser-knwn cities can be five times cheaper than in Beijing r Shanghai.
The reverse travel trend has seen surging bkings in smaller cities, driven mstly by yung peple escaping the crwds n Shanghai’s Nanjing Rad r in Beijing’s Frbidden City. Wang Xinyu is ne f them. During the Labr Day hliday, she left fr Weihai, a less famus city fr traveling. “Nt nly can I experience the lcal way f life by wandering thrugh a park r explring a market, but the htel here als csts nly a third f the price f Nanjing’s dwntwn htels — it’s much mre cst-effective,” says Wang.
Hwever, escaping large ppular cities desn’t guarantee better experiences. The recent virality f niche (小众的) travel spts has revealed frmerly hidden gems (宝石) t mre travelers, but many small twns and rural areas aren’t well equipped t handle the new turist influx. Handan, a city f 9 millin in Hebei Prvince, suffered vercrwding during the Labr Day hliday when it was listed as the seventh mst ppular “niche” travel spt by scial media. Thse wh cme with high hpes f idyllic (田园风的) breaks ften instead find limited public transprt, entertainment facilities, and charm. Sme even reprt bredm.
N destinatin r time is perfect. Either visitrs see famus sites and face the crwds, r head ff the beaten track and endure wrse accmmdatin and transprt ptins. “With the crazy amunt f peple traveling nw, yu have t let g f smething if yu want sme peace and quiet,” says Mr. Zhai, a turism researcher frm Beijing.
8. Why des the authr mentin Wang Xinyu’s traveling experience?
A. T explain hw t chse htels.B. T intrduce Weihai’s scenic spts.
C. T present reverse travel’s advantages.D. T prve yung peple lve traveling.
9. What might have caused unpleasant reverse traveling experiences?
A. Lw budget way f traveling.B. Higher htel csts during hlidays.
C Overcrwding in famus destinatins.D. Inadequate facilities in small destinatins.
10. What might be Mr. Zhai’s attitude t traveling?
A. Travelers prefer unheralded spts.B. Travelers need t think carefully.
C. Traditinal turs are in decline.D. Reverse travel is a new trend.
11. What wuld be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Reverse Travel: Trends and TrublesB. Cst-effective Hlidays Gain Ppularity
C. Hliday Crwds Truble Chinese TuristsD. Famus Attractins VS Small Destinatins
