Where the heart is?

In three days I will leave China behind for a few weeks and head back to Australia to spend time with my family and friends. This will be a very 　31　 　trip for me as, for the first time ever, I will not be 　32　 　to my hometown. You see, my parents sold their house in my hometown and moved about 500 kilometers away.

In Hometown Boy we learn of a man who clings(坚持) to his 　44 　and continues to make his hometown a 　45　 　of his life for now and for the future. He makes it his 　46　 　to give back to the community that has given so much to him and his family.

As I 　47　 　the days until I head back to my motherland and 　48　 　where exactly my home is, I am 　49　 　to decide where my heart is. And quite 　50　 , my heart is wherever I am.
