As a born and bred Beijing citizen， I have always felt privileged to live， study and play in this big bustling city.
So how did I come to live here? Well， my father grew up in Tianjin nearby and my mother was a Beijinger， so I was in effect born a Beijinger. Beijing is a vast city with over 3000 years of history， and at night， if you take a plane coming in to land， you can see sprawling streets and avenues dotted with thousands of lights. That was the first image I saw of Beijing when I was on my way to the delivery room!
I’ve spent all of my life in Beijing where I live with my parents， grandparents and elder brother. I attend a school here and play with my friends here， but for such a big city with enormous amounts of resources， Beijing is very crowded indeed. There are about 17 or 18 million people living in Beijing and you can barely see the sky in clear， blue light. Usually at this time of year it is heavily polluted! But even so， I am very proud to be a Beijing citizen and I have no wish to settle anywhere else.
