The Slow City Movement, which is initiated in Italy and advocates slowing down the rhythm of life and tuning in a green and sustainable lifestyle, has recently awarded Gaochun, a little village in Jiangsu the title of "Slow City" for its laid-back lifestyle and sustainability. However, young people living in that village don’t take it as good news because they are annoyed by the absence of nightlife and bustling urban excitement. As a college student, what benefits can you see from the movement? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案
Slow City, Simple Return The Slow City Movement, initiated by four small Italian cities, advocates slowing down the rhythm of life and tuning in a green and sustainable lifestyle. It’s a concept that Chinese people are rarely acquainted with. Least known is the fact that Gaochun in Jiangsu Province has become the first "slow city" in China Despite complaint of boredom from young people, I think the Slow City Movement is a hopeful return to self, nature and tradition. In the first place, for residents of a slow city, they are blessed with a calming and healthy way of life. The 135 slow cities in 24 countries around the world encourage their citizens to take an afternoon nap every day and eat only naturally-grown food, also known as slow food. Apart from better health, peace of mind is easily sought, thanks to an anti-pollution and anti-noise proposition limiting the number of industrial establishments and the use of cars. People work about 35 hours per week, with their clock set back 30 minutes. The Slow City Movement has turned down the volume in people’s busy, noisy and complicated modern life. In the second place, slow cities are granted with a green and beautiful environment. All slow cities are equipped with a noise control system and an environmental sewage treatment mechanism. Besides, the number of billboards and neon signs is kept to a minimum. Sustainability comes first in filtering potential business investors and eliminating those with environmental hazards and high energy consumption. Following a path of ecological conservation and development, the once-barren hillside of Gaochun City was transformed into a green gem. With the interest of future generations in mind, people there strive to strike a balance between nature and economic progress. Last and most importantly, the Slow City Movement helps to preserve a unique local culture. Swamped by the tide of globalization, urban cities nowadays are finding it difficult to maintain individuality. People usually feel left behind, if no fast food chains, supermarkets or department stores are introduced to their communities. Against this backdrop, the Slow City Movement underlines keeping the cultural and natural personalities of a city, especially saving products or customs signifying a local taste. In Gaochun, for instance, the handicraft industry is rescued from the danger of extinction, saving not only the livelihood of local craftsmen but also an invaluable cultural heritage. Nightlife and urban excitement fashion a city coated with sleepless youth and vitality. But what we eventually need is a final home of peace and tranquility, a shelter for our souls, which is what slow city is all about.
