Where are you from?

I always could not come up with a good answer to a simple question:
where is your hometown?
I was born and raised in Shanghai, where most non-Shanghainese
find local people there snobbish. I do not like snobbish people, but
I like lots of friends I met there.
I grew up in a remote city among big deserts, where there are full of
legendary stories in Martial Arts books. However, the only thing that
stays in my memory is the monotorious noises from the railway
tracks that I heard in the train compartments when I traveled in
and out.
Tianjin might be qualified as my hometown now, as my parents
and my sister live in this city. I visited Tianjin only once, which
was several years ago. It is funny to think that Tianjin is my
hometown, but I am least familiar with it.
Where is my home? I think it is where my heart stays -- 心安是家.
