Nostalgic Whispers |
|
When I was young, on the way to my grandmother's house, bamboo was
everywhere. Clusters of vibrant green bamboo swayed in the wind, reaching
straight up towards the sky. The lush branches and leaves stretched high,
just like my childhood dreams that seemed unattainable, floating high above
and only to be admired from afar. As the wind blew, the emerald green colors
swayed in the air, and the refreshing scent of bamboo filled the
surroundings, instantly rejuvenating the senses.
Bamboo has unique nodes. After a spring rain, bamboo shoots emerge from the
ground and grow taller day by day, shedding their thick sheaths to reveal
section after section of bamboo joints. So many bamboo joints, arranged in
circles, with hollow stems connecting them. As the tender bamboo grows, the
joints gradually elongate and become larger, becoming even more beautiful
and straight.
Whenever moonlight shines through the bamboo into the courtyard, scattered
bamboo shadows dance on the stone slabs. Their graceful movements have a
hint of mystery, exuding an enchanting presence. I would sit in the
courtyard, listening to the rustling sound of bamboo in the wind, and my
grandmother would tell me stories about the wolf grandmother. Bamboo carries
my most precious childhood memories.
The Plum Blossom, cutting through snow and ice.
"The plum blossoms may not be as white as snow, but the snow cannot match
the fragrance of the plum." In winter, when all the flowers wither, only the
plum blossoms proudly bloom amidst the snowy landscape. Each small flower
opens in the snowy expanse, with petals arranged in succession, like
mischievous little girls in an icy world, their faces blushing and cheeks
swollen with redness. They stand tall in the wind, unaffected by the blowing
wind and rain, even with snowflakes three thousand feet high and freezing
cold stretching for miles. They continue to bloom, cutting through the snow
and ice, displaying their resilience in the harsh cold.
The Resolute Pine.
"The heavy snow bends the green pines, but the green pines stand tall and
straight. To know their greatness, wait until the snow melts." Look at those
straight pine trees on the snow-covered ground. They are covered with thick
layers of snow, yet they stand tall and unwavering in the wind and snow,
like fearless warriors guarding the border, unaffected by the winter cold.
Although their branches are covered with a white blanket of snow, it cannot
conceal the upright and majestic appearance of the pine trees. With
snowflakes falling softly and the winter wind blowing, the resolute pine
trees are the most beautiful scenery in the snowy landscape. In the snow,
children play snowball fights and chase each other joyfully. The pine trees
silently watch over them, standing in the distance, nodding and smiling.
"The plum blossoms are often portrayed by skilled artists, but who knows the
true nature of the pine and bamboo. All the flowers in the world are their
friends, but in the cold of winter, only these three remain." The "Three
Friends of Winter" have been praised by countless literati and are beloved
by modern people. When all other flowers wither in the harsh winter, they
still flourish, bringing vitality to the world. I love pine and bamboo, and
I love plum blossoms. Their resilience in the face of severe cold inspires
me to never give up in difficult times. |

In my childhood memories, bamboo was a common sight on the way to my
grandmother's house. The swaying clusters of vibrant green bamboo
represented my unreachable dreams, floating high above in the air. The
refreshing scent of bamboo filled the surroundings, accompanied by the
gentle rustling sound in the wind. Bamboo's unique nodes showcased the
gradual growth and beauty of this plant. Moonlight shining through the
bamboo created dancing shadows, while my grandmother's stories added to the
magical ambiance. Similarly, the plum blossoms stood tall amidst the snowy
landscape, emitting a fragrant scent that surpassed the whiteness of snow.
The resolute pine trees, covered in snow, exemplified strength and
resilience. These three friends of winter, bamboo, plum blossoms, and pine,
became a symbol of inspiration and beauty in the face of adversity. |
