On the day I was born, the plum blossoms in front of my house were in full bloom. It is said to be cinnabar plum. It's beautiful, so my family named me Plum. My father has taught me ancient poetry since I was a child, and there are many poems about plum blossoms. I can recite a lot in one breath up to now. If I don't mix with peaches and plums, I don't want to be invaded by dust. I like Cao Xueqin's frozen face covered with blood and his heart turned to ashes without complaining. He swallowed Dan medicine by mistake and boned it, stealing Yaochi to take off his old tire. People talk too much about plums. Planting, appreciating, writing and painting plums go deep into every corner of people's lives. Although I know this name sounds good, I find it difficult and vulgar whenever people ask me my name. There are too many people who take this name, and my voice sounds very low. I can't let go of this name. When I arrived in America, I immediately gave myself an elegant English name, thinking that I could always be refined. Unexpectedly, some kind West Renye Fang wanted to know my Chinese name.

I remember the first Mexican asked me my name, so I told him my name was Mei, and he asked what Mei meant. I said it was a flower, and the man broke the casserole and asked what flower it was. I suddenly got tongue-tied. I remember plum blossom translated into English is plum, which means plum. After a pause, I said plum. The man sighed and stopped asking. Obviously, he was disappointed with the answer.

The second time Americans asked about plum blossoms, I accepted the last lesson. I stopped talking about plum blossom and inspired him to say that it is a kind of flower, the most beautiful flower in China. Guess. The man said it was a rose. I was a little disappointed, which further inspired the idea that the flowers were beautiful. Flowers bloom in winter, which China people like best. They are often painted on walls and written in poems. The man thought for a moment and said, Peony is big and beautiful. I think many people in China have peony flowers hanging in their homes. Peony is the only China flower I know.

I have no hope at all. No wonder few Americans know the history and culture of China, let alone a kind of flowers and plants.

I said that plum blossoms were hung on the wall by China people, held in their hands and presented in their hearts. It is a flower that goes deep into the blood and soul. It seems that he was moved by me and suddenly became interested in Meilai.

The chubby old beauty became serious. One day, he suddenly came to me excitedly and said, Sophie, I found Mei. She has a sour fruit, which can be used as salad vinegar. It's delicious. I'm surprised. Yes, some plums can bear fruit. Most flowers and plants have bright flowers but no fruits, while those beautiful and realistic flowers and plants have no bright flowers. It is rare that both plums are beautiful. The beauty of plums is not just fruit, this old beauty only knows how to eat.

The third one asked an Italian who was a musician. I think this man has an artistic taste. Anyway, he has never seen plum blossoms, so he talks nonsense. I said plum blossom is the most beautiful flower in China, which has been cultivated for thousands of years. Plum blossom is a symbol of our national spirit in China. It is fragrant, unyielding and self-reliant. Many people in China fall in love with plum blossoms. In the Qing Dynasty, there was an official named Chen. Hearing that the plum blossom in the lonely mountain was in bloom, he immediately abandoned his official position and rode all the way from Beijing to Hangzhou. Why does he care about the urgency? The lonely mountain is early and plum blossoms are everywhere. There is another man named Lin Hejing. One day, when he was enjoying plum blossoms alone, he was suddenly attracted by their beauty. From then on, he went to Gushan to plant plum blossoms and never went down the mountain again, taking plum blossoms as his wife. The man asked with wide eyes, really? Really. I said that he had a poem about plum blossoms, which was the best of all. Flowers withered, unique plum blossoms swept out against the wind, and the scenery of the small park was beautiful. I blurted out, thin shadow horizontal water shallow, evening fragrance. If you read this poem and this plum blossom, you will make beautiful music. China has a famous song "Three Lane of Plum Blossoms". You can write four lanes of Plum Blossoms.

From then on, every time the man saw me, he would inquire about May. One day, he was forced to find Mei's photos and paintings from the Internet, including a photo of Mo Mei. The man looked at it for a long time and said, is it like a peach blossom? Thin peach blossoms and black, a rare color. I no longer want to explain that it is plum blossom, nor do I want to say that the beauty of plum blossom lies in its thinness, thinness, clearness and inclination.

Obviously, the artist also misunderstood plum blossom. How can I tell him how thrilling it is to suddenly see a plum blossom blooming against the snow in a bleak and snowy winter? How can I tell him that a thousand-year-old plum, with iron branches and copper stems, is as dry as death. After a night of snowstorm, the branches suddenly bloom, which is a sense of vicissitudes. How can I tell him that when you are trapped by love and tossing and turning, suddenly a plum fragrance hits, comes faintly, quietly leaves, which is fascinating. The beauty of plum blossoms is fascinating. If you enjoy plum blossoms in light clouds, morning light, thin cold, drizzle, small bridges, clear streams, open windows and hedges, and enjoy the sound of poetry wine Hengqin and flute in the Woods, you can hardly be a mortal at this time. Plum blossom is a stunner on earth and the messenger of fairyland on earth.

I once chatted with a Japanese, and somehow I talked about the national flower of his own country. He was so excited that he burst into tears. I can't help but say plum blossom. He said his, I said mine, and I didn't quite understand what he said. I believe he didn't understand what I said either. One thing is the same, the deep love for a flower.

Plum blossoms, a thousand-year-old book fragrance, and a thousand-year-old poetic heart have been cultivated so beautifully. China people's ever-changing soul of plum blossom glows with unique charm in the process of meeting the world and becomes a portrayal of national spirit.
