I have four lives, and each life exists in one season of the year: daffodils and orchids in spring, lotus flowers in summer, Haitang in autumn and wintersweet. Without these four kinds of flowers, there would be no life for me. If this flower is missing in any season, it means that this season will kill me.
Narcissus is the best in Nanjing. I made my home in Nanjing, not to settle in Nanjing, but to settle in the hometown of Narcissus. I remember that in the spring of the afternoon, I was poor and had no spare money for the New Year. When daffodils bloom, I have no money to buy them. My family says I should restrain myself. It's nothing strange not to see daffodils for a year. I said, do you want to take my life? I would rather lose a year's life than spend a season without flowers. Besides, I braved the heavy snow and rushed back to Nanjing just to see the daffodils. If I can't see them, why not just stay somewhere else for the New Year? My family couldn't persuade me, so they gave me daffodil jade ornaments.
