May has passed, the sun has increased its power, and the trees... The pomegranate tree is the loveliest of these few trees.
Appreciation: "When I don't want to fight for beauty anymore", the trees surrender to the power of the sun, and only a few trees bravely start talking. "The pomegranate tree is the loveliest of these few trees," this sentence leads the entire text. The three words "the cutest" embody the author's love and praise for pomegranates.
The pomegranate tree has the branches of the plum tree and the branches of the willow... but has lost the shortness of the plum tree.
Appreciation: "Strange but not withered" describes the pomegranate branches that are strong, unique, protruding but not dry and thin; "Fresh but not feminine" describes the pomegranate leaves that are refreshing and fresh but not weak and tacky. "Having both the strengths of plum and willow trees without the shortcomings of plum trees and willow trees" highlights the uniqueness of pomegranates.
So I prefer this summer heart.
Appreciation: The author compares pomegranate to the "heart of summer" for the second time. This is from the perspective of the inherent essential characteristics of pomegranate: "warmth" and "full of vitality".
