Spring in the north is not long, and it is often blown away by strong winds when there are too many cooks. Peach, plum, clove and begonia in Jinan are blown away by the yellow wind almost every year. The ground is dark and the sky is faint, and the fallen flowers and yellow sand are rolled together. When I opened my eyes again, spring had passed!

In spring, the yellow leaves turn green. New green leaves have grown on the dead branches. Sunshine smiles gently at everyone, birds are singing and flying, flowers are blooming, red flowers, white flowers and purple flowers. The stars are shining, red, green and white. Blue sky, free wind, dreamlike love.
