After days of rain, smoke rises slowly from the villages with sparse trees. The cooked meals are given to the people working in the east of the village.

I cultivate myself in the mountains, watch the morning hibiscus bloom in the morning and fade in the evening; I eat vegetarian food in the Panasonic, and I don’t touch the dew and sunflowers.
