The most classic sentence in "Rain Lotus" is: The rain in the sky is heavy but indifferent, and there is such a red lotus in the vast and unreachable gray! Like a fire about to light up, like a can of color about to be poured out!
"Rain Lotus" is a prose published by Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House. It is selected from "Zhang Xiaofeng's Prose" and the author is Zhang Xiaofeng. Zhang Xiaofeng's heart is often moved by a flower blooming or a gust of wind. She wrote that she walked through a lotus pond in the rain and saw a half-opened red lotus standing in the middle. She was stunned and stopped for a moment, which triggered infinite sighs about life. The visual and poetic brushstrokes, based on events, emotions and reasons, arouse people's spiritual shock and thinking about life.
The author chose "rain lotus", an image with Chinese cultural connotations, to praise the noble and noble temperament that always appears in life and the proud character that supports the century. Novel metaphors and shocking exaggerations are Zhang Xiaofeng's unique ways of conveying his artistic feelings. Like the red lotus in the rain, "like a pile of fire that is about to light up, like a jar of color that is about to be poured out"! The green in the pool is "a silent song", and Yuhe's spirit "supports the pride of many centuries!"
