Where is the elm tree that once saved lives?

Have you ever seen plants with red, purple, yellow, pink, white and green flowers? But it happened that the elm flower is, this is Angela Yu Chien. In the spring of March, when it is warm and cold, clusters of people will crowd the branches of elm trees. She doesn't have the brilliance of peach blossoms, the fragrance of apricot blossoms and the beauty of cherry blossoms. But she will always linger in my memory, because she almost saved a generation in the early 1960s! "In the spring of March, the wheat seedlings are fresh, and the boy carries the basket to pick up the money." This is a scene in which the ancients described children picking elm money. Friends of the same age, do you still remember the elm money that saved countless lives in the three-year natural disaster in the early 1960s? When I was a child, especially after three years of natural disasters, the money was piled up in front of the village and behind the house overnight, just like knowing the sufferings of the world. In an instant, the hungry crowd saw the long-lost food, took a long pole with a hook, poured it into the tree, greedily broke off a green elm money, and put it in their mouth eagerly. The smell was a little sweet, and the hunger suddenly disappeared. White elm flour mixed with steamed wheat rice is characterized by "softness, softness, luster, softness, sweetness and fragrance". Yucaier's growth period is very short. In a few days, the new green of the branches has gradually faded, turned pale yellow and floated with the wind. But after three years of natural disasters, money was always eaten up by hungry people, and no poem floated in the wind. When the elm money runs out, people eat leaves, which are picked, dried and ground, and steamed with a little flour. After the leaves are finished, peel off the bark and rough skin outside. The shaved bark is sticky and sweet. After drying in the sun, it is ground with a roller and mixed with corn flour or other coarse grains to increase gluten and satisfy hunger. Fifty years is fleeting. Now I have no worries about food and clothing, but I will never forget the wisps of elm money hanging all over the branches in March. It is an indispensable food in my life, a food to eat when the green and yellow are out of touch, and a delicious food after eating and drinking. Jade money falls and floats thin. It's beautiful. In the face of disaster, he lost his poetry, and it became a life-saving delicacy in the mouth of the hungry. Now I have gone back to my hometown (Xi 'an, Hu, Yangtze River Delta) to find Yu Qian who has saved countless lives, but I have never found him. The old man said that elm trees were eaten up by hungry people in three years of natural disasters! Now, if you can find an elm tree and eat green elm money, it should be a treasure with endless aftertaste. Yu Qian pinned the feelings of a generation, and he made it difficult for a generation to let go. I won't praise Yu Qian with poetry. Thanks to Yu Qianshu's selfless dedication, I deeply cherish the memory of his death in the three-year natural disaster on the yellow land!
