People only admire her talent now!
However, at the beginning, her bud,
Soaked with tears of struggle,
The blood rain of sacrifice is scattered everywhere.
This poem has only one meaning, a unit for organizing sentences: beautiful flowers. People just marvel at and envy her beauty when she blooms, and don't realize how many hardships and great sacrifices she has experienced when she is still in bud.
This is a philosophical poem, but the author does not preach empty, but uses a lot of metaphors and rhetoric to make sense, which gives a vivid impression. "Flower" is compared to the success of life. "Germination" is compared to the initial stage of success; "Spring of Tears" is not only the hard work of planting flowers; "Blood rain" is not just a sacrifice to moisten flowers.
