A burst of fragrance came to the nose, which made people fascinated. In the middle of spring, the peony that is as white as snow blooms to the fullest, and the White Horse Temple in Luoyang has become a flower-viewing resort for a hundred flowers. Who would have thought that at this bright spring moment, a suffocating incident occurred.
A woman in her 30s turned a blind eye to the beautiful scenery in front of her, ignored the rules of the scenic spot, and actually attacked the peony flowers that were in full bloom! Despite the repeated persuasions of the surrounding tourists, she ignored them and still picked several peonies unscrupulously. This scene is really shocking!
The video captures this breathtaking process. I saw that the woman was dressed in red, shuttling back and forth among the flowers, and her movements of picking flowers were skillful and neat, quite connoisseurish. But I don't know if I was confused for a while, or if I was deliberately sabotage, I made such a move to ruin the reputation.
Seeing that someone was wreaking havoc, many friendly tourists around her spoke out to stop her, but they didn't seem to wake her up. An elderly uncle next to him led by example, bending down and pointing to the broken petals on the ground and preaching: "You see, even the flowers that fall to the ground can't be moved, let alone the ones that bloom on the branches?" But the woman turned a deaf ear and went on her own way.
This move is undoubtedly ridiculous. No matter how delicate a flower is, it should not be plucked so greedily. What's more, peony has an extraordinary status in Luoyang and is regarded as the "king of flowers". Even if it is maintained at home, it must be difficult to completely replicate the environment in which it was originally grown. Once it leaves its mother, its spirit is greatly diminished.
Afterwards, the person in charge of the White Horse Temple responded to the incident, saying that there are indeed strict rules in the scenic area, prohibiting tourists from picking any flowers. However, it may have been due to negligence on the part of the staff at the time. It was also revealed that although the value of peonies in the garden is not as exaggerated as "one flower and 10,000", it is by no means an idle thing and must be taken care of.
With the lessons of the past, I believe that the scenic spot will increase its efforts in the future, and call on visitors to visit the park in a civilized manner in all directions, and do not take risks. After all, a blooming peony is more appealing than a flower worn on the body. And the beauty of spring in the scenic spot also belongs to everyone, not to someone's private property.
I don't know what happened to the woman who picked the flowers, but what she did has been nailed to the pillar of shame of "barbarism" and "uncivilized". When the flower is ready to bloom, we love its fragrance; When it's in full bloom, we love its flamboyance.
However, good things need to be cared for, not possessed. I hope that this incident can cause us to reflect on the quality of civilization, so that the concept of "visiting the garden without picking flowers" can take root in everyone's hearts.
