For a long time in a foreign country, sometimes it is inevitable to miss the motherland. I miss it very much, and I also thought: how good it is to be able to paint a picture, to paint the characteristics of the motherland, and to hang in front of you at all times. I consulted with a comrade who was good at Danqing and asked her to paint. She said: "This is a difficult problem, what to draw?" Painting bits and pieces of water, one person and one thing, can't do it. Besides, the colors are difficult to adjust. You just tried to adjust the colorful, how can you paint the face of the motherland? "I thought about it, too, and put aside this thought.

In February this year, I came back from overseas and stepped into Kunming, and my heart was drunk. I am a northerner, on the season, the north may be stirring up the wind and snow, the water is thin and the mountains are cold, but the spring in Yunnan is diligent and comes quickly, and everywhere is destroying flowers like a mother-in-law.

The most popular place for flowers is the Xishan Huating Temple. Not to the temple gate, you can smell a fine fragrance in the distance, which penetrates into people's hearts and lungs. This is a plum blossom, there are red plums, white plums, green plums, and cinnabar plums, one tree and one tree, each tree plum is a tree poem. The magnolia flowers are slightly crippled, but the delicate yellow spring is just in time, and the spring color is many times deeper than the water of Dianchi Lake.

In fact, this is not the deepest spring color. And look at that tree, as high as the eaves of Huating Temple, and in the middle of the shiny turquoise leaves, there are thousands of large flowers with heavy petals, so red, each flower is like a burning flame. This is the famous camellia. Without seeing camellias, it is not easy for you to understand the wonders of the poem "Spring is as deep as the sea".

If you want to see camellias, it's a good time. I swam through Huating Temple, and braved the drizzle of the stars to swim once in the Black Dragon Pond, which is a famous place to see camellias. I thought that camellias must be rare, and I didn't want to be in the middle of the trip, but I always saw a scarlet flower flashing next to the bamboo hedge hut. Listen to a friend say, "This is not unusual. If it is in Dali, almost every household raises camellias. When the flowering period arrives, the flowers of various samples compete for beauty, which is beautiful. "

I didn't feel like moaning at the camellia. Camellias are beautiful. Everything that is beautiful in life is created by labor. Who is it day and night, accumulating years and months, watering the flowers with their own sweat, nurturing the flowers like raising their own children, and finally cultivating such beautiful flowers? We should be thankful for the people who beautify our lives for us.

Pu Zhiren is such a skilled craftsman, I will meet him on the edge of Green Lake. There are many camellias in Cuihu Lake, and it is good to bloom well, and a large piece of red is simply the part of the colorful cloud that falls on the shore of the lake. Pu Zhiren led me away in camellia and pointed out that this is called big agate, that is called snow lion; This is the butterfly wing, that is the big purple robe... There are many famous flowers. Later, he climbed the small trunk branch of a tea tree and said: "This is called boy noodles, the flowering period is late, just beat the bones, and the color of the blossom is dark red, but it is the most beautiful." ”

I asked, "As the old saying goes: It's easy to see flowers and it's hard to plant flowers—it must be difficult to cultivate camellias, right?"

Pu Zhiren replied, "It's not difficult, it's not easy." Camellia this thing has some characteristics, water and soil climate, everything must be careful. Afraid of the wind, afraid of the sun, the most like half yin and half yang. The top hated are bugs. There is a kind of drill heartworm, drill into one, and the flower dies. All year round, I don't know how much to worry about. ”

I asked again, "Doesn't a camellia live long?"

Pu Zhiren said, "You can live a long time." Huating Temple has a pine nut scale, which is from the Ming Dynasty, more than five hundred years old, and once it blooms, it can bloom more than a thousand flowers. ”

I didn't feel oh: I couldn't imagine that the camellia tree I saw in Huating Temple came from such a big source.

Pu Zhiren misunderstood what I meant and quickly said, "Don't you believe me?" There is an older tree on the ground in Dali, listening to the old man, it has been a thousand years, flowers have blossomed, and there are countless trees, all called ten thousand teas. The trunk is so thick that several people can't hold it. He said as he stretched out his arms and made a cuddling gesture.

I looked eagerly at his hands, which were full of cocoons and stained with fresh dirt. I looked at his face again, the corners of his eyes were deeply wrinkled, and there was no need to ask him more about his origins, and guessed that he was a middle-aged man who had been troubled. If he leaves you and goes into the crowd, he will disappear at once, and it will never be easy to find him - he is such an extremely ordinary laborer. However, it is such a person, all month and all year, working hard, taking all the energy to cultivate flowers and trees, and beautifying our lives. That's how beauty is created.

At this moment, a group of children also came to see the camellias, one by one, with bright red faces, smiling sweetly and chirping endlessly.

I said, "The boy's face camellia has blossomed." ”

Pu Zhiren was stunned, immediately introspected, smiled and said, "Really, there is no tea flower that looks better than this kind of boy noodles." ”

A thought popped into my head, and I got the idea of a painting. If you use the strongest and most colorful vermilion to paint a large flower with a child's face that blooms at the beginning, can it not symbolize the face of the motherland? I wrote down this simple idea and sent it to the Danqing expert who was far away, maybe she would think about it again and paint a picture for me.
