Jie Chen, a writer who lives in Chengdu, has worked for media and publishing houses, and has published more than 30 essays and novels such as "Gorgeous Turn" and "Lifting the Pen to the Old Age".
Staying home, writing, gardening... Jie Chen has been deeply influenced by his father since he was a child and likes to play with flowers and plants. "At the time, the home had a very small balcony. There were always a few pots of flowers on the balcony, which were quite moistened by my father. "In the memory of Jie Chen, my father liked to plant flowers very much. After jiechen became a family, he also raised flowers on his balcony. In the late 1990s, her home had a large roof terrace, and she moved several times since then, but it was always related to it – either a roof garden or a first-floor garden with its own garden.
For the "Looking for the Most Beautiful Balcony in Chengdu" activity, she said, "Chengdu people usually like to plant flowers and grass on their balconies. This is the intuitive expression of Chengdu people's love for life and hometown, and is an integral part of this famous historical and cultural city. ”
Jie Chen said that the construction and maintenance of balconies by Chengdu citizens is linked to the overall landscape of Chengdu. "Every household's balcony is beautiful, and the appearance of the whole city will be correspondingly improved." She hopes that through this activity, everyone can make the balcony more beautiful, live more comfortably, and contribute to the improvement of the appearance of the whole city.
Jie Chen introduced that the balcony of his many "flower idiot" friends is very suitable. "The Apan family has a big garden with roses, fuso, begonias, cherry blossoms, etc., which is very beautiful." The small balcony of Xiong Ying's family is staggered and red. "Her balcony is very exquisite, especially suitable for taking small scenes of flowers, and every frame is particularly exquisite and beautiful." Her old friend, the painter He Duoling, also has a beautiful garden. "He has a wonderful garden that is kept with the help of a professional gardener, and he walks the path of the lush and elegant English garden. Every time I go, I am fascinated and envious. She said.
