"The edge of a sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." This sentence always gives me the greatest encouragement when I am most helpless, and gives me strength when I am most vulnerable. Therefore, its calligraphy banner was posted in my study, inspiring me all the time. It's one of my favorite quotes.
Looking at this poem, I will recall that unforgettable trip to Huangshan. That day, I happily came to Huangshan Mountain with my parents. Facing the towering Huangshan Mountain, I couldn't help but marvel. At this time, my father and mother suggested that we, a family of three, participate in a mountain climbing competition. I looked at my childlike father and mother and agreed without saying a word. At the beginning, I was far ahead. Looking at the two old playboys who were climbing up with all their strength, I couldn't help but laugh softly. Gradually, the road became narrow and steep, and from time to time, small stones would slip under the feet. I was exhausted and out of breath. I couldn't hold it any longer, so I sat down on the ground, feeling like my whole body was about to fall apart. At this time, the sentence flashed in my mind: "The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." It is indeed like this. Maybe climbing a mountain sounds like an easy task. But the journey to mountain climbing is full of hardships and hardships. However, difficulties cannot stop any warrior with tenacious perseverance. As long as you move forward fearlessly, victory will definitely belong to you. So, after resting for a while, I stood up unsteadily again and took heavy steps again. At this time, I saw the top of the mountain and the top of the mountain that I would reach through my efforts. I understand that the peak of victory is not far ahead, and I am only one step away from the top of the mountain. But I couldn't step out anyway, my legs were as heavy as lead. I gritted my teeth and persisted, trying my best to climb up. Every step was so difficult, and the sweat on my face flowed into my eyes. My eyes were burning and my vision was blurry. But I didn't stop and moved slowly. Finally, I succeeded and I actually hiked to the top of the mountain! I sat on the top of the mountain, and the cool wind that came to me took away all my fatigue. I looked down at the earth, and my heart seemed to grow up in an instant: only through unremitting efforts and difficult trials can I succeed.
Yes, a sword needs to be sharpened before it becomes sharp. Plum blossoms have to go through a period of severe cold before they bloom into fragrant flowers. Life is the same, full of hardships and ups and downs, but as long as you have strong perseverance, victory will not disappoint your hopes. My favorite quote is “The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.”
