Mr. Lao She believes that the joy of growing flowers is: joy and sorrow, laughter and tears, flowers and fruits, fragrance and color.
Excerpt from the original text:
I love flowers, so I also love growing flowers. I haven't become an expert in flower cultivation yet, because I don't have time to research and experiment. I only regard growing flowers as one of the pleasures in life. I don’t care whether the flowers are big or small. As long as they bloom, I am happy. In my small yard, it is full of flowers and plants in summer, and the kittens have no choice but to go to the room to play. There is no playground for them on the ground.
Although there are many flowers, there are no exotic flowers. Precious flowers and plants are difficult to maintain. It is sad to see a good flower become sick and dying. The climate in Beijing is not very good for growing flowers. Winters are cold, springs are windy, and summers are either drought or heavy rains. Autumn is the best, but frosts can occur suddenly. In this climate, I am not that capable of raising the good flowers of the south. Therefore, I only raise flowers and plants that are good to grow, easy to grow, and that I can work hard on.
There are joys and sorrows, laughter and tears, flowers and fruits, fragrance and color. It requires both labor and knowledge. This is the joy of growing flowers.
Extended information:
The pen name Lao She was first used in the novel "Lao Zhang's Philosophy". Other pen names include Jie Qing, Jie Yu, Feiwo, Honglai, etc. Chinese modern novelist, dramatist and famous writer. Lao She has many works, including "Camel Xiangzi", "Four Generations Under One Roof", "Tea House", etc.
One of his famous quotes includes: I am a pawn in the literary and art world, and I have been practicing every day for more than ten years. Between the desk and the stool, the pen is like a gun, spilling blood on the paper. What I can be proud of is my hard work; a small soldier does not have a general's strategy in his heart, but I have indeed done everything a small soldier should do.
It was like this before, it is like this now, and I hope it will be like this in the future. On the day I enter the tomb, I would like someone to give me a short tablet with the following inscription: The dedicated pawns of the literary and art world sleep here.
