The spirit and character of hongmei.

"A few plum trees are in the corner, and cold ling is alone." I knew from a distance that it wasn't snow, because Dimfragrance was coming. "This is a poem about plum blossoms written by the ancients, which describes the delicate fragrance of plum blossoms.

Ordinary plum blossom is white, its white is noble and extremely elegant, it is fresh and beautiful, and its long branches stretch beautifully.

When winter comes, the flowers wither. A vast expanse of silvery white covers the earth. The flowers are zero, and even the evergreen pine and cypress are covered with thick quilts. Only plum blossoms and blossoming Leng Yan are fragrant, proud and self-admiring, pure and flawless, like a proud white swan standing in the snow. In the cold winter, it blooms freely and produces beautiful flowers.

Spring has come and the flowers are blooming. The earth presents a vibrant scene. Brilliant winter jasmine, rich peony flowers and delicate roses are all competing to open in spring, and the gorgeous flowers are beautiful to the extreme, as if competing for the top spot. At this time, who would have thought that there would be proud plum blossoms in the winter when flowers bloom and wither? Also, perhaps, the opening of plum blossoms only lays the groundwork for those colorful flowers that bloom in spring.

Wang Mian, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty, once praised plum blossoms: "Don't praise the good color, as long as the breath is fresh and dry." This poem describes the nobleness of plum blossoms. Although plum blossoms are not as brilliant as winter jasmine, peony is magnificent, and lotus flowers are not stained with mud, but they have a strong and unyielding spirit.

I praise plum blossom, which ranks first among the "four gentlemen", perhaps because of this spirit of pride, modesty, optimism and obscurity.

In our real life, there are many people who are as obscure, modest and optimistic as Meihua, such as cleaners, border guards who defend the country, teachers who teach and educate people, and tireless migrant workers. Their spirit deserves our praise. At the same time, plum blossom also symbolizes those who are more and more brave in the face of difficulties.

Plum blossom, the sacred object in my heart, I want to learn from your spirit of being fearless of snow and obscurity. Take every step of your life.
