White Camellia

Xi Murong
Translated by Lin Hongwei

Camellia is blooming again. They are such white and beautiful flowers, blooming
all over the tree.
Every time I walk by a blossoming camellia tree, I cannot help admiring its
beauty.
They are such white and gentle flowers. They are originally small green buds,
then they grow plump and slowly bloom: from half bloom to full bloom. When
camellia blooms, you can understand every word it says if you are willing to observe
carefully.
Each camellia can only bloom once. Therefore, they are extremely careful to
avoid any mistakes. They welcome the only spring in their lives in such a cautious
way that every flower in a tree is properly bloomed.
Thus, I am left amazed and breathless at the beauty of life every time I walk by a
blossoming camellia tree.
