Season of the drifting fragrance of the cinnamon
Where does the name of Gui Lin comes from, I have not studied and criticized of a text in detail, the statement on the native in Gui Lin, named Gui Lin, it is the meaning that a cinnamon grows into forest. Sweet-scented osmanthus tree Gui Lin common varieties of trees, no matter where does it move, the streets and lanes, on the boulevard, the so clear that you can see to the bottom one is along the river, the park where the stream of people is crowded, the desolate and uninhabited wild country, on the quiet and silent soil mountain, you will see sweet-scented osmanthus trees growing green and freshing, daring and energetic to grow having no worry at all. Because of locating in the subtropical area, the climate is warm, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree nearly keeps green tall and straight heroic bearing throughout the year, the leaf on the tree is or dark green, jade green, or dark green, the texture is changed with season, or soft, or hard, take off, go green essence. This lets what people of Gui Lin are enjoying throughout the year very joyfully be green, is looking at that green, can yet be regarded as a best way to raise eyes. As long as the heaven and earth endure, the cinnamon roots in people’s heart of Gui Lin, incorporate the dense love of the people of Gui Lin
Grows up in Gui Lin from childhood and has deep impressions on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, especially that strong fragrance, let me often get drunk and can’t free oneself during that time infatuatedly. In my impression, the sweet-scented osmanthus is not the most beautiful flower, golden petal, tiny and weak, unattractive at all, without national beauty and heavenly fragrance of the tree peony, it is gorgeous and bewitching that there is no rose, the light fairy without the narcissus even more is beautiful, even if the season that the sweet-scented osmanthus is in bloom the most and hold, can only smell fragrance of flowers without seeing flowering, let people feel, enter one illusory fragrant place, the prospect everywhere, but there is no shade of a scene of flowers. Devote everything one’s own unselfishly, and no trace will stay, perhaps this is the place where the sweet-scented osmanthus deserved praise most.
While studying, we live in the school, live the dull and busy collective livelihood. Have a class to study in the classroom every day, go to the playground to play soccer after school, or play basketball. The school that I belong to belongs to the key school of the suburb of Gui Lin, student’s primary school from each suburb, all concentrated on enrolling in by the mark, even if the environment of the school is very bad, everybody think that has the honor to enter the key school, there is greatest excitement in the heart, the ones that will not take notice of the campus at all are simple and crude, do not even have a drop of presentable trees. At that time, there was not large stretch of green meadow on the playground, in order to prevent and cure water accumulation, all paved with the cinder in the runway on the playground, court see one green grass, see, stir up a cloud of dust only play football, all over the sky yellow sand, nearby to see soul only, see people face, see a ball flies out among the dust between being in a trance, and then, a group of persons mixed with the loess are bracing up to that ball to bolt and leave. The difference of the environment of the school, therefore is thus clear. On such land, it is very difficult to see a big presentable tree, only one or two little trees are surviving in the loneliness. Whether it is a sweet-scented osmanthus tree, I do not have precise memory, the season in bloom in the cinnamon flower, I have not seen sweet-scented osmanthus in the campus at least
One day, when studying individually in the classroom, I suddenly smelt the sweet-scented osmanthus with strong one share floating into outside the window fragrantly, seek and look fragrantly outside, but there is no shade of sweet-scented osmanthus. I realize the truth suddenly, already will it be the end September, come at a time cinnamon season that flower turn on. Planting the street of the cinnamon all over the city, those flowers are exactly open unprincipledly, the fine long hair launches the golden yellow petal without reserve, show the tiny and tender and yellow pistil, the strong fragrance of flowers floats in the street longly, float in the enclosure, drift into common people’s home, drift into the campus of the sound of reading aloud of book sound too. The sky is azure and azure, spotless and flawless clouds have floated in the air, I look up and look, seem to see the mirage beautiful, of sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the street of Gui Lin of inverted image there, end of the branch is full of golden petals, tiny, weak, open unusually bright-colouredly, wind blow, take away one grains of golden pollen, bring Gui Lin every corner of city into strong fragrance of flowers too. Beautiful sweet-scented osmanthus much, American season much
The sweet-scented osmanthus lets the students wait for a chance to cause trouble fragrantly, shouting softly of girl liking to be beautiful, fragrant, smell good. Some whisper each other, are discussing, has run out of the campus stealthily quickly. The next day, teachers came into the classroom and gave a lesson, called in surprise, the so strong sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant. A few girls cover the mouth and smile stealthily, open the exquisite and small and exquisite stationery box, pieces of golden sweet-scented osmanthus are piled up inside, it is fragrant that no wonder there is very strong sweet-scented osmanthus in the classroom, in fact many classmates have acted as a back production and spent robbers in the class
The sweet-scented osmanthus is being transmitted silently, from the girl’s stationery box, pass to the small schoolbag, pass to their hairpin, even pass to the boy’s hands stealthily, having had trace which a yellow petal leaves in boys’ book end too, this petal is transmitting the pure friendship between classmates, transmit their shy unrequited love difficult to cover too, let the young heart have joyful the baffled one, there are baffled posts that are moved too
At that time, it was young that we were on the occasion of the youth, did not have adult’s miscellaneous state of mind, there are no pressure and worries of life, seem in the age that a kind of purity likes illusion forever, the sky of soul is azure a azure one forever, pure like the white cotton fibre, there is not a silk impurity. We study each other, will regard the other side as one’s own rival selfishly once in a while, and more time, we will open one’s own heart wide after the candid exchange; We play soccer together, are not clustering round the bathhouse of getting into until darking; We act as the cheering squad for the basketball team of the school, cheer for the score each time; We go out to drink beer stealthily together, can not cover up the aspiration of heart, there is a kind of joyful one that grow to manhood oneself; We
A lot of years later, we cherish the memory of that bright time, it lets everybody ever have a pure condition, let people regard as memory, make people infatuated, just as that is full of fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus strongly, the flower is in bloom in season, always make people extremely joyful. A lot of years later, we will also recall the day reviewing together in the classroom, remember the figure of running on the court that stirs up a cloud of dust, remember the shy expression in one’s eyes that peeps in the classroom, remember in season of the drifting fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus, we once had a lot of happy mood ……
