Spring

   Spring is no longer that shy girl in my memory, who came very late, hesitated in the distance, overwhelmed by shyness until I waved to her. Then she would scurry happily nearer, stop feet away, waiting to be hugged. But here and now, she, at the sight of me, grabs my hands and pulls me into her arms before I know what＇s happening.
   So here I am, a boy accustomed to the drab and dry and dreary spring of the north, devouring the sweetness of a south
   It rained days ago and everything glistens with moisture.Trees grow with new leaves of lively light green, not the dull and dusty color of winter. Several cherries are in full blossom now, with flowers clustering and squeezing and squabbling on the twigs. What attract me most are the meadows, the greenish yellow meadows.
   Sprawling on the meadows with grasses kissing my face, I can hear the rustling of leaves in the brisk breeze, the whispering and chuckling and bickering of birds, and the trotting, shuffling, tramping of people passing by.
   I can smell the refreshing fragrance that pervades the air,fragrance of flowering magnolias and growing grasses and moist soil. I inhale the fresh air as deeply as I can and the aroma in vades my whole being.
   Also, I can see the fallen leaves of platanes wafting around like butterflies flying from one flower to another. Once so high above on the treetops enduring the trials of bitter cold and blustering gale, they are so easily torn loose by a warm breeze.Why?
   I cannot help thinking of our situation. We Chinese defy any powerful enemy, but how come we have been so easily attacked by SARS?

In Beijing, I am afraid Spring is not a beautiful season. I say that because I can hardly find a good day without a strong wind and a desertstorm. When the wind blows from northwest, the dust as a uninvited guest rushes into my home, and covers all the windowsill and the table. Although there are a few trees but the catkin flys over everywhere, which makes me have a lot of bother.

I am not sure which year I began to dislike the Spring, but in my childhood, the thing is different. When spending a long cold winter, each children went out the door and the community playground became our heaven again. Encouraging by teachers, the children try to find the new change of nature. I remembered at that time all the students like to go to the hill near by the school after class. We run and sang in the country road. Every one want to find some new things such as the melting ice, the first sound of lark or the first opening flower which is the most important thing, because it is the sign of the spring --- the teacher told us that. Every student did their “spring time table”, which students recorded every change in a large paper. The various way can be used to record. For example, the first feather and tree leaf was sticked on the “spring time table” and the date was written below these things.

Since graduate from university, I have never traveled during spring. In fact I find this season is the most busy time. Whole year business need to be planed, and my boss require some projects to be finished as quickly as possible. “Time plays a vital role in gaining customer’s trust” the boss sayed. So I have no chance to go out to see what’s new in the spring. With heavy job press, the spring is out from my life. In the morning I am in a hurry to catch the bus, and then sit in front of screen for 8 hours, and sometimes still work to the middle night. I forget the spring totally, only the dust in the table which brings by the spring wind makes me complain. “The beauties are always around you,which just decides your sight light.” A seller said in a tv program, who is work at a car shop. The work was very busy and he could not have enough time stay with family. what is the profit a successful man to win the bill only to lose his freedom. One day he droped the mobile phone into river and decided to enjoy life with family. He move a island near by the south of africa and buy a small ship for fishing. This story gave me many ideas. I began refuse some extra work. I want to travel in this spring to see the new grasses, new flowers and to find childhood. In the hill’s spring, the nature is new. My eyes is full of the light green trees and the smell of flowers make me refresh.

My spring
Spring, the season which I ever loved. When I was a child, I liked walking here
and there in spring. I liked to do the farm working with my mother. When my
mother picked tea leaves, I just followed her and pick the grass on the ground.
Sometimes the bees flew around me and I just screamed and ran to my mother.
But in fact, you know, I didn’t scared. Everything was so interesting and I liked
it. I liked the green grass, the growing flowers and the blue sky with the clean
clouds. Sometimes it was rainy, I could walking with an umbrella and saw the rain
beads drop one by one. If I was alone at the moment, I often ran without the umbrella.
And when I got home, my mother would be angry and criticized me: “You are a girl.
How can you do that?…” Perhaps I couldn’t do that. But I like the feeling, the fun
in spring.
But now, I have grown up. I have my work. Every day I should work. I’m busy with my
working and my studying. So are the others. I could have no time to travel. And I even
don’t know the coming of spring. Last weekend, I met a little girl on my way home.
She walked so slowly, one step, two step… I was a little curious. “What is the matter?
Can I help you?” “I’m listening.” “What?” “ I’m listening to the birds. The birds are
singing.” The girl was looking up the sky and said happily. “ Can you hear?” “Yes.”
I looked at the girl, just like looking at myself before. “Do you know what they are singing?”
“ Where is the spring? Where is the spring?”
Where is the spring? Till now, I thing, spring is in our hearts. You can always have the
beautiful season just you would like

Has spring come? I am still in the severe cold of winter. Last autumn, Mum departed us with the cold. Since then I was plunged into the cold of winter. I long for the days when she stayed with us, such an understanding mum and a heart to heart friend to me. To me there is no generation gap between us, she being as young as us. I am lost in the deep sorrow of losing mum. I just can not imagine the coming of mother's day, when a daughter expresses her good wishes for mum. Never will I have the chance again. So I think of mum who I will never meet and never share with us the sunshine spring days.

So I think of mum on such a sunshine afternoon. Many warm afternoon, I take a walk with mum along the field in my hometown, listening to mum talking about my childhood experience repeatedly and jokingly, listening to her talking about the her youth, listening to her talking about her understanding of life and love. Never will the days come back to me. But I still what remember she said to me, life is passed on from one generation to another, but sunshine is always the same with us. The sunshine has witnessed the happiness of mother and daughter. With the sunshine, I feel the touching and caressing of mum and I understand what mum has said to me: sunshine is in our deep heart and never fill your heart with cold.

So on such a sunny afternoon, I think of mum, who has passed away with the cold winter and stayed with us and the warm sunshine forever. More can I understand the treasure of sunshine outside and deep in our heart.

Has spring come? Spring actually has come already and will never leave.

Once I was asked which season I prefer, I simply poured out Spring. Actually I had no idea about Spring’s merits. Later, after reading William Blake’s words “Merrily Merrily to welcome in the Year,” I got to know spring is pleasant.
Spring differs from Summer, Autumn or Winter. Spring is warm, more smoothly than summer’s heat. Spring’s vigor excels the chill of late autumn. Winter can not struggle any more when spring pushes forward. People celebrate every Lantern Festival to welcome a new spring. When the warm wind brings cherry flowers in blossom and willow branches into burgeoning, people all go outside to visit the beauty created by nature. Since the Haircut Day in lunar calender, people’s fear of cold fades away. The old and young, girls and boys, all give a big hug to the nice nature under the sky, with flying skite and riding outside.
Spring may lead you to the wonderland of merry memory. It may also put you under the bewilderness, since you have thrown yourself into the happiness and forget the forthcoming trouble you may confront. That’s why the elder people often warn us to look forward to the dangers in front while we enjoy the present moment. To make a plan for the summer while enjoying the happy moment may be a rational approach we should adopt.
From the early childhood, I tended to induldge myself to play much every spring. Up to now, I laugh alone every time time when I look back on my little stories in my childhood. In those years, my little pals and I would slip away from school and play in the grassland to the north of my village. Under blue sky, our good memory all left on the green grass with the unconverable spings which I always cherish.
Now I even wonder what it will be like if we have a spring holiday. I even envy my friend Leo in America. He can have a seven-day holiday every spring. I just feel jealous espcially when I recall william Blake's poem "Spring".

Different kind spring

      Yesterday, warmly positive was illuminating earth, truly had found the spring feeling.

    Passed by the plot leisure square, the bund willow tree already long left the tender leaf, if not carefully looked was blind, if the mischievous child in plays hide-and-seek with you, gently waves with the wind. In the square, comes out the child which lets in fresh air, heartily is running, is jumping, the airborne kite also runs joins in the fun, butterfly, dragonfly, long centipede... ...Shouts the friend to make the partner to resemble gathers together.

    Today, the short warmth followed by cold, the suddenly cold current, drove away yesterday warmth, the children nose, the cheek has been much more frozen, put on few trembles in the wind. Day after tomorrow, will be "38" the festival, the school specially for each female teaching and administrative staff, but also will have in the rear service silently the staff which will serve for us, each person of Kang Naixin, will be bringing the delicate fragrance flower, will pray for heavenly blessing transmits, that move will be infecting each teacher, also infected each child. Saw side , on their face smiling face is brighter than us. Perhaps, they had not thought oneself also can receive Kang Naixin, had not thought oneself also can like other female teacher such also to be able to receive a blessing, obtains a respect. Suddenly thinks of "38" festival that day, when our wife, the mother receive that gift, receives certificate time which that perhaps is always first time obtains, how scene can be!

    This very moment, in the heart is warm, one kind of fervor in blood flow... ...

    The respect for this, enjoys the education. The body is the attached elementary school people is our unhappiness and arrogant!

Spring, the staring season of the year, has always drawn praises from poets. Commoner who do not have such capability to describe spring in their eyes with their writing skills have their own ways to celebrate coming of the starting season. Outing are the top priority in spending holidays of spring. It’s no wonder that the Labor Day Golden Week has become gatherings of crowds. I possibly assume people share something common with animals that will return normal orders when spring comes, and share something common with plants that normally start a new cycle to breed and bloom.
Although such an essay is required to praise spring, I would rather put my wordings to the spring in the past, because current spring does not bring me any good impression owing to deterioration of surrounding environment. So what’s the difference between spring in the past and current spring? Firstly, sometimes you don’t feel there’s any transition from Winter to Summer, which should be the role of spring. Usually the scenario is like this, one day it becomes so hot and you have to change your winter coats to summer skirts and T-shirts. One day you suddenly realize all trees become green, and you wonder when they grew those leaves. I still remember in the spring of past I could witness those leaves from very small size to larger, I change my winder garment to sweaters, shirts, then skirts. But now, there is no such a transition, or such a transition is so short which can be neglected.
I do not want to live in the past, I strongly hope such a spring we have been go through when we were still children will come back, when the sky is blue, breeds passing our face with smell of grasses, rather than the smell of car emissions. People enjoy their holiday in an environmental ways, rather throwing their waste plastics around.

Time flies. Regardless of our preparation, Spring, who has already arrived at silently, and Winter turned back silently as well. Spring returns to the earth, the creation recovers.
  The willows start making green bud, the same to our classical poems: "No one knows who cut a thin leaf, Spring breeze is just like scissors in February ", "A soft wind kissed dike and the tops of the willow , and we were all caught up in the beautiful scene of the spring smoke". The ice has been already melted, and ripples of river light in the sun, "The ducks always firstly feel the river getting warm in Spring. " The ducks frolic in the lake, and the trickle small stream of the mountain light in the sun and descend away to the horizon. Repeatedly the spring breeze awakenned grassland, and a beautiful painting scene unfolded before us :"the breeze blow lawn and there are cows and sheep all over". The chimney smoke of the farmer and clouds in the sky merge into an integral whole between each mountain.The rapeseed is in bloom and flowers perfumed the air. People are occupied in sowing. Bees and butterflies are also busy.
   The spring is a tender feeling and serene, thriving and progressive, shy and affectionate. She is a landscape painting and filled with green young bamboo and red flowers and greenery. No matter what kind of mood you are, Spring always" make everything moist silently and sneak in a night with the breeze". All in all,Spring always arrive without attention. It is a very happy affair in the childhood thatyou might enjoy listening the song ,which the insects sing in the grass cluster,and counting stars in the night skies, nevertheless all that have been the fine recollection eventually.
   Spring is easy to go, we should cherish the cent in Spring and what’s more,we mustn’t idle our time away. Hope for us in spring, also give us courage, along the direction of spring, we want to step each one –step.After all, the moment of a year lies in spring. In a word, we might as well start to do from now, being filled with confidence, heading for glorious tomorrow.

I love these first few weeks of spring - it seems nothing is growing (especially this year, when we went from warm to freezing and back to warm again), but it's the little things - the delicate lettuces, even the chives and the dandelion greens. Everything tastes green. Light green, slightly bitter, sometimes floral, the greens of Springtime speak of hope and renewal. It's no wonder Spring has been the season for rebirth for cultures and religions since the beginning of time. Wow, I'm pretty philosophical for a Saturday morning, aren't I?

As is the way in glorious Shanghai, winter turned into summer and forgot all about spring in the process. For now, I'll just keep creating my backyard oasis, which is precisely what I started to do over the weekend. On Saturday, I hit the market and stocked up on annuals. On Sunday, I spent the better part of the afternoon putting my purchases in the ground. Problem is, I'm a little disappointed.

I made a stupid mistake at the end of last year: I neglected to take a picture of the garden in full bloom on which I could write detailed notes about what everything is. Not that I didn't think of it. I'm just lazy. And did I mention stupid? "Oh, I'll remember where that astilbe is," I told myself. Yeah, right. I don't even remember what an astilbe looks like. So now I'm watching all these little things come up, and thinking "What is that? Is that a weed? Is it something I like? Is it going to take over the whole garden, choking my precious roses and hydrangeas?" I'm stuck in a waiting game, patiently watching the grass—or plants, as the case may be—grow so I know where not to put stuff.

spring came late this year and seemed to be staying in the area late as well. On the first day of the spring temperatures vacillated around freezing with a foot of snow on the ground. But covering up under the snow was the first sign of spring -- a small patch of green bud.

It is warm more and more .Today ,I got up early to watch the sunrise. The sun was jumping out of the horizon. Just a little of light came firstly. But grade by grade the whole cirle started coming into view. The sky was emptiness with a little blue haze. Soon I could feel the warm of the sun when its ray went by way of my windows. it is shining and make us to start to feel and smell like spring. A wonderful view ,a wonderful day. I stood near the windows and considered how I spend my holiday and spring.

Springtime here the flowers are beginning to florescence, wildlife is coming out of hibernation and it’s the perfect time that people explore the outdoors. I can do just that by paying a visit to some nature reserves or traveling along the bank and photographing boats, catching them in the perfect spring light. Maybe I am able to lie in the grass , enjoying the sunshine of springtime.

It is not like the north springs which have come through the brumal chilliness and is hardly along, thus the north spring always laugh very brilliantly, and they usually make widely known, usually brandish winning both hands to stipple sky and mother earth. The wind, the cloud, the rain and vert, all are impregnated new energy, all gain the second life, they make us find everything new and fresh! The north spring's enchanting breath let one be great overjoyed and inspired, let one fell inebriation, let one deeply yearn and make one hart broken. The south springs always soundlessly arrive and soundlessly go. It forever pulls on greenery for the tree both sides of Shennan Road, the sunlight permeates glazing of the bus, basking your forehead, and you would feel that you taste the kiss of the flame from the sky in the north midsummer, it kiss you and you have a head. However, whatever you go, those fresh and tender and flammulated flowerer saweather wavering , and those grassplot under high tree and bushy umbrage disgorging tender bud，will confirmedly tell you that it is just the sun in the spring shining numerous Shenzhen. in Dameisha and Xiaomeisha, the dark green wave is poppling, the sea breeze blows gently, the ocean wave sweep gossoon and lassie's body, without voice, emanating refreshing and soft brilliance.

Do you see? The Phoenix Tree Mountain is ebullition the spring's force, pulling out of the mother earth and going to sky, carrying the white cloud and fluttering.

The Spring of Guangzhou

The great number of writers in history have expressed their personal affection for the approaching of spring. It gets people of cold and deadly winter; it revive people’s life by offering them budding flowers, sprouts of trees and grass. The spring in Guangzhou is somewhat no exception. However, The spring in Guangzhou has its special and unique charm and attraction.
When you first arrive at Guangzhou, especially a person from the north, you may feel at a loss as to Guangzhou’s spring. More often than not, you do have no notion of when spring starts, proceeds and comes to an end. It seems to come into being overnight and come out of sight all of sudden. All these happen out of nowhere and it’s difficult to feel and touch. Because Guangzhou’s spring is so short that a stranger staying here in a few days often cannot notice the approach of the spring. Still, if you are here living a few years, you are sure to find some striking difference of spring between north and south. After the spring festival, the weather in the north is still very cold and uncomfortable while in the south it is another situation, raining all day along, warm and wet. Occasionally the sun comes from behind the cloud, inducing many girls to dress themselves in all kinds of beautiful skirts. Another difference is especially perplexing many outsiders, that is its tress and flowers. I don’t know when, red, yellow, green and colorful leaves fall from tress. When wind blows, they fly here and there in the sky. And naturally the trees become bear. The scene immediately reminds us of the autumn. No it happens in Guangzhou’s spring. One obvious symbol predicting the spring is ceiba here and there, beginning to flower immediately after it bear no leaves. the flowers in the trees, it is unbelievable. The very high ceiba is budded with many beautiful flowers beyond description. Many people may exclaim the spring is coming.Guangzhou is never lacking in all kinds of green. Everywhere, no matter it is winter or spring, is a large patch of grass and green trees. When spring comes, you can experience difference green from that of winter. It is cristlizing green and it is so green that you must be intoxicated about it. Children are seen in the grass to fly their kite, adding to the buzzling city a vision.
The short spring in Guangzhou makes itself even more valuable. For those busy people they may well pause or stop to feel the air of spring.
