Can you imagine when spring comes
There is such a woman who never gets married because of taking care of her old and sick mother, and stays in a mountain village that has no one to care for her. She makes a living by raising bees day after day and year after year. The loneliness, poverty, silence and even the mountain village life that is extremely boring and uninteresting to outsiders, what is it for?
She also fantasized about having a family and her own children. Of course, if she could, she could treat her mother as a child, hold her in her arms, and take her away from this no-man’s land with no electricity and convenient transportation. Looking for a possible good life
She didn't leave, why did she leave, what was the reason for not leaving in the first place, when her mother talked about this topic in her daily words, she didn't have no choice, she could get married or move out, these are no longer important
The current situation is that due to being left behind and poor, coupled with her mother’s inconvenience in her legs and feet, her old age and frailty, and the need for personal care, she can only live in the status quo and rely on beekeeping for a living, but even so desolate and poor did not make her greedy. Ignorance, losing the healthy personality she originally retained, she still adheres to the ancient traditional honey harvesting method of "take half, keep half". She is neither greedy nor overstepping the boundaries, and she abides by the unwritten contract between the bees.
She is kind-hearted, has a natural sense of trust in people, is close, and has a beautiful imagination. For the nomadic neighbors who suddenly broke in, she can play together, share food, gifts from nature, teach beekeeping techniques, and abide by the relationship between man and nature. beautiful balance
To say that she did not pursue a better life, nor is she, she will rely on the euros she gets from selling honey in the market, buy hair dyes that suit her hair color for the sake of beauty, and remember to buy a fan for her old mother to repel mosquitoes. Although entertainment is simple and extremely simple, the daily life of chopping wood, carrying water, cooking, feeding and chatting with old mothers, raising a group of cats and dogs as company, and singing and dancing with neighbors around bonfires and dining tables when the weather is good is about the purest The music of the human voice and the natural and unrestrained body movements, without musical instruments or equipment, can also be enjoyed by oneself, completely self-created. The only thing that is more difficult is that the antenna of the radio cannot scan for a continuous good signal no matter how high it is.
That year, due to the excessive honey collection of the nomadic neighbors, the low production of honey and even the death and dissipation of the bee colonies, the neighbors finally evacuated due to the disappointment of their livelihood. The winter came as scheduled, and her old mother suddenly left in the cold winter. Go, everything seems so ruthless, sitting on the dark bedside of the old mother's fallen bed, the heart-piercing pain turns into the silent winter silence outside the window, the twilight snow outside the window, is it desolate or painful? , I remember that in a small talk one day, she once talked to her old mother: Can you imagine when spring comes?
This casual question seems to be an unknown question about the beautiful vision of the future life. Spring will always come, but whose spring is it, and what kind of winter will it take to get the next spring?
The cold winter is still, life is still going on, there is no hatred for the ruthless treatment of life, and the sustenance that I left behind has been buried in the corner of the snowy hillside in this cold winter. One cat and one dog
Can you imagine the arrival of spring
