The eldest brother of the peach blossom is named Liu Minhua, a villager from Guojiaba Town, Zigui County, Hubei Province, and an ordinary immigrant who must be relocated from the Three Gorges Reservoir area. One day in the early spring of March 2012, Liu Minhua was busy moving to say goodbye to his hometown, where he was born and raised. He reluctantly looked around again and again, the "home" had indeed moved empty, and everything that could be moved had moved away except for the ancestral house that was old but still carried the temperature of his family. In the end, Liu Minhua stared at the peach tree at the door, which was full of buds and had already bloomed a lot. Finally, he made up his mind to move the peach tree. He carefully dug the whole peach tree out of the soil and put it in the back basket for it to go with him to his new home. Now that the peach tree had been put into the back ring, he took a few steps and sat down by the wall outside the house, once again to say his last reluctant farewell to his ancestral house.

Lao Xu's study "Lin Li Feng Photography "Peach Tree on the Back"" color pencil painting Liu Minhua walked on his back is not just a peach blossom tree?He carried away the whole hometown of his heart. This ** made me unable to calm down for a long time, and my mood was a little calmer after drawing this picture stroke by stroke.
