01 Kapok, that gorgeous and unique existence, every time the footsteps of spring gently step into the town of Mianhu, it lights up the land with its brilliant colors. Looking up, the red flowers of the trees are like a blazing torch, reflecting the sky red. This land, because of the existence of kapok, can be endowed with a unique charm. When the flowering season arrives, the kapok tree abandons the company of green leaves and blooms red and bright flowers alone, which is magnificent, like a heroic warrior, fearlessly welcoming the arrival of spring. 
02 Kapok, known as the hero flower, is admired for its beauty and tenacity, like an indomitable warrior. The red and bright flowers are neither kitsch nor pretentious, but full of strength and vitality. The sturdy trunk and the posture of standing up to the sky seem to tell the story of the hero. When the kapok gently falls from the trunk, it spins down in the air, like a dancing spinning top, and finally falls to the ground with a "pop", the petals are still bright as ever, the tenacity and unyielding, like a hero bidding farewell to the world. 
03 After the baptism of spring rain and the illumination of the spring sun, kapok is in full bloom. The five petals are like a delicate wine glass, containing the fragrance of the stamens, and it blooms beautifully in the spring light alone without the embellishment of green leaves. The poems of the ancients, "The kapok reflects the small temple, and the spring dawn is in the sound of the birds", and the song of today's people "The red flowers bloom all over the kapok road, and the long street seems to be burning", all tell the magnificent scene when the kapok is in full bloom. It has been facing the morning sun all its life, full of energy, just like the ideal in the heart of a dreamer that never fades, and the red is hot and bright, which makes people unable to ignore it. 
04 Kapok is not only proud, but also integrated into people's daily life. In Mianhu Town, people often boil kapok water to take its effect of fire and dehumidification. Kapok, honeysuckle, frangipani, chrysanthemum, etc., are turned into five-flower tea, which has become a preferred herbal tea in people's daily life. When the capsule of kapok is ripe, the cotton wool inside will fall down with the wind, white and soft, with small seeds. People will collect these cotton wool to make puppets or pillows, so that the warmth of kapok can penetrate into every corner of life. From flowering to dyeing the vision with red makeup, from soothing people's hearts with taste when landing, to sending warmth to people when cotton wool is produced, Kapok's life is conveying the beauty and hope of life. No matter how its form changes, it teaches us to cherish every moment in front of us. There are flowers in spring, there are moons in autumn, cool breeze in summer, and snow in winter. When the fiery red kapok comes into view, may it bring you a touch of life's surprise and dispel the fatigue of the world. Let's appreciate the beauty of kapok at the same time, but also learn to cherish every moment in life.
