be reluctant to leave

Some people are nostalgic for getting drunk, some people are nostalgic for talking in Kan Kan, some people are nostalgic for giving silently, and I am nostalgic for the intoxicating autumn colors.

In the late autumn season, the mountains are stained with colorful autumn frost. Those impatient leaves, which can't stand the harsh autumn frost, fade their green early, and put their sad faces into the winter dream of the earth. Ginkgo biloba leaves are not arrogant and impetuous, but only love golden yellow. They wantonly render the noble and unrestrained life, scatter arachis duranensis, complain about love for a lifetime, and quietly throw themselves into the earth with the wind, leaving the most magnificent declaration in the world.

I heard that there is a large Millennium Ginkgo Kingdom in Xiasi Village, Baihe Town, Song County, Henan Province. Ginkgo biloba is known as the "living fossil" of plants on the earth, and I really want to have a thousand-year invitation with her to end the chaos in my heart. When the weekend is coming, I will go out with the traveler to the hometown of Ginkgo biloba, and throw myself into her warm arms to see her beauty. The bus went back and forth between the mountains and rivers in Qian Shan, and after a thousand turns, she was found lying leisurely in the mountains.

Strolling through the ginkgo forest, the golden ginkgo leaves lying quietly under the feet are trampled by tourists, even turning into powder without changing the golden color. Looking up, the golden leaves on the tree are embedded in the blue sky, and the gentle sunshine of the sun touches the leaves, rendering the most beautiful picture of light and shadow in my heart. Looking at the golden leaves on the slope, in the grass, on the dead branches, on the top of the tile, on the stone mill at the entrance to the village, the whole village is dressed in golden witch. During the pacing, I saw that there were gold leaves falling from the sky and falling on the hair, clothes and backpacks of tourists, as if everyone had suddenly become a billionaire wearing gold and silver; There is a smile on everyone's face; Everyone's eyes are full of enthusiasm and yearning, and mobile phones, cameras and brains record the pleasure brought by the grand scene to people's hearts; The sisters of Yangko keep changing costumes and props, and it seems that they want to have a golden wedding photo with the Millennium Ginkgo biloba.

I stroked a 2300-year-old ginkgo tree, its bark was chapped and hard as iron, and there were dead branches in the upper part of the tree, recording the historical Cang Sang; The living is still flourishing, with new branches growing alive on the trunk, and yellow leaves on the new branches are showing off the tenacity of life. It is said that this ginkgo community with a thousand years of history is a relic of Yunyan Temple in Funiu Mountain in Tang Dynasty. There are 413 trees over 1,000 years old, ranking the highest in kiness in the world. I picked up a leaf and read its heavy history. These ginkgo trees were not confined to the walls of the temple, did not obey the Zen bells, and grew up freely in the mountains, water, forests and birds. They did not serve as street trees for people to pay attention to every day, and did not serve as landscape trees in gardens supported by iron frames. At the last moment of its life, Ginkgo biloba never forgot to leave the brightest smile of life to the world. Because of the history of Ginkgo biloba forest and the spectacular ginkgo biloba leaves, the world came here for a long trip, so as to bring tourism income to repay the people in Xiasi Village who guarded them.

Walking, I met an old man in his seventies, leaning on a staff with one hand and weighing an iron bucket with the other hand. The garbage thrown by tourists was placed in the iron bucket. The old man said that he lived here since he was a child, and he could not see anyone destroying the ginkgo tree, saying that it was the wealth left by the ancestors to future generations; It's hard to see people destroying the environment. You put the beautiful scenery in your mobile phone and took it away, but left the garbage behind. Wouldn't it be a shame for others to come? I didn't see the logo of the staff on the sleeve or chest of the old man when I looked carefully. I guess he is a tree keeper who is dedicated silently. My heart is full of respect for the old man.

An old tree, an old man, interprets the harmonious coexistence between man and tree; A ginkgo forest, one is native, the other is soil and water. After thousands of years of history, I seem to have heard the children's song "beginning of life, nature is good, sex is similar, and learning is far away"; I seem to hear the proverbs of philosophers who live for good and die for good. At the last moment of its life, Ginkgo biloba presents the noblest gold to the world, without frustration or sorrow, and is willing to make wedding clothes; When it comes to the old man, the veteran is too old to wait for food and drink or idle away, and goes out to pick up garbage. What they have in common is to be good. For thousands of years, history and culture are engraved in our bones like genes. If you can't be a philanthropist, you should be a person born for good. People will grow old. Be a person who is beneficial to others, the public and the ecological environment. Only when it ends, it will be unusually peaceful and calm, just like a golden ginkgo leaf devoted to the earth, which has been engraved in people's memory for a long time.

I miss autumn, and colorful leaves present the most magnificent page of my life before the cold winter. Gold-like Ginkgo biloba leaves people with a broad mind: to be good! I'm nostalgic for being a silent devotee.
