The Beginning of Spring, or Lichun marks the first of the 24 solar terms in the Chinese calendar, heralding the arrival of spring. With nature awakening, life brims with imagination from this day forward.
Though traces of desolation linger, vitality is eager to burst forth.
No longer kept hidden, enthusiasm can hardly wait to be unleashed.
Everything is renewed in the shift from cold to warmth, from loss to renewal, and from the past to the future.
Yet, the chill is reluctant to depart so hastily. While the days grow milder, the mornings and evenings still carry a sharp bite.
Even so, the earth will thaw into spring sooner or later because nothing can resist the call of life and the pursuit for passion.
Time, though silent, is never still.
Hope and light, warmth and growth, enthusiasm and brightness—each accompanies and awakens the other. The bitter winds are swept away by the spring breeze.
Nature whispers softly, brushing away the dust over time as it waits for the future in every mountain, river, blade of grass, and tree.
Though the hardships of the past may have seemed endless and difficult, they will eventually be healed by the spring sunlight.
The love of life and life's love are the beginning of heaven and earth, and the foundation of eternity.
From the Beginning of Spring, passion will become routine, and life will stretch into the future.
