This book made me feel the beauty of nature and humanity. The author shows the magic and beauty of nature through the description of Minjiang cypress and other plants. The characters in the book have different personalities, but they are all full of the power of life. Their experiences made me understand that no matter what difficulties we encounter in life, we must be as perseverant as Minjiang Bai. This is a book full of warmth and philosophy, worth reading.
It was a bit boring at first, but it gradually became fascinating.
