A Springtime Journey

I was born on December 26, the coldest day of winter, with three months to go until the next spring.

Spring is divided into early spring, mid-spring, and late spring.

My father's surname is Meng, so he named me Meng Zhong.

I'm turning thirty this year, and I've accomplished nothing.

I wait for the next spring to flourish inside me.
