"The Last Flower Picking" is perhaps the weakest story in The Tale of Genji. It is precisely because of this that I had the urge to write about her. What kind of love story should a noble lady with a noble status and ugly appearance have? Maybe, I shouldn't use the word "love". What she experienced was just a relationship, but not love. The entanglement between Mo Zhihua and Mr. Genji was destined to be a tragedy from the beginning, and there was no way to save it. I believed this so much that I set the story on a more melancholy tone than the original. The last sentence of Chapter 6 of "The Tale of Genji" - "It is unknown how this girl will end up." Since it is unknown, it shouldn't be too much to let her die in sadness. After all, death can sometimes be a compassionate relief. The months mentioned in the article are based on the Japanese calendar - the Mao month is April, the long month is September, and the frost month is November. As for "last picking flowers", it comes from the same pronunciation of "flower" and "nose" in Japanese (hana). Mr. Genji used "the flower picked at the end" to allude to the red nose, which also meant irony and disgust. No wonder the lady was sad.
