"Do you like kapok?"
"Kapok? I've only seen it on TV and in books, but never seen real kapok."
"No way? That's the city flower of Guangzhou. It's all over the streets during the flowering season. How come you haven't seen it before?"
"I'm not from Guangzhou. Isn't kapok beautiful?"
"That's for sure. Not only is it beautiful, it's also very special."
"Very special?"
"Yes, you will understand next year when the flowers bloom."
