So she said with these two words: Chunhua and I have the same fate. Why are you laughing at me? If you put a drink on your head while the flowers are still in full bloom, * * * will enjoy a temporary pleasure. Look at it this way. It's already very sad, but the word has a deeper meaning: people are late spring people, flowers are late spring flowers, and countries are late spring countries. People are dying, flowers are dying and countries are dying. How can this not be called helplessness!
