There are many varieties of cherry blossoms, with more than 300 varieties. But these more than 300 species are derived from the 40 oldest wild ancestors, including 33 species in China.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the big families in Chang'an City were very popular to plant cherry blossoms in the courtyard for ornamentation, and in the Tang Dynasty, from the palace corridor to the private house field, you can see the gorgeous cherry blossoms everywhere. When all countries came to the court, the Japanese envoys were deeply impressed by the splendid prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and when they left, they took two cherry blossoms to Dongying. I took it with me, along with the kendo and the tea ceremony.

Today, cherry blossoms are the national flower of Japan and one of the symbols of Japanese culture, and the name "Sakura" in many languages around the world is the transliteration of the Japanese "さくら" (Sakura).

Huang Chengjun used to like Japanese cherry blossoms very much, even if it is not unusual for the cherry blossoms in his hometown to be all over the mountains, but he always feels that the Japanese cherry blossoms are the real 'Sakura', and the cherry blossoms in his hometown are the same as acacia and pear blossoms.

Huang Chengjun is 29 years old and has been in Japan for seven years. In 2001, Huang Chengjun still lost his name in the college entrance examination after repeating for the third time, and he was disheartened and packed his luggage to prepare to work in Guangdong.

Huang Chengjun comes from the province of southwest China, where 'the sky is sunny, the land is flat, and the people are not three cents of silver', and his city is a merger of three county seats, each named 'Wupanshan'.

Huang Chengjun went to the provincial capital to take the train down to Guangdong, but unexpectedly met his childhood friend who was attending cram school there. So, Huang Chengjun turned around and went home, and then took the 65,000 yuan borrowed by his father and mother to go to that cram school.

There are a lot of cram schools, and the tuition fee for half a year is 65,000, and there is only one course - Japanese. In 2002, Huang Chengjun, who graduated from cram school, came to Yokohama, Japan in the name of studying abroad, and began to work part-time at Yokohama City University. Of the 65,000 tuition, 60,000 are the intermediary fees charged by study abroad agencies. This is seven years.

Huang Chengjun used to like football very much, and he was a full-back in the school team in elementary and junior high school. I didn't play much after I went to high school, and I didn't touch the ball much after I came to Japan, but I still liked it.

In the past, Huang Chengjun's idol was Li Bing, a former Chinese international, because he was the pride of his hometown football. Later, the idol became Zhuo Yang. This is not surprising, Zhuo Yang is a national idol.

Huang Chengjun watched Zhuo Yang's games twice on the spot, both in this stadium. One was in December 07, when AC Milan defeated Boca Juniors 4-2 in the Club World Cup final, and Zhuo Yang became the MVP of the tournament with two shots and one pass. Another time, today, in the fifth round of Group A of the 2010 World Cup Asian Top 10 Tournament, the Chinese team 2:3 Japan.

The Chinese team lost, Zhuo Yang lost, and Huang Chengjun was sad.

Huang Chengjun originally thought that he would not be sad, because a few years ago he was horrified to find out that he hoped that China would be inferior to Japan in all aspects. If a certain domestic industry surpasses Japan, he is very pantothenic in his heart, because this will swallow up Huang Chengjun's superiority little by little. In the past seven years, Huang Chengjun has only returned to his hometown once, just last year.

He had already repaid the money he had borrowed seven years ago through his part-time job, and he was also the pride of his parents, and his middle school classmates often drank and boasted about him because he was in Japan. Huang Chengjun is very happy about this, he wants them to envy him, and he wants to always prove that coming to Japan is the right choice.

But last year's 'return to his hometown' made Huang Chengjun a little flustered, because his hometown became almost unrecognizable. Although it is still far from being compared with Yokohama, Huang Chengjun deliberately ignored the shock in his heart when he passed through Shanghai.

His classmates don't seem to be much worse than themselves, they haven't been rich and wealthy over the years, but they have all lived well, bought a house, got married, and many classmates have private cars, Huang Chengjun suddenly found that his sense of superiority was a little vain.

The time in Yokohama is bitter, and I know how many jobs I have changed in seven years, but I can't count them. Huang Chengjun began to hate China because China's development embarrassed him and made his sense of superiority come to naught. As a result, he is always happy when the newspapers report negative news about China.

When the Chinese team lost, he originally thought that he would not be sad, but when Huang Chengjun saw the sadness that Zhuo Yang was enduring strongly, he knew that he was wrong.

Huang Chengjun is a person who likes to observe details, he always pays attention to the actors' expressions and acting skills when watching movies, and he also likes to read books that describe his heart and emotions.

Huang Chengjun saw the sadness of Zhuo Yang's strong smile, saw Zhuo Yang equalize twice throughout the game, saw the Chinese team being killed because of the low-level mistake of the young goalkeeper Wang Dalei at the last moment, and also saw that Zhuo Yang did not blame anyone, he pulled his teammates up from the ground one by one, and saw Zhuo Yang holding Wang Dalei in his arms to comfort him.

Huang Chengjun is very aware of the grievances between China and Japan, the Chinese do not want to forget history, and the Japanese do not understand why the Chinese always have to look at the past. History textbooks in Japanese middle schools are 12 pages long about World War II, but less than one page is about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (known in Japan as the Sino-Japanese War).

Therefore, the Japanese believed that they were also victims of World War II, and that their conquest in Asia was to help the Asian people drive away the colonization of the Western powers, and the Asian people, including China, welcomed it. Even if there is some small damage in the war, it is the work of our grandparents, what does it have to do with us?

Huang Chengjun is a person who understands football, and he knows that the Chinese team does not want to lose to Japan if it loses to anyone. However, the Japanese team is too far ahead of the Chinese team in terms of technology and tactical awareness, and its strength is not at the same level.

Huang Chengjun has been here for seven years, and he knows that the Japanese have a complicated mentality towards Zhuo Yang. They adore him, but they also wish he failed. The Japanese can pronounce the sound of 'zhuó', and there is also the word 'zhuo' in Japanese, pronounced 'taku', but the Japanese only call Zhuo Yang's English name 'John'.

This is Zhuo Yang's first defeat after returning to the Chinese national team, and it is a loss to Japan, which he doesn't want to lose, how can he not be sad. At this moment, Huang Chengjun suddenly understood Zhuo Yang, and he understood why Zhuo Yang chose to return without hesitation.

Zhuo Yang is also a dragon and phoenix among people in Europe, why should he return to China to bear the hardships? I'm just a single dog in Yokohama who rents a cramped apartment and sells every day, but I take pleasure in ridiculing China and compensate for my imbalance by slandering my motherland.

Huang Chengjun saw Zhuo Yang come to the stands of Chinese students where he was, and said sorry to everyone with a bitter smile, many girls next to him cried, and they said with tears: Zhuo Yang, you are the best, you are the best.

Zhuo Yang came to Huang Chengjun, held his outstretched hand and said: Thank you, I'm sorry.

Huang Chengjun's tears could no longer be controlled, he tightly held Zhuo Yang's hand and shouted heartbreakingly: "Come on, China——! ”

Two days later, Huang Chengjun packed his bags and returned to his hometown, where his soul could be placed.
