The wind is blowing, Luoyang

Next Chapter

Ten years later, in April 2014, Luoyang!

Qingming has passed, spring March is coming, for the thousand-year-old capital of Luoyang, once again ushered in the season of peony flowers! Whenever this moment, the whole Luoyang blooms a lot of flowers everywhere, all kinds of peonies are purple and red, it can really be said: only the peony is true to the national color, and the flowers move the capital when they bloom! Many people who have listened to "Luoyang Peony is the best in the world" since childhood will come to Luoyang from thousands of miles away, linger in the thousands of flowers, and enjoy the prosperity of the world!

At this time, Ma Xiaoliang was fiddling with the camera, looking for a suitable shooting frame. Since returning to Guanzhou after graduating from Shunde College in 2007, Ma Xiaoliang has become the editor of a website in Guanzhou, and later became a photography editor with his own photographic works. Because Luoyang is a famous cultural ancient city in Jiangnan Province, with a large number of tourist attractions, coupled with the annual Luoyang Peony Painting Exhibition, so every time the Luoyang Peony Flower Exhibition is held, he will come to Luoyang with a task to find a suitable shooting picture to contribute, but this seems to be a mechanical task for Ma Xiaoliang, although the photos he takes every year are satisfactory to everyone, to satisfy the website and even to satisfy the readers, but there always seems to be something missing, as for what is missing? Even Ma Xiaoliang himself couldn't say clearly.

The sun is shining outside, and Ma Xiaoliang, who is wandering in the Sui and Tang Dynasty Botanical Gardens, looks at the famous Kyushu Lianqu, that is, a circle of lakes surrounding a small island, in fact, this is not a small island, but there are nine small bridges that converge here, and people can turn to either side from here. The reason why it is Kyushu Lianqu is probably because there were Kyushu in ancient times, and Luoyang had Jiuding (when the Western Zhou Dynasty was established, the Duke of Zhou ordered people to place the Jiuding symbolizing royal power outside the Luoyang Ming Hall), so this Kyushu Lianqu was cleverly designed.

Although it has been almost 7 years since graduation, Ma Xiaoliang at this time has just ended a relationship, and after graduation, he met a girl from his hometown through the introduction of his high school classmates, and finally chose to break up for various reasons. Today's Ma Xiaoliang is obsessed with photography and can't extricate himself, he fiddles with his camera to shoot landscapes everywhere when he has nothing to do, but rarely takes pictures, and generally calls himself an "outdoor photographer" to the outside world. The reason why he is called an outdoor photographer means that he will not shoot indoors, as for people, he will not shoot indoors and outdoors, only those who have known him for a long time know that Ma Xiaoliang once photographed people in his freshman year, and he posted it on his blog at the beginning, but before the end of his freshman year, Ma Xiaoliang suddenly deleted all the blog content, and decisively quit the Shunde College radio station in his sophomore year, and he never fiddled with the camera until he graduated. Now that he has been on the website for a long time, everyone knows about the entire website, so Ma Xiaoliang is often sent to shoot scenic spots, such as the Peony Festival, which only needs to shoot at flowers and not at people, Ma Xiaoliang is none other than Ma Xiaoliang. If you need to shoot people, the website also has a large number of photographers and photography enthusiasts to post, and there is no shortage of good photos.

At noon, it was the best time for the sun, Ma Xiaoliang stood on the small island in the middle of the lake in Kyushu, trying to take some peonies on the shallow lake near the island. The lake is full of boaters, many of whom are young girls dressed in Hanfu. I have to say that compared with the previous people who liked ultra-short suspenders, today's Hanfu is more pleasing to the eye and looks particularly elegant, plus this is a thousand-year-old capital, with profound cultural heritage, and many pavilions and pavilions are ancient Han and Tang Dynasty styles, which naturally seem extraordinarily connotative. Although there are many women wearing Hanfu around, Ma Xiaoliang is too lazy to take a picture, after all, he has been a self-proclaimed outdoor photographer for many years, and he has almost forgotten what it feels like to shoot people.

Facing the ruins of Yingtianmen in the Sui and Tang Dynasties not far away, Ma Xiaoliang thought that maybe many, many years ago, there were pavilions and pavilions here, and there were flowers everywhere, but now they have disappeared, and only these peony flowers are still blooming year after year, which reminds him of the scene many years ago, which is also a peony flower, but there is no longer that kind of concentration and excitement when shooting.

In every place, there have been some unforgettable people and things, this is Luoyang, not Shunde. Suddenly, a small boat appeared in front of her, and a slightly lazy Hanfu woman sat in the bow of the boat, bored looking at the lotus flowers around her, and talking to the people around her. When she looked up, Ma Xiaoliang, who was holding a camera, instantly sobered up, and at this time, there was a sense of déjà vu in the woman's eyes, or as if she had known each other for a long time. At this time, Ma Xiaoliang remembered a movie line in his heart: "On the road, I saw a person who looked like you, but I knew it wasn't you, but I watched it for a long time." "The ghost picked up his camera and took five or six pictures in a row. Seeing that someone was filming herself, the woman raised her head lightly, and saw Ma Xiaoliang who was holding the camera, and instantly there was no longer the lazy look in her eyes, and even turned her face sideways, just like that, the boat rowed farther and farther, Ma Xiaoliang kept staring at the woman on the boat until she couldn't see it anymore. At this moment, Ma Xiaoliang sighed in his heart: I believe it today, there are really such similar people in this world, but this is Luoyang, not Shunde City, nor Jiangbei Province. Suddenly I felt a little cold, and the wind was blowing, Luoyang.
