In the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city, Zhongshan Park in Shenzhen is like a sea of green tranquility, slowly diluting our hurried pace. When you walk into the park, you don’t see the reflection of the tall buildings, but instead you hear the breath of the trees. In the early morning, the dew trembles slightly between the veins of the leaves, the day rises high, and the crown of the tree sprinkles the shoulders of pedestrians like gold dust falling from the sky. The trees here have traces of history, and at the same time possess a new-born beat;in different postures, they speak of the same truth: life is here, never absent.
I love walking under the shadows of trees, allowing every step to become a point of conversation with the city. The lines of the trunk are like the annals of nature; every crack is the annotation written down by time. The trembling of the leaves was like the heartbeat of the city, sometimes rapid, sometimes slow. The breeze blows, the canopy unfolds a green stage play, and the sunlight penetrates the foliage and casts dappled spots of light, reminding me to leave a quiet corner for myself in between the hustle and bustle.
These trees aren’t just green ornaments, they’re the city’s memory bank. Every tree grows through wind, frost, rain and dew, and it is these experiences that make them witnesses and guardians of the city. As the seasons change, the trees respond with different postures: new shoots are like the hope on the first page, tender green colors are as fresh in the air as the sea breeze;
Wandering the park promenade, one hears not only the laughter of children, the talk of old people, the breath of runners, but also the soft enveloping of these sounds by the trees. In their own way, the trees speak to the belief in “life is eternal;” no matter how the city changes, green extensions always provide shelter and courage. As night falls, the lights reflect on the veins of the leaves, like starlight falling on the trunk of a tree, and people are still looking for that stability and hope under the tree.
Life force, often magnified in the closest to nature. The trees in Zhongshan Park have been reminding us with their low-key posture: as long as we listen carefully, the noise of the city will be softened by the greenery. Next time you’re here, don’t rush to chase time, try to slow down and stare at every movement among the lush foliage. Because, the trees in Shenzhen, always full of life, always attract me, and will attract everyone who is willing to slow down and feel life with their hearts.
