The Blooming Begonias and Fragrant Cherry Blossom –
In Memory of Premier Zhou’s 127th Birthday
As the gentle spring breeze sweeps across the land, the begonias bloom in full splendor. Their delicate petals, bathed in soft sunlight, sway with the wind, exuding a fragrance that lingers like a cherished memory.
Today, as we commemorate the 127th birthday of Premier Zhou Enlai, the sight of these blossoms reminds us of his noble spirit—graceful yet unwavering, humble yet resolute.
Long ago, in his youth, he planted a cherryblossom tree, its roots embracing the earth, its branches reaching for the sky. Now, after more than a century, it has grown into a majestic ancient tree, standing tall against the test of time. Its golden flowers bloom in defiance of the winter cold, radiating an enduring beauty.
Much like the great man himself, who withstood storms and trials, this tree stands as a testament to his unyielding perseverance, his devotion to the people, and his lifelong pursuit of peace and prosperity.
Today, China stands strong and prosperous, a beacon of stability and development in the world. The ideals that Premier Zhou championed—peace, harmony, and mutual progress—have taken root and flourished, shaping a new era of global cooperation.
His dream was never lost to time; instead, it has been carried forward by countless hearts, transformed into an unstoppable force that continues to inspire generations.
Yet, the most profound remembrance is not merely found in written records or grand tributes, but in the silent vow carried in the hearts of the people. His spirit is a guiding light, illuminating the path of those who dedicate themselves to his cause.
Like a shining beacon, his wisdom and vision continue to inspire, urging humanity toward a world of lasting peace.
The begonias bloom as they always have, and the cherry tree stands firm against the cold.
Today, as we honor his memory, we do not simply look back with admiration—we move forward with determination.
In this new era, we pledge to uphold his mission, ensuring that his vision of peace and unity continues to shine across the world, just as the golden blossoms in the heart of winter.
