Not long ago, there were all kinds of reports. Your friend Cherry Blossoms had gone live online, and we even published several cherry blossom viewing guides both in China and abroad. But in order to see the blossoms—or that legendary “cherry blossom rain”—people have been pulling all sorts of "daring" stunts. We just have to ask: is this really okay?
According to a March 20, 2016, Weibo post by People’s Daily: Location—Nanjing. To create cherry blossom photos, people kicked cherry blossom trees and climbed them to take pictures…
And it’s not an isolated incident. At Huazhong Agricultural University, peach trees were actually broken off. Could this be in response to the saying, “If flowers are blooming, pick them now; don’t wait till there are no blossoms and only empty branches to break”?
Okay, here's how your friends Cherry Blossoms and Peach Blossoms should normally look when they’re online!
Beautiful, right? They deserve your care and protection.
