The phoenix tree necklace of Nanjing is a kind of romance I can never reach in this lifetime

Standing under the phoenix trees at Meiling Palace, crushing fallen leaves beneath my feet, I suddenly understood what it means when they say "the romance in stories is the sugar reality can’t reach"—the older generation says Soong Mei-ling loved phoenix trees, so Chiang Kai-shek turned Jinling City into her private garden. But in the mundane world, where is the "love that fills a whole city with trees" for you? We even have to save up a long time for the luck to be "truly cherished in someone's heart." This kind of romance is like the moon I can’t reach when I look up, only wrapped in the wind to listen to. Fortunately, Nanjing’s autumn is gentle enough. Even if I haven’t waited for that unique love, stepping on the phoenix leaves at this moment is like stealing a bit of the season’s romance~🍁
