I Love Autumn
10.12
Finally, autumn has arrived in Shanghai. And my favorite flower in Autumn, osmanthus, has been blooming.
I can smell it when I open my window in the morning, and when I walk on the road.
I love the sweet and joyful fragrance of osmanthus—so much so that I often buy perfumes claiming its wonderful fragrance. But to my disappointment, they weren’t, though I really thought they were at first.
Anyway, I really enjoy autumn days.
Difficulties

Things have changed in my industry.
I’ve been working in China’s domestic e-commerce industry for over 16 years. Recently, I have gone through some difficulties in this industry and our team has argued a lot over the future.
But I think there are pros and cons to this situation.
It’s time for me to practice, maybe I can talk about it in detail tomorrow.
Something Fun

I’m a little tired now, so want to talk about something easy.
I went hiking around West Lake last Saturday, which was a famous beautiful lake in China.
Many hills and tea plantations surrounded the lake, but the one that caught my eye was a small village known for its osmanthus trees.
You can see the scenery along the trail in this video.
I highly recommend this hiking trail if you are in eastern China right now. The fragrance under osmanthus trees in tea plantations is delectable.

- “I went on a hike” or “I went hiking” or “I hiked”
- “Stunning” is more appropriate for something visually striking.
Badminton

I signed up for a badminton game, which will be held tonight.
I’m a little excited and anxious because I haven’t played badminton for nearly three years.
I began playing this game regularly after learning that it benefits my neck health. And indeed, it helped me a lot.
