Flowers and Birds on my Windowsill Garden

Finally, I had another video about birds on my windowsill garden.

It’s difficult to capture the birds because they’re too smart.

Often, when I set my camera towards the spot where they eat grass in my windowsill garden, they wouldn’t appear for the whole day. It looked like they not only could notice my camera but also could communicate with each other.

It’s just like the name of a TV series, “All Creatures Great and Small”.

If there are any mistakes in the video, please let me know.

Thanks in advance!

Fears

Do you still have fears after growing up?

I have many.

One of them is speaking English.

Some of you might have watched some of the videos I posted on YouTube. I originally wanted to dub them in English but didn’t dare to.

I don’t know why I’m scared. Maybe it’s because when I was a kid, I had to try my best to achieve good scores in school.

But now, I don’t think I have a good score in English speaking.

Li Ziqi is Back

If you like the Chinese traditional lifestyle, you might know this influencer, Li Ziqi.

I followed her on Weibo about eight years ago. I initially followed her not just because of the beautiful videos she made but also because she looked a little like one of my cousins.

That cousin of mine is only 12 days younger than me. We were pretty much best friends when we were kids. We entered school in the same year. Inevitably, our parents always compared our grades. Then I became the unwelcomed cousin because I always had better grades and her mother, my elder aunt would blame her for that. And then we drifted apart little by little.

Probably deep down, I hope my cousin has a strong heart and a colorful life, just like Li Ziqi.

A Place Renowned for its Ginkgo Trees

I went to a scenic area on Saturday.

It’s renowned for its ginkgo trees, which have a long history. The oldest one was planted over 1500 years ago, even earlier than the famous Tang Dynasty by 100 years. You can find it at the beginning of this video.

It was the third time I’ve been there.

The first time I visited there was with two friends’ families many years ago. At that time, we went there specifically to drink the fresh tea in the spring.

My second visit was a year ago. It was just at the end of a hiking trail.

This time, I went with a friend to see the ginkgo trees with their yellow leaves.
