At Guiyuan, I Captured My Soul-Awakening Photo

"Some moments, when the shutter clicks, it's an entire soul's enlightenment." In that instant when I pressed the shutter, A chess piece falls —Rippling water carrying white mist like snow on Cangshan Mountain, The swaying tail of koi fish creating light and shadow, The profile of the gentleman holding his chess piece, All blended by twilight into a pool of pine shadows. I used to think "life-defining photos" required arduous journeys, Now I understand: the wonder of Guiyuan Is how time willingly collapses into a single dewdrop on the eaves. At breakfast in the morning, The housekeeper said, "Rice noodles must be bought from the market at dawn to be perfectly chewy, with the soul of Dali"; In the afternoon, lounging by the fish pond, Basking in Dali's 4 o'clock sun, Watching Sister Afeng water flowers in the courtyard, Tree branches touching her clothes like an invisible homecoming medal, This is truly the rural life suited for Chinese people.
