That year, the season of red flamboyant flowers

As summer arrives, the scorching sun makes the wheels of the carts spin even faster, and the sweltering heat makes the sweat even "busier" with their work. Yet, the oppressive heat seems to vanish when we encounter the vibrant red blossoms of the flamboyant tree or the purple blossoms of the crape myrtle, painting a corner of the sky.

After the hustle and bustle of life, people long to return to the innocent friendships of their school days, to find refuge in the carefree days of the schoolyard ablaze with red flamboyant flowers and the cheerful chirping of cicadas filling the summer afternoons.

On that farewell day, we exchanged hastily pressed phoenix flower petals and crape myrtle petals from our notebooks, as a way of forever remembering those vibrant, youthful years, as bright as the red of the phoenix flower and as dreamy as the purple of the crape myrtle.

There are memories that seem to have faded away silently with the passage of time, yet just by touching upon a past moment, countless fond memories return as if it were yesterday.
