From Chinese idioms in literature, inspiring and turning to be a beautiful illutration.

“Thousands of blossoms surrounded, the only petal I’ve been waiting for is you.” is an image inspired by Chinese idioms in literature, “Thousands of blossoms surrounded, unable to contaminate even a single petal”, however, they have different meanings

“Thousands of blossoms surrounded, unable to contaminate even a single petal” has the meaning of “One handsome man has a thousand female admirers but he doesn’t love any.” that conveys the determination of men who unshakens by temptation.

But I think a bit different.

In my POV…we, humans, are such a sole soul. We yern to have someone getting close to our side. We dream for a true love that calm our mind and never hurt our feeling as a warm and bright home of our spirits. So, most of us just acted randomly catching other people that visited in our life and randomly guessed that this might be the person. Some wins, some losses.

BTW, there are some people doing differently. They looked and waited for “the person” without distraction. They waited for the sole person that destined to them, even if they might not meet the person in this life-time, they still didn’t bother with other person who wasn’t.

I was charmed by this thought. It’s such a charming and purposeful. Me too, if I was able to meet my only half-lost soul of mine in this life-time, I also will wait without distraction and hesitation.

Suddenly, I want to reward this person in my imagination. So, I created this illustration with these feeling and thought of me.
