When I was a kid, I loved winter
I looked forward to a big snowfall
Rolling around in the snow, throwing snowballs, and having snowball fights
But when I was growing up
It was very rare to see thick snow
The memories of winter
have faded
For southerners
There is always a feeling of love and affection for snow.
I guess the more rare it is, the more precious it is
The good thing is that Guizhou is a mountainous province
Some of the high-altitude areas
can still see snow every year
