"Snow Roses": Young People's Wintertime Expression of Love
The way Chinese people express love is always romantic and implicit. Recently, many places have witnessed snowfall, and "the first snow rose of winter" has gone viral on the Internet, becoming one of the most romantic topics this winter. Young people made "roses" out of snow, blending the purity of winter with the charm of roses, creating a unique and romantic atmosphere. Doesn't it sound interesting? This article will share this trend with you!
The first snow rose玫瑰(méi gui) of winter is not a naturally grown object but is meticulously crafted by young people with their own hands in the thick snow. When snowflakes are falling thickly and gently, and the earth is covered in a silver mantle, some people display their creativity. They pick up handfuls of snow with their hands and, through elaborate carving and shaping, the originally loose snow gradually takes on the form of a rose. Piece by piece, the "petals" gradually take shape under their skillful hands, eventually coming together to form a lifelike snow rose! It is not just a flower carved from snow but also a token of love carrying deep affection.
玫瑰 (méi gui), noun, rose
Examples:
- The rose is a symbol of love.
玫瑰是爱情的象征。
méi gui shì ài qíng de xiàng zhēng。 - She received a bunch of roses on her birthday.
她在生日那天收到了一束玫瑰。
tā zài shēng rì nà tiān shōu dào le yī shù méi gui。
The process of making a snow rose is not all smooth sailing. But it is precisely these difficulties and challenges that fill the entire process with fun. Firstly, one needs to choose the right kind of snow. Snow that is too dry or too wet is not conducive to shaping. Only snow with moderate humidity can better maintain the shape of the rose. Secondly, during the shaping process, one needs to have sufficient patience and skills. A moment of carelessness may result in broken petals or the collapse of the overall shape.
However, when seeing the snow rose crafted by one's own hands gradually taking shape, that sense of achievement and satisfaction is beyond description. Many young people have been sharing their experiences and insights in making snow roses on social platforms and also exchanging crafting techniques with each other, forming a unique winter atmosphere.
For young people, snow roses are not just simple handicrafts; they are even more a sustenance and expression of emotions. In this fast-paced modern society, people are often busy with work and studies, neglecting the romance浪漫(làng màn) and beauty in life. The emergence of snow roses provides an opportunity for people to express love and convey warmth to their beloved ones in a special way during the cold winter.
浪漫 (làng màn), noun, romance
Examples:
- Their love story is full of romance.

tā men de ài qíng gù shì chōng mǎn le làng màn 。 - She dreams of a romance like in the movies.

Some people say, "No matter how cold the outside world is, as long as there is love in the heart, the 'snow rose' can bloom with the warmest light." Winter is cold, but the emotions between people are not. Although a snow rose is simple, it is a small surprise that decorates our daily lives! So, don't hesitate to give the first "snow rose" of this winter to your dearest ones, your family, your lover, your friends! Let it become your most precious memory, and let this love be forever fixed in a beautiful moment as the snowflakes fall. Because the love of the "snow rose" will never wither!
