Even the Frosts Can Be Artificially Made

Translated…

Before the Chinese New Years, I was buying a book in a supermarket in town, it’s, originally a very dissimilar thing on its own.  all of a sudden, I saw those dried persimmons.  Looking at the bag of persimmons, I’d felt a familiarity, bought a bag.  Not for anything else, but because there were, frosts on them, the persimmon frosts.

Frosts, is the plain faces of my hometown that I’d not seen in a long time.

After the holidays, I’d brought the bag with me to Zhengzhou, as I ate it, I’d, slowly, played with the frostings, felt, that the frostings on the persimmons were way too thick, they’d clustered together, then, fallen off, and, I’d started, having doubts on whether or not the frosts were really from the persimmons themselves, so, I’d, flipped the packaging over to read the labels, the labels stated—product: Dried Persimmons.  Ingredients: Persimmons and oligomeric maltose.

I’d understood, that it’s, false advertising: the frosts on the persimmons, weren’t real, they were, artificially made.  That there are, hands in this world, that can make, the artificial frosts.  Why don’t you, also make the moonlights too?

My childhood experiences told me, that the natural frosts on the persimmons were made from the inside of the fruits.  That the persimmons exhaled, and, with the cohesions of the cool air.  As the autumn drew nearer, can the, frost be, far off?

and this, is what the naturally formed frosts looked like on the persimmons, photo from online…

I’d gone by my childhood memories, and still knew that there were, the naturally formed, frosts on the persimmons.  And now, most of the younger generations knew, that the metals used to building houses got erected up very quickly, like those spring bamboos after the rain, but, most don’t know about the saying of the frosts on the persimmons anymore.

So, this, is wanting life to return to simpler times, where there are, less of the artificial things, the artificial flavorings, but as we become more and more technologically savvy and advanced, we’re, slowly, losing the natural ways of doing things, and, everything becomes, artificially flavored, artificially made!
