Happy Spring!
I saw a movie called Lost Horizon(1973) long time ago. The airplane crash landed on a snow mountain of Himalaya. The passengers were rescued and taken to Shangri-La 香格里拉. I don't remember the story but I thought people went through the cave and reached a village with ever lasting spring with blossoms. The villagers have perpetual life. I remember the part that a man from outside world peggy backed a village woman(Olivia Hussey) and went back to the snow mountain. Then the woman instantly became old and died.
My video was inspired by the scenery of this movie. Shangri-La is an utopia. We can find the inner peace, warmth, comfort, relaxation, while practicing Taichi, Qigong, or meditation like in Shangri-La.
Sakura, cherry blossoms bloom beautifully in spring time. The blossoms have very short life. They only last for about one week in Japan. Falling petals are also beautiful like snow. Japanese people love Sakura as thought it resembles human life. Our life is also short, especially in the ancient time. Average life lasted less than forty years. I guess people wished to live happy and beautiful life. Spring also represents youth. People wants long lasting spring.
Although the blossoms don't fast long, the cherry trees have strong life energy. Some trees in Japan lives over a thousand years.
