Features: Have you ever seen a red paper umbrella? It has water-like bamboo ribs and a water-like canopy, with fragments of "Butterfly Lovers" inscribed on it and embroidered with green Chinese paintings. At first, it was a shelter from the wind and rain; later, it covered the entire sky; and then, it transformed into a poem, a painting, and a cloud that lingered in past and present.
