- Inspiration
- The inspiration comes from the author's childhood rural life. In the process of perceiving the "tree" since childhood, what lingers is that the "tree" is used in the form of tools to provide daily necessities and "service" for drying quilt covers for people living nearby. The author felt sad about the "pressure" of trees since childhood. Why should a tree bear so much weight for mankind. Nowadays, people's interference with nature is more like one quilt after another
