Well, since Jung Il woo just created a digital version of his magazine… there is really no need for me to translate any more of it… but of all the things that were left I wanted to cover this page, the one where fans shared their writing and photos under “Bloom.” I really wanted to read these… here they are! They are both very good!
“Silly Flower”
In the most unlikely of places, in a little crack of dirt between two paved garage alleys, a plant emerged…
And there sheltered by a fence behind it, it grew tall and bloomed In one single flower…
In its solitary existence, It shared its beautiful colors of orange and yellow with all those who passed by…
Silly flower! How could you choose such a place? whispered other flowers across from a garden…
Silly flower! Why do you even live? You are all alone! thought a person that walked by…
The flower that without ears could never really hear, answered their questions like this…
Does it matter the place where one is born? This place has given me everything to grow and prosper and be here today…
Am I really alone? I live connected to the energy of life on this planet Earth, that minuscule sphere of wonder floating in the universe
I share what I possess: the beauty of my petals, and the dance of my leaves when touched by the wind…
I am so thankful! for this little dirt spot, for all those that pass by, and for everyday’s miracle, that makes this “silly flower” exist.

Place regarding flower- Bangchon
There is a place called Bangchon in Guangzhou, Guangdong in China. Why do they call this town Bangchon? This is because many flower farmers lived here once. There is another place called Hwaji in Bangchon. People from Ming dynasty called here Hwaji, a place of placing flowers, as there are many flowers. Hwaji is the largest flower auction in Hwanam province. They deliver flowers all over China. Have you known the name of Bangchon?
Place regarding flower – Guangzhou
Flowers do a very big role not only in international trade but also they soak into people’s lives. There is a flower market in Guangzhou in every spring festival season. Every famous flower from all over China gather and the market allows people to freely pick their favorite flowers. This program is only available in Guangzhou. Tourists can have exotic experience here. I recommend you to come to this flower market. Around November to December every year, there is a Guangzhou flower expo in Guangzhou, In this expo, florists from nine different countries (China, Japan, Korea, Germany, Netherland, etc) represent their works. Flowers are essence for Guangzhou people and they act well in international exchange. Beautiful Guangzhou expresses its limitless charm.
