Works Appreciation
Under the sun, the feathers were covered with the brilliance of the sun. It's a bit dazzling, but how colorful it is. The infinite light is refracted in space, like a heron flying over thousands of rays of light. The white egret has white feathers, neat and beautiful like a holy lily. But under the author's interpretation, the simplicity and beauty are rendered so dazzling. Lifting my eyes under the blue sky, I imagined a white egret spreading its huge and light wings, flying freely in the air.
