Lamma Island, during the Tang and Song dynasties, was a place where foreign ships bound for Guangzhou for trade anchored. Later, it was elegantly renamed "Po Liu Chau".
Because the island is located south of Hong Kong and its shape resembles the Chinese character "丫", it was named "Lamma Island" and gradually replaced the name "Pok Liu Chau".
Administratively, it belongs to the Islands District, one of the eighteen districts of Hong Kong.
Birthplace of the famous actor Chow Yun-fat.
Artifacts from the Neolithic period to the Ming and Qing dynasties have been unearthed in Sham Wan, Lamma Island.
The island is mostly mountainous, with the highest point being Shan Di Tang in the south. There are some flat areas in Yung Shue Wan and Sok Kwu Wan. There is a reclaimed area in the northwest called Pineapple Tsui.
The large plot of land that Lin Chengyu bought was right next to Pineapple Tsui. It was mostly mountainous and planted with many Bauhinia, roses, and Chinese roses. The family could see large patches of purple, pink, red, and white flowers from afar on the boat.
"Oh my god, if we had known this place was this beautiful, we would have come here for vacation sooner!"
Song Ziqing, nestled in Lin Chengyu's arms, was thrilled to see how beautiful the island was.
“Before you were pregnant, I didn’t dare to take you on a boat trip. Besides, these flowers had only been planted for less than a year, so they didn’t bloom very well.”
This year is different. As soon as spring arrived, all sorts of wildflowers in the mountains burst into bloom. The weather has been very warm these past few days, and these buds have opened one after another. That's why I suggested that our whole family come to Lamma Island for a vacation.
Lin Chengyu gently hugged his wife, leaning against the ship's railing, feeling completely relaxed.
After Lin Chengyu saw that the boat had stopped, he took the lead in helping Song Ziqing off the boat.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Song Ziqing took a deep breath, her face full of delight.
Xiao Cheng and Xiao Yu were also in a stroller, and with the help of their grandparents, they followed their parents off the boat.
This is the first time the twins have left the hillside villa since they were born; the farthest the two babies had ever been before was the hillside.
With the help of security, the family entered the villa, which was decorated in a warm and elegant style.
The night before, when the family decided to vacation on Lamma Island, Lin Chengyu called the island staff and asked them to have someone clean the villa.
Now, as soon as the family enters the villa, they feel a strong sense of home.
"Do you like it here?" Lin Chengyu asked.
Song Ziqing nodded, her eyes filled with happiness, "As long as I'm with you, I like anywhere."
Lin Chengyu smiled and hugged his wife tightly.
Lin Chengyu strolled in the garden with his wife and children, admiring the beautiful flowers. The children curiously explored everything around them, their laughter echoing in the air.
After dinner, the family sat on the balcony, watching the sun slowly set, the sea seemingly draped in a golden veil.
Song Ziqing leaned gently on Lin Chengyu's shoulder, whispering their dreams and aspirations for the future.
At night, the stars are like dazzling jewels, inlaid in the sky.
Lin Chengyu and Song Ziqing walked hand in hand into the room to spend some quiet time together.
"Let's get up early tomorrow and go hiking together to watch the sunrise!"
Song Ziqing excitedly took out his easel, intending to depict the beautiful sunrise on the mountain.
This time, she decided to use the traditional Chinese painting style, because in her eyes, the artistic conception of traditional Chinese painting is the most captivating.
However, for her, whose main focus is on flowers and birds, her brushstrokes are still somewhat unfamiliar with traditional Chinese paintings such as landscapes and sunrises.
In her future creations, she will still love flower-and-bird paintings the most, while she still has a lot of room for improvement in landscape painting.
After all, her predecessor had limited experience, had always been confined to Shanghai, and had a shallow understanding of the world.
But the one who traveled through time was completely different; she had traveled halfway around the world and seen countless mountains and rivers.
Now living in a city like Hong Kong, which is close to the sea, her mind has become broader, and she firmly believes that her landscape paintings will also improve as her state of mind changes.
The next morning, as dawn broke, Lin Chengyu and Song Ziqing quietly got out of bed.
The two of them held hands and temporarily left their parents and children behind, climbing to the top of the mountain in the morning dew.
As the first rays of sunlight touched his face, Song Ziqing quickly unfolded his easel and used his brush to depict the beautiful scenery before him.
Her brushstrokes are lively and delicate, perfectly capturing the charm of sunrise.
Back at the villa, Song Ziqing hung the completed painting on the wall and savored its charm.
She felt that her painting skills had made a new breakthrough and was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Over the next few days, the family thoroughly enjoyed their time on Lamma Island, creating many unforgettable memories.
On the last day, Jones surprisingly brought Bai Mei directly to Lamma Island, which left Song Ziqing stunned.
She never expected this teacher to be so irresponsible, actually bringing Bai Mei here. As a result, she didn't look too happy when facing Jones.
She said directly to Jones, "Teacher, I don't mind if you come to stay at our family's vacation villa for a while, but I can't really accept people I don't know coming to my home."
Tonight, I can only arrange for you to stay at a guesthouse in the resort next door. The environment there is nice, and it has just started its trial operation, so there aren't many people coming and going. It's a very comfortable place to stay.
The resort offers a self-service barbecue; you can try it out and grill your own food—it'll be a lot of fun!
Jones then suddenly realized that he had been so infatuated with Bai Mei that he had forgotten that in the eyes of ordinary upper-class people, a woman like Bai Mei was like a parasitic plant, not worthy of being discussed in a refined manner, and that he was just using her to pass the time.
However, he also realized that the longer he spent with Bai Mei, the more he was influenced by her, and last night he even had the urge to marry her.
It wasn't until he met Song Ziqing's family that his previously muddled mind finally snapped out of its daze.
He suddenly had a strange and indescribable feeling—as if he had been subjected to some kind of magical spell!
That's right, it's poisoning, and it's the curse brought by the unique charm of the white plum blossom!
Whenever I am by her side, a strong impulse rises within me, and I want to do everything I can to protect and care for this woman.
What's even more outrageous lately is that he actually created several exquisite paintings for Bai Mei, and each painting depicts her.
Moreover, he unreservedly gifted all of these masterpieces, which he had poured his heart and soul into, to Bai Mei.
You know, the paintings he gave to Bai Mei alone were worth millions. Just thinking about it made him feel like he was being ripped off.
