Peaches Are in Full Season
I like to think of summer as being the “fruity” season because it is when more of them are available. Although modern technology has made it easier to get almost any type of fruit that you want at any time, there are still exceptions known as seasonal fruits. Such fruits normally come from a sole area and beat out their mediocre competitors that come from elsewhere. That is why smart merchants have registered the place name as part of the brand name for these products, for example, Yangshan Peaches, which come from the small town of Yangshan.
While these peaches are quite famous for being juicy, sweet and having a ‘melt in your mouth’ quality, in my eyes, they are so tasty that only the ones from there are truly deserving of the name “peach.” It is currently the high season for Yangshan peaches, and I know that come tomorrow, my mum will be very happy to see not only my face, but also her peaches, which I will stop and buy for her. In that respect, regardless of what season it actually is, it is always the right season to be good to our parents.*
Hi, Kailin! As usual, "Whatever changes…." I hope you enjoy the time with your mum! J.
P.S. I thought you might be interested in the below links. With the story in the WSJ dating back to 2009, I would surmise that they are arguably "world-famous" by now. If only you had written about this sooner, perhaps I could have tried one while I was in Hong Kong! I am glad that I am missing the protests though...
