“Green Grape Butterfly Bracelet”
At the cultural and creative market in July, Lin Tang was attracted by a touch of green in the glass display case – it was a bracelet made of green grape colored glass and silver silk butterflies. The wings of each butterfly were as thin as cicada wings, trembling gently in the wind, as if they would fly away in the next second. “This is called ‘Summer Butterfly’,” the shop owner, a girl wearing Hanfu, tapped the butterfly wings with her fingertips, “each butterfly hides a green grape seed, and it is said that it will have a fruity fragrance if worn for a long time.” When Lin Tang bought it, she was at the lowest point in her life – her work was frustrated, her relationship ended, and even her favorite summer became hot and unbearable. She put the bracelet on her wrist, and the butterfly wings swayed gently with her movements, like silent comfort. One rainy night after overtime, she stood at the bus stop in a daze, and suddenly found that the butterflies on the bracelet reflected tiny spots of light under the street lights, falling on the wet ground, like a group of real night butterflies flying low. At that moment, she inexplicably remembered what her grandmother said when she was a child in the countryside: “Butterflies are caterpillars that have become better.” She lowered her head and smiled, reaching out to catch a drop of rain. Later, Lin Tang changed her job and began to learn illustration. When she first posted her work online, she specially drew that bracelet – a blue butterfly fell on the edge of her drawing, with watercolor on its wings, as if it had just flown into her world from summer. (Meaning: Some transformations are very quiet, like a butterfly flapping its wings in a deserted place, but you know that everything is getting better.)
