For the small courtyard in my heart—Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm's March 8th Women's Day event
A Little Courtyard for the Heart — Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm's International Women's Day Event
Everyone has a courtyard they long for in their heart. In leisure time, invite a few friends over for tea, conversation, and card games. When alone, you can bask in the sun in the yard, listen to music, read, plant flowers, pet the cat, paint... Time unknowingly slows down.
In the Aohu Art Village in Guanlan, Longhua District, Shenzhen, there are many unique courtyards where artists have gathered to create a distinctive beauty. On the occasion of the 114th International Women's Day, Guangdong Zhiming Law Firm specially organized its female employees to visit Ciyin Courtyard for tea brewing and barbecue around the stove, allowing the female colleagues to relax both body and mind while engaging in lively conversation.
The kettle bubbled on the stove, and fruit splashed as it was washed in the sink. While the shopkeeper was getting ready, we took a stroll around the printmaking base. It is home to the China Printmaking Museum, printmaking workshops, a 300-year-old Hakka architectural complex, the Qi Fengge Printmaking History Museum, canola flower fields, and pick-your-own farms.
Walking along the field paths, small fish in the pond flipped over to blow bubbles, while vast green fields were covered with golden, unfaded rapeseed flowers. The floral fragrance wafted over, and white butterflies danced gracefully, bringing a sense of tranquility and joy.
Back in the courtyard, we sipped tea and enjoyed snacks, shedding all fatigue and stress, chatting freely about poetry and distant dreams. When hungry, we ate the stove-roasted barbecue. From 4 PM to 8 PM, we sat happily, reluctant to go home, wishing we had a room here—the courtyard downstairs, and me upstairs.
This event received an enthusiastic response from all the goddesses. Although many female lawyers were unable to attend due to court sessions, the beauty of the event was still felt through photos and videos.
As women, we may have various roles to adapt to—perhaps they are shackles, perhaps they are sweet nectar, perhaps they are chicken ribs. May what you choose be what you love, and what you gain be what you wish for. May this moment be filled with joy. Happy holidays!
