Multi-purpose chopsticks (筷子) in our garden

With a pair of chopsticks a Chinese can travel the world, he or she will never go hungry.  We find a new use for the multi-purpose chopsticks.

Yesterday (March 24) we saw a stem of hyacinth bending and lying on the ground after a night of rain fall, it gave us heartache (看了心痛).  Why a thing so beautiful and delicate has to be fragile?

The chopsticks came to rescue.  These photos show the hyacinths have our support and that of the chopsticks.

The upper part of “筷” is 竹 (bamboo) as the original chopsticks are made of bamboo, whereas the lower part is “快” which means fast and efficient, and that is筷子 (chopsticks).
