The plum blossom Painting

I hung up this painting when I moved in my current apartment. Actually, I am not cultured about Chinese ink and wash painting. My dad gave it to me as a present before I departed from China.

There is a branch of plum blossom in the painting. Plum blossom blooms in very early spring when the weather is cold and snow. My dad said plum blossom symbols sturdiness and romantics. When I miss my family I would like to watch this painting. It let me feel peaceful and be encouraged.
