Orchid Market Watch: Looking at the Orchid Market Through Football

Lately, watching the World Cup football matches and checking on newly emerging orchid shoots is a truly pleasant thing, and it adds charm to this summer as well.

Why the 32 teams do not include China may have left some regret; China does not lack money or talent, so why is football not up to par? This is worth pondering.

Football, as a highly professional competitive sport, tests team spirit at its core. The lack of team spirit and a corrupt system have brought sorrow to the fans.

The same is true for loving orchids. Does China lack a community of orchid lovers? Does China lack resources? Does China lack spending power as its economy improves? It lacks none of these.

There is a phenomenon in the orchid industry

Those who dig up orchids do not know how to grow them

They cannot sell them for a good price

Those who sell orchids cannot keep a settled heart

Those who grow orchids may have the money but still cannot necessarily buy the right orchids

The authorities count piles of money; can they provide a fair stage for development

In a money-driven society, with the loss of culture and the decline of morals, everyone acts on their own and undercuts one another. Can we be a bit more united and do something meaningful for the inheritance of orchid culture?

Reasonable publicity, correct guidance, each fulfilling their own role, resource sharing, providing some help for those who like orchids and love orchids, and together making the orchid industry more systematic and standardized and leading it onto a bigger international stage.

Do not learn from Chinese football; once you kick a football, you fall into deep waters, and once you mention orchids, a generation is hurt.

This is just an editor's random note after watching a match; treat it as nonsense. Comments and brickbats are welcome.

From Monday to Friday, Lao Yan will be there in the livestream, rain or shine.
