Who is right? The answer is a bit of both.We all have an idea of what spring means - many flowers, warmer weather, more rain, birds singing and so on. If you think when the thrushes (画眉) sing, spring comes, then its late this year. If you think when flowers come out, spring comes. Then its early. Bluebells? Spring can be right on time.There are many things in spring, but they dont all come at the same time. Some may come early, and some may come late.
