In Linzhou city, located at the eastern end of the Taihang Mountains in central China's Henan Province, red persimmons defiantly cling to tree branches, undeterred by the first snowfall of winter.

Clustered closely together, these persimmons resemble flames, infusing the wintry landscape of the Taihang Mountains with a vibrant burst of color, and bring warmth to people's hearts.
