The kapok tree on the west cemetery road, also known as the hero tree, is not displayed to future generations by handsome appearance, but by real heroic actions. It is said that in Wuzhishan, Hainan Island, there is a hero named Jibei, who led the Li people to fight against foreign enemies many times and won the love of the people. Later, he was betrayed by traitors, besieged by the enemy on the mountain, and stood on the top of the mountain with several arrows on his body. His body became a kapok tree, his arrow feathers became branches, and his blood became crimson flowers. In order to commemorate him, later generations called kapok a hero tree and kapok a hero flower. The martyrs cemetery is straight all the way, and the roads are covered with kapok trees, which are numerous and magnificent.

In the late autumn and early winter of South China Normal University, the beautiful exotic kapok of South China Normal University bloomed for the second time, with the color as white as frost and snow and the powder as rouge. Clusters of flowers embrace each other, and five long petals roll slightly, which is unforgettable. However, few people know that the cultivation of beautiful kapok originated from South China Normal University, and the beautiful kapok in the ecological park of China Normal University is also the earliest big-bellied kapok in Guangzhou. That year, at the Southeast Asia Fish Exchange Conference, Japanese experts attending the meeting gave Pan Jiong-hua some beautiful exotic kapok seedlings as a souvenir. After returning home, Pan Jiong-hua gave the tree species to Chen Jiu and the fish teacher in the biology department. There is only one exotic kapok planted by Chen in the Cultural Square now, and its tree shape is different from other exotic kapok. The six beautiful exotic kapok plants planted by Mr. Fish School in the Biological Park are still in full bloom every year and continue to provide tree species for reproduction. Among them, there are two red and one white mother trees. Because of the lush flowers, many people go to watch and take pictures every flowering season.

Tips: Because the kapok tree is tall, kapok is usually in a high position, which is not easy to watch. In order to appreciate kapok better, it is suggested to look for the same level as kapok, such as buildings and mountains. If you find a good place to watch, you can take a good photo. Remember not to miss the birds jumping on the branches. If you want to photograph and observe birds, remember to bring binoculars or telephoto lenses.
