She borrowed money to open a flower shop and won the title of Hostel The Style in the world.

Most girls in their twenties and thirties

Envy others with famous bags, beautiful clothes and shoes

But there was a girl.

Up to now, I only envy two things:

All kinds of flowers in other people's big gardens and gardens

Her name is eyelash and she is cute and playful.

The nickname comes from her thick curly eyelashes.

She loves flowers.

Because it was her childhood.

It is also a comfort in the life of lonely Beijing drifters.

Eyelashes come from Qinghai and have lived on the prairie since childhood

The neighbors were far away at that time.

No one locks the door, there's no fence.

Although there are no toys or snacks.

But it has the whole nature.

Know which flower has the sweetest stamens and which wild fruit is the most fragrant

From spring to autumn

The grass sprouts, and then the first flower on the prairie

Always find different surprises.

This kind of life makes the eyelashes develop a love and freedom temper.

She can't forget the feeling of walking barefoot on the prairie when she was a child.

When I first came to Beijing to go to college

Walk through the building every day

She felt very uncomfortable.

Outdoor flowers and plants have become the greatest comfort.

After graduating from college

The eyelashes are not looking for a job step by step.

Instead, he chose to travel north and south and become a backpacker.

Travel while working

Yunnan, Xizang, Sichuan, Thailand.

Left footprints in many places.

Also stayed in all kinds of inns.

The youth hostel with eyelashes all the way.

She said, "the atmosphere of Youth Travel is very good, like a home."

After returning to Beijing

I had the idea of opening a youth hostel.

She had almost no money at that time.

Different from rural residential accommodation

Since it is a Youth Travel Service, convenient transportation is the first priority.

Although she had no money, she went to see many houses first.

She locked the target within the second Ring Road.

A "street sweeping operation" was carried out on every alley and alley.

After looking at an alley, cross out one on the map.

In the heart of the eyelashes

"finding a house is like finding a boyfriend. It depends on fate."

For almost a year.

Finally, her "fate" came.

This is a courtyard house.

At that time, the money on the eyelashes was only enough to pay the rent for a month or two.

Or gnash your teeth and sign the house.

Many people say, "eyelashes are so bold that if you have no money, you dare to sign a contract."

Fortunately, with the support of friends and family,

Everyone put together about 500000 yuan.

Became the first start-up capital.

The decoration is in winter.

The eyelashes are in the unheated house.

Tidy up brick by brick

And busy with all kinds of complicated formalities.

But no matter how hard it is, the eyelashes have survived.

The territory of eyelashes cannot be separated from flowers.

She remembers clearly

I was so excited that I couldn't sleep the day before I went shopping in the flower market.

The names of flowers are still muttering in his mouth: Dendrobium, calla lilies, hyacinths.

Pronounce almost all the flower names you know

However, due to the limited funds

You can only choose some of them.

In the early days of opening the store, the room income is not enough to support the rent.

The eyelash changed the hall on the ground floor into a cafe.

Learn to make your own coffee.

Stand from 7 a.m. to 11:00 every day

After closing the door, we have to clean up and take care of the flowers and plants.

Often busy until 3 or 4 o'clock at night

Recall the days when there was no fear.

The eyelash said, "even if you give in in any link,"

God can't help you even if he wants to. "

Due to lack of funds for publicity

Business was a little bleak at first.

But the eyelashes are not discouraged, and they still manage attentively.

Gradually, her garden hostel began to fill up

Tourists from Beijing, the United States, Australia and Mauritius are all here.

There is even the most popular literary goddess Jiang Yiyan.

Eyelashes and Jiang Yiyan (right)

Ten years have passed.

An once poor girl from Qinghai.

Now we have Youth Travel, Cafe, Restaurant and so on.

These spaces are surrounded by flowers and plants.

Became her "Peiping Garden".

The Guardian rated it as one of the most fashionable TOP10 hostels in the world.

Peiping Garden also appeared in National Geographic magazine.

She takes care of every flower in the shop herself.

The flowers wear out a lot.

I usually buy a car almost a week.

The loss of indoor heating will be greater in winter.

Eyelashes don't like designer bags.

But you can almost buy a famous brand bag with a cart of flowers.

She spends more than half a million a year on buying flowers and planting.

She has never been stingy in this respect

Because there are so many people who can share this beauty with her

She said, "I can live without a designer bag all my life.

But you can't do without flowers. "

Every morning, the moment you enter the door

She'll know which one is good right away.

Which tree is short of water or sick?

I don't even have time for a sip of water.

Can't wait to start "serving" them.

She wants to pick up every bouquet of flowers.

Cut off a little bit of root and change water

The container should be cleaned very clean.

Otherwise, the flowers will rot easily.

This kind of work takes a lot of time.

The hands of the eyelashes have also become a little rough because of the long-term service of gardening.

The flowers we saw were colorful and bright.

Are the deepest love of eyelashes.

At the recent Beijing Design Zhouhua Zhiji Art Festival

The one-person Room, the work of eyelashes, also received attention.

About the work

She said, "A person who loves life.

Even if it is a fighting room

It will also be a happy life and the best home. "

Although every day is accompanied by flowers

Eyelashes say they don't know enough.

In my spare time, I will read many books and programs on plants and flowers at home and abroad.

She likes and admires Grandma Tasha best.

She bought almost all the books about Grandma Tasha.

If you haven't bought all the Chinese, go to Japan to buy the Japanese version.

If you can't read the text, you can flip through the picture.

Eyelashes hope to be the same as Grandma Tasha.

Have been living a life with flowers

In old age

Can still live to stretch.

With a charming, warm smile

Never think that your dreams are far away.

If you have a dream, pursue it boldly.

It's never too late.
