英雄與霸王

英雄再現->小霸王->風塵三俠->虯髯客->絞殺技->英雄壓霸王

英雄與霸王來自一個風水佈局,將木棉樹種在細葉榕旁,平衡雙方的所做成的偏側局面.

木棉和細葉榕在香港已種上多年,取景並不困難.木棉在樹群中有露頭的特性,樹冠的紅花,畢直的樹幹,是英雄的代表.細葉榕的絞殺絕技,雄霸的樹冠,確實是霸王的材料.

年青的英雄鋒芒畢露,朝氣蓬勃.小霸王倚牆而生,氣根嚇人,難掩此樹日後的野心.

壯年時英雄遇上一對戀人,成為一時佳話.霸王橫空而過,遇樹殺樹,氣勢一時無兩.

某一天,兩雄終於相遇.是我贏你輸的零和遊戲,還是共存的雙贏結局呢?

無奈的,英雄總有末路,霸王也有老死的一天.

Hero and Overlord

Return of Hero->Overlord Jr.->The Three Musketeers.->Hero conquer Overlord->Strangling skills->Hero conquer Overlord

The alliance of Hero and Overlord came as a feng shui setup.  Cotton Tree (Bombax ceiba) was planted next to Chinese Banyan (Ficus microcarpa) so as to redress the balance.

Cotton Tree and Chinese Banyan have been planted in Hong Kong for many years.  It』s not difficult to locate them.  With its 「outcrop」 characteristic, 「Hero」 is often easily spotted in amongst other trees.  Its red-flowered crown and straight trunk are typical of a 「Hero」.  Whereas, the strangling skill and dominant canopy of Chinese Banyan truly make it the 「Overlord」. 

The young 「Hero」 showed its talents and was full of vigor and vitality.  On the other hand, Overlord Jr. leaned against the wall to grow.  The intimidating aerial roots could not conceal its ambitions. 

The Hero met a couple when it』s in its prime and this constituted to a much-told story.  The Overlord swept through the air and killed every single tree it came across.  The momentum was beyond compare. 

One day, the two finally met.  What would happen?  Was it a game of 「win-or-lose」?  Or could it be 「win-win」 and they co-exist? 

Nevertheless, inevitably, Hero would be at the end of the road and Overlord would die of old age.
