  On 8th December, at the street corner of Qixiu Road and Dongsi Road in the urban district, ‘post-90s’ art blogger Ge Duo ‘dressed’ 5 oriental planes with colored sweaters on site, which attracted many citizens to bring their children to watch and take photos. 

  Last winter, a ‘fallen leaves cat’ made with plane tree leaves overwhelmed Nantong people’s social media platforms. Nantong young man Ge Duo also became an internet celebrity. 

  ‘I have been making “stingers” related to the city. Last year I made a ‘fallen leaves cat’. This year I changed to a different format.’ Ge Duo introduced that the 5 oriental planes ‘wore’ colored sweaters whose themes were Nantong, love, spring, animal, and Christmas respectively. ‘Each tree is decorated with some decorations according to the themes. It is more interesting.’ 

  Wang Zeyu, a first-grade student, said that the oriental planes looked beautiful and unique after ‘putting on’ the colored sweaters, and the decorations on the sweaters felt soft. ‘After I return home, I will also do a plush accessory and give it to my mom.’

法国梧桐“穿上”彩色毛衣

    12月8日，市区启秀路与东寺路街角，“90后”艺术博主葛多现场为5棵法国梧桐树“穿”彩色毛衣，吸引了不少市民带着孩子前来观赏、打卡拍照。

    去年冬天，一只用梧桐叶拼成的“落叶猫”，萌翻了通城人的朋友圈，南通小伙葛多也成了网红人物。

    “我一直在做与城市相关的‘小彩蛋’，去年创作了‘落叶猫’，今年换一种形式。”葛多介绍，5棵法国梧桐树分别“穿上”南通、爱心、春天、动物、圣诞相关主题的彩色毛衣，“每棵树根据主题再搭配一些装饰品，这样更有趣点。”

    一年级学生王泽语说，法国梧桐“穿上”彩色毛衣后很漂亮、很别致，毛衣上的饰品摸上去软软的，“我回家后，也要做一件毛绒饰品送给妈妈。”
