I'm not as good as a penguin.
Yep, that's exactly how I felt when I watched Season 2 of Planet Earth.
I still vividly remember the shock of the first season of Planet Earth in 2009. That was the first time I felt that the planet under our feet was so beautiful, and the wild world was so colorful.
Now that the second season of the heavyweight documentary has aired, it has once again caused a stir. Never before has a nature documentary received such high ratings. I'm sure everyone who sees it can't help but give it a thumbs up.
Unlike the first season, which surveyed the global ecology, the second season narrowed the field of vision a lot, focusing more on exploring and discovering the survival methods of animals in different environments.
Thanks to the meticulous shooting of the film crew who are not afraid of difficulties and tedious troubles, the daily lives of various animals are clearly displayed in front of our eyes.
I don't feel like I'm looking at animals, but more like friends.
That's a feature of Planet Earth's second season. Although it tells about the life and death of animals, it carries the shadow of human beings all the time. It uses animals to inspire human beings.
Although the earth is very rich in resources, it also has a very large biological population, which leads to the extremely limited resources that each individual can control.
In Season 2 of Planet Earth, nearly every animal is struggling to make ends meet and find ways to reproduce.
The snow leopards on the top of the plateau, the lions in the desert hinterland, and the antelopes on the cliffs, the difficulty of survival is even more unimaginable.
Why do I sigh that I am not as good as a penguin?
On an active volcanic island in the vast sea, there lives a huge penguin population. They are far from the Antarctic continent, and the only reason they choose to settle here is that there is enough food and no competition.
But this desert island itself is barren, and there is no food to wrap the belly.
So every morning, the penguin father leaves his wife to take care of the baby, and he waddles, dragging his fat body, and jumping off the cliff several meters high on the coast.
Most of the time, it would lose its direction due to the slap of the fierce waves, and slammed into hard and sharp rocks. But as long as there is a breath left, it will plunge into the sea, struggling to swim to the depths in search of food.
The way back was more difficult. It takes courage to jump off a cliff. But for a penguin full of food and bruised and bruised, climbing a cliff several meters high is simply an "impossible task".
But in order to let the baby eat as soon as possible, the penguin father tried his best, flapping his small wings, and using his two equally not so strong feet, he tried his best to climb the cliff.
After finally returning home, the penguin father hurriedly fed the already hungry baby. Seeing that the baby is healthy and healthy, he feels that all the hard work is worth it.
The mother penguin didn't have time to have a good time with her husband, and she was also hungry. So she reluctantly left the baby and went through her husband's foraging journey all over again.
Day after day, year after year, the penguins living on the island keep repeating this difficult and dangerous road, and no one can guarantee to come back alive.
But in order to survive, these clumsy-looking little guys gave all their efforts and deserved respect.
Compared with those little penguins who are desperate for their families, I am ashamed. I don't give enough for my family, I always lament that life is not easy and stressful, but I don't try my best to get a better life.
How many of us can do better than these penguins, I don't know. But doing my best to make life better for my family is the inspiration given to me by these humble animals.
They made me understand that survival is not easy, and we must do our best.
