This documentary was also due to Douyin. When I heard a few introductions in the video, I was attracted by the temperament revealed by the film. I immediately realized that I should close this video. I need to maximize it. Keep the freshness of the movie.
What a miraculous encounter about marine ecology and the friendship, bondage and even attachment between the natural creatures on the seabed and human beings! In such a beautiful submarine seaweed forest, the protagonist appears here as a person who has suffered setbacks in his life. It's like when I'm depressed and exhausted, I like to hide in a small and dark environment to get a moment of respite, and I have a similar escape method. It is only because of this environment that we can truly be alone. At this time, we are facing our own soul, and only our own soul will treat ourselves unreservedly.
So in this comfort zone that belongs to the protagonist alone, in a space with many marine species, what did the author discover in his aimless observation?
A strange thing, like pieces of rubble, was randomly glued into a ball. Under careful observation, the ball suddenly scattered, and a panicked octopus rushed out of it. This is their first place. Meet once.
What's interesting is that the author perseveres and waits before coming to its lair at the same time every day, like a silent confession.
A magical thing happened. Octopus not only understood that he was not malicious, but also became friends with him. How wonderful. Even in the day after day getting along, it gradually developed attachment to him. When he appeared, it would still lie on his chest and stay quietly for a period of time.
In the brief and silent relationship, he saw from the octopus sister her life habits, survival skills, attitudes when facing crises, and ways to deal with setbacks. Although she was only an octopus, she also had her own emotions. He has his own ideas, and even has a playful side, what a cute creature. Later, according to the author, it was learned that although octopuses are small fluid creatures, they have the same IQ as kittens and puppies.
In this way, he will appear by his side on time every day, day after day, watching it grow from a young octopus day by day, and then grow old day by day, until it completes the final mission of life-mating, and then consumption. Do your best to give birth to cubs and die peacefully. In this way, he accompanied him throughout his life, and he also used his life to show him a life journey about birth, old age, sickness and death.
After watching the movie, I have a lot of stamina, and there is a kind of inexplicable thoughts lingering. I didn't know until I wrote this article. It turns out that I, like the author, also look forward to an octopus when I am vulnerable, escaped, and alone. Accompany yourself through the ordinary years that are inevitable in life. 9.2 points!
