The ocean
shows the process of human beings relying on the ocean to survive, coexist with the ocean, and conquer the ocean. Among these people, some people live completely at sea. When they go ashore, they are just like when we go to sea. The time is very short, and they are even seasick just like us. Some of them will be land-sick.
Before watching this film, I had no idea that these people still live like this on the planet.
Among these people, some people will use skateboards and waves to play games in order to have a sense of conquest, and some people will die because of this. You can not understand, but you can't help being in awe. The shock of that surprise will make you forget everything.
The most time-consuming and difficult part here is shooting underwater. Underwater dangers are everywhere, some of which will exceed what people have seen. The ocean is always mysterious, and you will have surprises, surprises, and even panic in it.
Desert
as human life, our life starts from being surrounded by liquid, but people in desert can no longer enjoy the luxurious water world from the moment of giving birth. Whether enough water can be found determines every life here. Incredibly, there are 300 million people living in deserts on this planet. In addition to enduring water shortages, they also had to endure sandstorms several kilometers high. They will use the power of nature, follow the footprints of animals to find those small water sources, and even fight against the omnipotence of nature in order to survive.
Likewise, human ingenuity has also allowed them to survive in this harsh environment, using a large net to capture the water vapor wafting from the ocean, inspired by cacti. Use underground tunnels to connect underground rivers to obtain life water, which can't be more dangerous in the desert.
The desert is a rough and unpretentious picture, they pay little but demand a lot. But as long as the courage remains, desert people can also evoke the miracle of life.
Arctic
It's hard to imagine how I feel when there are days or nights in front of me for more than ten consecutive days or even dozens of days. Everything is still the same, getting up early, eating, going to get off work, going to school, going home to eat, sleeping, but there is no new sun in the morning, or the sun is still shining when you sleep soundly. This is a portrait of an arctic city. You can only marvel at how adaptable humans are.
Jungle
used to see in novels eating some foreign objects, such as toads or snakes and other creatures, which can achieve the effect of improving internal strength. It turns out that it does exist in nature. Toxins from certain creatures of nature make humans stronger and faster to hunt down fleeing prey. It can also stimulate the eyes with the poisonous juice of the leaves to achieve the effect of concentration of consciousness, so that you can focus more on hunting.
I haven't experienced it, so I can't understand it. What kind of life is this, or does it really exist on this planet. They can kill monkeys because that is the way they have survived for thousands of years. There is no national protection here, and there is no such thing as extinction. There is only a biological chain. People here are part of nature. They respect nature and integrate into nature. They can kill monkeys, but they also keep the offspring of the monkeys that were killed. They don't think it's a contradiction, and they'll even feed the monkeys with their own breast milk. That's how they really exist in the jungle. The survival of people in the
mountains
sometimes needs to pay the price of life, but we don't realize it. But some people know that it will pay a huge price, but they still ignore it to the maximum, because they need to survive.
There may be some customs that we cannot identify with, but they have become groups that live independently of our environment. They will have celestial burials, which they insist are sacred burials that will allow them to go to heaven when they die. We must understand them. Life in the mountains is very cruel, but as long as you have ingenuity and courage, you can also create life on the roof of the world.
grassland
In southern Kenya, there lives a group of people who compete with lions for food. They search for the "table" of the lion by looking for the traces of the prey killed by the lion and dragging away the prey. After finding it, they will use their judgment and courage and courage to go directly to the lions, which is unimaginable to us. . The escape of the lions is only a chance occurrence. This is a war of the weak and the strong. Wisdom trumps everything.
They are good at tracking, and can hunt down a wounded antelope for several kilometers without losing it, even for days and nights, to hunt down animals that have been stabbed by poison arrows and gradually exhausted.
In the face of animals, they also have times when they are powerless. In nature, in addition to locusts sweeping crops, there is actually a species of quelia finches called locusts that attack grassland farmland. In this kind of war, it is impossible for people to win. All they can do is reduce losses, not Let the locust bird have a chance to stay. Of course, they will also kill a large number of these locust birds that stop and need to breed, which is cruel to us, and it is survival for them.
Rivers
Rivers may be the weakest of these natural parts, but seeing a tightrope walker over a roaring river turns that idea on its head.
This is not acrobatics, this is the ultimate way to fish, and it is only a few kilograms of fish. Even you will see wisdom in their eyes, they are like a wise man, fighting with nature is not only for survival, but also to experience human wisdom.
I will also lament that in Tibet, which is closest to us, in order to allow children to read, it is necessary to walk across the surface of the river that has begun to thaw for six or seven days, and every day is fighting against the god of death. What kind of people this journey of learning will produce, we will only know when they grow up.
Cities
We live in cities, so we know a lot about cities, and nothing surprised us when we watched this last episode. We're thrilled to see Masdar, the green city in the Abu Dhabi desert, designed by architect Norman Foster.
The only small city on earth that aims to achieve zero emissions and no pollution. It uses the sun as energy, will not waste a drop of water, and has no gas-guzzling cars. Trees are used as a transit station for energy. This project originates from nature, utilizes technology, and complements nature.
This reminds me of the possibility of arguing with my classmates about the future development of the city when I was in school. He has a point of view that in the future all-electric cities, I am more inclined to return to natural urban development. Maybe the two are biased, but I think we are all thinking about the symbiosis of the city and nature. The city is ultimately to return to nature, and ultimately to become a part of nature.
There is no doubt that if we continue to live in cities, we must stop the wanton plundering of nature. Meditate on the future of humanity. What we do indoors and outdoors will affect the entire planet. The future of human civilization depends on us rebuilding the balance between nature and the city. Can we do it? Our ingenuity and creativity allow us to join forces with nature. If we can combine this instinct with perfect imagination and brilliant insight, our cities will be able to write new chapters. The fate of the human planet is in our hands.
