Tate, who lives in the jungle with his family, said his wife hadn't eaten honey for a long time. At this moment, he was standing under a straight tree, looking eagerly at a honeycomb 40 meters above his head. Soon, he began to climb the tree: with an axe in his hand, he chiseled some small holes in the trunk for his hands and feet to climb and step on, and at the same time, he used the frictional force between a looped rope and the bark. Rub up. Despite the fears along the way, he eventually climbed to a height of 40 meters. With the stinging pain of being stung, he happily put his hand into the honeycomb and took out the golden sweet honey. At this moment, the wife who had been watching him under the tree loosened her frown, and she was only lucky to marry an invincible warrior.
Indonesia's Yizhen crater emits 40 times the amount of sulfide poisonous gas. However, people living in this area travel to the highly toxic crater every day to collect sulphur in order to maintain their household income. Years and years of running back and forth, the weight of the sulphur had deformed their shoulders, and the huge smoke and pungent odors continued to eat away at their eyes, throats, lungs, and lifespans. However, for the high income of 5 US dollars per trip, they are still crying and coughing in the dense fog of poisonous smoke, and striding hard on the narrow mountain road, but at this moment, their aching shoulders must also be feeling the joy of returning home. weight.
On the turbulent waters of the Mekong River, there are two steel cables up and down. The ropes lead across the river to a small island, where the fisherman, Shan Niu, knew only about a good place to fish. The Cambodian fisherman walked barefoot on the lower iron rope, grasped the upper iron rope with both hands, and moved his body carefully. He has a yellow skin like the water of the Mekong. However, in the monsoon season, the surging river swept the yellow soil and swept the yellow soil, but the yellow-skinned fisherman had to step on the wire rope steadily and cautiously. in river water. Taking steps again and again, moving his hands again and again, his eyes are always looking at the small island in front of him calmly. Seeing that it was coming, his feet finally set foot on the solid land of the island, and he could take a few steps boldly for the time being. He threw the fishing net vigorously, and the fish was abundant here, and the harvest would be soon. On the way back, there were more spoils hanging around his waist than when he came, and he continued to walk carefully on the wire rope. Beneath the slender steel cables, the big yellow river is still galloping; in the river valley, this fisherman who is moving slowly seems so small, but in his thin and sturdy body, a huge force is supporting his victory. walked to the other side of the river, towards the direction of home.
In winter, the Janskar Canyon on the edge of Tibet becomes a world of ice and snow, and the road in and out is blocked by ice. Stankin wants to send his two children to school, and the nearest school is more than 100 kilometers away. Their only way was an icy river, and it would take them about six days to get to the school. After packing their gear, they set off. Three thin and insignificant figures began to walk in the world of white ice and snow in the highest mountains on earth. The father walked in front, testing the thickness of the ice with a stick, and the children followed closely, believing in their father's courage and skill, and in themselves, and in good luck. However, you must be very careful when you take a step, because if you accidentally step into the thin ice layer, it may cause the entire river ice layer to collapse, and you can only live for up to eight minutes if you fall into the river. At the same time, attention must also be paid to possible avalanches on the high mountains on both sides, a disaster that was killing people a few days ago. After untold hardships and running for six days and nights, they finally arrived at the school. After leaving the child, the father embarked on the return journey alone. At this moment, above the glacier, he is still measuring the destination of the next victory with his footsteps, walking peacefully and alone, alone and great.
There are many wonderful stories. Behind each story, I see people who do their best to live in harsh nature, and try their best to use their wisdom and courage. Times are changing, and now the natural environment is quietly changing, but they will always be those who are best able to adapt to changes in the environment. I also saw their simple, contented joy - the luck of Lakita risking her life to cut a corbel from a lion's prey, Tet's tingling right hand touching the sticky The touch of honey was the color of Stankin and the two children looking at the roof of the school not far away in the white glacier, and the stormy waves when Benjamin jumped with his spear and stabbed the whale. These may be the most primitive happiness of human beings. Today, although cities have become the main body of the earth, the skills and spirit of people living in nature should never be forgotten. On the contrary, we should always remind ourselves of their existence. Only in this way can we fully appreciate In this real world, when encountering a little setback in modern society, it reminds oneself that in another corner of the world, a more cruel reality is being played out.
Yesterday, I was touched by the words of the Pope on Christmas Day"Dans une société souvent éprise de consommation et de plaisir, d'abondance et de luxe, d'apparence et de narcissism, Dieu nous appellee à un comportement sobre, c' est-à-dire simple, équilibré, coherent, capable de saisir et de vivre l'essentiel.” My humble translation is “In a society that is often full of consumption, entertainment, abundance, luxury, superficiality and self-indulgence, God calls us To live a simple life, that is to say, a simple, balanced and cohesive life, one should feel the essence of life and experience the essence of life." No matter the flashy changes in society, we only need to remember the original intention of life and the purpose of life. fundamental.
As the New Year is approaching, I hope we all face the world with a broader mind. Tell yourself, even if the environment is difficult, keep your heart clean, and remember, don't lose and don't forget.
