Just after the new year, so many things have happened, it seems to indicate that the Year of the Rat is destined to be an eventful autumn. The middle east is not stopping, Syria and Iran are raging, Iranian missiles shot down the passenger plane without surviving, the Turkish passenger plane rushed out of the runway chinese passengers were injured, the Australian mountain fire has been burning through the New Year or not, the three Kobe Bryant died at the beginning of the New Year, so that fans around the world are sad. Yang yang China is not spared, the epidemic swept through, everyone is in danger, everyone is closed to thank guests, the gossip about the epidemic changes, the highway is cut off, the checkpoints are lined up, and the street becomes quiet from the sound of people.... The only thing that has not changed is pork, the price is still so high, boosting the CPI over 5.
If there is a benefit to this epidemic, it is that every Chinese has received a practical health education, and at the same time, the majority of wanderers who are out of the house have more time to reunite with their relatives and can't leave if they want to, I think this should be the best reason to ask the boss for leave.
Speaking of the severity of this epidemic has far exceeded the SARS of that year, the number of infections and deaths are not low, but compared with the historical plague and cholera, the destructiveness is not high, in fact, China's provisions of the Class A infectious diseases are only the above two, SARS and the new coronavirus is estimated to be the most Class B, to know that the plague in Europe is the famous Black Death, raging in Europe for more than a thousand years, the cumulative death data is estimated to be close to 200 million, until now has not been truly eliminated, The plague was introduced to the mainland in Manchuria by Russian fur traders in the early 20th century, killing more than 60,000 people in Harbin that year.
At that time, we were still the Qing Dynasty, although the Qing Dynasty was weak, but the success of the fight against the plague was exemplary, when the entire Daowai district of Harbin became an isolation area, and after there was no place, we borrowed Russian train cars, and barely survived in the stove, and people died to prevent the spread of the virus and directly burned it. Although more than 60,000 people died, it is considered a successful battle against the plague internationally, and the quarantine system is widely accepted worldwide.
There is also Keshan disease, many people may not know, this disease is the child's favorite, the common name --- up, after getting to the rapid treatment, otherwise the fatality rate is extremely high, the time will not exceed 3 days, and now this disease has disappeared. Looking back at history and looking at the present, although the new coronavirus is fierce, the medical conditions on the mainland have long been different from the past, and the strength of the country is very important in today's world, and I believe that containing and completely eliminating the virus is beyond doubt.
Viruses are not terrible, in fact, what is even more terrible is the soil in which viruses are produced. Why are new viruses created? What if new viruses continue to emerge after the soil in which the viruses are produced is eliminated? That's what we should think about the most.
When we were young, people's life expectancy was certainly not as high as it is now, but there were not as many diseases as they are now. Especially in the past ten years, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in our northeast, the incidence is extremely high, if calculated according to the proportion of population I believe it is absolutely the world's crown. All kinds of cancer frequently, light in my hometown of a small village, these years to hear, absolutely no less than 15 people, this year before the Spring Festival in the neighborhood of a civil servant is only 46 years old, is also cancer, died, leaving two children, hey... And the tendency of the sick to get younger and younger is really frightening. Cerebral blood vessels are blocked more, two of my relatives are unfortunate to suffer from this disease, the life with mild symptoms can take care of themselves, the severe patients are bedridden for many years, staying up for three years and five years after a life whining, at this time the pain of people is difficult to describe, that is, even suicide is not available, at this time people are a decaying wood, there are thoughts but can not move, waiting for death, sad and pitiful!
These diseases existed decades ago, but the incidence is very low, I think this is definitely a warning given to us by nature, God wants to let it perish, must first let it go crazy, now we have reached the edge of madness, we must change our way of life and production, but many people are still obsessed, if we do not wake up, lost, sooner or later a greater disaster will come, not alarmist also!
There is no unprovoked love in the world and there is no unprovoked hate, everything happens has its own causes and inevitable results, the Buddhists say "cause" and "cause and effect", in fact, is the objective development law of things, not superstition, the relentless ravages of the virus is also the same! The reason for this lies in the inexhaustible plundering of nature by human beings, the brutal slaughter of wild animals and plants, and the wanton destruction of the environment. Woodland grassland has become arable land and industrial land, ordinary animals needless to say, Chinese cuisine has long been put on the table, tiger bone bear bile has long been coveted by humans, and now the mainland is difficult to find. Recently, I learned that bats that are disgusting even at first glance can cook, and at this time, my generation who have seen shallow knowledge really don't know whether to praise the richness of Chinese cuisine or to spit on the greed of the people of the country. In addition, the development of economic and industrial civilization has indeed improved life, but the human environment itself has also been greatly damaged.
The UK was the world's first industrial country, but London, known as the "Fog Capital" a hundred years ago, has only improved until now. In recent years, the mainland has a trend of following in its footsteps, and the air pollution is serious, especially in the winter in the north, when the heating season comes, the air is always filled with smoke, there is a burning smell, and the nose is choked. Although as early as 1997, the world's major countries jointly formulated the Kyoto Protocol and set up emission reduction tasks, but the results were minimal, and the environment did not fundamentally improve. Now people's basic life and consumption have improved too much, but if you think about it, as soon as you go out, you breathe dirty air, avoid the terrible virus that doesn't know where, everyone wears a stuffy thick mask, and when you enter the door, you have to clean up all over the body, the smoke is cloudy all day, and even the sun is not available, so where does happiness come from?
The environmental damage in the cities is heart-wrenching, as is the countryside, and even more so! Spring Festival home and parents chat are lamented, now life is good, eating, wearing and drinking do not have to worry, is the luxury of the past such as cars in the countryside can also be seen everywhere, families with children basically have a car to pick up children to and from school, slightly wealthier families have hundreds of thousands of savings are very common things. At the same time, the hardened pavement, street lights, garbage bins, and brick houses in the countryside are clean and refreshing from a distance, and there are special people in the village who are responsible for rural sanitation, and everywhere is clean. It is true that the environment is good on the surface, but in fact it is not, and the degree of environmental damage in the countryside is shocking.
For example, our northeast Songnen Plain is one of the continent's and the world's few commodity grain bases, first because of the large area of plains, and secondly because the soil conditions here are particularly good, and it is one of only three black lands in the world. This black soil is made up of thousands of years of decay and accumulation of animals and plants, and people used chopsticks to describe its fertility as the germination of chopsticks. But in recent years, due to the heavy use of chemical fertilizers to increase production, the land has not been able to recuperate, resulting in a decrease in the black soil layer every year, and this reduction is as irreversible as non-renewable minerals such as petroleum and coal. In the past, farmers applied farm manure, although the yield was not as high as it is now, but the land was nourished, and the black soil layer would not be reduced. There is also a lot less wildlife in the countryside.
I remember before the nineties, there were many toads in the countryside, there was a big pit in the south of my house, the pit was filled with water in the summer when it rained, and a lot of unknown plants grew, among which there were countless toads, jumping around during the day, and at night, the whole pit became a boiling ocean, countless large and small toads desperately shouted, wow, one call and one night, people can't sleep. Some toads are very large, bulging up and down a lot of large bags, the appearance is so ugly, children will take something to beat him, then he will jump into the water, now we know that this is the toad, is a very useful medicinal material. Walking in the field, I often see frogs, some are blue, very beautiful, there are also black, there are small red dots on the belly, sometimes I will catch and play, but I will not kill him, because the teacher told us that toads are beneficial insects. But since I went to college, when I returned to my hometown, I had never seen a toad, and I had never heard them bark again at night, and the extravagant hope of relying on toads to retrieve their childhood memories could not be realized.
There are birds, when I was a child to the end of April and the beginning of May, there will be many unknown birds flying from the south, there is a forest in the south of our village, all pine trees, it is said that my grandfather was the captain when he led the whole village to plant, that forest is our children's paradise for children in the village, in the morning the sky is just dark, go to this forest to hit the birds with a slingshot, those birds are very good-looking, colorful, most of them are very small, almost as big as sparrows, but also very large, Large birds with wings half a meter long have also seen a lot, such birds are very intelligent, stop in the secret place you can not find, as soon as you get close, they rush to the sky, startling you.
Of course, this kind of behavior is not advisable, but at the time it was not known, it was just play, there were many birds, I once used a slingshot to beat down 14 birds, and also beat down an owl, in fact, there was no food down, all to the neighbors, now it seems, regret, but think about it, it is also helpless, in the past many years, I had to look forward to the early birth of the wronged soul under the slingshot, good luck in the next life. But now there are very few birds, and they don't come back every spring, and even the swallows are difficult to see.
There are also dragonflies and butterflies, all kinds of different insects, in the past the rural bugs are particularly special, the size is there, there are very thick green heads with two horns, there are hairy, crawling up and down, see the disgusting, some bugs love to lie in the shadows, such as the body of the big poplar tree, under the root of the wall, or under the fence, spring leaves open, bugs do not know where to emerge, the woods are everywhere.
I was most afraid of bugs, and my scalp tingled when I saw them. Once in elementary school, my classmates knew that I was afraid of bugs, so they wrapped a very large bug in a paper ball and put it in my stationery box, and when I came back from the toilet, I told me that it was given to me by so-and-so in our class (class flower, haha), I opened it, scared half to death, and quickly ran to the teacher to complain. But now the bugs are gone, even the mosquitoes are missing. In fact, these are all caused by the excessive application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides by farmers in order to pursue grain production.
From May to July, the whole countryside is full of pesticides, in the past farmers can dig up the mother-in-law (dandelion) to eat, now do not dig, because the above is full of pesticides, ah, how to bite it? Pesticides are used too much, the field does not grow grass, crops grow well, but also eliminate the environment on which various animals depend, less grass, insects are not eaten, so there are fewer insects, fewer insects, toads and birds are not eaten, so toads and birds are also less, it can be said that it is precisely because farmers use too much fertilizer and pesticides, has completely destroyed the ecological environment of the countryside, and the wetlands that existed in the countryside in the past such as wicker forests, poplar forests are now mostly changed to arable land, and farmers for economic interests, This behavior will continue, I think only when the land is compacted, no matter how much fertilizer is used, it will be awakened, but I don't know if it will be time to save the environment at that time, so I can only guess, only God knows...
All of this is because of the economic interests driven by commercial civilization to this point, the social environment and public opinion have brought people an invisible shackle, it seems that only the so-called "success" in the world is what we should pursue, and ignore the environment on which we live, forgetting the suffering of nature, the mother of mankind. The most popular bestsellers on the market now are a bunch of success studies, company management and other things, and in my mind I define this type of book as "garbage" and dismiss it. It is not that I have included such "knowledge" in my conceited chest, but that all these things are too much, annoying, watered and brainwashed when I go to school, in my opinion, it has almost the function of ecstasy soup, making people forget themselves, lose themselves, find no direction in life, and what they really want. Life is only a few decades, why should I be burdened by it, it is really not worth the loss.
Nature is the mother of mankind, and man is the child of nature. The child makes the mother angry and distressed, and if she wants to educate the child well, she will inevitably be given a small punishment. I think this is the case with the novel coronavirus and the frequent diseases in recent years. Therefore, we must be in awe of nature, be kind to nature, and be kind to ourselves.
In the afternoon, I went to the community with all my arms, I don't know whose family sprinkled millet on the ground, dozens of sparrows scrambled to eat, saw people coming, flew up the branches, chirped non-stop, a sound of joy, hoping that all living beings could be treated like these sparrows. The temperature has risen, the snow has melted a lot, and the day when the spring flowers bloom is not far away...
