For 10 years, a penguin came to the beach in June and left again in February, spanning thousands of miles without interruption. Did it come here to give birth and build a nest, or was it for some other reason? Why is it so persistent?
On the beach in the summer, a grandfather and a penguin play in the water, the penguin kisses the old man's mouth with his mouth, and then the penguin lies on the old man's body and waits for the old man to bathe him with water.
The penguin regards the grandfather as his own private property, and does not allow anyone to come near, and whoever approaches it will peck at whom with his mouth. A cute look, very cute.
In May 2011, when Grandpa Joe came ashore fishing, he found a penguin covered with oil, the oil had covered it all, and the feathers were all stuck together, and he couldn't swim in the water, his mouth and nose were covered with oil, and it was difficult to breathe and eat. If it is not rescued in time, it will be life-threatening.
Grandpa Joe looked at the weak penguin with pity, helped it remove the oil from the feathers little by little, and removed the oil from the nose and mouth, and the little penguin was finally able to breathe and eat freely.
Grandpa Joe catches fresh little fish every day to feed the penguins, and the penguins' bodies slowly get better. He named it "Jingjing". A month later, Grandpa Qiao felt that Jingjing had almost recovered, so he took Jingjing to a nearby island and released Jingjing.
This afternoon, Grandpa Joe heard a squeak in the backyard. He went to the backyard to see that it was Jingjing, who had just been released that day, and he had squeaked at his grandfather. Grandpa Qiao felt that this was his fate with Jingjing, so he let Jingjing live in Grandpa Qiao's house.
Grandpa Qiao catches fresh fish for Jingjing to eat every day, and Jingjing happily follows grandpa every day, as if she is a grandfather and grandson. When he was happy, he squeaked at grandpa and jumped at grandpa.
One day in February of the following year, Jingjing suddenly disappeared, and Grandpa searched for a long time and did not find it, and did not know where Jingjing went.
A few months later, in June, suddenly one day Grandpa Joe heard a squeaking sound in the backyard again, Grandpa Joe couldn't believe it, was it Jingjing back? Grandpa Qiao hurried to the backyard, and Grandpa Qiao was ecstatic: "It's Jingjing, yes, it's Jingjing." Jingjing screamed at Grandpa Qiao even more vigorously, and jumped around happily. They were reunited.
Since then, jingjing returned in late June every year and left in February of the following year, and no one knows where he went.
Later Grandpa Joe consulted the experts. It turned out that Jingjing was a Magellan penguin, usually arriving on the coasts of Argentina and Chile every February to breed, and the breeding ground was nearly 10,000 miles away from the coast where Grandpa Joe lived.
No one knows what kind of danger Jingjing will have to go through to return to Grandpa Qiao, because in the sea he will be preyed by seals from time to time, and there are many unknown dangers. Even though the road is so far, so dangerous and difficult, it still comes back on time every June. Jingjing was so grateful to Grandpa Joe for saving his life.
When it was with Grandpa Joe, it was happy like a child, waiting for Grandpa to feed the fish, where Grandpa went, wherever it followed, not letting anyone else approach Grandpa. She seemed to be swearing to someone else: This is my grandfather. His mouth kept squeaking.
Every time Jingjing left, people said that Jingjing would not come back, but every year Jingjing risked the danger to come to see her grandfather and never missed the appointment. It comes every June, goes in February, so affectionately, year after year, year by year eager to see its savior Grandpa Joe.
Grandpa Qiao has also regarded Jingjing as a family member. Every time Jingjing returns, Grandpa Joe will take it to see sunrise and sunset, play on the beach, splash in the water together, just like the grandfather and grandson, and also become a beautiful scenery on the seashore.
Everything is spiritual, and people and animals can live in harmony and love each other. Protecting animals is humanity's duty, and it's part of protecting the planet.
Love creates a legend between humans and animals, affection does not need to be accompanied at all times, and they will be separated and reunited. The journey back is long, but he has never lost his promise, because there is love calling.
Animals still have this true feeling, and if human beings were like this, there would be a lot less strife and a lot more harmony and warmth.
