In the far west of China, there is a desert known as the "Sea of Death" - Lop Nur. The yellow sand here is so long and barren that it is almost unimaginable that humans can survive on this land. However, in this seemingly barren land, there lives a group of resilient indigenous people. They eat fish for a living, and despite living in such harsh conditions, most of the village's elders live to be 100 years old.
The indigenous people of Lop Nur have lived in this sea of death for generations. Thousands of years ago, their ancestors discovered the hidden life beneath this land – a lake hidden by sand dunes and inhabited by an endemic species of fish. The fish became the main source of food for the indigenous people and the secret of their life on the land.
Amur is a young fisherman in the village of Lop Nur who learned the art of fishing from his father from an early age. In Amur's memory, every fishing was an intimate encounter with nature. They would row small boats deep into the middle of the lake and catch the cruising fish with special nets. Every time they return from fishing, the village elders and children gather around to share this hard-won delicacy.
Amur's father was one of the longest-lived elders in the village, over 100 years old, but still in good spirits. He often told Amur that eating fish was the secret of their longevity. This fish is delicious, nutritious, and contains a special substance that strengthens the body's immunity. As a result, despite living in such a difficult environment, they are able to maintain their health and longevity.
However, the environment in Lop Nur is deteriorating. The amount of water in the lake is decreasing year by year, and the number of fish is also declining. Amur knew that if this continued, their survival would be at great risk. He began to think about how to protect the land and the lake so that the indigenous people of Lop Nur could continue to live.
Amr decided to lead the young people of the village in their efforts. They began to study how to improve the water quality of the lake and increase the number of fish. They tried to introduce new fish species to improve the ecology of the lake. At the same time, they also actively publicized the plight of Lop Nur to the outside world, hoping to attract more people's attention and help.
However, their efforts do not seem to have had the desired effect. The amount of water in the lake is still decreasing, and the number of fish is not increasing significantly. Amr began to feel lost and hopeless, and he wondered if they would be able to survive on the land.
Just when Amr was in despair, an outside scholar came to Lop Nur. He saw the plight of the indigenous people of Lop Nur and their efforts to protect their homeland. The scholar decided to help them find a solution.
After a long period of research and exploration, scholars have discovered a new way to increase the number of fish by improving the ecological environment of the lake. They started implementing the program and the results were remarkable. The amount of water in the lake is gradually recovering, and the number of fish is increasing.
Amr and the villagers see hope, and they continue their efforts to protect the land and the lake. They are also beginning to learn new fishing techniques to improve fishing efficiency while reducing damage to the lake.
However, the story of Lop Nur does not end there. Amur knew that they needed to work hard to keep the land and their home alive. He also began to think about how to pass on the story of Lop Nur to more people, so that more people can understand and pay attention to the miracle of life in this sea of death.
This story makes us deeply reflect on the relationship between humans and nature. Should we respect and protect the natural environment more? Should we pay more attention to the living conditions of those who live in difficult environments? The story of Lop Nur tells us that every life has its value and meaning, and we should respect and protect them.
At the same time, the story of Lop Nur also makes us think about how to balance the relationship between development and protection in modern society. We cannot destroy the natural environment for the sake of economic gain, nor can we ignore the survival needs of those who live in harsh environments. Only by finding a balance can humans live in harmony with nature.
Finally, let's go back to the title "In the 'Sea of Death' Lop Nur Aboriginal people, eat fish all their lives, and most of the old people in the village live to be 100 years old". This story makes us wonder what made the indigenous people of Lop Nur survive in this sea of death, whether it was the perseverance, the reverence and respect for nature, or the secret of longevity given to them by the special fish, and perhaps all of these factors played a role. But more importantly, the story of Lop Nur reminds us to respect and protect every living life and natural environment, so that they can survive and thrive.
