A teenager and snakes as a companion, spend spring and autumn together, in the deep mountains of Yunnan, Bai Tuo is an ordinary teenager, but has an unusual way of life and lives with 25 snakes, he sleeps with pythons, eats with cobras, but has not been harmed for ten years. What kind of courage and wisdom is it that allows a man to live peacefully with the most feared creature of nature?
In an inconspicuous mountain village in Pu'er, Yunnan Province, Bai Tuo is like a realistic version of "survival in the wilderness". However, his survival companion turned out to be a snake that people are generally afraid of. Bai Tuo's first in-depth contact with snakes occurred one afternoon when he was still a junior high school student. At that time, a cobra with a length of more than one meter suddenly appeared in the house, and this scene was definitely the beginning of a nightmare for most people, but Bai Tuo aroused his curiosity.
Bai Tuo is not an ordinary mountain child, he has been running in the wild since he was a child, and he has an inseparable love and awe for nature. Not only was he not afraid of the sudden cobra, but he tried to communicate with it. He slowly mimicked the snake's voice, trying to ease the tension with each other. This bold and intuitive behavior is the result of years of studying and observing wildlife. And this time, his calmness and bravery allow him to create a peculiar connection with the cobra.
In the days that followed, Bai Tuo's life began to be different. He began rescuing and adopting snakes that were injured or homeless. I remember one time, he found a wounded Burmese python in the mountains, this python was not only huge, but also scarred. Bai Tuo was not afraid at all, he used the knowledge he learned about survival in the wild to treat the wounds of the python, and even made his own herbs to help the python recover its health. This behavior of his is not only a reverence for nature, but also a respect for life.
Bai Tuo's home soon became a "snake nest", and he ate and slept with these snakes. Although this behavior seems extremely crazy to outsiders, Bai Tuo and his snake get along very harmoniously. Through continuous observation and practice, he gradually found a way to live peacefully with snakes. He knows how to deal with snakes' food, how to take proper care of them when they are sick, and can even decipher their mood changes.
This unique way of living with snakes has made Bai Tuo famous in the local area. Although the people of the village were initially incomprehensible to his actions, as time passed, they began to admire Bai Tuo's deep understanding of nature and his spirit of defying difficulties. Bai Tuo is also happy to share his experience, and he often explains to people how to handle wild snakes safely and how to protect themselves without harming them. He has become a good story in the village, and even a school has invited him to teach about wildlife conservation.
During the ten years of living with snakes, Bai Tuo gradually became a fearless "snake whisperer". Not only can he accurately sense the emotions of snakes, but he can even predict their behavior. Although his lifestyle is very unconventional, he proves that man and nature can coexist in harmony. Under his influence, more and more people began to re-examine their relationship with wild animals and began to realize that humans and nature are not always opposites.
Bai Tuo is not only about a teenager and his snake friend, but also a manifestation of a deep respect and understanding for the natural environment. Through his actions, he tells people that every life deserves to be respected, and every life has its own value for existence. His experience has inspired many to rethink how to live in harmony with nature and how to find ways to live with wildlife in the modern world.
Bai Tuo's life was not entirely peaceful. Such close encounters with wild animals are always fraught with unpredictable risks. Although Bai Tuo has a lot of experience, every time he comes into contact with wild snakes, it is a challenge to death. Although his courage and wisdom have allowed him to save the day many times, this extreme way of life has undoubtedly brought a great threat to his safety. And Bai Tuo seems to have his own opinion on this, he believes that as long as you know enough about nature, nature will not hurt you.
Bai Tuo once said that his relationship with snakes transcends the traditional boundaries between humans and animals, and they are more like family. Perhaps to many people, this way of life is incomprehensible and even a little crazy. However, Bai Tuo is a profound reflection on the relationship between modern man and nature. In the fast-paced, high-tech era, Bai Tuo uses his way to show the possibility of returning to nature and respecting life.
Bai Tuo is not only an abnormal story of juvenile growth, but also a profound reflection on the natural world. In his world, the snake is no longer a symbol of terror, but a companion who lives with humans. Through this life experience, Bai Tuo not only challenges people's inherent fear of wild animals, but also redefines the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
