The relationship between man and nature has always been very delicate. As the top of the food chain, humans rely on nature, but they often do things that provoke nature. Hunting and killing, destroying the ecological balance, setting fire to mountains, etc., for their own benefit, make a mess of beautiful nature.
But to know how small human beings are in the face of nature, the damage they have done will eventually be rewarded. In the 1950s of the last century, there was a "Hundred Tigers Walled Village" incident in Hunan, and it is said that more than 2,000 people died tragically at the mouth of the tiger, is this nature's revenge on human beings or is there another reason? Let's take a look at what's going on.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > develop agriculture and destroy animal homes</h1>
In the 1950s, not long after the founding of New China, the whole country was in ruins, and at this time, the land reform was at its climax. After so many years, the peasants can finally stop working for the landlords and finally have their own land, so everyone is doing a good job.
There was not enough land for themselves, so people began to reclaim other undeveloped lands, and the barren mountain fields that were uninhabited were transformed into farming. However, this has led to the destruction of the habitat of a large number of wild animals, which have lost their homes and have to flee in all directions.
Some invaded people's villages to frighten many villagers, and some ran to the fields to destroy crops. Among them, wild tigers, led by tigers, first began to launch a fierce attack on the human field. The farmers were miserable and thought of ways to guard against the attacks of these wild animals.
Even the government has made calls to fight tigers, organized tiger teams and rewarded them with bounties. So since then, people have started their own counterattacks, and a man-tiger war has gradually begun. Later, according to statistics, at that time, one of the teams alone fought more than one hundred and sixty tigers in a few years.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="10" > rumors of "Baihuwei Village"</h1>
At that time, there were rumors that the tiger fighting team attacked the tiger, which eventually led to the "Hundred Tigers Surrounding the Village", resulting in more than 2,000 people tragically dying in the mouth of the tiger, causing huge losses.
Rumor has it that it happened in the autumn of 1957 in a small village in Tongdao County, Hunan Province. It's the autumn harvest season, everyone is busy doing farm work in the fields, hoarding grain for winter, and no one can imagine what kind of challenge they will face.
In addition to growing grain and vegetables on weekdays in this village, hunting is also the main job of most farmers. It just so happens that the village is surrounded by a large mountain, and there are not only hares and wild boars on the mountain, but also some wolves and tigers. At that time, people did not have too much awareness of the natural ecological balance, and wantonly destroyed nature, but they did not know how small human beings were in front of nature.
So some men in the village organized themselves into a tiger fighting team, so that they could not only protect their families from being attacked by wild beasts, protect their livestock from being eaten by wild animals, but also put the beaten tigers in the town to sell to subsidize the family.
One day, the villagers hit a small tiger while hunting in the mountains. The little tiger looks very pleasant, soft fur, sharp eyes, white and fat very cute. So people are ready to raise it up, and its fur will surely sell for a good price.
But the tiger is grumpy by nature, biting when it sees people, and at the same time longing for freedom, and it is constantly struggling in its cage. During the period, some people went to feed it, and it bit and scratched people across the cage, and the villagers began to fear that if one day it escaped, it would not bite more people, and after repeated consultation, the tiger team disposed of the little tiger.
However, it should be known that animals are also human, human mothers know to protect their children, and tigers will avenge their cubs. This little tiger is a cub that was not long after birth and still needs to be taken care of by the mother, and the child must be in a hurry when the tiger mother loses it. So smell the smell, there are big tigers looking for "revenge".
At that time, after killing the little tiger, people found that the blood of this little tiger was black, so some feudal superstitious old people proposed that this tiger was of extraordinary origin, perhaps the son of the tiger king on this mountain. As soon as the big tiger appeared, some people exclaimed that it was the tiger king's tiger who had brought the swarm of tigers to take revenge.
The tiger searched for the child in the mountains for several days without success, so he found the small village and quickly surrounded it. Although the child was not found, the animals were born with a keen sense of smell, and they determined that the child was in the village, so they kept walking back and forth around the village to observe the situation.
There are more than eighty villagers in the village, in addition to the strong men who fight the tiger team, there are also some elderly people, women and children. Knowing that the village was surrounded by tigers, these vulnerable groups were the first to be frightened and rushed home to close their doors and did not dare to go out. However, the tigers are also very patient, wandering outside all day and not willing to leave.
At night, no one dared to go out, not even the lights, for fear of attracting the attention of the tiger. However, it should be known that cats have a stronger ability to fight at night. People thought that these tigers would leave at night, but they did not expect that the tigers did not leave, but also took advantage of no one at night and used their combat advantages at night to boldly enter the village.
They wantonly bit the villagers' livestock, trampled the vegetables in the yard into a mess, and for a time the chickens and dogs in the village jumped, which was very restless. Villagers were terrified and vigilant at home, and some of the elderly had a heart attack due to excessive tension. At present, even many young adults of the tiger team were frightened by this face, and they did not dare to go out when they hid at home.
According to the current situation, if the tigers were to be destroyed like this, sooner or later they would invade the villagers' homes and harm humans and destroy the entire village. So some bold people spontaneously organized themselves to go to a family in the village with rich hunting experience, and this person was Chen Qifang, the main force of the tiger fighting team.
Chen Qifang is young and strong, and has many years of experience in hunting, at first he set traps to poison the tiger, but the tiger has not been deceived. So he took out his ultimate weapon: a shotgun, and he thought that since we had weapons and courage and many young men in the village, everything was ready, what was so terrible about this tiger? So he made his own decision and led the people to take the initiative to drive them away.
So they began the counter-offensive phase. Bullets are limited, Chen Qifang pointed out that it is necessary to hit the leading tiger first, and the remaining tigers will naturally disperse without organization after the dragons are leaderless. A group of people set up a shelf in the distance and began to shoot at the tiger group. But unexpectedly, this shot provoked them even more, and they launched an even more frantic attack on the village.
They began all kinds of retaliatory and violent destruction, not only killing all the livestock, but also tearing down some buildings, and for a time the village was in a mess, and the casualties were huge. Later, this group of tigers still found the body of the little tiger, the skin of the little tiger was cruelly peeled off, the whole body was bloody, the appearance was very tragic, presumably the parents of the little tiger saw this tragic situation is also very sad, the hatred of human beings can be imagined.
Eventually the tigers left the village with the tigers and returned to their mountains. In fact, the whole thing looks down, more sympathy and understanding of the tigers. In fact, sometimes tigers are more afraid of humans than people are afraid of tigers. They usually don't actively attack humans, which is often too costly, and they only do this to retrieve their children.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > sentient beings and protect the natural ecology</h1>
Soon this matter was spread from the village, and all parts of the country knew about it, causing quite a stir in the outside world. Many media are scrambling to report on this matter, but at the same time, there are too many unexplained points, so some people question this, after all, many things will be exaggerated after passing through the clouds.
Later, professional zoologists pointed out that according to the habits of tigers, the possibility of Baihuwei Village is very small. As we all know, tigers do not like to flock to groups like wolves, and there are high and low nobles in the team, and a wolf king will be selected. Tigers are solitary animals and are usually solitary. However, the tiger is very protective, and there is still a possibility that a tiger will take revenge. However, tigers are not human beings, there is no so-called group consciousness, and it is too illogical for a group of tigers to avenge a small tiger.
Besides, if more than two thousand people were attacked by wild beasts, would the local government ignore the question and let this happen? This must be impossible. The village is in a remote mountainous area, there are only more than eighty people in total, how can there be a tragic situation of two thousand people? Therefore, things cannot stand up to scrutiny, and some people have come to the village to find out the truth in order to seek verification.
After asking the local villagers about the ins and outs, the truth finally came out. Locals said that tigers did attack that year, but things were not as exaggerated as the outside world. At that time, a small tiger was indeed captured, and then people thought that the big tiger came to find the child, which caused people a little fear, but it was not long before the big tiger found its child and was driven away.
However, this story has been passed down from people's mouths to people, and the more it has been passed on, the more it has become more and more divine, and it has gradually become deified among many people. In fact, the truth may just be because the wild beasts in the mountains have been beaten up by the people, and the tigers have come to the village to forage for food because of hunger.
It can be seen from this how terrible the rumor is, and one thing is repeatedly exaggerated in people's mouths, and eventually it snowballs bigger and bigger. Although this matter was eventually debunked, but there is no wonder in the world, if the tiger group is replaced by a wolf pack, the possibility of occurrence is still greatly existent, so from this matter we can not just treat it as a new thing, but we must wake up from it.
Today, due to the large-scale hunting and killing of people, the number of tigers has become smaller and smaller, and within a hundred years, it has decreased by more than ninety-five percent. Today, there are only twenty wild Siberian tigers left in China, and even the South China tigers that people once hated can only be seen in zoos. At present, tigers are on the verge of extinction and have become protected animals in our country, which is in stark contrast to the bounty hunting organized by the tiger fighting team in previous years, which makes people shake their heads and sigh.
In fact, many animals are psychic, they are all alive and emotional, like humans they will also be sad and happy. As people at the top of the food chain, what we have to do is not to conquer them, but to protect them. We are born in nature, we must conform to nature and protect its ecological balance, rather than trying to rule it and conquer it. In the face of nature, human beings are so small that sometimes it is counterproductive to wantonly destroy.
Although there are fictional parts in this story, after reading it, my heart is still a little sad. Many times, people do whatever they want with their own scientific and technological advantages, never stand in the position of animals to consider things, and do not know that people have sorrows and joys and animals also have feelings.
However, in today's society, as society progresses more and more, people's thinking is becoming more and more advanced. In the past few years, the destruction of nature by human beings has all received corresponding retribution, resulting in people's awareness of environmental protection becoming stronger and stronger now, and primary school textbooks are teaching people to protect the environment. Therefore, in the process of development, we must ensure that we conform to the laws of nature, and the harmonious coexistence between man and nature is the best situation.
