A thirst for good food

No one expected that the Spring Festival in 2020 would be a year of flu and panic.

At present, the source of new pneumonia in Wuhan is unknown, but its symptoms are very similar to those of SARS in 2003. The source of SARS in 2003 has been traced by scientists on 17, and it is said that it is the Chinese chrysanthemum bat. This bat was supposed to be far away from humans. But I didn't expect that the coronavirus on this bat, after many twists and turns, actually came to people's dining tables. According to scientists' guesses, the coronavirus from China Bat has spread to civets for some reason. People who love game are infected with this virus when they contact and eat civets. This virus should not exist in people. When the virus reached its new host, it began to multiply wildly. Coupled with strong infectivity, it once caused great disaster.

I still remember that in 2003, when I was in the third grade, everyone was busy preparing for the senior high school entrance examination. Everyone panicked at the news that the teacher popularized this new type of pneumonia. At that time, the first thing we did when we entered the classroom every day was to take our temperature, and the students with fever were taken away and isolated. I never believed that I prayed for the virus to stay away from myself and my family every day during that time. I still remember the day when the senior high school entrance examination entered the examination room. I passed the temperature test and successfully entered the examination room. I was relieved, but I still heard that someone had been taken away with a fever and my heart was still pounding in the examination room. That was the first time I realized that "death" was so close to me.

2003 passed by in a hurry. If we don't pay attention, we don't even realize that 65438+2007 has passed. It is estimated that no one expected that this winter after 17, similar viruses made a comeback. According to scientists, the most likely source of this virus is the game on the table. It's really frustrating to see this conclusion. What made the tragedy repeat itself after 17?

Someone left an indignant message on the Internet: "Why do you want to eat strange things? Are chickens, ducks, fish, geese, sheep, cows and pigs not delicious? " The answer is obvious. In today's rich material resources, human greed is endless. Pursuing novelty, excitement and constantly challenging the limits, human beings have used these passions that should have been used in creativity to satisfy their appetite.

When I was a child, I heard from my grandfather that when there were not enough materials, people often picked up shotguns and went into the mountains to shoot some pheasants and rabbits to eat. This is a gift from Dashan, because it won't starve to death. Therefore, when I was a child, the first important thing for my family was to "respect heaven". Today, however, people take the initiative to extend their greedy hands to the habitats of animals, wantonly plundering and brutally killing them. Leading to the disappearance of forests and the extinction of animals. We don't feel guilty about this, and gratitude has long been forgotten behind selfishness.

Two years ago, I had the opportunity to meet many environmentalists and photographers. They travel across mountains and rivers, record some precious species, and are also committed to calling on people to love nature and protect animals. Under their lens, I saw too much cruelty and slaughter of human beings and witnessed the pain and helplessness of too many animals.

Behind these photos and images are human cruelty, greed, arrogance and hubris. When observing the truth, you can't remember the so-called goodness of human nature. It was a painful memory for me.

A friend asked me, "If you feel cruel, isn't everyone a vegetarian?" I have never been a vegetarian. Most of us are ordinary people with an appetite. Only when you satisfy your desires should you always remind yourself to be grateful.

People always have to understand what they can and can't do to become a person.
