The stubborn life between the rocks often touches me to tears

It was the uncertain wind that scattered the unpicked seeds to the ends of the sea. When they can no longer find the soil, they pin their last hope in this crevice. Although they can also share warmth from the sun and get moisture from the rain, only the soil on which all life depends has to be found on their own. The reality they face is so grim.

As a result, an amazing miracle appeared in nature, and stubborn lives grew among the barren rocks.

Or just clusters of unknown weeds, green in spring and yellow in autumn, and withered and flourished every year. They do not have the conditions to grow broad leaves, because they can’t find enough nutrients to make grass blades thicker. What they have is only three or two long thin thin leaves. The tiny veins tell you how difficult it is to survive. What's more, they grow roots on their own under clusters of thin leaves, just to avoid sucking a little milk from the mother, they go to find the hard-to-detect cracks in the stone. This is life. If this is an instinct, then it shows how noble the instinct of life is. Life has the right to think of itself as magnificent and magnificent, and vitality is so uncontrollable.

Or just a bunch of small mountain flowers, most of which are bitter dandelions. Their stems and leaves are filled with bitter milky white pulp, and their roots are dug up as wild vegetables in the spring. But the dandelions between the rocks are far from growing as strong as the same clan in the field. They cannot grow into tall trunks due to the ferocity of the mountain wind. They cannot have numerous leaves due to the barrenness of the mountains and rocks. Their stems appear tough and old, and their leaves lose their luster due to withering; only their roots are declining. Like the flexible and strong tendons, like the soft but rigid vines, buried deep in the narrow gaps between the rocks; they can no longer serve people with the fresh and tender wild vegetables, but silently climb the mountain trail The person prepared a reliable gripper. In this way, life is regulated and changed by the environment. Although the law of survival of the fittest is ruthless, all the fittest are strong against the environment. The phenomenon of life tells you that life is hard work.

If there are only these small flowers and grasses between the rocks, perhaps it can only arouse people's pity; and the most amazing thing is that there are towering pines and cypresses growing in the gaps between the rocks, majestic and vigorous, majestic and tall. They give the mountains aura and make all life pale in front of them. This is how their torso grow stubbornly from the cracks in the rocks, twisting and rotating, and every inch of the tree coat is covered with scars. Up, up, up is so hard. Every inch of growth has to go through several degrees of cold and heat, several degrees of spring and autumn. However, they finally grew into tall trees, spreading out lush branches and clusters of needles that never fell. They are standing on the cliffs, on the peaks of the high mountains, and only the roots of the trees entangled in the rocky cliffs are silently telling you how hard it is to grow them. The tree roots, thick as a python and thin as a grass snake, are intertwined and intertwined. They pierce through a crack in the stone and drill out from another crack in the stone. Then they extend along the ruthless bluestone, like sharp eagle claws. Caught the rock on which it lives. Sometimes, a pine and cypress has to climb half of the cliff with its roots, as if it is tied tightly with a thick cable, so that they can withstand the storm and rain. Living space that does not belong to oneself occupies a space for oneself.

If all life does not bother to seek a foothold in the crevices of the rocks, then there will be a large area in the world that will become eternal silence, birds will have nowhere to live, and all the lives that rely on flowers and trees to survive will have to Extinct, there will be reduced to eternal darkness on the day of never civilized. If all lives are only greedy for the dark fertile soil, how can they complete their ability to control the environment, and how can they make themselves stronger in the reproduction of generations? The world is so wonderful. Imagine that the weeds between the rocks, once their grass seeds are scattered on the fertile ground, they will be more vigorous than the delicate seeds that have not been tested by wind and rain, and they will grow more luxuriantly; , The dandelions between the rocks, once their seeds, supporting tufts of umbrellas, drift to the humid countryside with the wind, they will grow stronger than other flowers and can withstand the heat and cold; as for that tenaciousness The pine and cypress are the noble manifestation of life, and the perfect symbol of perseverance and will. It inspires and serves as an example to all life.

May all lives not fall into the crevices of the rocks and be desolate. May all lives dare to seek the most difficult environment. Life is to discover and know oneself in the most difficult situation, so as to temper oneself, grow oneself, until finally complete oneself, sublimate oneself.

The tenacious life between the rocks is both biological and philosophical. It is the unity of biology and philosophy. It is also aesthetic. As an aesthetic phenomenon, it shows you not only the layers of greenery that decorate the barren hills and mountains, but it also reveals to you a beautiful and magnificent spiritual world.

The tenacious life among the rocks, it has the emotional power to shock people's hearts so, it makes the planet we live on become magical and brilliant.
