Yu Minhong's inspirational classic: living for the sacred mission behind life

When we taste delicious salmon at the dinner table, we may rarely think of a touching life story about them.
Every four years in October, the calm waters of the Adams River in the upper reaches of the Fresser River in Canada have become boiling. Thousands of salmon have flowed up the Pacific Ocean and come here to breed. The silvery white fish of the salmon turned scarlet in the process of going upstream, and the whole water surface became red because there were too many fish.
The life of salmon is amazing! Starting from the eggs - each female can produce about 4,000 or so eggs and try to hide them under the pebbles. A large number of fish are eaten as delicious by other fish and birds. The fish eggs spend the winter under the stones and grow into juvenile fish. When the spring comes, they will flow down the river and enter the freshwater lake. They will spend about a year in the lake and then flow down into the sea. In the lake, although they hide from Tibet, most of the juveniles still cannot escape the fate of being prey. Three out of every four fish entering the lake are eaten, and only one can enter the sea. The danger did not stop, and entering the vast sea, it entered a more dangerous area. In the boundless North Pacific, they struggle to grow up, facing the daily attacks of whales, seals and other fish; and there are more dangerous fishing boats that threaten their lives. For four years, they have gone through countless hardships to grow into mature salmon of about three kilograms.
After maturity, an intrinsic call made them begin their journey home. At the beginning of October, all the mature salmon gathered in the mouth of the Freser River and swam to their birthplace. Since entering the estuary, they no longer eat anything, and they are rushing to the road, and going upstream will consume almost all their energy and strength. They have to continually jump from the water to get through the rapids and shoals. Some fish jumped to the shore and became the food of other animals. Some fish died before they reached their destination. They died with them. Thousands of fish eggs in the pool. Of the four thousand eggs that were originally produced by females, only two survived and eventually returned to the spawning ground. After arriving at the spawning ground, they started to double-pair digging pits to insemination and fertilize regardless of the rest. After the insemination of the spawning, the salmon died and exhausted, ending the death journey only for the breeding of the next generation. Winter is coming, snow covers the earth, and the whole world becomes quiet. Under the quiet river, new life begins to grow.
The life of salmon is full of danger and tragicness. They overcome various difficulties and avoid countless dangers. At the last moments of life, they fight against water, return to spawn, and end their lives. Perhaps this is genetic and genetic, not a conscious spiritual consciousness. However, this phenomenon is still moving in the eyes of the human being, which makes us think and inspire. The life of a salmon runs through a clear main line of life: growth, regardless of the growth of all kinds of difficulties and obstacles; experience, no matter how unpredictable the sea, the experience of swimming from the calm lake to the sea, to complete the life stages of the life; mission No matter how many obstacles, you must complete the mission of a lifetime, return to the birthplace to breed, even at the expense of life. The main line of life makes the life of a salmon spectacular.
In the process of human life, there should also be a very clear main line of life. We should strive to grow and mature our life at all costs. To mature, we should experience, experience nature, humanities, society and history, and make our lives change. Perfect; we need a sense of mission, living not just to live, there is a mission behind our lives, this mission may be different, but in the ultimate sense, it should be the same, for us and Our descendants live happily in a harmonious and natural world. Maybe we don't need to live at the cost of life like a salmon, but the sacredness of accomplishing this mission should be more serious and unshakable than the salmon's return to spawn.
In real life, too many people forget that they need to grow, become lazy, bored and mediocre; too many people forget that they should go through, become timid, narrow and stubborn; too many people forget The mission that I have undertaken has become pale, confused, and lost. The thousands of people who came to the river in the season of salmon returning, while watching the salmon fight and die, did they get a little bit of insight from them and began to think about their own life again?
