Sparrows are called domestic finches in my hometown, probably because almost every family has a sparrow's nest under the rafters. Sparrows bring a lot of joy to our childhood. We used to sow food on the ground, trap sparrows with laundry baskets, hit sparrows with slingshots, dig sparrows' nests with ladders, and watch adults kill sparrows in the name of "eliminating four pests". Of course, the sparrows in our mouths used to be delicious. Today, we should apologize to them, but sparrows are now second-class protected animals. The following are some inspirations from sparrows, which can be regarded as a small wish.
Speaking of sparrows, they are small and complete. Sparrow is a very small bird, but it exists in all aspects, so we take dissecting sparrow as a working method, which is also advocated by a great man. Seeing the big from the small and knowing the small provide us with practical and effective experience to improve our work efficiency and quality.
Second, talk about the heroic character of sparrows. Sparrows are not destined to be golden birds, nor will they live a life of being raised. They dig in the soil, tread in the snow, look for pests on trees and crops, stand in a row on electric wires, or fall in the yard, or stand full of branches and fall like clouds, which sounds like a gust of wind. They dare to escape in the rain, dare to drill in the clouds, be brave and fearless, and chatter everywhere. Some larger birds are not as good as it in this respect. As for some people who bend over for five buckets of rice and lose face for personal gain, they are really smaller than sparrows.
Third, the sparrow is not a migratory bird, it grows in the place where it was born. No matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, it will not fly south because it is shivering in the north, nor will it return to the north because of the warmth of spring. One side keeps sparrows in water and soil, and never leaves them, and the four seasons change. They are still there. We don't mean that migratory birds chase after warmth and bad flowers, but the survival of the fittest. They are our nature. Some people, however, jump where the branches are high and run where they have interests. Their thoughts are changeable and their interests are forgotten. Their character and integrity are really not as good as sparrows.
Nowadays, sparrows are rarely seen in busy cities. Maybe it's too noisy there, or there are too few places for them to feed, which is not suitable for their survival. In Shan Ye, the beaches and farmhouses are their paradise, where we can see their clever figures and hear their unrestrained cries. But in recent years, somehow, their figures are also decreasing in rural areas.
Although the sparrow is small, it has never been absent from literary themes since ancient times. It can be found in modern poems of Tang poetry and Song poetry. In the 1940s, there was The Crow and Sparrow in the movie and Sparrow in the TV series. It is said that Yifeng Li was asked to wash white meat not long ago. Therefore, although sparrows have no ambition to carve storks with swans, they are not lonely and will not be forgotten.
May they always have their own land and sky.
