This "The Gleaner" is really romantic and full of artistic sense! I have never understood why my family's farmland has a good harvest, but my grandparents still have to go to the fields to glean. They would dig wild vegetables in spring, chicken head rice in summer, go to the woods in late autumn to pick up leaves and corn, and in winter they would go to find sweet potatoes that were left in the soil. . I always think that grandparents are too frugal, and sometimes feel a little ashamed, because there is no shortage of food at home. Later in the city, my grandmother would rummage through the trash cans in the community and pick up some trash that others had thrown away, but she thought it could be reused or exchanged for money. . . Once I saw my grandma picking up trash and complaining about her, and then my grandma felt like she made a mistake. Now that I think about it, I shouldn't have.
If those crops in the countryside were sentient, they were discarded and rotted in the fields, but there are still many people on earth who suffer from hunger. The garbage in the city is a valuable item before it is thrown away. After being thrown away, it must be bought again, but the natural resources are not endless. Making the best use of everything is really the most basic and responsible thing we can do for this nature that has been transformed and destroyed by human beings.
When I saw a truck full of dumped potatoes in the documentary, there were actually potatoes in the shape of a heart. If I could, I would really like to pick them up. Potatoes are delicious no matter the size? I will also be a gleaner in the future, trying to make the best use of everything!
