Although the image of "wolf" is not a good image in the traditional culture of the Han nationality, it is often used as a symbol of vicious, greedy, cunning evil people and evil forces. But I seem to have a very good impression of wolves since I was a child. Although it is a meat eater on the grasslands, at the top of the food chain, I have always felt that wolves are the weakest in our morality. Xiao Shiyilang has a small poem, in the late spring and March, the sheep are happy and the grass grows, and the weather is cold and freezing, asking who feeds the wolves. It seems that we can only see wolves eating sheep, but not sheep eating grass. We sympathize with sheep being eaten by wolves, but we do not sympathize with the fact that without meat, wolves will starve to death. Grass-sheep (cattle, deer)-wolves, this food chain has existed all over the world since ancient times. For the benefit of mankind, people always want more sheep, so wolves that eat sheep become the enemy of mankind. I once heard that the wolves were killed by humans, and the whole mountain and the entire grassland were killed. Indeed, there were no wolves that ate sheep, so the sheep began to grow wildly, grazing wildly, the grass was gone, and the sheep finally starved to death. Finally, people realized that wolves play an important role in this ecosystem, and they introduced wolves from other places. Thoreau said that the revelation of this world is in the wilderness. It's just that everyone understood this truth too late and paid too much a heavy price.
Xiao Shiyilang said that his favorite animal is the wolf, because the wolf is very loyal, and only recognizes one partner in its life. If the partner dies, it will only guard the wolf's den alone and spend the rest of its life alone. According to Baidu Encyclopedia, the wolf is indeed a loyal animal, basically monogamous. As long as the spouse exists, it will usually be with him for life, but if the spouse dies, it can also quickly re-establish a new spouse relationship. Although not as beautiful as the novel says, wolves are loyal compared to humans and even the vast majority of creatures. Therefore, nouns like "pervert" are the embodiment of human discrimination against wolves.
Wolf Totem, I read the novel first, and I was deeply attracted by the novel at that time, and I admired the wisdom of the wolf even more. The movie Wolf Totem, because it was performed by a specific person, lost a lot of room for the audience to imagine, but as a whole it reflects the novel well.
Humans who think wolves are vicious are actually human beings; humans who think wolves are greedy are actually humans who are really greedy. The wisdom of the wolf and the short-sightedness of the human are greedy for petty profits and emphasis on self-interest.
Wolves can endure. Even in starvation and cold, the wolf can endure, wait for the best time, and succeed in one fell swoop. Life is all about choosing the right time, but people are always in a hurry. If you want a little profit, you may end up losing the greater benefit. Director Bao is a representative of greedy human beings. He steals the yellow sheep and sells money, which eventually leads to the revenge of the wolf, all the horses of the production team are lost, and Batu also died. Later, he took the Mongolians from the east to develop the grasslands and drove jeeps to hunt wolves. In order to get a complete wolf skin without bullet holes, I drove a jeep to chase the wolf and exhausted the wolf to death. Burn the grassland, smoke out the wolves. Sadly, wolves would rather jump off a cliff, collapse their nests and be crushed to death by stones, than be hunted and skinned. All the cruelty and greed of human beings, I think, will eventually be met with natural revenge.
During the Cultural Revolution, Chen Zhen, who went to the countryside, liked grasslands and wolves so much that he secretly raised a little wolf, but it was difficult to ride a tiger. He felt that it was too cruel for the Mongols to scavenge wolf cubs and throw them to death (called sending them to see Tengger). So after he dug out the wolf's den to find a little wolf, he secretly raised it. After being discovered, he was condemned and questioned by the herdsmen; he had a deep affection for the little wolf, but it made the wolf lose its wildness. Old Bliger said that wolves need the dignity of their own prey, they don't want to be fed, they want to risk death to hunt, they are warriors. If you take away its pride, don't let it hunt, let it learn to fear death, then it's not a warrior. He wanted to put the little wolf back on the grassland, but he was afraid that the little wolf that had lost its wildness with the smell of people could not survive in nature.
In the end, the wolves on the grassland were killed by Director Bao and others using various methods. The little wolf that was put back into the grassland may be the few prairie wolves left. The little wolf finally looked at Chen Zhen and the others from a distance. I was thinking, what is Xiaolang's feelings for Chen Zhen, reluctance, gratitude, or hatred? Wolves can't be tamed, can they? Even if Chen Zhen fed the big wolf one by one, he could still bite him without hesitation. If it wasn't for Chen Zhen, the little wolf might have become a real steppe wolf under the education of the big wolf, so it could hate Chen Zhen; but if it wasn't for Chen Zhen, it has been killed countless times by herdsmen. Of course, if it lived on the grassland, May also be killed like other companions.
Thoreau said that the revelation of this world is in the wilderness. For nature, it is the same whether it is a man, a wolf or a sheep. Time will tell us all.
