In cold Siberia, the first snowflakes fall in the north, signaling that the warm season is coming to an end and winter is approaching. For those of us who live in temperate regions, winter means starting to cope with the colder weather and getting out of our closet down jackets and sweaters. However, residents as far away as Siberia have long been Xi to it, and they are preparing with the most positive attitude for a seven-month "hibernation life". In this vast area bordering northeastern China, extreme climatic conditions make it a no-go place.
During the long Siberian winters, when the land is covered with snow and ice, and the outdoor temperature drops as low as minus 70 degrees Celsius, life must return to its original state. However, there are still nearly 40 million people living in this icy and snowy area. As the guardians of the land, these residents face not only the cold, but also a variety of other survival challenges. How did the Siberians live in the "refrigerator" and how will they spend the long seven months?Let's step into their lives and get a glimpse of the mysteries of this magical place.
The main reason for the harsh climate in Siberia is its special geographical environment. Located in the northernmost part of the Eurasian continent, near the Arctic Ocean, cold currents from the Arctic can blow unhindered, bringing low temperatures of tens of degrees below zero. In addition, Siberia is inland, separated by plateaus and mountains to the south and west, which are inaccessible to warm and humid airflows, resulting in very cold weather for most of the year. Especially during the long winter between the end of August and March of the following year, the temperature is often dozens of degrees below minus, and sometimes it breaks through minus 70 degrees, creating a "new low".
In such a harsh climate, although the land of Siberia is barren, it is rich in natural resources, among which oil, natural gas, non-ferrous metals and other reserves are the largest, known as the "treasure trove of resources". It is the existence of these resources that makes Siberia, although uninhabitable, not a no-man's land. During the long Siberian winter, residents must be well prepared for the harsh cold. Their homes are usually built of thick timber and concrete to keep them warm. In villages and cities, underground heating systems are essential.
People also stock up on enough food and household items to ensure they have enough supplies during the harsh winter months. In addition, Siberians use the winter months for fishing, hunting, and other activities for food and entertainment. In the cities and villages of Siberia, people take various measures to protect themselves from the cold. They will choose to wear warm down jackets, heavy sweaters, and waterproof boots. In addition, they use a variety of methods to combat the cold weather, such as wearing hats, scarves and gloves when outdoors to avoid exposure to the cold air.
People who work outdoors regularly return indoors to rest to avoid the effects of the cold. In addition to personal life preparation, Siberian ** and social organizations also take a series of measures to help residents survive the harsh winter. They provide free heating and food assistance to ensure that every family can survive the cold season. In addition, they organize a variety of activities and entertainment programs to keep residents happy during the winter months. In the face of the extreme climatic conditions in Siberia, the residents did not simply adapt, but also rose to the challenge with optimism.
They know how to cherish the sunshine and warmth of winter and enjoy the beauty that winter brings. They interpret the meaning of life with their actions, showing the awe and tenacity of human beings towards nature. It is this spirit that has made Siberia a miracle of life, and we have learned how to survive and fight in extreme circumstances. By learning about the life and spirit of Siberians, we may be able to draw strength from them to face life's challenges. Whether it's a harsh winter or other difficult times, we can learn from them the qualities of perseverance, as well as the love and cherishing of life.
Let us pay tribute to the Siberians, Xi learn from them, learn from them, and face all the difficulties of life with optimism and courage. Winter preparations in Siberia are an intense but necessary task. At the end of summer, in this vast land, people have long begun to prepare for the coming cold winter. **Send reminders to residents via SMS and email to inform them to prepare food and fuel for extreme weather. Once winter comes, the snow is heavy, road traffic is blocked, and access to daily necessities is interrupted, and residents can only rely on their own pre-stockpiles to survive.
Therefore, they will stock up on more than half a year's living needs a few months in advance to ensure that the range of activities and needs during the winter period are under control. In such a severe environment, it is particularly important to prepare for winter. For most families, they stock up on staple foods such as rice, flour and potatoes, as well as non-staple foods such as meat, dairy products, and fish, enough to sustain the family for seven months. At the same time, they also store this food in the cellar, which has a low and stable temperature, which is conducive to long-term storage. When it comes to heating, towns and cities can rely on heating**, while many residents in remote villages still rely on firewood for heating.
This requires them to reserve more than 20 cubic meters of firewood to ensure the indoor temperature. Things that need to be prepared in advance also include clothing, shoes, hats, medicines, and general necessities, because once winter arrives, the disruption of transportation will lead to the interruption of access to daily necessities. It can be said that preparing for winter is a systematic project, which requires every household to be fully prepared. In the Siberian winter, when a snowstorm hits, the roads are covered with snow, and people have to be isolated from the outside world and wait indoors for the long cold winter to pass. In such an environment, it is extremely difficult to survive without food and fuel.
Therefore, through such winter preparations, residents are able to survive the harsh winter and ensure that their lives are not affected too much. Although winter preparations in Siberia may be new to us, it reminds us that we also need to be well prepared for extreme weather. Whether it's a typhoon, a rainstorm, a blizzard, or a freeze disaster, we need to prepare in advance to keep ourselves and our families safe. So, when we hear that someone is preparing for the extreme weather that is coming, perhaps there are some lessons to be learned from it.
Siberia, a mysterious and distant land, the bitter cold winter has become an insurmountable threshold in the life of Siberians. Here, the temperature is extremely low, only about 15 degrees Celsius during the day and as low as 5 degrees Celsius at night. To withstand the raging cold, they had to turn up the temperature in their house to the highest level, constantly burn wood or coal to keep warm, and even put on multiple layers of clothing while sleeping. How did the Siberians survive this long winter in such a harsh natural environment?During the winter months, Siberians basically form a state of "hibernation" and spend most of their time at home.
They will turn on the TV or radio, do knitting or handicraft, and listen to the outside world, which can not only pass the time, but also pass on the national handicraft skills. At the same time, due to snowstorms and road closures, snow accumulation and other reasons, it is difficult for rural residents to go out, and they can only rely on pre-stockpiled supplies to make ends meet. Even if you need to buy necessities, you have to put on thick fur boots and coats and drive your sleigh to the remote village store, keeping an eye out for the ice and ditches beneath the snow. What tests people's willpower even more is that due to the sparse size of the land, many homes are built in the jungle a few kilometers away from their neighbors.
In the event of an injury or life-threatening situation, there is basically no access to outside help, and you can only rely on your own willpower to survive the difficulties. Because of this, the Siberians have a very strong character and a very strong sense of self-preservation, and this spirit of self-reliance supports them through the long and harsh winters, which has become the core survival rule of the Siberians. In such cold conditions, food has become another major challenge for the inhabitants of Siberia. Since the land is frozen most of the time, it is not conducive to agricultural cultivation, and agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits are extremely scarce.
This has made meat the main feature of the people's table, with venison as the top quality, as well as domesticated beef and mutton, as well as fresh fish caught from the rich water system. These ingredients are delicious and rich in protein, fat, and other nutrients, making them ideal as high-calorie foods in freezing cold conditions. Vegetables and fruits, on the other hand, are more luxurious for Siberians. In such a natural environment, Siberians face extreme challenges, but their tenacity and tenacity are beyond imagination. Relying on their willpower and self-reliance, they survived tenaciously and became the strongest existence in this land.
This spirit also makes us wonder how far human strength can be in the face of adversityIn the face of nature's harsh tests, how should we deal with them?Perhaps, from the Siberians, we can draw more courage and strength. Siberia, that distant and mysterious land, we are always curious about the cold and hard life there. How do people survive in this vast and bitter cold region?What kind of food will be on their table?
Reality tells us that most of the time they can only eat pickled cucumbers, radishes and other pickled vegetables, and this single taste of food lacks diversity. In recent years, although some areas have established hot room greenhouses to achieve the annual output of some vegetables, it is still high and it is still difficult for residents to buy. It is foreseeable that fresh fruits and vegetables will remain a luxury on the Siberian table for quite some time. During the endless winter, they keep pets to relieve loneliness and furnish the house to be warm and comfortable to combat the cold outside.
This "hibernating" state of existence is also affecting their personalities, and most Siberians have become industrious, hard-working, firm and patient, and have a strong will to survive. Despite living in such an environment, the younger generation is faced with leaving their hometowns to study Xi work in other places**. As a result, Siberia is facing a serious problem of brain and population loss, but this does not affect the soul of this nation. The harsh environment has created a group of residents who are best able to adapt to extreme conditions. The cold and long nights that seem like hell to us are part of ordinary life for them.
Siberians tell us that the strength of the human will and the yearning for a better life are enough to overcome any natural difficulties. Maybe one day, the spring breeze in Siberia will come earlier.
