In the Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a cover, and the four fields are boundless. It was a vast grassland, a grassland on the horizon, with low grass and cattle and sheep, and free cattle and sheep. In such a world, people's minds will also become incomparably broader.
Here, you can gallop freely, sing, dance and ......The peoples of the steppes are unrestrained and wild, but their hearts are extremely fragile, and a sudden natural disaster may destroy all their efforts.
In the endless prairie, horses galloped, and teenagers sang with whips. The Mongolian people, a people who live by animal husbandry and live in pursuit of water and grass, have lived a nomadic life for thousands of years, and the unique yurt is a symbol of their way of life.
However, one day, they decide to give up their beloved cattle and sheep and go to the city in search of a new life. It all stems from Mongolia's extremely harsh weather and the bleak prospects of traditional nomadic life.
The cold winter of 2009 was the coldest for the Mongols in recent decades, and the death of large numbers of livestock destroyed their hopes for life again and again, and they began to seek new life, which also heralded the end of the nomadic era in Mongolia.
In the dilemma of survival, we need to learn to compromise and bow our heads, even nomads cannot resist the tide of the times. In order to escape the existential crisis, the Mongols abandoned their traditional nomadic life and flocked to the capital city of Ulaanbaatar.
However, despite the rapid development that Ulaanbaatar experienced after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it did not provide a safe haven for these Mongols.
Ulaanbaatar, this magical city, has a bird's-eye view from the sky, and patches of tenacious growth under the steel jungle"Mushroom swarms", they are the product of yurts, the crystallization of the wisdom of their ancestors, saving the Mongols from an existential crisis.
Each year over the past two decades, 40,000 people have abandoned their traditional nomadic lifestyles and moved to the capital. Today, the area north of Ulaanbaatar has formed a huge area"Mushroom community", which accounts for a quarter of Mongolia's population.
The Mongolians living in the cities are like wild horses tied to stables, and although they are attached to the grassland, it is difficult to return to their old life. The road to survival is difficult, but death is at hand.
Although the yurt solves their housing problem, it is still humble and inexpensive compared to the Western-style apartments in Ulaanbaatar. The yurt, as we know it as "shantytown", symbolizes crowding, chaos and poverty, and the people who live in it are like being locked in a box.
Mongolians seek freedom, and their wisdom of life is reflected in the design of the yurt, which works from all aspects to ensure the temperature inside the yurt. However, the huge "mushroom colonies" on the outskirts of the capital, lacking basic amenities and even water, electricity and heating, are a huge challenge for free-spirited Mongolians.
In winter, Mongolia's seasons change significantly, with long winters accompanied by heavy snowstorms and extremely cold. Therefore, heating is essential for the Mongols. Mongolians are looking for better solutions so that they can live more comfortably while pursuing freedom.
Ulaanbaatar, a city plagued by coal Mongolia, a resource-rich country, is the main source of energy. However, over-reliance on coal has left Ulaanbaatar plagued by smog.
The capital, Ulaanbaatar, is lined with chimneys, and an average household burns about two tons of coal a year. In winter, almost all buildings are smoking, and there is a lot of PM2 in the air5. According to the survey, Ulaanbaatar was the most severe when PM2The concentration of 5 exceeded the WHO standard by 133 times, making it the country with the worst smog in the world.
This pollution has caused great harm to the health of the people of Ulaanbaatar. Bronchitis, pneumonia and other respiratory diseases have become "common diseases" in Mongolians.
However, despite this, the people of Ulaanbaatar remained here without hesitation. Because in Ulaanbaatar, there are public schools where children can go to school, there is free medical care, and there are more job opportunities here.
Despite living in such a polluted country, the people of Ulaanbaatar have shown resilience. Their choice is not only a perseverance in life, but also a hope for the future.
In the midst of this darkness, there was a door that was closed. An expectant soul is locked inside the door, and a searching soul is shut out. Mongolians now seem to have reached a dead end, with more and more young people eager to leave the traditional herding life and break into the cities in search of new opportunities, while those who already live in the cities are beginning to miss the days of riding horses and herding sheep on the steppe.
Exhausted and scarred by the hardships of life in the city, these Mongolians yearn for freedom, but they cannot resist the pressure of life and can only struggle in the city. Although they came to the city, they still maintained the way of thinking and habits of the steppe, and it was difficult to adapt to the rhythm of life in the city, they were the best shepherds and hunters, but in the strange city, their skills seemed useless.
In this rapidly changing era, only those who can adapt and follow the trend of the times can survive the fierce competition. Just like a boat in a rapid, although it may encounter difficulties and challenges, only by following the current can it reach its destination smoothly.
The past is gone, the future has not yet come, and the only thing that can be grasped is the present. As the famous saying goes: "Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sunken boat, and ten thousand trees spring in front of the sick tree."
Only by constantly moving forward can we find our own place in the torrent of the times. As difficult as we may be now, we cannot afford to lose hope.
Because hope is the source of life and the driving force for us to move forward. As long as we have hope, we will be able to see the beautiful scenery ahead and enter a new world.
Life is like a river, always moving forward, and no matter what difficulties lie ahead, we must not give up. Because every challenge is a kind of exercise for us, and every difficulty is a kind of growth for us.
Being alive is a beautiful thing in itself, and with each day that passes, we get one step closer to success. So, let's keep hope, move forward bravely, meet a new day, and meet new challenges.
When the world weighs on the seeds of life, they always find their own way to break through the ground. The Mongols are one such seed, and although they are forced to abandon everything in the past under the pressure of life, they will eventually adapt to the new environment, find a way of life that suits them, and pass it on from generation to generation to form their own unique national identity.
People who have goals can endure all kinds of difficulties and move forward unremittingly, patience and perseverance are the best partners to success, accept them, embrace them, we can be fearless and move forward.
The storms in life are impermanent, but don't be afraid, we must learn to dance in the wind and rain, greet the downpour with a smile, and deal with lightning and thunder with a hundred times more courage, after the storm, we will bathe in the rainbow.
