"The Shepherd Who Planted Trees" is about a shepherd who lived in isolation. Through nearly half a century of unremitting tree planting, he turned the mound into an oasis, proving that lonely people can find happiness. Below is my review of "The Shepherd Who Planted Trees" compiled for you. I hope you like it. Thoughts after reading "The Shepherd Who Planted Trees" (1)

In the evening, the shepherd took out the bag and picked out the acorns. The next day, he took me up to a high altitude of 200 meters to graze the sheep. He dug with an iron rod instead of a walking stick. A hundred seeds were planted in the hole. I learned that he had been planting trees three years ago. Although he had planted 100,000 trees, only 20,000 trees survived. Half of them had been destroyed by animals, leaving about 10,000 trees. The shepherd was fifty-five years old, and his name was Algeele Pfeer. He used to run a farm, but his son and his wife died later. He decided to transform the land alone on this highland with sheep and dogs as his friends.

I said goodbye to him the next day. The next year, 1914, World War I broke out. I fought with the army for the next five years, and after the war ended, I came here again. The shepherd is still alive. He only raises 4 sheep and a hundred nests of bees. He didn't care about the war at all, and planted trees leisurely. The oak tree planted in 1910 is now 10 years old. The entire forest stretches endlessly like an ocean, and the previously dry riverbed is now filled with gurgling water.

Since 1920, I have been visiting Alger Phipper once a year. His body gradually became weak, but he never showed a confused look because of this.

In 1933, the forest ranger came to him in a panic and stipulated that fire must not be used in the forest. This was the first time he saw the forest made by human hands. In 1935, the government sent an official delegation to the forest to conduct a survey. They talked loudly and nothing special was stipulated except the ban on burning charcoal in the forest. However, almost all young people were attracted by this forest. The charm of the forest attracted me. A friend of mine became one of the managers of this forest. I told him about the shepherd's deeds. When my friend parted, he said: "That old man has found the true meaning of a happy life."

When the Second World War broke out in 1939, the logging plan was shelved because it was located in a deep mountain and logging would not be beneficial to the country. The old shepherd knew nothing about what was happening in the world. He didn't know about the First or Second World War. He just did his own thing in obscurity. The war separated the old man and me for another eight years.

In June 1945, I came here again. In the ruins of 1913, there are now countless farmhouses. The total number of people who lived here before and those who recently moved in is about 10,000. People, all the happiness they enjoy comes from Alger Elle Phipple. In 1947, in Barang's nursing home, the old man closed his eyes peacefully.

"The Shepherd Who Planted Trees" tells the story of the different endings brought about by the differences in the roles of "people" in the ecological chain. The protagonist travels through the Provence Plateau in the Alps in southern France, passing by a dilapidated and abandoned village. The springs in the village have dried up, the houses have collapsed, and there is no one left. After another long journey, he crossed dozens of miles of dark, sand-filled highlands and met a shepherd on the lifeless and inaccessible plateau. From the mouth of the shepherd Bouffier, we learn that the village the protagonist saw was prosperous before, and the villagers made a living by burning charcoal and cutting firewood. Being able to make a living by cutting down trees and burning charcoal, it is conceivable that this land was once covered with trees and was an ideal home for people.

But blindly asking for resources from nature, only knowing how to cut down and not know how to plant, after the limited resources are exhausted, people's lives are facing difficulties. In order to make a living, villagers robbed the few remaining trees. Desires, quarrels, diseases and madness were rampant along with the depletion of resources. When people could no longer find anything useful on this land, they chose to leave, leaving a barren land behind.

This is the narration of the story in the early part of the film. Through the dimness of the picture, the roar of the wind and the difficulty of the protagonist walking, we know that this is indeed a land that has been reduced to ruins. Villages are in decay, houses have collapsed, sand and gravel have flown away, and the once beautiful home has become a wasteland. This is a bitter fruit planted by the villagers themselves. When nature can no longer bear the demands of humans, she can only show the scars of being arbitrarily exploited by humans.

Environmental pioneer Rachel Carson said: "Man has gone too far in the artificial world of his own invention. He created cities with reinforced concrete and separated himself from the reality of the earth and the water. The reality is separated from the reality of the germinated seeds. "After being fettered by interests, the people of Provence went against the laws of nature. When nature showed that it was unbearable, everyone chose to abandon it. This reflects the villagers' lack of reflection on the sustainable development of the relationship between man and nature, and their inability to face the fundamental reasons for losing their homes. ?There is obvious use of contrast techniques in the film. The shepherds "I" met witnessed the changes in the village, and silently chose to plant trees to gradually change the environment of the area. In addition to herding sheep, Mr. Bouffier planted 100,000 oak trees in the first three years.

In the fifth year after World War I, "I" went to visit the old man again. The trees he had planted before had flourished like a forest, and the dry river bed had regained its vitality and was surrounded by running water. When World War II broke out, the forest cultivated by the old man was in danger of being logged. However, it was finally saved from this disaster because it was located in a deep mountain and transportation was inconvenient. It can be seen that the forest at this time has reached a considerable scale. The old man planted trees year after year for nearly 40 years. Finally, he single-handedly turned the abandoned plateau into an oasis, and a benign ecology was formed. The villagers who had fled have returned here to rebuild their homes, and the former village has regained its vitality. ?The behavior of old man Bouffier is a thought-provoking revelation to people in adversity. There are several transitions before and after the story: from taking to giving, from abandoning to protecting, from destroying to rebuilding. Among these changes, the most important is the change in human roles. The anthropocentrism in ecological aesthetics is fully reflected in the villagers who cut wood and burn charcoal. Everyone is self-centered and believes that human beings are the masters of all things and live above nature. They can do whatever they want to other species in the ecological chain. Torture and stripping. Obviously, this arbitrary slaughter soon brought an ecological crisis to this highland. The behavior of the shepherds implies the retreat of anthropocentrism. In order to rebuild their homeland, humans must think about their relationship with nature, and change from conquering and dominating nature to respecting and complying with nature. Put humans and nature into an organically unified whole. Animals, plants, and microorganisms are all legitimate parts of this whole. They all have their own value and meaning, and have the right to their own existence.
