How far is it from Maldives to Galle? As human beings, have we ever crossed the ocean with our bare hands, and is there any possibility of survival?
? How painful is it to lose someone you love?
? What kind of excitement will a person be in when he accidentally gets a close relative?
? Believe in nature?
? Or the people's faith?
……
? Standing by the sea, facing the oblique wind in rainy season, watching the wild wolves rolling in the distance, these silly questions keep popping up in my mind. On rainy days, the sea is gray and naughty. I had the cheek to tease the stubborn embankment and spilled salt water all over me. However, this does not prevent me from continuing to chew the Ocean Hues.
I promised Ninam that I would finish reading the new book signed by his mother that he gave me in the new week. In fact, in less than three days, I used various postures (including lying, standing, handstand, etc. ) Finally finished the task ahead of schedule. Ocean Hues's Voice of the Sea tells the legendary story of a happy Madai family, which was reunited by fate and faith after a rare earthquake in Sumatra, Indonesia in 2004, and influenced more than a dozen countries in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean.
? On the shore of Moon Island, I bent down to pick up a piece of white coral and threw it into the rolling sea. Even on such a rainy day, the sea is still very clear, like a huge white marble covered with lines. Coral jumped into the water, immediately aroused a water chain, hung in the foggy air for only a moment, and then jumped into the embrace of the ocean in a hurry. This ocean is so beautiful and charming. For her, many people spent half a year's savings and traveled across the ocean to see her. However, in the year when the earth was angry, how many fresh lives she took from this sea!
? A few days ago, my colleague Max said to me in an unassailable tone: "Janney, I can't believe you didn't know anything about the 2004 tsunami. It was a global traffic accident. How could you not know what happened at that time?" Jenny, I really can't believe you haven't heard of the tsunami in 2004. It was a world-class tragedy. Why don't you know what happened at that time? )
Max said that the earthquake and tsunami in 2004 spread over six time zones, second only to the tsunami caused by the 1960 Chile earthquake. Kenya, Somalia (East Zone 3), Mauritius, French Reunion, Seychelles (East Zone 4), Maldives (East Zone 5), India (India Half Time Zone), Bangladesh, Sri Lanka (East Zone 6), Myanmar, Australia's Corcos (Keeling) Islands (Myanmar Half Time Zone), Indonesia, Thailand (East Zone 7), Indonesia. Guo wrote in "Longzhou Jixiang Yangko": "Man will conquer nature, and it will take half a minute." People always believe that their wisdom can overcome nature. However, countless facts have proved that nature is the operating law of life and death changes of all things in the world. In his breath, we are as small as ants crawling on land, and suddenly we will face extinction. Nature never uses words to guide us to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil; We will not dominate our narcissistic wisdom; Nature will not condemn the life and death of all things; He may or may not be happy.
? Just people, we have a lot of feelings. In Ocean Hues's "Voice of the Sea" story, the heroine Huwa, who is deeply loved by the hero Hassan, became helpless and fell into a quagmire of loneliness after being swept away by the tsunami. This once suffocating loneliness gradually decreased with the appearance of Huwa's cousin who looks like Song. Persuaded by his family, he quickly proposed to Ruger. Ruger was attracted by the affection between Gain and Huwa and was infatuated with Hassan, so he agreed to the marriage. Huwa was swept away by the tsunami and drifted all the way from Maldives to Galle, Sri Lanka. She was rescued by the young five treasures and later taken in by her family. During that time, although Huwa lost all her memories, in the depths of her feelings, she did not forget her beloved family. Although she likes and relies on the young man who saved her life, she feels that she doesn't belong to him, so she repeatedly refuses the love of Five Treasures. Hassan and Ruge didn't set a wedding date because of Huwa. Under the pressure of parents and children, they finally decided on the wedding date. The day before the wedding, he learned from Baynard that his wife was still alive at the home of a relative he knew in Baynard. At this point, the story has a happy ending. Finally, the Hassan family got together, married Wubao like a song and started a happy new life.
Human emotion is a magical existence. Emotion has been echoed, happiness is like a butterfly in the spring flowers, but it just flies around leisurely; Feelings have lost contact, and loneliness is like sulfuric acid in the air, eroding the city of years. Without emotion, the human soul is like a rootless duckweed, which can't find attachment; Without emotion, the human spirit is like celadon broken on the ground. People are always looking for belonging and emotional transformation. No matter whether feelings can finally find their way home, as long as there is a tie in their hearts, people will be much more stable. For Hassan and Huwa, each other is the best emotional destination. Huwa was swept away by the tsunami, and Hassan, who was driven crazy, could only comfort his frightened soul by praying until Ruge appeared.
Ocean Hues's story "Tone of the Ocean" is close to the real life of the Madai people, which makes me almost think it is a true story. So these days, I always take pains to ask my local colleagues if this story is true. The shortest air travel distance between Maldives and Galle is 867 km = 539 miles. If the raging tsunami swims with a person at a speed of 80 kilometers per day, it is not difficult. The problem is that the tsunami is not that kind. Will you take people to the bottom of the sea or throw them on rocks? During this period, drifters must have superhuman physique, and of course they can't calculate the underwater undercurrent movement and the bloody eating habits of some marine creatures. In this case, if the hypothesis holds, the drifting parties will arrive in Galle by big waves in about 10 days. The answer is self-evident, and the possibility that the story is true is almost zero.
In the real world, in the face of the avalanche of natural disasters, people will be easily swallowed up and life will become an unreachable myth. Interestingly, such a myth did exist in the tsunami triggered by the Indian Ocean earthquake in 2004. Max recommended me a famous Spanish disaster film-Impossible. The content of the film is based on the real experience of Spanish doctor Maria Veron and her family in the disaster. Maria and Henry's family of five are spending their Christmas holiday on an island in Thailand. The sudden tsunami broke up the family as quickly as possible. Later, Maria fled with her eldest son Lucas and saved a little boy on the way. Maria's half breast was cut off by a sharp weapon in the wild waves, and she didn't know it. When she and her eldest son successfully escaped the second wave and hugged each other, Lucas realized that his mother was seriously injured. Fortunately, she was rescued by the local people and sent to the hospital for treatment. On the other hand, Henry and two other sons survived, and Henry was eager to find Maria and her son Lucas. Finally, the two sides reunited in the hospital. Later, with the assistance of the insurance company, Maria and her family flew to a hospital in Singapore for treatment.
At the end of the play, the reporter interviewed them and asked: What was the experience of being swept up by the tsunami?
Lucas, who was reborn after the robbery, replied thoughtfully: "Imagine that you are unconscious and thrown into a high-speed automatic washing machine. Water is wrapped in leaves, nails, wood blocks, steel and sludge. You keep getting mixed up with all kinds of things, and that's the feeling of being rolled up by the tsunami. "
I have to admit that most people who have experienced major disasters will know how to cherish and be grateful. Although I have never experienced a tsunami, the experience of being washed away by the river when I was a child will never be forgotten in my life. If I have a second chance in life, I won't choose to erase this precious experience, but I never expect to have the same experience again in the future. When I look at the world, I first give a natural look and believe in letting nature take its course. Then, I didn't think about my ideals and beliefs. This is a little trick that this experience gave me.
? As Amyna, the author of Ocean Hues's Voice of the Sea, said, "Tsunamis took many lives and happened in different countries. But, somehow, they are very kind. "
That tsunami claimed many lives in several different countries. But, somehow, they are also full of goodwill. )
