It's been more than two months since the outbreak of C pneumonia and it's spreading across the globe. The outbreak is expected to continue for some time, with some countries delaying the start of school, others closing all or part of the school year, and some encouraging online teaching.
Viruses know no borders. With the advent of globalization, the spread of infectious diseases is inevitable. Therefore, it is important to have an understanding of the epidemic and to have the knowledge, skills and attitude to prevent it. This wave of epidemics is a living example of teaching, which involves health and sports, biology, chemistry, geography, science and technology, etc. With the advancement of science and technology and the pursuit of materialism and enjoyment, we must rethink the relationship between human beings, human beings and society, and human beings and nature, and learn the meaning and value of life.
Epidemics do not appear out of thin air, they are created by human beings. There have been many major infectious diseases in history, such as the SARS outbreak in Taiwan 14 years ago, the Black Death in Europe, the bubonic plague during the reign of the Chongzhen Emperor in the Ming Dynasty, and the 300-year struggle with smallpox during the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.
The over-exploitation of nature by human beings has caused nature to fight back; the environment in which the creatures of nature used to live has been destroyed, and they have finally found human beings as their hosts. No matter how powerful we are, we can't stop nature from attacking us.
The greatest catastrophe for mankind is not a nuclear weapon, but a virus, says Pierre Ghez.
Biologists say that the natural world would be thriving if man did not destroy it.
Jesus said, "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his life? What else can a man give in exchange for his life?
Taiwan has become the light of Taiwan due to the intelligence and wisdom of many excellent officials and medical personnel who have utilized their ability to prevent and control the epidemic.
What lessons have we learned from this wave of epidemic? Have we remembered the lessons and established good habits as a result?
March 12 (Thu) Tree Planting Day, afforestation is not only able to green and beautify the home, but also expand forest resources, prevent soil erosion, protect farmland, regulate climate, promote economic development and other roles, it is a project beneficial to the current generation, for the benefit of future generations. Every year at this time, kindergartens will give a flower sapling or a tree sapling to the children to take home to plant, so that the children can learn life's lessons through transplanting, care (sunlight, air, water), and understand the significance of planting trees, and this activity has been carried out for more than a decade; in recent years, with the change in the type of residence, buildings are everywhere, and there is no place to plant the flower sapling and tree sapling to take home, or to give it to or entrust it to elders living in villages, which becomes a burden for the parents. On the contrary, they have become a burden for parents and lost the opportunity to learn about life education.
This year, we changed the planting to a demonstration in kindergartens only. The principal of the kindergarten specially selected kumquat trees that can bear fruits and invited a horticulture teacher to demonstrate the planting of kumquat trees in the garden in front of the front door, so that the children could understand how to transplant the plants and why they have to be planted in front of the door through explanations, observation and appreciation. Why plant in the soil and not in a pot? The children answered the questions very well.
I am looking forward to the summer with full of kumquats, so I can make kumquat tea to drink!
I wish you all good health, peace and happiness.
