Most people look down on scavengers, but I think the work of scavengers deserves respect.
Urban scavengers are not "substitutes" of cities, but an indispensable part of cities, which shows that they are also beautiful builders of cities. At the same time, they are vulnerable groups in the city, so it is not easy to live in the city.
Day after day, year after year. Scavengers often come to the trash can. The bag in the back is heavy. Every step, the garbage will collide and make a sound. Squinting his eyes, he searched for new rubbish, put his skinny hand into the bottom of the trash can and fell on all fours. The smell is stronger, and pedestrians hide their noses, leaving only a big mouthful of saliva to spit on the scavengers. Scavengers, ushered in the eyes again and again. Every harvest is always accompanied by a sincere smile.
They carried a big sack on their backs and a stick with a hook on their heads, and their clothes were in rags. Although dressed untidily, the vicissitudes of life are looked down upon every day. But they never complain that the wealth created and the resources saved every year are immeasurable.
According to statistics, in recent years, 80,000 foreign scavengers in Beijing can pick out 654.38 billion yuan of wealth from garbage dumps every year (this figure does not include the income created by local scavengers in Beijing, regular recycling companies and environmental protection departments). Interestingly, in recent years, the annual box office income of China film market is 654.38 billion yuan, but there are 270,000 film employees in China, and most of these box office incomes are created by imported films.
Although most people discriminate against scavengers, there are also people who praise scavengers.
An article by an anonymous young doctor caught my attention. At the end of the article, he wrote: "The footprints of scavengers have led to the sublimation of mankind: in order to heal the cut natural chain, all people should become scavengers. Scavengers are a way for human beings to make up for their sins. It means to repent, be grateful and bless the earth. This has led to a state in which human production and life are transformed from essence to essence, rather than transforming the essence of nature into garbage. Therefore, human beings will truly praise the cultivation of heaven and earth. At the crossroads of mankind, the direction of scavengers is the direction of the road to redemption. Their behavior is of supreme value. I praise the scavengers without affectation, and I am willing to join them.
Isn't the spirit of scavengers who get up early and contribute to environmental protection worth praising and learning?
