htmlIn 189, Jilin farmers rescued the national first-class protected animal red-crowned crane. After half a month of care, they were released. Five years later, the red-crowned crane saved the entire village.
On the winter of 1989, Chen Baosheng, a security officer in the park, rescued an injured red-crowned crane from several children. He never expected this kind of good deed to change the fate of the whole village five years later.
Speaking of Xianghai Wetland Park, many people may still be unfamiliar with it. Xianghai Wetland Park is also a national nature reserve in my country.
Because it is located in a relatively remote place and is the junction of Jilin Province and Inner Mongolia, few people know about it.
Especially in 1989, when transportation was inconvenient, there were even fewer people going there.
In fact, the scenery here is very charming. It is not only next to the grassland, Daxinganling , Little Xinganling , Little Xinganling , but also reeds and swamps.
This is a paradise for birds, and flocks of migratory birds pass by here every year.
So in 1986, Xianghai Wetland Park was included in a national protected area by the State Council, and was once again designated by the State Council as the "International Important Wetland List" by the State Council in 1992.
1989, Chen Baosheng patrols in Wetland Park as usual.
A gunshot aroused Chen Baosheng's high alert, and then the screams of birds came not far away.
"Someone actually dares to hunt in my territory. Did he eat leopard courage?" Chen Baosheng ran over there and muttered.
Chen Baosheng ran to the lake and saw several teenage children shooting with a hunting rifle.
Chen Baosheng was anxious: "This is a national protected area. Who gave you the courage to come here to hunt?"
When several children were about to fire the second shot, they were stopped by Chen Baosheng.
When a few children saw someone coming, they quickly paddled the boat into the reeds and ran away.
Chen Baosheng had no boat next to him at that time, so he didn't chase him. He glanced around and saw a red-crowned crane on the lake surface injured.
htmlJilin was already very cold in October, and a layer of ice had already formed on the lake.
was so anxious at that time. Although the lake surface is frozen, it is not solid. When you walk over the ice, you will definitely break the ice and fall into it.
If you row over, there are no ready-made boats nearby.
When he was struggling with what to do, the red-crowned crane let out a chirping. Chen Baosheng looked over and saw that the white feathers of the red-crowned crane had been dyed red.
Chen Baosheng saw that his injury was so serious, and he didn't care about his life comforting him. He hurriedly took off his cotton jacket and spread it on the ice. He lay on the cotton jacket, and used his hands as oars. He carefully paddled forward little by little, which could be said to be moving over.
You should know that the lake water at this time is about minus 5 degrees. Chen Baosheng's hands were frozen red, but the ice on the lake was not very thick. If he accidentally fell into the ice hole and his body was quickly frozen and no one was rescued by him, he might be in danger of life.
God blessed, Chen Baosheng finally rowed near the red-crowned crane with a "human boat" and successfully rescued this little pitiful one.
Baosheng took the red-crowned crane home to take good care of it. Fortunately, the bullet did not hit the body, but only scratched the legs.
In less than half a month, through Baosheng's professional care, the red-crowned crane can already walk on the ground.
In order to allow the red-crowned crane to return to nature as soon as possible, Baosheng feeds it many small fish every day.
Watching the red-crowned crane get healthier day by day, Chen Baosheng felt so happy.
One day after half a month, Baosheng was preparing to return it to nature.
When he came to the lake, he put the red-crowned crane on the ground and watched the red-crowned crane fly away. Baosheng felt very accomplished, although he felt a little reluctant.
Chen Baosheng watched its little baby fly away, nodded with relief, and went back to work.
The next day, I was patrolling the lake as usual.
Suddenly felt something following behind. Baosheng turned around and found that an crane was walking behind her back like an old man.
"You haven't left? Why are you back?" But Baosheng was so surprised.
Baosheng shook his head with a wry smile, and picked up the red-crowned crane as if he was holding a child.
"Let's go, go, go find your parents, you tribes, and come back to see me next year."
After saying that, he put the red-crowned crane into the lake and stopped paying attention to it.
The red-crowned crane flew away tactfully.
But on the third day, the red-crowned cranes flew back.
Chen Baosheng quickly reported this situation to the leader of the unit.
After hearing this, the leader also thought this was incredible. So I found a few people to send the red-crowned cranes to a farther place to release them.
But no matter where you are sent, the red-crowned crane will fly back to the reserve the next day.
The leader really had no choice, so he asked Baosheng to keep the red-crowned crane at home first.
Baosheng was willing and gave it a name: Dabai
From then on, Baosheng took Dabai to work with him every day, walking by the lake with one person and one crane, which has become a beautiful scenery in the reserve.
Time flies, and soon the spring of the second year comes.
One night, I was taking Dabai to patrol the reserve.
A group of red-crowned cranes suddenly flew over their heads, and Dabai raised his head and sang to the sky.
Chen Baosheng touched Dabai and knew that this might be Dabai's family.
"Let's go, your family is here to pick you up. Don't fall behind when you fly away this time."
Dabai looked at Baosheng, then rubbed Baosheng's leg with his head, obviously he looked like he was acting coquettish, but in the end he still flew back to the crane group one by one.
Chen Baosheng drove Dabai back to the crane group, flying into a personal shape in the sky, waved to them with relief, "Remember to come back to see me, see you next year!"
The patrol without Dabai's company is like a soulless job. Over the years, Baosheng has never felt so lonely.
One night, Baosheng pushed his sleeping wife: "Did you hear any sound? Could it be that our Dabai is back?"
Chen Baosheng's wife said: "Are you dreaming? There is no sound."
The wife turned over and fell asleep again.
Chen Baosheng shook his head. Maybe it was my hallucination.
Baosheng missed Dabai and did not sleep well overnight. I got up early the next day and prepared to stroll around the lake in the reserve.
Just the moment Chen Baosheng opened the door, he was stunned. There were two red-crowned cranes standing there in the yard.
Baosheng shouted excitedly: "Dabai is back, Dabai is flying back...."
Chen Baosheng danced excitedly.
Dabai also walked towards Baosheng, spreading his wings, as if he wanted to have a big hug with Baosheng.
This time, Dabai not only flew back by himself, but also brought a red-crowned crane as big as him.
Baosheng was walking in the yard with his hands behind his back, staring at the two little guys: "Dabai has to be you. I found a wife so soon."
Baosheng was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it, very happy about the arrival of this little guy.
"Does Dabai's wife also have a name? What name should I give you?"
Baosheng named Dabai's wife "Xiaobai".
Just like that, Dabai and Xiaobai moved in at Chen Baosheng's house.
This time, it's great. Every day when Baosheng patrolls, one on the left and one on the right. This scene is absolutely unprecedented. Once this news spread, Baosheng became famous in the local area.
Many people came to see the story of Baosheng and made a special trip to see the magical scene of Chen Baosheng patrolling with two cranes.
Later, Dabai and Xiaobai also regarded Baosheng as their family and were unwilling to migrate with the crane group again.
One summer, there was a lot of rain in the sea protection area. I don’t know if it’s because of the weather, the two red-crowned cranes have a particularly irritable temper.
In the middle of the night, most of them had already fallen asleep. Dabai and Xiaobai kept crying on the roof, and from time to time they pecked the roof with their pointed mouths.
Dabai and Xiaobai's abnormal behavior attracted Chen Baosheng's attention. Baosheng put on his clothes and prepared to go out to check the situation.
The moment when the door was opened, Chen Baosheng was stunned.
The sky appeared at night. It was like burning clouds. It all turned dark red. I heard from the old man that this was a sign of a flood.
Chen Baosheng quickly went into the house to wake up his sleeping wife, then ran to the village chief's house, explained the situation to the village chief, and went to the radio station to broadcast the flood warning with a small speaker.
The villagers packed up their valuables, gathered in the small square, and ran to a safe place together.
When they stopped panting and looked back, the village was completely submerged in the flood.
Watching their homes being washed away by the flood, everyone was indescribable to express their sadness. This is the hometown they built here for generations.
When everyone was sad, they found that Dabai and Xiaobai were missing. Everyone ran away without paying attention to them.
Chen Baosheng found that Dabai and Xiaobai didn't follow him, and regretted it and cried.
The villagers rushed up to comfort Baosheng: "It's okay Baosheng, don't worry, they should fly to a higher place, they will definitely be fine."
Chen Baosheng also hoped that the two little guys would be fine, but he didn't know where they were, so he couldn't help but worry.
The incident quickly spread throughout the country, and reporters were also rushing to interview.
From then on, villagers have called the red-crowned crane the 'lucky bird'.
The country has also attached more importance to the protection of red-crowned cranes, and nearby villagers have also joined volunteer organizations to protect red-crowned cranes.
From then on, no one has hunted here, stealed eggs, destroyed public facilities, etc.
Under the joint protection of everyone, the species of migratory birds in Xianghai Wetland Park are becoming more and more numerous, and the environment in the scenic area is getting better and better.
I believe everyone has heard a lot of stories about animals saving people. I believe that animals, like humans, have feelings. As long as we treat them sincerely, they will also regard us as friends.
Now red-crowned cranes have been rated as national first-class protected animals. I hope that each of us can participate in the activities of protecting animals. Only by living a peaceful life with nature can we bring harmony to the earth.
