Yesterday, on social networks, many people breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that D.VL (6 years old, living in Khay Dao village, Lam Giang commune, Van Yen district, Yen Bai province) had been found safe. After 5 days of being lost in the forest.
This is first and foremost a happy ending to an emotional journey, demonstrating the sense of responsibility and compassion of the community. During the past 5 days, the Yen Bai provincial government has mobilized more than 150 people, including rescue forces and local people, to participate in the search for the baby.
This relentless effort has brought good results, and above all, it shows the power of solidarity in the community when facing difficulties and tribulations. This is a valuable lesson about consensus, responsibility and humanity.
The fact that a young child, in the middle of a deep forest, without the care and protection of adults, can still find a way to survive in a harsh environment is not only a touching story about strong vitality. but also a lesson about humanity's ability to cope with the harsh challenges of nature.
The little information that baby D.VL recounted after being found revealed a very remarkable detail: He relied on the simple knowledge about nature that he learned in everyday life. days in the mountains to survive .
I know how to distinguish edible leaves and wild fruits, know how to go to a stream to drink water when I'm thirsty, and when night comes, I find a temporary shelter to sleep overnight. Those are skills that not all children, especially those in the city, can grasp and use in such life and death situations.
This raises a big question about the value of proximity to nature in developing basic survival skills.
While many children in big cities are often caught up in the whirlwind of technology, modern conveniences, private tutoring and sometimes unreasonable indulgence from their parents, in rural areas, mountains, children still retain their connection to nature and basic life skills that we sometimes accidentally ignore.
This event also makes us reflect on how to educate children, especially about the importance of teaching children basic life skills early, instead of turning them into "industrial chickens". , only knows how to study well but lacks the ability to face the sometimes extremely harsh realities of life!
