Why do some elderly people in China love to grow flowers, grass and vegetables?

Growing vegetables is a talent of China people, which is recognized by international friends. You can go anywhere you want. Once, an old mother went to the United States to accompany her. She reclaimed a vegetable field nearby and planted vegetables. This is amazing for foreigners who have never planted vegetables and are used to buying them in supermarket convenience stores!

No matter in the countryside or in the city, those with open space are cultivated and planted, and those without open space are planted on their roofs and balconies. The flower beds in some small cities have been used, and growing vegetables is the most popular thing for the elderly.

This is related to the history of China. China is a big agricultural country with a long history of growing vegetables. Most old people, whether urban or rural, have had the experience of farming. At that time, the educated youth went to the countryside and learned the technique of growing vegetables. After returning to the city, they were rediscovered and became the joy of life.

Old people in rural areas have worked hard all their lives. It can be said that they have been taken to farmland since they can do things. Adults are farming, children are playing around, and when they grow up, they start farming by themselves. When they are old, they can't do heavy manual work, and it is still possible to grow vegetables and be self-sufficient. Many old people in rural areas have to grow vegetables to support the elderly.

In small cities, children take their parents to the city to support the elderly, and the elderly leave the farmland, so life will be a bit boring in the city, so growing vegetables has become a way to kill time and has a sustenance.

Fresh vegetables in the city are expensive, and there may be pesticide residues. Old people also want to do something for their children. Growing vegetables is a sign of caring, that is, saving family expenses and eating vegetables with confidence.

It is also related to the low requirements for growing vegetables and the short growth cycle of vegetables. A flowerpot, a waterproof case, soil and fertilizer can grow vegetables on roofs and balconies. Most vegetables are planted in a simple way and have a short growth cycle, which can be eaten in a few days and months. Time sows seeds, some will germinate and some will not.

Isn't that what growing vegetables is all about? In any case, when you are full of Beidacang, you should also remember the thorns along the way from Beidahuang; Keep in mind the Excellence of super rice and the breakthrough of sea rice, and also remember the hard work of being poor and white. In fact, there is no talent for growing vegetables, but the people of China firmly believe in the values of heaven and diligence; No natural skills. In the final analysis, it is the deep feelings forged by Chinese civilization with the land for thousands of years. "As you sow, you reap what you sow" is the experience and teaching of China people from generation to generation.
