The Continuation of Life

The living are living, the dead are dying
In front of us
There are countless deaths
Behind us
There are also countless lives
Time is thus recurring
Life is thus reincarnating
Although it's the same cycle
But in essence, it has already changed greatly
The earliest humans ate
Wild fruits they picked
Later people ate
Crops they planted and ground themselves
Even later
Like what we eat now
Not only were they planted and ground by others, but also cooked by others
The earliest humans wore
Animal skins, directly peeled
Later people wore
Hemp clothes, woven and sewn themselves
Even later
Like what we wear now
The thread was spun by others, the cloth was woven by others, and the clothes were sewn by others
The earliest humans daily worked on
Agriculture
Producing grains, mulberry trees, hemp, life, to ensure full stomachs and warm clothing
Later, most people
Worked in handicrafts or industry
Making daily necessities, thousands of varieties, to enrich life
Even later people
Like what we do now
Are in service, commerce, information industries
Diverse and countless, used to satisfy people's needs for food, clothing, and various desires after being full
The earliest humans lived in
Caves
Later people lived in
Grass houses
Even later people lived in
Tile houses
Now people live in
Buildings stacked countless layers high
The earliest humans when going out
Rely on running, ditches and mountains can block their steps
Later people
Rode horses, rivers could stop your progress
Even later people
Used cars, trains, without roads you couldn't reach destinations
Nowadays
We can fly freely in the sky like birds
If not for generation after generation of those who have fallen
Could we fly?
Could we live in buildings reaching the clouds?
Could we listen to music, watch TV?
And all this
Is something even ancient emperors couldn't enjoy
Yet commoners today can use at will, like the fourteenth Superman of preserved vegetables - preserved vegetables and pork.
Thank those who have fallen
If not for them
There wouldn't be our today
Those who fell are our ancestors
Our grandfathers, great-grandfathers
We not only have their blood flowing in our veins
But also carry their genes deep within
Moreover, all our actions
Are the continuation of their actions
This
Is culture
