17 Mysteries in the Valley
There is a north-south valley in Quebec, Canada. There is nothing special about the valley. The only thing that attracts attention is that its western slope is covered with pine, cypress, eucalyptus, privet and other miscellaneous trees, while the eastern slope is only cedar. This strange landscape has always been a mystery, and no one knows what the answer is. In the winter of 1983, with heavy snowfall, two travelers came to this valley. They set up their tents and looked at the heavy snow flying in the sky. They were suddenly surprised to find that due to the special wind direction, the snow on the east slope of the valley was always heavier than the snow on the west slope. After a while, a thick layer of snow accumulated on the cedars all over the slope. When the snow accumulates to a certain extent, the elastic branches of the cedar begin to bend downward, and the snow slips from the branches. When the pressure is relieved, the branches that just bent rebound immediately, and the cedar still maintains its green and tall appearance. posture. In this way, it accumulates repeatedly, bends repeatedly, and bounces repeatedly... No matter how heavy the snow falls, the cedar is always intact. The mystery was finally revealed: there was heavy snow on the east slope, and because the other trees did not have the ability of cedar, their branches were broken by the snow, and they gradually lost their vitality. The snow on the west slope is light, and the small amount of snow on the trees cannot hold down the branches. Therefore, in addition to cedar, tree species such as cedar, pine, cypress, and privet also survived. The travelers in the tent were delighted with their discovery. One said: "I'm sure there were miscellaneous trees growing on the east slope, but they were destroyed by the heavy snow because they couldn't bend." After a while, another person seemed to suddenly understand something and said, "I got it. It gave me a revelation - external pressure can be overcome through head-on struggle, but sometimes it is necessary to bend like a cedar and make appropriate concessions in order to have a chance to rebound. "Indeed, sometimes bending does not mean surrender and destruction. , but for survival and better development.
