在我的家乡闽南农村,一直到上世纪80年代,耕牛仍是农民家里主要的辅助劳力,家家户户皆喂养着耕牛,农民将牛视为农家宝。农村的孩子在假期中,不像城市的孩子一样上各种培训班,而是利用假期帮家长干各种力所能及的农活,放牛也就成了村童们的农活。在放牛的过程中,孩童们快乐无比。他们与牛为伴,和牛相亲相依,在农村广阔天地的原生态大课堂,既学会了放牧技能,又陶冶了从小热爱劳动、热爱大自然的情操。 In my hometown of Minnan, until the 1980s, cattle farming was still the main supplementary laborer for peasant families. Every family and household were fed cattle, and peasants regarded the cattle as peasant treasure. In rural areas, children do not have the same kinds of training classes as their children in the holidays. Instead, they use the holidays to help their parents to do all they can to help them farm their cattle. In the process of cattle-raising, the children are very happy. As partners with cattle, they live in harmony with cattle. In the original ecological classrooms of vast rural areas, they not only learned the grazing skills but also cultivated their childhood love of nature and love of nature.
