At noon they hoe up weeds;
Their sweat drips on the soil.
Who knows the rice that feeds
Is the fruit of hard toil!
Food is a necessity for survival. But do you know how much work goes into producing it? The poem The Peasants (II), {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (write) by Li Shen, a Tang Dynasty poet, shows {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (we) the hardship of the peasants.
The first two lines describe a common scene {#blank#}3{#/blank#} peasants are working their lands at noon with the sun {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hang) high in the sky, sweat dripping. In the last two lines, the poet {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (direct) points out that the rice we eat is the fruit of peasants' hard work.
Simple as the poem is in its language, it is profound in the theme, reminding people {#blank#}6{#/blank#} the significance of treasuring food. According to the FAO, an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food, or one-third of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} total food produced for human consumption, is wasted globally each year. Therefore, it's highly suggested that every grain of rice {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (value). In China, we have adopted a law on food waste {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (offer) legal backing to the country's efforts which not only safeguard food security {#blank#}10{#/blank#} promote the traditional virtue of thrift (节俭) as well.
Next time you want to throw away food, please think twice.
