When we are young,we are often told that wolves are evil and cruel.If we weep,adults may frighten us that a wolf is coming.Many editions of the well-known fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood also describe a scaring wolf intending to swallow the little girl.After all the years,we can still think of the green creepy eyes like a ghost in the darkness.But it is not the whole thing.
Wolf is a species that lives long enough to be honored as one of the perfect species in the evolution so far by biologists.For public,Wolf reminds us of Dog,who shares the same ancestor with Wolf.I love wolf far more than dog. It is always touching that we heard about storys that a dog is so loyal to his master that he never leaves even when his master is dead.Nevertheless I appreciate more about the wolf’s loyalty,the loyalty between each other and between male and female.There is a saying that a wolf only has one lifetime campanion.I never know whether there is any law in the wolves to constraint them to do so.But in modern society we human-beings are sometiomes lack of loyalty even within the legal framework,always making one and another excuses.Is it the evolution that we are proud of?
In chinese culture ,we don’t like wolves.I recalls no pieces of literature which have a positive description about wolves,except a martial novel The Eleventh son written by Gu Long.Gu portrays the genius man as a lone wolf. When reading the novel,I am impressed by the man,the wolf man.It is not the super-nature creature in the American series that will turn to a wolf at full moon. it is a man who has the spirit of wolf-independent and submit to no one and nothing, iron-minded,but also tender. There is another exception Huawei,a chinese high-tech cooperation that respects the wolf culture a lot.The CEO Ren Zhengfei concludes that wolf has a keen sense of smell,offensive spirit and a sense of community.In the direction of the culture,Huawei grows to a respectful company.In Chinese history,the early Yuan Dynasty also fits this description and create a tremendous empire ever. I can’t tell that the wolf culture is a perfect one,but it truly makes up some parts that we are lack of.
After thousands of years,dogs are now kept as pets while Wolf is still wolf.
