The big fish chased the small fish and rushed out of the water together, passing the egret. The egret looked surprised and did not know where the small fish would go under the laws of nature? Just like a poem: I pass by you, you come in a hurry, and before I realize it, you have gone far away, leaving me with a regretful back. Biodiversity fills the Earth with vitality and is also the foundation for human survival and development. Protecting the biodiversity of the Earth requires every human being to work together to protect the environment and live in harmony. （Taken in Xiamen, China）
