寻找冬虫夏草

In Search of Chinese Caterpillar Fungus

一种虫儿和草不经意的合体,竟然引发了东南沿海一带一场进补、壮阳的狂潮;在青藏高原的雪峰下,曾经是淳朴、恬静的心灵开始躁动、迷乱,无情的双手在毁灭自己的家园和明天;连六、七岁的小孩儿,也投入了搜寻虫草的大军;我们不愿意再看下去这样的现实:一些享受高度文明的人,在无意中诱导着对人类最后一片净土的摧毁。

Chinese caterpillar fungus, a medicinal herb known as 'a worm in winter and a plant in summer', is believed to have a magical effect on one's health. As the highly demanding market grows, sadly the land where it is produced, the Tibet Plateau, suffers grave ecological losses as the fungus is rampantly collected.
