It can be said that the setting of forest men is a bright point in “Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind”. What on earth can men live like? How deep is our desire? How can we satisfy it? Since the ancient times, these questions have been troubling numerous people in generations. It seems that no one could answer those questions.
There are 7 times of appearance for forest men, the first appearance was in the deadly chase of Yupa by the Tolmekian, when the spaceship was shot down, the wormhandlers heard the whistling of forest men when they were about to cut off the hands of Yupa who was fainted as the evidence. The wormhandlers were both fearful and respectful to those people who were like ghosts and escaped rapidly for which the group of Yupa was saved. To tell the truth, I though Yupa and his fellows would be captured as food during the first time when I watched this part lol
Forest men are actually the most excellent clan of bloodline among the first ancestors of wormhandlers, they are the descendants of ancient Avatars. When the Tsunami happened three hundred years ago, they followed the blue coated men and entered the forest. Since then, they gave up the application of fire, they wore the casing of insects, ate eggs of insects and lived in the bubble tent formed by the body liquid of insects… they gave up the life of cities completely and chose to be combined with the Sea of Corruption. To outsiders, the Sea of Corruption is a fearful object, while to the forest men, it is a warm and comfortable home. On the other aspect, the forest also offered them in return, not only did it provide them the clothes, food, accommodation and transportation, it also gifted them the super powers for which they can communicate freely with mental power, their spirit can get rid of their body for travel around the world…they are quite satisfied with their living status. In particular, without the noise of cities and the desert of fire, the emblem of civilization, the calmness, - the tranquility and serene of their inner heart is full of joy and appreciation, it seems like the peaceful lake under the gentle breeze with occasional ripples… in fact, the calmness and satisfaction like this is happiness.
The experiment for the mixed cultivation of paramecium is very inspiring; in the first time, the experimenter raised the big paramecium and the small paramecium together in a bottle which is over the allowed density for which the large paramecium was dead for the result of competition between species. In the second time, the experimenter raised the large paramecium with another kind of paramecium in the shape of pocket. The same competition between species occurred but there was no extinction for either of the parties. The original lifestyles of both paramecium are camping swimming, however, a week later, the large paramecium continued the life of swimming in the upper half of the bottle, while the paramecium in the shape of pocket turned to the life of benthic camp and stayed at the bottom of the bottle. The two parties, especially the paramecium in the shape of pocket, changed their habit and living environment for which they can continue to survive in the meantime of change for the environment.
Life itself is flexible; this is the reflection for the greatness of life. Every time the environment changes and the condition for the survival of organisms diminishes, the rest organisms can only do two things: fight each other for the remained resources, the strong one shall survive; or adapt to a new environment, change the habit of living, eating, breeding and even breathing to obtain everything in need for the survival in the new environment. If it is for the previous one, they will compete with the close relatives and gradually, their teeth and claws become sharper and their angles become larger…; for the latter one, they will grow with lung, feet and wing for the survival in the new environment … this is named as – evolution.
