On July 9th, 2065438+May, Beijing time, it was reported that a weedy wasteland in the north of Yale University in the United States is now covered with leeks, coriander and other vegetables unheard of by Americans. The Associated Press published an article on the 7th, which reported quite positively that many parents of foreign students from China in Yale University were cultivating vegetable gardens in the school community, and it was also praised by American netizens.
Growing vegetables is supported by Yale school.
According to the report, these vegetable gardens full of "exotic herbs and vegetables" are located on the northern edge of Yale University. With the rapid increase of the number of international students in China, in the past ten years, an overgrown wasteland has developed into a vegetable garden, but now it is full of leeks, parsley and other vegetables unheard of by the American people.
It turns out that parents of China students who are eager to love their children come to the United States to take care of their children. These old people come from different cities and villages in China, but they have a common hobby: growing vegetables. When children study hard at Yale University, parents make friends and eat fresh and familiar vegetables through these gardens. The land where the vegetable garden is located belongs to Yale University and was once overgrown with weeds. Yale University also supported these China parents in that dish and provided them with fertilizer.
According to the report, in 1854, the first international student from China in American history graduated from Yale University. Today, about14 of Yale's international students are from China. Last year's data showed that Yale University had 680 scholars from China, 5 16 graduate students and doctoral students, and 58 undergraduates.
Parents should abide by unwritten rules.
According to reports, some of these parents in China come from cities and some from rural areas, and many of them started to learn to grow vegetables after they came. Ms. Zhang is from Beijing, and her daughter is studying in Yale University Medical College. She had never done farm work before she came to America. She said that farming under the blue sky every day not only harvested fresh vegetables that could not be bought in the market, but also got physical exercise and made many new friends.
As long as parents are willing to grow vegetables, they should consciously abide by some unwritten rules: for example, fertilization can be used, pesticides can not be used; Share your harvested vegetables with your neighbors, even if they don't farm; When away from home, the family will help each other with the vegetable fields. And if someone wants to move away, they need to find a next home to ensure that their vegetable fields are still taken care of.
In addition to all kinds of spices, there are all kinds of beans, tomatoes and so on. The seeds were purchased in the local China market, and all kinds of vegetable crops were shared by families living near China.
Nowadays, this "Yale vegetable field" which took shape ten years ago has grown with the arrival of more and more parents of overseas students, and has attracted the attention of local media and the public, and has been praised by American netizens. Some American netizens said that loving food is a good habit and a healthy eating habit of China people.
