    However, if the couple adheres to the traditional land-based lifestyle, such as carefully tending to the farmland every day, following the ancient farming schedules and planting methods, and enjoying the peaceful rural life, it is worthy of admiration. For example, they work from dawn to dusk on the land, grow healthy and organic agricultural products, and share the joy of harvest with their neighbors, which reflects their love for the traditional lifestyle and respect for nature.

     

    If it is mentioned in the text that the children are exposed to a lot of new technologies, such as using modern equipment to manage agriculture, while the couple refuses to accept these new things, it cannot be simply said that they are unable to keep up with the times. Perhaps they just have their own profound and traditional understanding of the land, believing that the traditional farming methods can better ensure the quality of the land's output and the authenticity of their own lives.

    I think they can't keep up with The Times. With the continuous development of society, we can only keep pace with The Times by changing our ideas. If we only stick to one piece of land, it is not conducive to the development and progress of the country

    I appreciate the couple. They have a deep connection to the land. For example, they know every detail about farming it. They aren't too old to keep up; instead, they hold onto traditional values. Their simple life, like tending to the land daily, shows a meaningful and rooted way of living that's worthy of admiration.

    I think the couple in the article are very industious and down-to-earth, and I believe they will not be forced to change themselves due to the times, because they have always loved their ancestors' land. I like their current way of life, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and desires.

    The article describes the couple getting up early every day, working on their own land and growing the food they need. Their life is simple and full, without the noise and complicated interpersonal relationships in the city. They are closely connected with the land and enjoy the gifts of nature, such as sitting in their yard every evening, watching their crops and feeling the changes of the four seasons. This close to nature and self-sufficient lifestyle is what many people yearn for, which embodies a life attitude of returning to nature.

    The couple in "Message of the Land" appears to have a deep connection to their land and traditions. They seem to value their heritage and the cultural practices associated with it. This dedication to preserving their roots is commendable and shows a strong sense of identity and belonging.

    While some might argue that they are too old to adapt to modern changes, I believe that age should not be a barrier to learning and adapting. The couple's commitment to their land and culture can inspire others to appreciate and preserve their own traditions. Their story highlights the importance of maintaining a balance between embracing new technologies and preserving cultural heritage.

    For example, the couple could use modern communication tools to share their knowledge and stories with younger generations, thereby bridging the gap between tradition and modernity. This approach would allow them to stay connected with the present while honoring their past.

    Hardworking and Tenacious: It can be seen from the text that this couple is closely linked to the land.

    This couple is very hardworking and loves their land and children. But they are traditional. With the development of the times, if they want to change, they can partially keep up with the times, just like their children. It doesn't matter if they don't want to change. They have their own way of life, which is also great. What I admire most is that they can love their land.

    I think  the couple stick to tradition,they respect and pass on the local marriage customs;they are hardworking and tenacious.Although the land is no longer fertile,they still work hard to support their family;they love the land.The couple has deep feelings for the land,which is the basis of their life and spiritual sustenance;they value family.Try to bring up the children and create better living conditions for them as much as possible.

    I do not  think they are too old for the times. Their attachment to the land where they raised themselves is becoming more and more precious in modern society. It is a kind of inheritance of traditional  farming culture and hometown emotion. From this perspective, they are not completely behind The Times, but in their own way, they are guarding some values that should not be forgotten.

    I think this couple is hardworking and simple. They were young once, and it was the changes of the times that made it difficult for them to keep up with the trends. And they don't really want to completely change their traditional lifestyle. They are firmly rooted in the land, working hard, and guarding their initial hearts in the turbulence. I appreciate their lifestyle. They are traditional farmers who, despite facing many temptations in the era of great change, remain grounded and continue to pass on the land with perseverance and strength, unyielding and persistent in adversity, calmly accepting the setbacks of life, in sharp contrast to the restlessness of people's hearts in today's world.

    Message of the Land is a short story by Pearl S. Buck, which tells the story of an old couple who are struggling to keep up with the changing times. The couple, Mr. and Mrs. Wang, have lived in their village all their lives and are used to the traditional ways of farming and living. However, with the arrival of modern technology and new ways of doing things, they find themselves struggling to keep up.

     

    Their children, who have moved to the city, often visit them and try to convince them to change their ways and adopt new methods of farming and living. However, the old couple is resistant to change and prefer to stick to their traditional ways.

     

    In my opinion, the couple's resistance to change is understandable given their age and the fact that they have lived in the same place all their lives. They are comfortable with their traditional ways of living and are not interested in changing their lifestyle.

     

    However, their children's concerns about their parents' ability to keep up with the times are also valid. The world is changing rapidly and it is important to adapt to new ways of doing things in order to survive and thrive.

     

    Overall, I believe that both the old couple and their children have valid points of view. It is important to respect the old couple's desire to maintain their traditional ways of living while also recognizing the need to adapt to changing circumstances.

    The wife and husband deeply cherish traditional values. 

    Maybe.

    While the couple may seem out of step with the times in some ways, their traditional values, deep attachment to the land, and simple way of life are also worthy of appreciation. They represent a disappearing way of life and carry the "message of the land" that is gradually being forgotten in the modern world.

    I think this couple is traditional, but their ideas are also worth learning. It is true that they cannot keep up with the rapid development of The Times, but living in a way that suits them is the most important thing. As long as you live comfortably is the best way of life. I admire their way of life, and if I have the chance, I would like to try living like them.

    Although this couple's lifestyle is different from the mainstream of modern society, their persistence, simplicity, and love for life all have positive meanings that deserve our understanding and appreciation. We cannot simply think that they are out of touch with the times, but should see the value and meaning in their lifestyle. In some ways, I admire their way of life. The first important point is that their adherence to the land deserves respect and admiration. The second is their way of life with their own unique outlook on life, values, world view. In the end,their emotional connection to the land has enriched their spiritual world. Therefore, at present, it is a good thing to experience the ordinary rural life from the article again.
