Information on Crows and their characteristics
Crows were a type of bird with many characteristics. In terms of appearance, it was completely black. Its cry was hoarse and desolate. This characteristic made people regard it as an "ominous sign", giving rise to a saying like "crow's mouth" to describe inauspicious speech. In traditional China culture, it was regarded as a symbol of ominous omen. However, in some foreign areas, crows had different symbolic meanings. For example, in Japan, they were regarded as "divine birds" and "auspicious birds". In Britain, they were a kind of "sacred object". The raven on the Tower of London symbolized "the protection of the royal power". Judging from their behavior, crows liked to eat rotten meat. Moreover, because creatures would emit a special smell three days before their death, crows were sensitive to this smell and would gather around the dying person, which deepened the negative impression people had of them. But in fact, crows were quite intelligent, and they were veritable "birds of wisdom." For example, they could drink water by throwing stones to raise the water level like in the story of "Crow Drinks Water." They also evolved to know how to open the faucet to drink water with their mouths. In Sendai, Japan, crows would wait for the traffic lights to turn green by the roadside and throw nuts in front of the wheels. When they wanted to get something from humans, they would pull open their shoelaces to trick people into putting it down. They would use tools to process branches into hooks and reach into tree holes to hook out insects. They also had long-term memory, and could recognize and remember people's faces. The University of Washington researchers found that crows that were caught would remember the person who caught them and "retaliate", even years later. In terms of cultural works, there was a movie of the same name,"The Crow," adapted from the comic book of the same name released by James Aubert in 1989. The movie told the story of the rock musician Ai Wei, who died in the process of revenge because his fiancée was raped and killed. However, a year later, he was resurrected with the power of the crow and began his journey of revenge. The movie's lead actor, Lee Guohao (son of Bruce Lee), was shot dead by a real bullet fired from a prop gun on the set in 1993. The film was released in the United States on May 11, 1994. It also released three sequels and related TV series. In 2022, the restart was filmed in the Netherlands. As of February 2024, the global box office gross was 50,694,671 US dollars, and it had won many nominees and awards. In addition, in the novel "Dragon Clan" and its derivative works, there was also a character named Ryuji Saehara named "Crow." He was good at using guns and was good at strategy. He was similar to a military counselor. After experiencing many incidents, he died of excessive blood loss due to a knife wound. "The Crow's Testimony" is equally exciting.
