2065438+August 2007 65438+March 2007 Walking in West Sichuan

It has been four days since I left western Sichuan. The abuse in these three days is unforgettable and has left many feelings.

Siguniang Mountain has three scenic spots: Shuangqiaogou, Changping Valley and Haizigou. This trip starts from Siguniang Mountain, Rilong Town, and directly takes the sightseeing bus in Changping Valley to the Lama Temple, and starts hiking. Generally speaking, the difficulty is increasing day by day. On the first day, half of the journey was a plank road, and the other half was a hillside and jungle. The next day, I basically walked through the jungle all day; Set out in the early morning of the third day, climb directly for 4 hours to reach the Chazigou Pass, and the distance from the campsite to the Pass is 830 meters above sea level. After getting off the pass, there is basically no road. We first walked in the rubble for about three and a half hours, and then spent two hours through a virgin forest before reaching Bipenggou. People are basically exhausted.

Compared with the crowded Shuangqiaogou, there are fewer people after leaving the plank road in Changpinggu. Especially after starting from Mule Camp the next morning, we were the only one in the whole mountain. The snow-capped mountains in the distance, the surrounding jungles and streams, as well as the yak and horses in the range, are quiet and peaceful in the scenery, which is a place I have never been to.

I used to hike in several national parks in the United States. I especially remember that in the Arch Canyon, I followed the instructions on the ground and headed for the double "O" without water. The farther the road goes, the more thirsty my mouth is, but I always feel ahead and don't want to give up. When I finally stood in front of it after more than an hour, I was actually a little dehydrated. On the way back, I walked with a French girl and chatted happily with each other. She may think I'm interested in her, but what I'm really interested in is two bottles of water next to her backpack.

The advantage of this kind of hiking is that as long as you go forward, you don't need to look back. Because of this, we can't miss any beautiful scenery. The weather on the plateau is changeable, from clear skies to overcast clouds in Wan Li, it may only take half an hour, and the scenery of snow-capped mountains sometimes casts a shadow with the climate change. Roads on the ground are also dangerous, especially when crossing some swamps. We must constantly use trekking poles to test the softness of the land and how to pass carefully. Climbing poles are even more essential when crossing wooden bridges or streams. Sometimes, I really doubt that if I don't have two trekking poles, I won't walk in the future.

The difficulty of the trip on the third day can be said to be far beyond my imagination. At two o'clock in the morning, it directly hit the pass, with a straight line height of 830 meters. The air on the plateau is thin and the slope is extremely steep, which is a test for everyone's physical strength and willpower. What is even more unexpected is that compared with uphill, downhill is more than twice as difficult. We have just received the news of the Jiuzhaigou earthquake through the rocky piles all over the mountain. Every time I look back at those large and small stones, I feel that they must have rolled down after the earthquake. If we shake them a little now, we may all be doomed. It is impossible to speed up the pace and leave the danger. The whole hillside is full of stones and gravel, and the slope is very steep. If you are not careful, you will slip. Sadly, we have been walking on this road for about three hours, but there is still no end. The despair in our hearts cannot be expressed in words.

During this hike, I remembered the Long March more than 80 years ago. Of course, the Red Army did not follow our route, but the hardships of Jin Jia Mountain, Mengding Mountain, Summer Snow Mountain, Changde Mountain, Zhan Gu Mountain and Songpan Prairie in Maohai should have exceeded our route. And they don't have trekking poles, coats, tents or sleeping bags. More importantly, it is impossible for them to establish a base area in Sichuan (the textual research of 65438+ 10,000-word papers is omitted here), and I don't know whether Liu Zhidan and Jeremy Goldkorn in northern Shaanxi will become another Zhang and Chen Changhao. Knowing nothing, how can they, especially those leaders, have the iron will and optimism to continue? We are far apart from each other!

Finally, I walked down exhausted. Although I am physically and mentally exhausted, it is also a small challenge for me. When I travel, whenever I am exhausted, I will look at the distant snow-capped mountains or lakes below, think about the optimism of young people many years ago, and realize that "life is not just in front of me, but also poetry and distance". More importantly, we also have hope, and the immediate suffering will become the beginning of our future life and the capital we boast to our descendants. As Mao Mu said in The Chains of Life, I don't think about what will happen in the future. What's the point of life if you think about today and worry about tomorrow all day? Even if things can't get any worse, I think there is always a way to go.

Oh, Mao Mu also said in The Moon and Sixpence that in order to keep the soul quiet, a person should do two things he doesn't like every day. The person who said this sentence is a wise man, and I have been following this motto meticulously: Because I get up every morning and sleep every day. Ha ha!
