Lonely Travel in the Clouds —— A Lonely and Legendary Soul under Yulong Snow Mountain (1)

From 1922, I came to China unexpectedly. Only one year later, Joseph Charles Francis Rock, a madman in the eyes of westerners, was deeply fascinated by Lijiang, and his violent and restless character disappeared in front of Lijiang, which was bizarre and charming. His stubbornness and conceit were transformed into friendship and trust in the contest with Naxi people. When Locke successfully completed the task of USDA, he accidentally witnessed a cruel and romantic memorial to the death of Naxi people. The shock of this ceremony is enough to completely subvert Locke's world view of typical western thinking. These eight young souls hanging from the treetops believe that they will fly over the mountains with the wind and finally reach an ideal place: paradise on earth, Yulong and the third country. When Locke realized that this incredible paradise was actually on the earth, he began a crazy adventure. But if you want to think of the third country of Yulong, you must get the consent of King Muli. He waited for a year and finally came to Muli Kingdom. However, due to Locke's special status, King Muli did not agree easily. In intense anxiety and uneasiness, Locke waited for the final reply from King Muli.

The opportunity has finally come. On the last night in the Woods, the king summoned Locke, took Locke to the commanding heights of the kingdom with great interest, and proudly showed Locke his land and his people. Muli is located in the southern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in the middle of Hengduan Mountains, with the highest elevation of 5958 meters and the lowest elevation of 1470 meters. The relatively high terrain in Muli makes the vertical changes of climate, soil and vegetation obvious. Therefore, it can be said that there are beautiful scenery, countless rare birds and animals, a wide variety of rare plants and rich natural resources. But farmers here can't stay together This is because most of Muli's territory is located in mountainous areas and there is little cultivated land. In addition, King Muli doesn't care about the lives of the people at all, so the poverty of farmers here is hard to see.

At this time, a huge snow-capped mountain stands in the distance. King Muli pointed to the looming snow-capped mountains and explained: The full name of that area is Gongga Risongbu. According to Tibetan religion, Vajrayana Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva live on the three majestic snow peaks there, so these three snow mountains are also the most famous ones in Gongga Mountain, which is called Shambhala in Tibetan, that is, Shangri-La. Locke was shocked. He never thought that the paradise on earth he missed so much was just around the corner. However, the king then told Locke that there were hundreds of armed gangs hidden in this area, and their cruelty was beyond imagination. These lawless gangsters won't even give face to King Muli himself. Therefore, it is suggested that Locke should never take risks easily. The king's suggestion was actually an order, and the plan to visit the holy mountain was over. Locke stared into the distance. Perhaps to show pity and tolerance, perhaps to comfort Locke's loss, the next day King Muli agreed to Locke's request and took pictures of himself. Although this can't make up for Locke's great regret that he can't go to Yulong's third country, it is a necessary comfort to his efforts. However, history always shows its humor in ways beyond people's imagination. A king hiding in the mountains southwest of China and another explorer from the western world didn't expect this photo to make them famous at the same time.

At this time, Locke was full of doubts. King Muli's refusal seems to be not only for security reasons, but also an outsider in his eyes. Looking back at Muli City, Luo's loss is obvious, but it is not a tortuous adventure, nor is it just the loss of several animal specimens. His trip to Shangri-La seems to be turning quietly. In the blue night sky, the trance-like soul flashed and stood out among the Dongba scriptures in Luo's hands. Those who survived the extinction cherish animals and plants, which once troubled him. It turns out that this is just a shortcut to success, and the local people he wants to deal with are just tools to help him realize his dream. At this moment, he found that it is these so-called tools that constitute a powerful human landscape. He wants to go deep into it, and he doesn't want to be an outsider anymore.

That night, Locke had a strange dream, in which he returned to the fairy tale world surrounded by mountains. It is so beautiful and quiet, the people there are kind and simple, and the king is kind and enthusiastic. Locke even dreamed of gold and unforgettable food, and everything was so comfortable and beautiful.

In reality, Wu Ruilong used to be an international expert engaged in hotel management and personnel training for 40 years. In addition to filming, he also helped Lijiang Hotel to organize a 10-day Lijiang Tourism Industry High-end Forum, which brought together senior managers of all hotels in Lijiang. This is an important professional and technical exchange activity. Now people all over the world are concentrated in Lijiang. I try to do something for Lijiang and bring everyone to Lijiang. Locke has also made more contributions to help Lijiang, such as helping to improve local medical care. Wu Ruilong learned that after Locke's trip to Muli, he began to have a strong curiosity about the unique and mysterious culture of Naxi people. Although Yulong's trip to the third country ended in failure, Locke believed that if he could read Dongba and understand its exact meaning, he would finally understand the true meaning of Yulong's third country to Naxi people, which undoubtedly made up for his great regret that he could not come in person.
