A trip to Tibet-Close contact with the gods (originally created in 2009)

Perhaps because I grew up on the grassland, I have always had a special attachment and affection for the western regions. Tibet has always been my childhood dream. I have felt the mystery of Tibetan Buddhism, the magic of reincarnation and the solemnity of celestial burial in countless dreams; I have also experienced the extreme romance in Cangyang Jiacuo's That Night countless times. I actually had a chance to go to Tibet when I was a freshman, but I always insisted that Tibet must go with the people I like, so I didn't make it. Then, even after graduation and busy with work, I continued to walk around the world, just like a standard trapeze artist. Tibet, too, has been shelved by me for more than ten years.

By then, in 2009, a group of comrades in the Gobi Desert of the Yangtze River plan to hike the Yarlung Zangbo River under the organization of old talents, and my dream of Tibet can finally come true. On April 26th, I couldn't wait to take a half-day leave and flew from Chengdu to Lhasa at 3pm. If you want to get to Tibet before the big army, you must experience the solemnity and solemnity of Potala Palace as soon as possible. When the plane is approaching Tibet, you can see the rolling snow-capped mountains, some mysterious and some lonely. My dream is coming true. I was just thinking about it. Suddenly, there was news on the radio that the plane would return to Chengdu because of the strong wind in Lhasa. In a flash, I felt my head was going to explode. How come... Am I not religious enough to come to the snowy plateau where God lives? !

I stayed in airport hotel for one night, took the first flight the next day and flew again. I arrived in Lhasa smoothly this time. Gao Lu's grandson has already met us at the airport. I met Eddie Cheung, Tong Xin, the tenth old man, and the ostrich and Yuyao of Jiaotong University at the airport. Then I took an hour's ride and finally came to Lhasa. After throwing the luggage into the room, Sigh took us to the street for a lunch with western characteristics, and then we came to Bajiao Street non-stop. Bajiao Street, located in the center of the ancient city of Lhasa, is the most intact street in Lhasa, and it is also a gathering place of religion, economy, culture, national handicrafts and even Tibetan customs. Here, we can fully appreciate all kinds of customs in Tibet, and the unique antique shops and smooth bluestone roads tell us the history of Lhasa. Numerous handcrafts show us the culture and art of Lhasa. One by one, old people and children wearing local costumes passed by us, telling us their kindness and happiness with pure eyes. And all this has deeply touched those of us who have lived in big cities for a long time. Eddie Cheung and Tong Xin greedily took photos, Yuyao bought local clothes and put them on, trying to blend in with the locals, while Lao Cong and I walked lazily, slowly enjoying the romance on the roadside. I don't think it already exists. We came to Jokhang Temple. Jokhang Temple is the most brilliant building in Tibet during the Tubo period, and it is also the oldest existing civil structure building in Tibet, creating a Pingchuan-style temple layout in Tibet. Jokhang Temple, which combines the architectural styles of Tibet, Tang, Nepal and India, has become an eternal model of Tibetan religious architecture. Jokhang Temple is dedicated to the statue of Sakyamuni (12 years old) brought by Princess Wencheng from Chang 'an, Datang, and occupies a supreme position in Tibetan Buddhism. After visiting the main hall on the first floor, we went to the second and third floors overlooking the Potala Palace and felt this holy place in the shallow twilight, as if washing our souls,,,

After returning to the hotel, most of the troops have arrived. All the others went to the hotel except Professor Li He and Professor Li He who went directly to Linzhi. The old talents specially hosted a welcome banquet for us and invited the captain and secretary of the Tibetan mountaineering team to add a lot of color to the banquet. The people who came here this time, besides arriving this morning, went directly to Linzhi, including the tenth issue, Jin Peng, Kangaroo, Wei Qiang, the seventh issue of Yan Jun, the twelfth issue of the Army, Xiong Yong, Frant Gwo, Dean Xue and his students, Peking University blogger Li Mei, Central European smiling face Wang Lingjiang, Xiao Yan, and the couple known as the Yellow River Business School. If we count Pengfei who came the next day, there are 36 of us, which is a good soldier in Mazhuang. After dinner, some of our classmates didn't want to go to bed early, so they came to Maggie Ami Bar in Bajiao Street. Maggie Amy is filled with lazy breath, comfortable sofa and relaxing music, which is a bit like a silver table in a bar; The dazzling array of books on the bookshelf in the corner can deepen your yearning for this mysterious city; On the wall, on the table, and even with the eyes, there are vivid and exquisite ornaments; There is also a guest book I wrote in Tianya, with blessings, melancholy, rhetoric and sentimental feelings. What we miss most is the touching poem written by Cang Jia Jia Cuo to Muguami: "On the top of the mountain in the east, the bright moon rises and the face of Muguami gradually emerges." In such a romantic place, our emotions have also been mobilized. Kangaroos came to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for the first time, and then some of us sang songs and some recited poems. With the darkness and the sweetness of highland barley wine, all of us have long forgotten where we are. If you don't have to get up early tomorrow, it is estimated that you will party until dawn.

The next day, after breakfast, we came to the legendary temple-Potala Palace. Eddie Cheung and Tong Xin came to Potala Palace early to shoot. The Potala Palace was built in the 7th century A.D. during the period of Songzan Gambu, the king of Tibet, with a history of 1300 years. It is built on a mountain, with overlapping buildings and rugged halls. It is magnificent, falling from the sky, and the colors of red, white and Huang San are in sharp contrast. The architectural forms are built in sections and nested layer by layer, all of which reflect the charming characteristics of Tibetan ancient buildings. The palace consists of the White House in the east (where the Dalai Lama lives) and the Red Palace in the middle (Buddhist temples and Lingta halls of the Dalai Lama in previous dynasties). We started from the White House, walked room by room from east to west, and went to the highest toilet in the world. There are stupas of successive French kings and Dalai Lama in Potala Palace, with a large number of murals, scriptures and countless treasures and works of art. During the whole visit, we have only one feeling, that is, "reverence", reverence for history, reverence for gods, and reverence for the mystery and wisdom revealed by this Millennium palace. Among the Dalai Lama of all previous dynasties, the most successful is the Fifth Dalai Lama. His stupa is also the most luxurious, made of pure gold and inlaid with countless treasures. It is said that a stupa can buy half the world and six Shanghai, which shows the preciousness of Potala Palace. Accompanied by the sweet piling sound of female workers in Potala Palace, we ended our visit, had lunch in a hurry and drove to Linzhi.

The scenery along the way is very good, but the altitude has been rising, and it has risen to more than 5000 meters at the Serra Pass. Eddie Cheung and Lao Cong, who have been coming from the United States nonstop, have begun to take oxygen, and everyone has more or less headaches and asthma. It was not until we arrived in Namco seven hours later that everyone's mood was driven by the beautiful lake. In Tibetan, Namtso means Tianhu, which is supplemented by the melting ice and snow of Nyainqentanglha Mountain. Many streams flow along the lake. The lake is clear and transparent, the lake is sky blue, and the water and sky are the same. It seems to be a feeling of being in a fairyland. It may be the season, but we don't seem to have other tourists who can enjoy the tranquility and romance alone. All of us, either sitting by the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery or taking pictures everywhere, have long forgotten the altitude sickness just now. The car has been driving for nearly two hours. After passing the frontier station in Linzhi, we finally arrived at Linzhi Hotel. With our Liu Jiaoshou, businessmen, the so-called Empress Dowager Cixi, Chen Cheng and Wang Lu, this great group is finally in order. After a special dinner, we hurried back to sleep after being tired. See you tomorrow, Yarlung Zangbo River.

Early the next morning, we drove to the starting point of the first day of hiking. We were divided into several groups in the car. The first team is the so-called Yellow River Team, the second team is Yajiang Team, the third team is the third phase of our Gobi, the fourth team is the first and second phases of Gobi, and there is the lone ranger Sun Bo. Everyone chose the captain and made the team flag. About three hours later, we arrived at the entrance of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and the four-day hiking began. The starting point is a suspension bridge, which is long and spectacular. Girls are still very nervous when they walk by, and they walk by with small steps. We almost ran there. Yan Jun sprained his foot while playing ball before coming. We live together these days, so I take care of him. We walked slowly on the road. Eddie Cheung, Tong Xin and Sun Bo are taking pictures in the back. We walked together, almost for a walk. It wasn't long before we saw the second suspension bridge, which was more dangerous and spectacular. We just stopped and kept admiring and taking pictures. Haijiu and Gaolu kept urging us to leave, but we just ignored them. I didn't know how beautiful it was here until I came. Along the way, there is a suspension bridge that "cuts off Wushan Yu Yun and stands on the stone wall of Xijiang River". There are cliffs such as knives and axes; There is a big river with huge waves like tigers; There are plank roads as steep as the ancient Shu Road and green agate-like vegetation. We are completely conquered by the ingenuity of nature and don't feel slower and slower. Slowly, it was getting dark, and Yan Jun's feet seemed to hurt more and more, but he refused to get on the horse anyway, so we had to walk slowly behind. Sun Bo is always with us. He didn't talk much when he was in Gobi. This time, he said a lot. Only then did I know that I went to college in Xi 'an, my hometown, and my first lover was Xi Jiaotong University. Hehe, it's a small world. Anyway, when I was idle, Sun Bo and I started to compare poems and couplets, hehe. Word came from the front that their first echelon arrived at the camp early. Jaco, Yuan Bo and Liu Jiaoshou are all our strongmen, and I began to worry about how to take such a steep road if it was too dark. While speaking, Lu Junhe had come back to meet us, Yanjun got on the horse under our persuasion, and we soon arrived at the camp. On my first day in a tent, I couldn't sleep. Sun Bo and I continued to talk about poetry. The army next to us is so sour that we have nothing to say, haha.

The next day, several members of the Yellow River team went back ahead of schedule, leaving only three people, but in the words of captain Wang Zhanjun, "the organizational system is still there." Yan Jun and Yuyao also stayed in the camp, waiting for us under our persuasion. Sun Bo helped them find books, and Chen Cheng found some cans for them. See you the night after tomorrow, enjoy your two-person world and don't forget to write a repentance book. The next day, we started our hiking while joking with them. Today's road section is much more difficult to walk. If you keep going uphill and downhill, people with good physical strength will keep breathing. I still walked behind. Wang Lu and Kangaroo sang many songs for us, which added a lot of joy to the hard hiking. Wei Qiang's task is to protect Wang Lu. I walked with them, but the scenery along the way was still dazzling. When I arrived at Zhaqu Village, I suddenly saw Jaco and Liu Jiaoshou. Haha, it turns out that they went the wrong way, walked for forty or fifty minutes and came back, just meeting us. It's really interesting. We sat on the side of the road to have a rest, Doby and the two of them, and had something to eat to replenish their supplies. Suddenly, I heard Eddie Cheung calling us from a distance. It turned out that he found a good place to see the big bend in Palong Zangbo, and we also rushed there. When he arrived, Eddie Cheung said that when he saw this scene just now, he couldn't help crying. It's beautiful. What Eddie Cheung said is true. I saw green peaks and rivers circling like dragons and flowing down from the foot of the mountain, which gave birth to a long history and splendid Tibetan culture. It is really "there are so many beautiful women in the country, and countless heroes compete." Nangbawa Peak is faintly visible in the distance, but it is shrouded in clouds and can't see the top of the mountain. Chen Cheng kept blowing there, as if to blow away the clouds, and we began to pray quietly. God rewarded us, and we finally saw the top of Nange Baba. Although it is not the main peak, although it is only a few minutes, it is enough, and we will be protected by the gods.

It's almost time to rest. Let's move on. Soon, I saw a big bend in the Yarlung Zangbo River. "High and strong, deep and quiet, long and dangerous, low and wonderful" is a true portrayal here, and a very spectacular scene is displayed in front of us. The swift river flows in the winding canyon, just like it is deeply embedded in the slit opened by the axe. The bottom of the valley is a roaring torrent, and the riverbed beach is dotted with reefs and rocks. Its endless torrent and continuous peaks combine to form a magnificent and moving picture. There are not only abundant hydraulic resources here, but also the formation of landforms here provides valuable conditions for the development and utilization of abundant hydraulic resources. The Yarlung Zangbo River is a veritable mother river in Tibet. Next, we're going through the leech area. Let's have a rest. In the face of such beautiful scenery, we certainly want to play some games. Before we moved on and started crossing the Leech area, we actually played a killing game. This section of the road is really difficult to walk. Most downhill roads are slippery. The trees and plants on both sides are covered with leeches. They suck on the leaves with suckers and their tails fly with the wind. Then you will climb on clothes, bags, hats and even your neck if you are not careful. It is difficult to pull them off by hand, and old salt water has no effect. Basically, you have to snap your fingers to bounce them off. Many times, when you find out, the leeches have already sucked enough blood, and then they have to deal with the bleeding wounds themselves. Many of our players have been bitten, some on their hands, some on their limbs, some on their backs, some on their ears, and even their asses. When we reached the foot of the mountain, our famous Empress Dowager Dongfang and Xigong were in tears. Everyone hates the old talent and says with one voice that they should teach him a good lesson. At the foot of the mountain is a place of zero distance contact with the river. Jaco, Kangaroo and Frant Gwo and I took a bath in the river and then came to our camp. We chose a good campsite, surrounded by mountains, and a clearing in the middle was just right for camping. After we set up the tent, it began to rain heavily, so everyone had to cook in the rain. I felt very tired and too lazy to eat, so I fell asleep in the tent. After a long time, the rain stopped, and suddenly Lu Jun asked me to eat, saying that the meal was ready and I used an old rice basin. After eating in a hurry, I realized that it was actually very hard for everyone to cook in the heavy rain. I can't believe I've been treated like a female player. It's really embarrassing. Originally, there was going to be a bonfire party, but because of the rain, many people went back to sleep after dinner, but I thought it was a waste to sleep in such a beautiful place, so I asked everyone to play truth or dare. Haha, many people are playing truth or dare around the bonfire in the dark. It's so romantic. It's just that everyone is familiar with it and not very open, especially Jin Peng, which is particularly affected. I was particularly annoyed with her, so I deliberately asked her a difficult question, asking her how many measurements she had. This question does not matter. Professor Liu Jun, who was going to sleep in the tent, couldn't sleep, waiting for the answer desperately, and ended up staying up all night, hahahaha. Later, several of our male players didn't want to sleep, so we chatted around the campfire for a long time, drinking highland barley wine while chatting, which was also regarded as after dusk in Dongli.

The third day was basically the same as the second day, except that due to the rain, one part of the mountain climbed another, and there were relatively few leeches. In fact, there are many people who say little. Wang Lu climbed at least a dozen. Fortunately, many of us were together and went to Zhaqu with great interest. I arrived early with Laoju, Sun Bo, Xiong Yong, Xiaoyan and ostrich, and tasted delicious mutton soup and butter tea in Tibetan families. Later, I learned that the owner here was originally a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and there was a photo with President Hu Jintao hanging on the wall. What an honor. The second half of the road is relatively easy. Xiong Yong and Sun Bo and I walked slowly while enjoying the scenery and taking pictures. Xiong Yong is healthy, young and has a cool hairstyle. I gave him a nickname: chasing the wind boy. Later, I changed myself to chasing the wind, young Xia, hehe. Yan Jun and Yuyao were waiting for us at the camp, and I realized that they had been living on bread for two days and had been looking forward to our return for a long time. Haha, I remembered the rich man who stole all the chickens in the village in the movie A, B, C and D. The dinner was very rich, and then there was a carefully arranged Yajiang Lager concert. Of course, we still won't let go of old talents. Lujun, Xiong Yong, Eddie Cheung and Wei Qiang and I lifted the old talents and threw them into the bonfire until we were exhausted. The party also ushered in its first climax. At first, everyone was a little shy, but Wang Lu and Kangaroo sang a few songs generously. But then, the appearance of white rabbit Li ignited everyone's enthusiasm. Ye Min sang a song without saying anything. Before everyone could react, he sang a second song, and then told everyone that you didn't have a chance to sing, and the next song was covered by us. Haha, everyone's passion has been mobilized. Smiling face Wang Lingjiang sang a team song of the Second Gobi, and then Yuan Bo and Zhan Jun couldn't sit still. They all got up and sang, and then a three-legged situation was formed. Yuan Bo, Zhan Jun, Ling Jiang and their teams, our team in the Gobi of the Yangtze River, and our team of Tibetan friends all came and went, and even the songs of the 1960s began to sing. It's really lively. At that time, the old man took out two books of popular songs, and Chen Cheng began to contribute on three sides. Haha, everyone fought like a bee, and finally he simply stripped off his shirt and sang, basically fighting for his own voice. According to incomplete statistics, the scene 1 * * experienced seven climaxes, which is the limit of men in history, hehe. Tired of singing, everyone began to talk, and everyone talked about their feelings about this trip to Yajiang. We talked a lot, some talked about the essence of life, some talked about the meaning of life, some talked about the feelings in life, some talked about resolutely putting everything down to Yajiang for a promise, and some recorded the feelings and beauty of our integration with nature this night with a camera. Finally, everyone said what they wanted to say most, and then they reluctantly returned to the tent. On the last outdoor night of this trip to Yajiang, they silently felt the peace and slowly fell asleep.

The fourth day is the first day's trip, not very tired, and the scenery along the way is beautiful. Xiong Yong, Lu Jun, Professor Xue and I walked behind. Our friends who came to Yajiang this time are very lovely, and I cherish the time with them. Let's start with professor. The two professors we came here this time are really interesting. Professor Liu Jun is always in the first place, walking like a fly, not like a man who is nearly 50 years old. Professor Xue is always optimistic and happy, and keeps talking with us about relaxed topics, which deserves to be our spiritual pillar. Yuan Bo and Jaco are basically at the forefront. Yuan Bo has a good relationship with our Yangtze River now, and he comes to almost all our activities. Jaco is a tough guy. Besides being an exhibitionist, he likes to make fun of our sister Wang Lu. Haha, but he looks very relaxed. He is our good comrade-in-arms in Gobi. He will be very lively in the end. Lu is a doer, professional outdoors, first-class equipment, and understands the meaning of life. Xiong Yong is a very talented teenager. Guo Fan always pays silently for everyone, and this time he specially bought yak meat and pork liver for all of us in Linzhi, which added a lot of color to our dinner. He's really hard. He weighs more than 200 Jin and never says a word. Yan Jun is a cheerful person who is persistent and firm in life, love and career. Wang Lu and I reached an agreement to lose 20 pounds. I think there is a chance. Now we've lost almost seven or eight pounds. She and our kangaroo are main singers. Kangaroo is known as the captain of Beijing Changjiang Art Troupe, and she sings very brightly. This time, a lot of people were invited, most of them were from the second phase of Gobi, except Li, a big white rabbit, Pengfei, a little black rabbit, and Wang Lingjiang, a smiling face and an ostrich from Jiaotong University in Central Europe. Wang Lingjiang is enthusiastic, but sometimes he is too enthusiastic, hehe. The ostrich of Jiaotong University and Yuyao are both very interesting people. I wonder if there is any spark after Yuyao and Yan Jun stayed for two days? Both Li and Pengfei have participated in the Gobi twice, which is really not simple. The old man went outdoors for the first time, but he insisted all the time. I believe he will love hiking from now on. Mr. Wei was taciturn and protected Wang Lu all the way. Actually, it's old outdoor. Eddie Cheung said nothing more, our good captain. Tong Xin actually hurt his knee, but every time we go hiking, he takes part. Although the speed is not very fast, his persistent spirit and attitude of constantly discovering beauty with cameras on the road explain the essence of our hiking. Jin Peng, I wish I could stop being so pretentious. Sun Bo is a romantic girl who loves life. I hope she can better grasp some people and things in her life. If something is lost, it will never be there again. Liu Jun in Central Europe is in good health and keeps taking pictures all the way. She is an optimist. Li Xiu doesn't talk much, but she is also a person who loves life and cherishes her friends. Zhan Jun is a man who sees through life, and has brought us many thoughts about life along the way. Tingting loves life very much. Her slogan is to travel around the world and make friends with all the talented people and beautiful women she meets. James from Hong Kong came to Yajiang with his sister and brother-in-law. For them, this activity is more like a family trip. Haifeng was injured later, but it was really not easy to stick to the finish line.

After passing the last suspension bridge, our Yajiang hike was completed, and everyone was very excited. Xiong Yong, a teenager chasing the wind, can really compete with me and Lu Jun in the 100-meter race at a very young age. I believe everyone will always remember this trip to Yajiang, during which there are too many memorable things. The beauty of the Yarlung Zangbo River cannot be described in words. It is magnificent, spectacular and mysterious, such as the reappearance of ancient times and the appearance of gods. It is really a pure land leading to the holy land. I write a poem to reward you * * *:

Yajiang Tianlu Tongshengtang,

? Attract the little fairy to practice clothes.

? Green sleeves wrapped a thousand times,

? White skirt dances with Wan Li frost.

I thought it was perfect, but when I got to the observation deck, Nange Baba showed his true colors. Nanga Bawa Peak is the highest mountain in Linzhi area, with an altitude of 7782 meters. Its huge triangular peak body is covered with snow all year round, and it is shrouded in clouds, never showing its true colors easily. Nanga Bawa Peak is full of magical legends. It is said that it is the place where the gods live. On the top of the mountain, there is a shrine and the road to heaven. People living here firmly believe that anyone who sees its true meaning will be sheltered by heaven. Today, we are so lucky to see the true face of Nange Bawa on the birthday of Buddha. Believe in the existence of God and be in awe. These days we are protected by the true God in our close contact with God. We knelt on our knees and kowtowed to Nangarbawa, praying for our family, friends and all those who love you.

It's very late to return to Linzhi. During the dinner, all of us initiated donations from the Yangtze River to Linzhi. This is the purpose of our walking on the Yangtze River. Wherever we go, we must leave something for the local area. After communicating with the local education bureau, we decided to donate an electric classroom to a local primary school under construction, and everyone donated money, which can be regarded as a satisfactory end to our trip to Tibet.

in life

There's always a way.

unforgettable

When the rings of the years have gone for a long time

These things

Will become a legend

Blowing in the wind

And we

Singing the song of memories

Walking in the wind
