Car back to the foot, we put them in a akishimo dyed to navigate among the bushes, and even a small stream of the marsh is also variegated scene, gorgeous color saturation in this exceptionally cloudy inside. 2 head white body black cartoon-like yak Banwo looked at me in the bush, far from the barley harvest of the pastoral and the smoke curl Tibetan settlements, the murder of many of our non-forest.
Cave at one after another that some visitors to lodging, depot arranged get-togethers, along with military and civilian performances, dancing and singing and poetry recitation day, eating two chickens a pig, festivals like fun. Quite difficult conditions of military depot at any time for military vehicles along the Sichuan-Tibet supply, turns to the altitude of 4,5 km of the radar station on duty, especially in winter, food supplies are not on the dry climate and the boys got a bad hair off. They come from the Central Plains and coastal area, burning the bath water for my two little hometown in Guangdong was 21 years old, even smaller than my brother. Only live a day, they were convinced that they are cute, then I do not know how many times first heard of the "To tell the truth" at the moment from their mouths to sing, instead letting my eyes filled with tears hold in mouth.

Haizi Shan climbed the big duo, when Piaoqi snow, the night where I saw both sides of the strange Shi Zhengrong, is very terrible. Being hit by snowstorms, the car breaks down, Zhao Maozhuofengxue repair of more than 1 hours, everyone was cold and hungry, eating dry food on the ice water. Zhao Yong frozen into the side of vehicle while Snowman easy to say that the Sichuan-Tibet line, bad road conditions, such things are commonplace, and once he pulled the wood from the Nyingchi to Batang snow frozen for two days trapped in the car overnight. It also is not what most afraid of independent bicycle road blockers, risking their lives to run in January about two months of no income, and at any time were injured. Sichuan-Tibet line looking at the vast stretch endlessly into the distance, depend on the survival of this line is not easy and many people want to how much perseverance, I see this thin young man could not help but pay tribute to Heart.

For a long time, the rain was living, meadow a brighter, such as wings like eagles Yangmai Yong-feng Wang a clear reflection of the water in one. By dawn loudly sang the Tibetan song: "the east lawn呀Jin guy, girl, Rinzin Wangmo Jin guy is my heart who Jin guy ... ..." the joyful singing and cross under I horses have a good mood, go light.
