2002-10-14 Tulip Messenger Yu Beng Kee village in the Lennart Meri
In many people's minds, the Tibetan people had been preserved with the simple style of piety, religion and living habits make them treat people warm and hospitable. Many Tibetans only bring a simple supplies each year on a pilgrimage on foot to the distant mountains on turning, 10 days to several months. How do along the way need not beg, as long as Tibetans encountered home, will send warm buttered tea with dried beef and mutton, as well as tsampa, try to provide all possible help. Others, such as passing visitors like us, they also invite us into the room and brought food and butter tea, do not pay can be paid. Last year I travel Qinglong village hidden in the car stuck 3 days, two Tibetan boys have been waiting in front of residence at any time in our observations we have any need, Tim was about to get up the fire, they immediately added cow dung and force them to Liso. When we finish eating, they always began to eat, wash stand and so we stayed to sleep and to cover the quilt finished before lights turn off to prepare himself to sleep, let's very moving.
Tibetans were mostly a waste of time (of course this is the city mentality and views, in the face of nature that they do not need too much time in this sense), as their place of residence in cities and towns of the gradual, contact with the outside world does not quickly to change many of their ideas, they do not like the business (except Khampa people), not willing to do hard work, and we encountered many hard-working road construction workers in Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan farmers. Great scenery there is no good use to do tourism (of course, the need for government planning and support improve the traffic), do not have much idea of wealth, the Dalai Lama's influence is still great. How to Tibetan well-being of stability? As previously said, the economic card is the biggest killer. Open only opportunity is to allow the Tibetans to see the real hope of getting rich, and develop their own economic minds so that they can get rich quickly, we can really stable, reduce the State's financial burden.
This morning departure package of a car to fly to Temple and West as a village. Here visitors generally fly only to Mingyong and Temple, but we want to collapse the village from the west of the rain when out of the village would also like to ride or walk for 5 hours of mountain and forest before that, known as the travelers dream of condensed Shangri-la beauty. Road is difficult to walk, we have been in the quiet villages, rugged mountain, the Grand Canyon in the walk through. In fact, the entire Deqin County are in the cross-sectional central mountains, the terrain insurance, the best scenery. Meili Snow Mountain is the first Tibetan Eight Kamiyama, there are more than 6700 Kawagebo peak elevation.
Vehicles to enter the capacity in the village in the West as a village, it is now the last car to go to places. Because the legs and feet in the foot a bit when the strain is no longer climb mountains, and changed horses, mules entered the forest mountains. Forest protection was very good, 4 hours after the walk down the mountain, the Meili Snow Mountain, a few peaks gradually appeared in front of the red yellow, and green leaves of the screen like a canvas backdrop Linde. After a half an hour, one of the most harmonious and most concentrated of the Shangri-La pictures fall into the eye. Meri-feng and is known as Kawagebo uncle Kawalanna outgrew the top and the last big party background, in front of the Castle Peak 2 is full of red, green and yellow leaves on the trees, forming a small valley between two mountains between the flowing gurgling mountain stream, a small village was divided into two now which are all arranged around a letter can be seen everywhere terraces and leisurely grazing cattle.
To enter the village, in several more le, the sound of the greeting, the village chief warmly shook hands with us and made arrangements for us to one of the families live. Village, a total of 25 (27) families, there is no entertainment venues, from each household in turn receive foreign tourists home, including the provision of all horses, for the sake of fairness unified arrangement of supervision by the mayor. This time, received us was a little girl's home, a large but poor family, her parents cook for us, and we are on one side and the little girl burning corn to eat, sleep a lot at night we had just been harvested the barley next beds can also be specially prepared for tourists.
In our small question, the little girl, and apart from his parents outside the town near where Deqin been no. I do not know how they view the outside world, and their world is so small that simple (in my opinion is the most beautiful of the world). Here we should link up next year, road, Shangri-La Village will be more open to everyone, I believe that will happen within two years of great change. I remember the Qinghai-Tibet Railway will not be started, some people said it was a sacrifice Tibet's ecological environment, and culture at a price. In fact, everything will be pros and cons, we can not because you enjoy the convenience of modern city life, cherish the memory of the village behind the simple life is deprived of the right of people to develop backward areas, while development is the greatest truth. Some people may degenerate, there will be destruction of the environment, we need to do now is to pay attention to along with it, and to reduce the losses to a minimum, those who put forward different views of the intentions of people are also concerned about the local cultural environment, wise and kind-hearted people, I would like to hats off to them, because you let everyone, so that the State Government is concerned about the development of the city should pay attention to environmental protection and cultural heritage protection. Of course, some remarks have other purposes, on-line has a lot of people to brutal development of the western United States as an example retorted them, talk about them.
