2002-10-19 tulip messenger too off recorded in the arch of Lijiang ancient city of Lijiang in the evening Inn, it was drinking Fang Ge, it was easy to chat. After drying off the sun, I was alone in the Inn on the second floor balcony to write about something. Quickly as planned, I should end the journey back to Guangzhou, the treatment began to recover and restore the city people's lives. In this road trip constantly encountered unexpected encounter Yoshitomo friend, encounter surprises, like the ups and downs of life. In any case, traveling thousands of miles away than road, walking in between heaven and earth in order to have a broader vision of life, to see more of life status in order to give ourselves a bit more inspiration, just as the old monk replied, I want to go there go to the same.
Along the way I always get friends to take care of, from the beginning to help each other 12 people on foot, small Yu Xiaoxia, Zhongdian and Chiang Kai-bending beans guys, Lao Dong, and Merrill's doctors and nurses Tibetans, Lijiang dentists, Inn owner Song sisters and big Lee, there are two T-shirt, and his wife have given me varying degrees of concern and help. Lao Dong the most difficult of which I give my support to dentists in my days of Lijiang almost became my personal medical diet consultant. Small Yu Xiaoxia always take care of me, the small of my back to Guangzhou, I will take care of my recovery was arranged after the treatment. Am very grateful to them, is that they let me the trip was full of wonderful. Just as we said, we will definitely meet again to share their sorrow, with the music. (Phone continually heard a friend's greetings)
In Zhongdian and Dali bent bean drink beer eat barbecue smoke-free when the beans in order to bend the tone of professional traveler gave me an advice: As a (foot) Travelers need to continue to enhance the ability to learn, can not be rash. Not the same as each opportunity may be a good time with the teacher to learn a lot of things can be the most important thing is self-learning and absorptive capacity. In light of their experience and seeing and hearing a lot of examples, I started to feel the need to write an article on the status of Chinese travelers. Back to Zhongdian, when the second bending beans encouragement strengthened my confidence in the Lijiang and dentists talk again makes me a better understanding of China's source of ideas for most travelers.
Walking tours (including adventure travel) was introduced to China from abroad. In foreign countries has developed into a kind of appreciate life and movement to challenge themselves to achieve a certain level of maturity. The introduction of the concept of people quickly, equipment, instruments can be purchased from abroad, some basic knowledge in the mutual exchange of learning by doing. Crux of the matter is, for most people who do not have the necessary quality of the travelers blindly setting goals, the pursuit of targets is greater than the process. Hiking the entire domestic campaign period is still in a rash.
Now some of the popular online travel plans, tour Tibet adhere Ali, Hoh Xil, Medog. Dental recall 97 years back to Tibet, have a friend who asked not an interest is no Ali Medog. In fact, especially the Hoh Xil Medog such a place, really into the travelers have? Poor living environment requires highly experienced travel knowledge and viability cope with them.
Most people think that travelers in the self-torture, not treasure their own lives. In fact just the contrary, qualified travelers are very cherish the quality of life, very cautious, because they know that in nature, before the individual is always tiny fragile. When someone dies in a number of factors can be addressed, even if you put all the factors are taken into account and prepared to handle it, several factors have combined to kill you can still be addressed. They need to really understand their own abilities and the status quo, to develop a reasonable goal line, and to adjust according to the actual situation at any time, if necessary, know how to give up; know how to learn from the experience of local people with the help and strength, as they experienced the struggle against nature; never foolhardy bent; equipment is necessary, knowledge is more important, camp site selection, to identify water disinfection, time controls, small water ditch digging, cold tidal steam isolation, signs of the settings. For example with the old hunters into the mountains to see traces of water while there is fighting, the old hunter can tell you the full story of just happened, what the animals fight? How many? Who is hurt? What animals may also pose a threat in the vicinity? How it should be done? These are all valuable knowledge and need to learn accumulation; In addition to geographical knowledge but also to learn first aid skills to help themselves.
For most people, due to historical reasons, are in an impulsive, impetuous, under the state. Be bound by the older generation of conservative thinking, the younger generation thought the face of open rebellion mutations in the psychological environment, strong, from the outset, unwilling to be bound by the older generation while preserving the idea of the impulse. Laiwu and are well received in the peace era where large individual heroism far-reaching impact, it may easily go the other extreme. Many foreign concepts into the domestic trend can form very quickly, like the early DISCO, bars, karaoke OK hot, and now of hiking, rock climbing and so on, people accept Dadalielie, can understand the true meaning of their cultural heritage and the rare, this also a lot of people feel things that cause deterioration.
Impulse into a rash does not only occur in the general body, and in many lovers and even professionals, who often see. I can cite many examples. First, I am very much respect for them, many of whom are excellent, but they are also human beings, after all, will commit errors, the cruelty of nature, the use of these negligence hurt them, even their lives.
2 years ago, a former colleague of the bad news let me heartache. She told Kuang Yong-jun is a young girl, people admire tenacity and perseverance. Green club organized in 2000 to participate in climbing Everest Qinghai jade activities, that accident which killed three people, two in Shenzhen and her boys. In fact it was near the peak when the leader and chief organizer of their experience have found signs of weather changes, immediately notify the team retreat. However, a Shenzhen, said the boy did not reach the summit today, there is no chance. 3 people are still hard-mounted peak. Dimension after the storm, when more than one hours. Leader in the search have not been the case made a reckless big mistake: to the mountain camp dismissed. After a large search and rescue to find them one after another the bodies of three people, including a boy's body in Shenzhen is only 100 meters away from the camp removed place. Imagine a person do when the air force will see a trace of life and rekindle the survival power of the distance 100 meters down the mountain will not be much problem, back to the tent after the additional heat and physical is entirely possible to spend a cold night again the next day down the mountain. As long as the slightest chance of survival could save him, but ... ... not completely wrong in a person made a serious lack of awareness may be the quality of a great wrong.
Once in a newspaper to see such a report: a domestic and foreign climbers climbers at the same time grab the top, near the peak, when the Chinese team is also found in a previous national climbing the bodies. Perhaps the thought of have already paid too much time and money to physical effort, or the estimates do not have sufficient strength to transport the body down the mountain, they decided to abandon the body to continue to grab the top; foreign body was found later to have, they talk a bit, decided to abandon the ascent, full body transported down the mountain. This reflects the different qualities and awareness: foreigners come to China Mountaineering time and money to pay more attention could be still embodies the humanitarian spirit and respect for peers; they can die at the same time there are peers who learn from the surrounding environment experience, which is why he would place near the peak death? What is risk? Can then be re-climb time to plan for it.
Has also recently been hearing the sad news: Beijing University more than a dozen people climbers Mui, nearly annihilated. Has always been fine and then inquire about local people, they shook their heads, "Why do they where in August Mui? It is the rainy season in Mui Lee ah, often an avalanche!" I can understand the psychology students to use as a holiday campaign, what can be important than life? Much to listen to local people proposed a big mistake, I have always felt pity for them. The above examples are numerous, so much hope that the lessons learned so that everyone can realize that there is always an awareness of a movement learning process, and if the trend of indiscriminate investments and individual heroism has become a lot of good people who will push the risk of situation.
I might never become what the traveler, depending on the opportunity. The trip in many small spots are also doing a good job, so that their foot in the plateau began suffering from a cold and laryngitis, and later even became a bronchitis, has been suppressed with drugs until past; later because the decline is too big a result of bone strain relaxation. But I will continue to learn lessons for themselves and set a reasonable goal, continue to enjoy the walk between heaven and earth happy, and interested friends along.
