Foreword ------ ------
Mysterious Zhongdian, Shangri-La dream; beauty of Lijiang, the hearts of paradise. When the long-awaited journey started, I can not expect that it will give me what kind of memories, but in any case, I know that I started going to realize a dream, and again you can leave the hustle and bustle of the concrete jungle, into the other an unknown world, feeling the excitement is still inexplicable, and perhaps this is the tragedy of city people!
2001/10/19 Guangzhou - Kunming (the first day of the journey)
A very good mood the day, classes in Canada a few days later, finally completed the work at hand today, six in the evening after work, I am carrying baggage from the office down to the second floor security station, and my three companions Zhang differences , Feng, Xiao Zheng convergence.
Four, only Xiaozheng I was the first time I saw, but I soon discovered that we four are all that happy girl, for the forthcoming journey Because of this happiness, I am full of anticipation and vision.
Perhaps it is because we the same excitement, so that we actually almost missed the plane, until the radio non-stop broadcast the names of four of us before we wake up to meet us in on the car, the driver told us that if we are emerged a minute later, this flight would be a mistake.
Thus, we at the last minute to board the plane, flight attendants have also told us a smile waiting for us on the 4. Want to come is also really is a very deeply ashamed, how can that be regarded as some long-standing civil aviation, and actually will be out so embarrassing! But our mood has not been affected, but that is so lucky, perhaps, this marks our journey there will be a very pleasant bar! When the aircraft through the night sky, Guangzhou, and our trip also be regarded as a real start!
The greatest feature of the aircraft is impossible for people to feel the distance from, just that one will work, we reached the first stop of our trip - Kunming. Then our friends from the hands He holds the ticket we go to the next stop, we do not stop the rush to the station, boarded a train bound for Dali.
To be honest, because the working relationship has been very little train, and memory a little bit of residual impression on the train is also very fuzzy. However, for a traveler is concerned, in fact, be realized that the train was traveling more fun, I like to sit by the window watching the horizon go away, you can either free thoughts guests will experience the different kind of life, this feeling is a plane that could not feel.
While we sit on this train is late train, but a clear night air of God I am still awake; though you can not see everything out the window, but the beauty of the night their own night, long ago, a busy nine-to-five life has been diluted We enjoy the night, we only know how to come at night, or every night when Shengge or search for the Duke of Zhou, really has been a while so clear in the night passed, and accompanied by the law of the rails sound, I still can feel the soul calm.
In this quiet, I await the arrival of dawn. Wait, sometimes also a kind of happiness, is not it?
2001/10/20 Dali Ching (second day of journey)
Morning at six o'clock, the train finally slowly into Dali - five golden flowers, the home, I am charmed to place a long time!
In the very young began to see "Five Golden Flowers" movie, from his father's influence, his father was a very liked and loved folk music, even though "Five Golden Flowers" is in fact a love movie However, my father introduced me to continue and recommended the film.
Those sweet-sounding melody of the movie for me is already very familiar with, and even the rivers and mountains with beautiful marble and good hard-working girls Bai has become a kind of longing for my.
When we sat, "Dayun number" on the road in the Erhai Lake, enjoying the wind and the Erhai Lake Erhai sunshine, before real comprehension of the scenery and open-minded to the Erhai Lake, and only in this expansive scenery and will occur under the influence of so many moving story, people are widely read endless!
Somehow, I suddenly said to everyone here if they can be met except the fourth I know three other individuals, then it can be really is a miracle! There will be miracle? I just casually only, I think I still can not predict!
However, I soon have to admit that such a miracle, a small island in the central Erhai, I actually met Xiao Xiao.
When she Hanzhu me, we both could not quite believe his own eyes, living in Guangzhou and I are in Shijiazhuang, she actually would encounter in the Erhai Lake, which is a kind of fate can not be said, more must be said that a miracle!
Since March in Taiyuan, after attending the wedding of Keren, we have no time to contact, I know that she Keren Also in April, after the completion of her marriage is, has been no opportunity to congratulate her, which will finally see the She talked about numerous times in large stone brother.
Xiao Xiao it looked at the appearance of happiness as much inexplicable moved, I think of those love-ridden years, remembered everyone shed tears and laughter, remembered the countless late-night conversations, I think of each other of catching those that passed memorable day, I think of the essay she wrote me a long graduation message, everything is fresh in our memory, has become an indispensable life memories of my college career but also because, as some have a more beautiful green memories !
On the off wind, Shimonoseki flowers, the wind off Shimonoseki flowers; Cangshan snow, Erhai month, according to Lake Erhai Cangshan on snow! In such a beautiful and romantic place to wish all our friends were able to have their own romantic!
In the evening, swim Dali, we have four individuals did not catch up with the car scheduled to go to Lijiang, had booked the last one bound for Lijiang tickets. However, because this way, we can have more time can be slowly feel the charm of Dali, because time is too early, so we are within a well-known洋人街called "Tang" the bar to enjoy a delicious dinner , Xiao Zheng-point share of the beef braise eat too she has been full of praise, in the next few days journey from time to time but also look at aftertaste.
However, so that our praise is that the price of the meal, cheap let us get lucky in exchange for in Guangzhou, so that the price of a meal here, at least three times!
Playing good, eat well, but also bought a lot of Xiao-Dong a small West, quite a small woman's satisfaction!
2001/10/21 Dali - Lijiang Ching (the third day of the journey)
Day before 23 o'clock after more than from Dali to Lijiang in Lijiang, the night, and did not give me leave the slightest impression, I do not know what she looks like in the end. For almost gave us even leave a bad impression. Because few of us lived in the hotel almost wash cold bath (the temperature at that time only some tens of degrees), especially in the Chang different washing time, not even cold water did not, I think, for us, especially Zhang differences to said that the bath is absolutely life-long memorable.
However, I have always believed that anything will have its two sides, and care about each and how to think about how to see. Just like last night in Dali, we do not have to catch up with the scheduled cars to disrupt our plans, but we are also led to great success in the洋人街Lane; again as last night, despite the failure to be properly wash a bath, but the When everybody is afraid of Zhang and find different drugs to find cold medicine, the rub rub Liquor Liquor, as well as to help her blow-dry hair with the hairdryer scene made me very impressed, I think, certainly set the scene in the Chang-specific cells memory depth.
Perhaps, sometimes friends do not need a lot of thanks and words, but all sorts of feelings can always touch each other's heart was with the deepest chord, it is natural to remember the benefits of one kind or another friend!
This has sometimes had to sigh language and writing pale and weak, this world is difficult in many beautiful people and things went so far as to describe with words and language, for example, the friendship between friends.
Which lamented the Yulong Snow Mountain in my time on board another strong emerge.
I really do not know what kind of words to describe my feelings, Yulong Snow Mountain of the pure spotless, noble demure is immersive in Wonderland, to forget all earthly troubles and sadness, but rather surprised, but Xinruzhishui just moved, really had such a worry-free worldly realm.
Although this feeling for a relatively long life, I may be only a very brief moment, even though I am still very soon to go back to the earthly taste of island life and live my happy there are both sad laughter there are tears of both mortal life, but This brief moment of shock I was brought to linger a long time.
With last night, "Cold-water bath Hero", tonight we unanimously decided to replace the resident. Zhongdian tour guide in and have discussed all the details of the day tour, we decided to go to the ancient city of Lijiang lived residential areas closer to the feel of the ancient city of people's lives.
Lijiang Tour, Xuan Ke and his Naxi ancient music is the focus of the weight. While we consider the residence time of the guide suggested that we live in to the "Naxi ancient music will be" guest house, and told us that lived there to listen to ancient music for free, although there is no independent toilet and bathroom, but it was directed at 40 yuan 1 night bed costs, we echocardiography, and in particular, can be heard free of charge to listen to ancient music, we have a few big bright eyes, suddenly free of charge it! (A ticket but also the most expensive 50 yuan it!) Oh, as if picking up a big cheap!
And this feeling in the evening listening to ancient music will be chaired by Mr. Xuan Ke, after even more value for money, really is a wonderful ah! In such a small town, even possession of such a figure, you can not help but sigh created by China's vast land such as Crouching Tiger, such as Xuan Ke's generation who, his humor, his wit, his demeanor, his toughness His self-esteem are all people without exception is Qi Jing.
In fact, originally we intend to come back and then listen to Lost Horizon, from Zhongdian, but in the time of registration of accommodation, attendants lady told us unwittingly, Mr. Xuan Ke tonight is the last night Naxi ancient music will be here tomorrow, he will go to Beijing and the the short term will not come back.
Again, what we got on a critical moment in the final car of a lucky, or really leave a big regret. I think, but thank God this wonderful arrangement, and thus reached our trip a great wish!
The aftermath of this ancient music is what we will do a back four groupies, staffing an autograph, Mr. Xuan Ke self-swivel books, in particular, Xiao Zheng for his worship are simply added, it is different, and Xuan Ke Zhang Mr. came a very "affectionate" in a photo.
I did not go and Mr. Xuan Ke photo photo, each person has a different way of doing things, I like all the good things will stay in heart and slowly leisure aftertaste, even after years of baptism, it will not be easily forgotten.
A day trip to Lijiang by the give us the feeling of my heart was full of enrichment, though, will leave tomorrow we go to Zhongdian, Lijiang, but I look forward to the day of return to be able to truly feel closer to the charming old town charm able to make a return to the real people of Lijiang.
2001/10/22 Zhongdian Ching (the fourth day of the journey)
Zhongdian, Shangri-La I dream, I finally came to embrace you.
Xiao Xiao is because the introduction of our group today, an increase of four new forces from the YANG Feng China Southern's three big boys, small and large fruit Europe joined our Zhongdian trip.
In the Tiger Leaping Gorge, Zhongdian, we wait for our day tour guides - the beautiful Tibetan girl plays a central cases, combined with our driver Luo master, suddenly feel that a good growth of our team.
Last night, after listening to ancient music, and our three new forces have been met chatted, and is still a group of happy people, is still young at heart, these three companion is what we did not expect, and life The fortune was sometimes so abstruse, separated by long distances and I Xiao Xiao reunion in the Erhai Lake, with at the airport, but never met with them three of us are actually met in Lijiang, south of the clouds brought to my surprise and harvest has been too much too much.
Starting from the Tiger Leaping Gorge, Zhongdian, we came to our second stop of the tour - according to La Prairie.
Perhaps, according to La Prairie is not the largest and is not the most beautiful grassland, but, and so many friends rode Pentium says loudly singing out loud laugh out loud no matter how good the feeling is economical. I know I have almost all the horses on the grasslands and sang a song again, to work since then, I seem to have never been so relaxed, that the face of grassland scenes of singing out loud as if there is only me in fantasy, but today I actually really loudly singing out of tune do not worry, do not worry about being a joke, I like the birds came out and really want to find the sky, freedom of flying, for me and the words, this is an unprecedented new experience!
"Baiyun Piao blue sky, white clouds below this horse ran 。。。。。。", is my dream of Shangri-La Oh, when I walk in the grasslands of the arms, quietly watching my playmate who or wear Mongolian dance clothing from the windward bow, or give long-range, and their shadows seem a flow of grassland landscape, and their laughter dotted with clouds drifting across each of a plume of infection with each passing breeze, somehow, heart was actually filled with inexplicable moved. . . . . .
Evening, in a warm and hospitable Tibetan family, I have her first drink of the highland barley wine, learned to jump Guozhuang, really good fun, and Tashi Dolma Tibetan family are not only sing and dance, but also to our potential energy have inspired singing, everyone enjoy singing ah, Tiao A, I think perhaps this is not the happiest in my life time, but certainly is the most happiest most do not enjoy any of the burden of a night.
In the ensuing looting stool with everyone playing the game, Chang is too different to us a few girls fight fair face, and her old actually won the final victory against all odds, I really could not help her embrace and enjoy the belong to our girl's happiness, well, they're hard for those three big guys, and I really have reason to suspect them to take the pilot's time is how to pass the physical fitness test, Ha ha!
With a joyful mood, back to the hotel, we intend to go again especially unfinished singing K, still enjoy the singing and dancing after graduating from university, I really do not seem so excessive indulgence of themselves so that the lives of really happy are people with greed, and good hope that this way of life will never be like the end, though know it is not practical, but this time, here, in this situation, Cijing, luxury to think again no harm done?
2001/10/23 Zhongdian Ching (the fifth day of travel)
Today's Bita trip, I suddenly seemed to quiet a few, so I have clearly explained why each time the face of the vast lakes scene, that they will very quiet, did not want his speech, nor are thinking just like the feel around your eyes closed everything off听风sigh, listening to water flow-spoken, very petty bourgeoisie's a pleasure, but what is it called! People's feelings in this respect with the nature of the situation with ah!
In Gedan Songzanlinsi, I promised the blessings of their parents, regardless of spiritual and powerless, and is always a prayer is also a kind of parenting grace in return.
In another family night, more affluent Tibetans at home, for the first time the seven of us eat a Kaoquan Yang, really delicious (700 yuan one of the Kaoquan Yang, of course, taste is), eat after, I felt eat in Guangzhou, the so-called mutton how boring ah! Ah, but long seen all! Actually been cheated for so long! Angry!
Back to the hotel, and the central cases of parting is at hand, and two days, she brought us a lot of surprises and joy, her warm, gentle, generous and passionate is also deeply infected with us, and we seem to see her Some red eye socket, and is equally happy day for the past two days nostalgia or really could not bear her cute little Europe does? ! I think this is indeed a mystery, but left some unresolved emotional problems in Mikuai makes us the same in this journey for her straightforward lovely Tibetan woman left a deeper impression!
Back to the rooms, and Xiaofeng chatted for a long time of days, while recognizing that for a long time, but like this open their hearts to chat with each other the first time that such a trip can really pull the distance between people in close proximity close, but I realized that we have so many similarities and common topics, Duirenduishi are surprisingly similar point of view, I would like the Arabian Nights will be, as if back in college, it will open every night would have been lying about the number of youth left their minds ah!
2001/10/24 Zhongdian Ching (the sixth day of travel)
Zhongdian is also near the end of the journey, and Lijiang, Dali's gentle compared to, Zhongdian gave me the feel more of the bold, and she has not brought me, as all of that time in Lijiang shock, but her beauty was more need time to appreciate her beauty because she did not specifically highlight some of the attractions, but all seamless, so you are sitting in a whole, such a feeling of the same in style!
After the first Gulf from the Yangtze River, we returned to Lijiang, living in the previous impression had been left Snow hotel can finally take a break hurry the pace slowly feel the real life of Lijiang, and this, I is really very excited.
Sitting in a small river around the city, watching endless babble of the stream toward the priority order but the firm of their own distance, cup of tea rising faint mist, when the hair breeze cheek, you may feel Feng ER's ------ smile?
A cup of weak tea, a few friends; a mood, a few feelings? ! I clearly feel the kind of dynamic and static combination of beauty!
If we just stop-go scattered in every corner of the ancient city of Lijiang, sometimes to talk with sometimes walked as quietly, there is no target without direction, but he is not worried about getting lost. Along the way has never seemed so does not matter, I had completely forgotten that I live thousands of miles outside the city, forget all the unpleasant, have forgotten what a bitter and tired, as if here, I finally found a true soul calm, I am fully enjoying this calm, this is also fully appreciate the quiet.
When I was really quiet when the mind emerges out of a period can always Zhangshan Liang and friendly smiles, the way to play over, really met a lot of enthusiastic people, all contact with the drivers, tour guides, or ordinary passers-by, have brought us a lot of help and good memories, in fact, sometimes the relationship between people, can be extremely simple, is not it? Perhaps in large cities have seen too much too much infighting and intrigue, when the face of such one of the most pristine of the most honest human relationships, he himself has unknowingly been gradually purified.
Evening, we gather together to eat the last supper, tomorrow small and large fruit Europe will have to go alone Banna "Touhuan," but Yang Feng had disappeared, did not know where to run, and everyone is joking speculation did not know he was also Which Naxi sister to the fascinated, so even the Last Supper, we are also only six.
Tomorrow our seven small groups will be disbanded, I think this way can be considered a kind of peer fate, we had a "missed across the unknown", and but me, and Xiao Xiao reunion which turned into "a thousand miles destined to phase Council ", life's fortune and sometimes that is so utterly unexpected.
This section of the road, because their presence and bring us a lot of fun and laughter, there is no way not feel lonely, hard, and I think whenever I want to find a little peace of mind when the clouds to the south of the travels and this three new friends, the happiness brought to us will be the I am pleased to recall.
Therefore, the traditional place in Lijiang light activity, I am very pious wish to put down the lights, I wish all the fellow friends in this way were able to permanently happy, I hope you can remember this piece of flying friendship.
A small child watching the waves go away lights, a song quietly rise in my heart:
You once said to me
相逢是首歌
The eyes are the sea in spring
Mind is the river in autumn
相逢是首歌
Peers is that you and me
Sum children are young sun
Youth lively
. . . . . .
This is the one I was very fond of, but now some forgotten song, melody is very soothing and beautiful, the reason why all of a sudden again reverberating in the ears, because the road your peers, I think this song is sung lovely my playmate who you ------ I hope your life in the future be able to have one of their own songs.
2001/10/25 Korea Jiangyin light rain (the first 8 days trip)
Xu is because the tipsy feeling last night, I got up early this morning, a man carrying a backpack walking in the early morning streets of the ancient city of stone, some shade of days, but the air excellent, does not remember how long it is not so that early morning walk, and in Guangzhou, when, always at night do not want to go to bed early is not willing to get up, finally Qile Chuang is also carrying a hurry breakfast go to work, very little leisure time to feel good all morning.
But today I finally no longer a member of that rushed, and I Rong Jin, a slow-paced atmosphere, you can slowly enjoy the scenery along the way, you can slowly feel the fresh morning breeze, a beautiful Morning herald a good start, it seems today still is a good day.
Eaten for breakfast, a small European and large fruit and we waved, we Xiaoxiao Sasa's gone, and before leaving, large fruit is not ambiguous in his mouth I taught him humming a song, "red beans," Oh, all the way Without his "red bean", I think I will some of the lost! In any case, hope they could have a more enjoyable journey!
Under the leadership of the Yang Feng and I and Zhang Xiaofeng differences are almost day soaking in the "Dongba workshop", the original of that yesterday, captured the hearts of the Yang Feng is not a Naxi sister is not a stunning beauty, but " Dongba workshops, "the owner ------- bearded old wood, there are girlfriend of his happy little peacocks ------ Zhang.
This result collision all of us are popping, but when their 2 Yang Feng introduced to us, I immediately found that: several of us, especially Xiaofeng also flew on into this "wood" a net of , well, they're sad ah, yesterday, still laughing Yang Feng, but today. . . . . .
Of course, attract us, not just the bell-lang stretch of wood crafts, as well as quasi-boss Zhang was warm, simple and honest simplicity of the Naxi drowned in the old wood, even they are that legendary love story.
I really do admire the courage and choices Zhang, a city girl, in order to love people, you can come to such a city far from home, pick up the burin, starting her new life. I've seen her hands, covered with deep shallow knife marks, I would like to know the old wood, she must, like us, have a pair of delicate white skin of the hands, it was said: The second hand is the girls face, Although this second face of Zhang has been some beyond recognition, but you see it? How happy she is ah! Of her eyes to her tip of brow her every cell in a glory filled with happiness, her happiness is also deeply infected everyone around her.
Although only just met, but we do not have the slightest strangeness, perhaps because Yang Feng has been made prior to the introduction to my admiration at the very heart of this lovely girl's sake, there would be no need for warming the cordial.
Just the time most of the day, she and the old wood of the "Dongba workshop" has been considered the site's own freedom of movement, in this happy little world, we also know two very personal friends: also from Guangdong The Xiaoqing and Xiao Guo, so this small workshop by our gang of outsiders quickly, "occupation", we return to this it is a small workshop was packed full of laughter and joy.
Xiaofeng quickly fell in love with wood, but really there are so little talent, she carved things are very beautiful, old wood to her evaluation of very high, as well as Zhang shouted threats at the next status is not soon Paul , and Xiaofeng children were happy fart fart Britain Great Britain children, more to vigor, and a great show, as an ambition, but fortunately, we have to leave tomorrow, otherwise. . . . . . Hee hee, the consequences seem to really do something dreadful to contemplate! 哈哈. . . . . .
Yang Feng has also taken in the evening, we are back to the original foursome, less of their journey seems to have been something was lacking, but we also have our own happiness, after all, for us, this kind of life is less and little treasure every second counts really ah!
2001/10/26 Kunming, Lijiang ---- yin (the eighth day of journey)
Run out of breakfast, we went straight to "Dongba workshop."
Today is our last day in Lijiang in the evening we had to return to Kunming. Suddenly, I feel the time is so not enough, as if there is a lot of things are not done, so many days, I just blindly in the enjoyment of holidays and have a friend who's happy, that is about to leave Lijiang's hearts really is full of dismay by emotions.
One day, we are still on a "Dongba Workshop", where it continues to concentrate on Xiaofeng wood for her final polishing and processing, Xiao Zheng also teach you to go out, and I and Zhang differences are like two butterflies Like flying in the ancient city's busy streets to adopt, "Honey," busy for a whole day ah! Can not help but think of the Naxi people a proverb: When a break like ants, when working like a butterfly. Why, any rate have done the back to butterfly Well, although not to work, Hei hei!
At noon, Zhang made a meal for us a very sumptuous lunch, the old God, this is definitely a get out of the kitchen into the hall was a good girl, the old wood really do not know what is the past life repair a blessing, this life in order to face such partner, Xiao Guo is simply the envy of the side was half dead.
No matter how sad farewells, and regardless of how the nostalgia of the past will always come to the walk is also bound to go, when the parting broke before our very eyes, waving goodbye to those dear friends that gave me good-bye Unlimited happy little town, finally realized that for them, we are, after all, rushed hastily in passing, and only such a person like Zhang, it can really stay can become a real Lijiang people.
Lijiang has made the short trip I fell in love with from the heart of this tranquil paradise, fell in love with the river here, fell in love with the people here, I will always treasure the good memories that one day I will take of these memories back to regain a joyful time in Lijiang.
"Sometimes, sometimes, I would believe everything that is at the end; meet to leave, have the time, nothing is immortal; but I sometimes prefer nostalgia does not let go, until the landscape is seen through, perhaps you will accompany me to see a steady and 。。。。。。"
Who is singing this song in? This really would rather walk in the ancient city of stone on the road, watching the sun sets, watching Juanniao homing to see wind clouds move, could not see ------ small streams.
This mood, this feeling, even a brief moment, as long as know how to cherish, who is to say that is not an everlasting and unchanging? !
Good-bye, beautiful Lijiang! Good-bye, dear friends!
We are again riding ---- the most modern means of transport aircraft, from the town the millennium of the city back to the feasting ---- Kunming.
We will be playing on two days in Kunming, and perhaps, and early arrival YANG Feng-convergence, but the city is, after all, we are familiar with the living environment, from this point, Kunming and Guangzhou is no different.
So I think that our journey has been a matter of fact here is the real end of my travels here can also came to an end.
This doodles I will be present to each one of the bad in this way with my fellow playmate who, I think it would be our common memories, thank you accompanied by this way, so I brightened up the journey fun, wish you in the future every day happy happy!
