Between Snow Mountain and Qiao Yang Snow Mountain.

-after reading it.

An "extraordinary" woman who loves snow-capped mountains and nature tells her story with snow-capped mountains, meadows, forests, herders and cattle.

"Snow mountains and glaciers, forests and grasslands tell endless stories. They allowed one person to join the story. She became herself in the snow-capped mountains and told the world. "

Influenced by her family, she loved flowers, trees and nature since childhood. When she was young, she was frustrated and lost her ideal. She left her hometown, came to Yunnan, came to the land of mountains and valleys, and came to the snow-capped mountains to find her own heart. She lived here for ten years, lost in the mountains and rivers with her beloved, overlooking the top of the snow-capped mountains and Ma Pingchuan, and found her true self in nature. "I describe myself by describing the world. I use the' image' of nature to guide myself, how to live and how to die." .

I travel to the mountains with like-minded friends whenever I get a chance. One summer, I was accompanied by Dr. William, a North American nature photographer, and Mr. Pan, a scholar who studied plants. On the way, they rest in the cowshed on the hillside and spend the night in the village or wooden shed. Herdsmen provide them with Baba beef jerky, butter tea and other foods. The herdsmen here have regarded these foreigners as friends. They communicate in Mandarin mixed with Yunnan dialect, and the enthusiasm of Tibetans makes them feel the sincere feelings from this land. Walking with two old people is an unprecedented unforgettable journey for her. The two old people add up to almost 140 years old. Their love for nature is an emotion for which they are willing to give their lives. Wish each other goodbye and see you next time, but there is probably no next chance.

Every spring and summer, she always goes to live in the mountains for ten days and a half months, sometimes alone and sometimes accompanied by her family. Every time, villagers drive to pick her up, and friends (Tibetans they know) prepare living materials for her. Life in the mountains is so comfortable that there is almost no concept of time. Here, there is no "rule" and no "order". Everything is dominated by nature, and we do whatever we want. "Why can't I live a little looser? The way I deal with time constitutes my own world order. I just need to know the natural time and needs of my body, just like a seed on a flowing stone beach. I think the time to activate the power of life is just right. Once I grow up, I will accept sunshine, wind and rain, frost, swaying brilliance or crouching in the dark, or waiting lazily. " . Mu Xin said, "It used to be slow ..." It used to be slow because the time sequence in the past was different from today. "I asked A Niu teacher, when were you born? He said he didn't know what date it was, and my mother said it was when the peach blossoms were in bloom. I asked Jia (grandma) again. When was Teacher A Niu born? Jia received this question, smiled and lowered his eyes, and returned to the time when the peach blossoms bloomed in a certain year. Outside the window of A Niu's old house, peach blossoms bloom in late May and early June every year. Jia doesn't know the concept of Gregorian calendar. This important time for her was set in her vague and accurate memory of' Peach Blossom'. " It's not that they don't have a sense of time, but in their time sequence, there are only four seasons changing, flowers blooming and falling, the first rain and snow, and the time when highland barley is sown and harvested ... Every culture and civilization builds its own time order through summarization and accumulation from generation to generation, which is its own time order.

"The pulse of the mountain, the pulse of the water, the pulse of the pulse, the human body, the ancient China people can say the pulse of the body, and today people speak the pulse. All of this has the same connotation, water vapor, heat and substantial material flow, which is a symbol of life. "
