Read back in Hoh Xil

Back in Hoh Xil

(1) Last year, we followed the Qinghai-Tibet Highway from Golmud to Nagqu. When we arrived near the Chumar River, we had to go to the protection station because the road ahead collapsed. Rest and met Si Xian here. Si Xian is 17 years old and the youngest volunteer at the protection station.

(2) When he saw the camera hanging on my chest, he came over to take pictures with me. I seemed to feel particularly close to him. He told me about life here: every day they hold banners on the dark Qinghai-Tibet Highway to "clear the way" for the Tibetan antelopes who try to cross the Qinghai-Tibet Highway to migrate westward. Because of these Tibetan antelopes rush to Zhuonai Lake and Taiyang Lake, which are rich in water and grass, to give birth in early summer every year. They would wait quietly in places where Tibetan antelopes often appeared. If a Tibetan antelope came to the road, he and his friends would stand far away and pull up a banner on the road to warn the passing vehicles. The banner read "Tibetan Antelope". "Cross the highway, please turn off the car." Then people stopped the car, turned off the engine, and waited quietly for the Tibetan antelope, which is regarded as a sacred object by the Tibetan people, hesitantly and slowly walked across the highway to breed in the hinterland of Hoh Xil. (3) Si Xian said: "Although what we do is very simple, everyone is always moved by each other inexplicably."

(4) I asked him: "You are so young, why are you here? Are you a volunteer? Aren't your parents worried?"

(5) After hearing this, he lowered his head and said with a calm smile: "I actually ran away from home."

(6) He told me that he was a high school student but had no interest in studying. His hobby was photography. He is addicted to photography every day and his academic performance is very poor. His parents were extremely dissatisfied with his "not doing his job properly" and often criticized him. Just two months ago, his favorite old camera was smashed by his angry father. He ran away from home in anger and came here with a group of volunteers he met online - a destination he had dreamed of for a long time. He said that he didn’t know what to do to resist his father’s “oppression” of his dream, but he felt a deep sense of mission in the process of paving the way for Tibetan antelopes.

(7) After he finished telling his story, I couldn’t persuade him, so I had to drag him to take pictures. The next day, when the highway was opened, we left the protection station and drove to Naqu.

(8) He sent us to the road, then hugged me cordially and said goodbye. I don’t know why this is, maybe it’s because of his young but persistent dream. On the way, I kept thinking that this child should go home, and his parents should accept him, recognize and encourage him. Only in this way can he live happily and move toward his dreams.

(9) Half a month later, we returned to Golmud from Nagqu and passed by the protection station. Before the car arrived, I saw someone waving at the protection station from a distance. It was none other than Si Xian.

(10) Si Xian looked a little sad, his eyes were red and swollen as if he had cried. He asked us to take him to Golmud. We took him and hit the road.

(11) I asked him what happened.

(12) He told me that something bad happened. It turned out that three days ago, when they were clearing the way for Tibetan antelopes on the road, a reckless driver ignored their obstruction and passed through the barrier in order to rush on the road. He directly hit a poor little lamb and the sheep was cut into pieces. The two parts dispersed. They were very sad and angry about this. Then, they took the young lamb and buried it in the grave specially dug for it at the protection station. After burying the lamb, they were in a state of distress when they saw a ewe wandering by the roadside wailing all afternoon. They knew it was the mother of the lamb, so they dug the lamb out with tears and placed it in front of the ewe. The ewe's sad look broke everyone's heart. It wasn't until the ewe left in despair that they buried the lamb again.

(13) There were tears in Si Xian’s eyes, and there was a mixture of sadness and anger on his young face. We were filled with indignation after hearing this, but no one said much.

(14) I tried to change the topic to dispel the sad atmosphere, so I put my arm around Si Xian’s shoulders and asked, “Where are you going to go next?”

(15) Si Xian suddenly burst into tears. He held my hand and cried: "Brother, I want to go home! My mother must be looking for me to go crazy!"

(16) I hugged him , covering her cries in his arms. My tears suddenly welled up. This young man who was lost on the edge of the world, after witnessing real sadness, deeply understood a kind of love, and finally turned back in the beautiful Hoh Xil.
