Mysterious address of Zhangjiajie photography

Friends who have traveled to Zhangjiajie may have seen the performance of the National Art Troupe here. These small art groups spontaneously organized by talented folk people are often very energetic.

The programs they performed generally came from the people, and most of them absorbed local traditional themes and performance forms, and some of them were even on the verge of extinction.

Therefore, these programs are of indispensable significance from the perspective of being local cultural business cards and inheriting high-quality folk culture.

But if it is called folk art, it must suit both refined and popular tastes. Most of the main actors in these art groups are not from regular classes and have different experiences.

In Mei Niang Village Art Troupe in Wulingyuan District, an actor performed a stunt of eating live snakes and chickens.

Some people think that "eating live snakes and chickens raw" is a stunt carefully prepared by the performance group. The scene is too bloody and easily causes discomfort to the audience.

No matter what people think, this actor named Zhang Siyi has become a signboard of the Art Troupe, and many tourists are waiting to see his performance.

After all, there will be no song and dance performances in any era, but such rough and even primitive "primitive" performances are rare.

As the saying goes: the world is full of wonders, and everyone has curiosity.

Zhang Siyi is1.7m tall, quite handsome, with sound limbs and strong physique.

Seeing this, my friends can't help asking: Why does a normal person choose such an "alternative" performance? What kind of story does he have?

There is no rootless tree in the world. It all started with Zhang Siyi's thrilling childhood experience.

At the age of five, Zhang Siyi was unfortunately lost with his family and has lived in the mountains ever since. Since then, he has lived alone in the wild for eight years. No one knows how Zhang Siyi, who is young and ignorant, lived alone for eight years in the mountains and forests of western Hunan.

He created a miracle of life!

In the following years, there were bizarre incidents that chickens, ducks and geese were killed and blood was drawn from time to time in Shanxia Village.

At first, everyone thought that weasels, wild cats and other animals were at work. Later, after the villagers took turns guarding and observing and tracking for many times, they gradually found out the truth-these "bloody cases" were all done by a cunning "vampire savage"!

This "vampire savage" lurks during the day, goes out at night, and always goes down the mountain to commit crimes in the dead of night. The villagers never caught him.

It was not until a few years later that a photographer came to the local area to collect the wind and heard the legend of "blood sucking", which aroused his strong curiosity.

He and the villagers thought of a way, finally caught the "savage" and solved the puzzle. This boy, regarded as a "vampire savage", is Zhang Siyi, the lost child of Zhang Yuchun and his wife in Baijia Village eight years ago.

For Zhang Yuchun and his wife, who already have several daughters, having a son has always been a top priority.

1972, Zhang Yuchun 4 1 year. This winter, my wife successfully gave birth to a son. Specially named him "Zhang Siyi", Lao Zhang, ecstatic, set up a table in the village to entertain relatives and friends. A few days were very lively and happy.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Siyi, who was regarded as the apple of her eye by the whole family, was five years old.

Zhang Siyi, who looks dignified and strong and has a lively nature, can't stay at home for a quarter of an hour. As long as adults don't look after him, he will "run wild" everywhere in an instant.

This afternoon, Zhang Yuchun and his wife went up the mountain to hoe the ground. Because they were not alone at home, they simply went out with their six children.

On weekdays, Zhang Siyi's brothers and sisters also played in Shan Ye, and there were no major accidents. Who knew something was wrong this time?

Zhang Siyi is only five years old. He doesn't know the danger in the wild. He somehow got separated from his sisters in the process of playing.

It was already dark when Zhang Yuchun and his wife found that Zhang Siyi, the "old five", had disappeared. Now everyone is panicking.

Although the couple went back to the village for help and mobilized the villagers to help find it overnight, they never found the trace of their son.

Zhangjiajie is located in Xiangxi, where mountains are high and forests are dense, and there are often wild animals. In the 1980 s, there were incidents in which wild animals went down the mountain to hurt people.

Zhang Siyi, a 5-year-old child, has short legs and weak hands, and has no self-defense ability at all. Everyone in the village knows that children are afraid of getting into trouble.

With the passage of time, the villagers who participated in the search became heavier and heavier.

Although everyone is comforting Zhang Yuchun and his wife, their inner guess is close: the child is likely to be eaten by some kind of wild animal.

According to common sense, with a child's physical strength, it is not far to run, and it is not far to run. Everyone searched everywhere in Fiona Fang for miles, but never found the children's clothes, shoes or obvious blood.

The last insistence is just "do your best and leave it to fate".

Zhang Yuchun and his wife are old, and once something happens, they are heartbroken. Zhang Siyi disappeared for eight years.

The saddest day for Zhang Yuchun every year is the birthday of her son Zhang Siyi. Time will cover up the wound and cover it with a scar.

For eight years, my son was born without anyone and died without a body. After a long time, Zhang Yuchun has already acquiesced that his son has passed away.

At this time, 13-year-old Zhang Siyi reappeared in an unexpected capacity!

As for Zhang Siyi's coming home, I want to thank a stranger named Huang Huiping, who is the photographer mentioned at the beginning of this article.

1985 One day, a northeast man named Huang Huiping came to Cili County, Zhangjiajie with his camera on his back. In today's words, Huang Huiping is obviously a literary youth.

Young artists always do things that ordinary people can't.

No, in that era of inconvenient transportation, Huang Huiping set out from Harbin, six thousand miles away, and tirelessly went to the mountainous areas of western Hunan.

He has been fascinated by this mysterious land for a long time. Mr. Shen Congwen's Border Town, like a timeless letter, deeply touched the hearts of many tourists.

The simple love story of Cui Cui and Nuo is as refreshing as sour lemonade, which makes people involuntarily fascinated by the land of Xiangxi, where the hero and heroine were born.

There are many ethnic minorities living in this area, each with its own customs and customs, and each with its own national story. Huang Huiping came here to collect the wind, just to record the very distinctive ethnic customs here with a lens.

At that time, people's entertainment life was far less rich than it is now. In those years, a few yellowed photos can record the whole beautiful youth.

In the era when there were no cosmetic surgeons, even the generation in white could be as rich as an enemy and face the sky.

It is said that Huang Huiping finally arrived in picturesque Cili County on this day. After a short rest, he plunged into the mountains.

As mentioned above, the rumor of "vampire savage" in the village immediately aroused Huang Huiping's curiosity.

He has seen a wide range of the world, so he doesn't believe in the saying of "savage", so he advocates setting an ambush to capture the legendary "savage" alive.

The villagers have been harassed by "savages" for years. One is worried about further losses, and the other is worried about the safety of personnel. After discussion, everyone quickly agreed to this "foreigner" proposal.

That night, Huang Huiping asked the villagers to hide in several groups. Everyone took sticks to defend themselves, and several young people in the village stood behind the woodpile outside the henhouse.

In the middle of the night, the "savage" really came.

Just as he grabbed a hen from the cage and was about to bite, everyone swarmed and caught the scrawny "savage" at once.

"Savage" saw that he had fallen into a trap and fought with several young adults. But the villagers were outnumbered and tied him up in a few times.

Throughout the process, the roar from the mouth of the "savage" was frightening.

Huang Huiping, who participated in the trapping operation, thought more and more wrong. Obviously, a person was caught! Is it that the tramp nearby deliberately dressed as a savage and did something to steal chickens and dogs?

I saw that this person is only as tall as the armpit of an average adult, with dark skin, unkempt appearance and long black nails. At the moment, he is like a frightened cub, constantly yelling.

Fortunately, he was tied up, and several villagers called a big bucket of water, rolled up their sleeves and washed them, and trimmed his long hair and nails.

Now, the "savage" has finally revealed his true colors-he turned out to be a handsome boy! Everyone tried to communicate with him, but his mouth faltered and he couldn't say a formed sentence.

At this time, the whole village woke up and went to the henhouse to watch the fun.

An elderly grandmother suddenly discovered that this small child actually looked like Zhang Yuchun in Baijia Village next door when she was young.

"Although he is unkempt, I can see from his eyes that he should be alone. Some fellow villagers found that he was a bit like Zhang Siyi, a child lost by Zhang Yucun and his wife in Baijia Village eight years ago. " Huang Huiping recalled.

In this way, after eight years as a savage, Zhang Siyi finally returned to his relatives. At the moment of saving the child, Zhang Yuchun, a mountain man who has always been strong, cried louder than his wife.

Zhang Siyi's sisters also burst into tears, and the scene made people cry.

Marx said: "Man is the most respectable social animal. ..... an isolated person is born outside the society-this is a rare thing. A civilized person, accidentally fell into the wilderness, with inherent social forces, may be able to do it ... "

Zhang Siyi was only five years old when he went missing. At that time, he was obviously not a "civilized man with social power inside."

Therefore, his living habits are largely "wild".

He has long body hair. In order to make him look like a normal person, Zhang Yuchun tried to shave him off. In order to let him learn to speak, dress and eat with chopsticks, the couple made great efforts.

At first, Zhang Siyi was very resistant to shaving, dressing and eating cooked food.

He doesn't eat cooked food. He only eats raw food. In order to make him correct his living habits as soon as possible, Zhang Yuchun reluctantly let his son starve.

Zhang Siyi, who was so hungry, ate a nest of chickens just hatched by her neighbor!

It is difficult for a five-year-old child to tell his lost story clearly. From his later memories, he lived by eating roots, weeds, moths, earthworms and other insects in these years.

Occasionally, you can catch a snake, even if you open a big meat and make a big meal. His method of catching snakes is very scary-he grabbed the head of the snake, bit it off, and then began to chew it raw.

That scene seems to be eating sweet sugar cane!

Listening to the children retelling these scenes, the guilty heart made Zhang Yuchun and his wife as parents almost collapse!

The child suffered so much in the mountains that it was difficult for him to survive in the wild for eight years without fireworks. Due to severe malnutrition, Zhang Siyi is weak and skinny, and her hair is mainly yellow and white.

Guilt and love for his son supported Zhang Yuchun and his wife to insist on raising a wild son.

They start with the simplest eating and dressing, and slowly teach their sons one by one, just like teaching a one-year-old baby.

Years passed quickly, and Zhang Siyi finally got rid of most of his bad habits. But the biggest problem is that he has never been able to blend into the crowd smoothly and has not learned how to get along well with strangers.

Neighbors began to put up with Zhang Siyi's nuisance until they couldn't bear it anymore, and they came to the door to look for trouble. Anyone who loses animals in the village will be blamed by Zhang Siyi. The villagers began to reject him and expel him.

In order not to let his son be born outside, for a long time, his father Zhang Yuchun had to keep him indoors.

For the benefactor Huang Huiping, Zhang Yuchun and his wife have always been very grateful. After that year, Huang Huiping returned to his hometown in the northeast, but the two sides kept in touch.

Faced with the situation in Zhang Siyi, some villagers gave advice to Zhang Yuchun. You can ask Huang Huiping, she is well informed. After receiving a call from Zhang Yuchun, Huang Huiping quickly contacted a friend named Hu Guangqiang.

Businessman Hu Guangqiang developed a tourism project called "savage valley" in Cili County. After learning more about Zhang Siyi, Hu Guangqiang had a flash of light. Isn't this just in line with the project of "savage valley"?

To remain "barbaric", Zhang Siyi is a ready-made candidate. Soon, accompanied by his parents, Hu Guangqiang met Zhang Siyi and hired Zhang Siyi in the name of the company.

His job is to show tourists live snakes and chickens. Since then, Zhang Siyi has been able to show his strengths and find a job to make a living.

Huang Huiping has a good eye, and both sides are satisfied with the matchmaking.

After the "savage valley" project was opened, Zhang Siyi's performance attracted the attention of many tourists, and many people came to watch his performance.

Zhang Siyi's income has also increased, from a few hundred yuan a month at the beginning to several thousand yuan later.

People's hearts are all meat. Hu Guangqiang likes Zhang Siyi, likes his hard work and always cares more about this child.

He often observed Zhang Siyi's spare time life, and found that he not only kept the habit of eating raw food, but also had difficulty in normal conversation and communication with the opposite sex.

In order to help Zhang Siyi change his eating habits, Hu Guangqiang can hide all the snakes in savage valley. Zhang Siyi had no food and had to starve.

The next day, Zhang Siyi couldn't stand the torture of hunger any longer and accepted Hu Guangqiang's kindness-a pot of hot meals.

Zhang Yuchun was very happy after hearing his son's progress and was grateful to Hu Guangqiang and Huang Huiping. Although the process was slow, Zhang Siyi finally found a normal lifestyle.

A few years later, 22-year-old Zhang Siyi, accompanied by Hu Guangqiang, "returned home dressed in gold", which attracted the whole village to watch.

In the mountainous area of Xiangxi, a 22-year-old man has reached marriageable age.

However, Zhang Siyi, who loves raw chickens and live snakes, is still single, because girls are afraid to approach him. In this way, he wasted several years and never found a suitable marriage partner.

Zhang Yuchun and his wife also broke their hearts for this.

Good food is not afraid of being late. In 2005, by chance, Zhang Siyi met a girl named Tian Youqun, and the two sides had contacts and gradually developed feelings.

Fate is coming, I can't stop it! Soon after, the two young people tied the knot. Now, Zhang Siyi is the father of two children.

He will still perform his specialty of eating snakes in front of tourists, but he has long since broken away from the habit of eating raw meat and just regarded it as a job.

In recent years, Zhang Siyi has participated in radio and television programs for many times, telling people about his legendary experience different from ordinary people.

In order to enrich the performance, he learned various stunts such as swallowing torches, burning his body and lifting weights with needles in his throat.

After Zhang Siyi became famous, some people questioned that he had experienced fraud and was suspected of speculation. "How did a 5-year-old child survive in the cave for 8 years? Is this fake news? "

Zhang Siyi publicly responded to this: "More than 300 people in the village can testify for me."

Fortunately, this unfortunate person who has been separated from society and family for eight years has finally returned to the right track of life and formed his own happy family.

He will always be grateful to those kind people who have always cared for and helped him. I deeply wish Zhang Siyi, who loves life so much.
