Tibet, the place of spiritual practice in previous lives (1) Making connections

When I was very young, I knew that the highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest, and the majestic Everest stands on the high Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. There is a special power calling me in the mysterious snow-covered plateau, as if there is a voice in my heart telling me, if you want to go to Tibet, come quickly, this is the place where you practiced in your previous life.

The first time I missed an opportunity with Tibet was when I graduated from college. I had the opportunity to work in Tibet, but when I asked for my family’s opinion, I was flatly rejected. Although I was unwilling to do so, I didn’t try my best to fight. Can bury a seed deep in my heart. After waiting for more than ten years, Tibet still remains in the imagination.

The opportunity to connect with Tibet finally came. In April 2012, A Lei, a good friend of the Justice Bureau, revealed information to me, saying that it was a legal 1+1 volunteer activity promoted by the Ministry of Justice. It required qualified lawyers to sign up, and there were quotas for Tibet aid. The recruitment of volunteer lawyers was originally open to the public, but I learned the news in advance, and the seeds in my heart began to germinate.

I know that I am not a law-abiding person. From time to time, I will always make some unimaginable actions that are shocking. At that time, my career was at its peak, the law firm had a strong team, well-organized staff, and a good reputation in the industry. When I told my close friends about the idea of ??signing up to participate in aiding Tibet, they didn’t understand. I said that I have always had a Tibetan complex that I can’t let go of, and I must fight for this opportunity.

The formal recruitment documents were issued in May, and the conditions for volunteer lawyers are still quite high. Since there are only two places to aid Tibet in Shandong, one in Jinan and one in Qingdao, the competition is still fierce. However, I was determined to win this spot, and my conditions were convincing, both in terms of professional ability and professional experience. Especially since I was currently the chief lawyer of a larger law firm, I had strong support. After many efforts, the Qingdao Municipal Bureau finally gave me the only quota to assist Tibet. I was indeed a little excited at the time. After all, I became the first batch of lawyers to assist Tibet in Shandong Province, and I could also stay as a lawyer in the process of development. corresponding mark.

The next time is to prepare for going to Tibet. One of my college juniors is in the Municipal Procuratorate. He has just returned from three years of aid work in Tibet. I went to learn from him and ask for precautions. He told me that it is easy to sleep poorly at high altitudes because the thin air often makes him wake up in the middle of the night. He would wake up multiple times every night. Indeed, I noticed that his hair was much whiter than three years ago, and his complexion was not as good as before. He told me that it is best to drink rhodiola in advance to enhance the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Another point is to avoid catching a cold on the plateau. Later, I also went to the hospital to consult with my classmates. The female classmate who was the head nurse prepared a large bag of medicines for me that I would need on the plateau. It was obvious that everyone cared about me.

In addition to the requirements for physical health, I also focused on preparing the hardware and equipment for Tibet. Paradise on earth must be picturesque, so how can it be just a glimpse of it? Although I am not a professional photographer, I still equipped myself with a set of professional photography equipment, which cost more than 100,000 yuan. I want to bring the beautiful scenery of Tibet back to share with you.

In fact, the hardest part of making the decision to support Tibet for one year was the relatives at home. First, they were worried, and second, they caused a lot of pressure invisibly. My father passed away more than two years ago, and my mother is very old and is alone in her hometown. She loves me the most and is reluctant to let me go away. After all, I am the youngest. And I am a father myself. My daughter is in junior high school and my son is only one and a half years old. Once I left, the burden of the family fell on my wife alone. Fortunately, my father-in-law and mother-in-law were generous and always spared no effort to help me and did not pull me away. The hind legs, my heart is filled with gratitude.

The local political and legal committee and the judicial bureau paid great attention to my aid to Tibet. The political and legal secretary and the judicial director personally held a farewell party for me. It was also the first time that I appeared on local TV news as a protagonist. Subsequently, the Municipal Bureau also organized a farewell party for all volunteer lawyers and arranged a time to gather in Beijing. The Ministry of Justice made unified arrangements and held a mobilization meeting and launching ceremony.

The day to attend the mobilization rally in Beijing came soon. The Political and Legal Affairs Committee arranged a special car to take me to the train station. After packing my luggage, my mother-in-law and my wife went downstairs to see me off with their son in their arms. It would be nice to say goodbye. It is joyful, but the hardest thing to leave is the sadness of separation. My wife is the type who doesn't speak well and didn't say anything. My mother-in-law told me to take care of myself outside. My son stretched out his little hand to say goodbye to me. I hugged him, kissed him hard, and handed it to my wife. When I turned my head, my eyes were already filled with tears. I didn’t dare to look back and urged the driver to leave quickly. My son kept going. Shouting daddy. The moment the car started, my tears flowed down uncontrollably.

In this life, I owe a lot to my wife and children, just for the sake of a distant relationship.
