How does it feel to listen to local elders telling stories while traveling?

To be honest, I like traveling and listening to stories, so hearing local people tell stories while traveling is really an unexpected gain for me.

Traveling is a process for a person to broaden his horizons, release his mood, and gain a lot of beautiful scenery. Of course, I can harvest some stories that I have never heard before during this process, which makes my trip even more colorful.

Because I don’t have much free time or money, I haven’t traveled to many places. But I also visited Phoenix in Hunan once, which is the well-known "Border Town" written by Shen Congwen. Many people want to see what the very beautiful place described in this book looks like.

Just because my home is relatively close to that place, I went there once. To be honest, the business atmosphere in Phoenix is ??quite serious now, that is, no matter where you go, it's all about money. It doesn't feel very human anymore.

However, I don’t really like those tourist destinations where the crowds are particularly concentrated. I especially like to see what the real humanistic life of the local people is like and what special humanistic customs they have. So I walked around and accidentally came to an old man's house. He seemed to be buying bamboo products, because my family saw that he had a lot of bamboo and semi-finished bamboo products.

I walked in. The other person was nice and asked me if I wanted to drink water or something. I quickly said no, and then sat there and watched him weave bamboo, and then we started chatting. He told me a lot of things. He said that when Phoenix was not very famous, there weren’t many people. But gradually more people know about it, many people are opening hotels here, and various facilities are constantly improving, but he still prefers his way of living by weaving bamboo products. Because this way your life is under your control, it is more leisurely and comfortable.

Of course, he also told me a lot of short stories, such as some of the past things they knew. There are also some short stories about Shen Congwen and others.

Really, the old man has many treasures waiting for us to discover, because they have experienced many things, so when he talks about it, your personal knowledge and insights will be enriched. .

There is also a travel expert that I pay close attention to, "Miss Leila". She is known to everyone as Chen He's ex-wife, but I prefer her own identity. She personally prefers traveling because she loves the feeling of being on the road.

On her personal Weibo, she often shares some interesting things about new places, such as Tibetan areas, such as how to live on the grassland, those How to make milk, and where does the butter tea we all know come from? Although they are all very small stories, I feel that I am very happy and satisfied with the classmates who have harvested such a small story.

So it is highly recommended that everyone travel more and go outside more, because only when you really go outside will you discover yourself and your own existence, and how lacking and unworthy of mentioning the world is.
