"Seventy-seven Days"

Text/Shen Moliang

Qiangtang No Man’s Land, with an average altitude of 4,700 kilometers, is the second largest wilderness in China, with nearly 300,000 square kilometers of land uninhabited. There are very few people who have the courage to cross Qiangtang, and even fewer people who can come out safely from the no-man's land.

The movie "Seventy-Seven Days" is based on the real experience of Mr. Yang Liusong and his book "The Clearing of the North". It stars Zhao Hantang and the literary goddess Jiang Yiyan. The filming lasted three years and tells the story of Lao Yang's plan. The story of eighty days of traveling alone through no man's land, the third pole of the world - Qiangtang, and meeting the blue sky in Lhasa.

Xu Wei sang, "Life is not just about the things in front of you, but also poetry and distant fields."

Da Bing wrote, "In the rivers and lakes that are suddenly sunny and rainy, I hope you have dreams like horses, You can always live anywhere."

The reason why the artistic youth resigned: "The world is so big, I want to see it."

Is the distance really so attractive? Yes, very tempting.

Once upon a time, Lhasa became a place that countless people flocked to. It became popular for backpackers to hitchhike all the way to Lhasa, and it became popular for cyclists to go all the way to Lhasa along 318. Netizens posted the train tickets to Lhasa. Airline tickets have attracted the envy of countless people, as if going to Lhasa can cleanse their dirty souls.

However, some people really like Tibet, not just for a simple term.

In the film, Lao Yang’s purpose from the beginning was to cross the Qiangtang, not to follow the trend, because he said: "In the vast universe, in a short life, muster up courage, Do what you want to do and become who you want to be."

Some people say that Lao Yang is a lunatic and is joking with his life. Crossing the Qiangtang alone is not an easy task. Some people enter and are never found again. He said: "Some people died at the age of thirty and were buried at the age of eighty."

See Anyone who has watched the film knows that Lao Yang not only does not make fun of life, but also cherishes his life. And there was only one reason for him to cross Qiangtang: to do what he wanted to do and become who he wanted to be.

Lan Tian, ??a photographer, suffered damage to his thoracic spine due to a fall while shooting the starry sky in Mount Kailash. He became hemiplegic and could only move in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. On the surface, she is optimistic and strong. She helps everyone who is in the same predicament as her. She does a lot of things herself and does not easily cause trouble to others. When she smiles, she shines and is very warm. However, the injustice of fate to her made her despair. She hated her disabled body and once wanted to disappear from the world.

Lao Yang saved her. Rather, they saved each other. Lao Yang carried Lan Tian to the foot of Mount Kailash, taking her to appreciate the most beautiful starry sky again, and also gave her the courage to continue living. When Lao Yang was on the verge of death, Lan Tian's smile appeared in his mind, making him feel warm and his will to live stronger.

Encountered a lone yak, was chased by wolves many times, faced the crisis of dying of thirst, lost control of food, erupted in glacial floods, was hit by a tornado, ran out of food and was about to starve to death. No matter which one of these crises is faced by ordinary people, it is fatal, but when Lao Yang faced it alone in the wilderness, he relied on himself to survive it. Lan Tian said that his eyes were very firm, so he was not just talking.

"Seventy-Seven Days" is also a travel film. In the film, the infinite scenery of China's great rivers and mountains is displayed, so magnificent.

The wilderness is in various shapes, with thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, mountains hugging each other, the Gobi appearing suddenly, connected deserts, and even flooding. In addition to forests, grasslands and oceans, the uncanny workmanship of nature on the land of Qiangtang is fascinating.

What touched countless people in the film was Lao Yang’s reverence for life. When encountering a glacial flood, a lone wolf cub was trapped. When Lao Yang was unable to save himself and had no time to care about anything else, he was indifferent on the first day, but on the second day, the softness in his heart drove him to save the wolf. Lower wolf cub. On the way to conquer oneself, one does not forget the kindness and beauty of human nature.

In the days that followed, one person and one wolf walked together. When he ran out of food and was about to starve to death, Lao Yang wanted to use the wolf as food, but in the end he struggled with hunger and hunger and still chose hunger. Until the last moment, he still regarded the wolf as his partner, and the wolf did not let him down. He lay dying on the ground and fainted. When he was surrounded by a group of wolves, the little wolf tried his best to wake him up.

It is said that animals are more loyal than people. People have a delicate heart, but animals, if they identify a person, will always be loyal to him without betraying him. This is where the film touched countless people.

On the seventy-seventh day, Lao Yang’s body remained in Qiangtang, but his soul was always on the road.

An impetuous society breeds impetuous people. There are always people around who yearn for a quick trip. Can traveling really bring back oneself? In my opinion, it is just an act of escaping myself. Real travel means not only looking further afield, but also finding and examining oneself in mountains, rivers and lakes.

Only when you know clearly what you want can you firmly follow the path under your feet. Lao Yang, I’d like to offer you a glass of wine. You are a man.
