Feelings of hiking in western Sichuan on August 13, 217

It has been four days since I left western Sichuan, and those three days of abuse are unforgettable, which left me with a lot of feelings.

Siguniang Mountain has three scenic spots, namely Shuangqiaogou, changping valley and Haizigou. This trip started from Rilong Town of Siguniang Mountain, and directly took the sightseeing bus in changping valley to the Lama Temple, and started walking. Generally speaking, the difficulty is rising day by day. On the first day, half of the journey is plank road, and the other half is hillside and jungle. The next day, I basically walked through the jungle all day; Depart in the early morning of the third day, climb directly for 4 hours to reach the pass of Chazigou, and the linear elevation distance from the campsite to the pass is 83 meters. After going down the pass, there was basically no road. We first walked in the rocky pile for about three and a half hours, and then it took another two hours to cross a virgin forest before reaching Bipenggou. People are basically exhausted.

Compared with Shuangqiaogou, where there are more people, after leaving the plank road in changping valley, there are fewer people. Especially after starting from the wooden mule camp the next morning, we were the only one moving forward in the whole mountain. The snow-capped mountains in the distance, the jungles and streams around us, as well as the yaks and horses that are stocked, are quiet and peaceful in the scenery, which I have never visited before.

I used to hike in several national parks in the United States. I especially remember that in Arches Canyon, I followed the instructions on the ground and headed for Double "O" without water. The road is getting farther and farther, and my mouth is getting thirsty, but I always feel ahead and don't want to give up. When I finally stood in front of it after more than an hour, I was actually a little dehydrated. On the way back, I walked with a French girl and chatted happily with each other. She may think I am interested in her, but what I am really interested in is the two bottles of water next to her backpack.

the advantage of this hike is that you don't need to look back as long as you go forward. And because of this, we can't miss any beautiful scenery. The weather on the plateau is changeable, from clear Wan Li to overcast clouds, it may take only half an hour, and the scenery of the snow-capped mountains is sometimes covered with the climate change. The roads on the ground are also very dangerous, especially when crossing some swamps. We must constantly use trekking poles to test the softness of the land and how to pass carefully. Climbing poles are even more essential when crossing a wooden bridge or a stream. Sometimes, I really doubt that if I don't have two trekking poles, I won't walk in the future.

The difficulty of the third day's trip can be said to be far beyond my imagination. At two o'clock in the morning, it directly hit the pass, and the altitude in a straight line was 83 meters. The air on the plateau is thin and the slope is extremely steep, which is a test for everyone's physical strength and willpower. What is even more unexpected is that compared with uphill, the difficulty of descending is more than twice as high. We passed through the rocky piles all over the mountain, and just received the news of Jiuzhaigou earthquake. Every time I look back at those large and small stones, I feel that these stones must have tumbled after an earthquake, and if they shake a little now, we may all be doomed. It is also impossible to speed up the pace and leave the danger. The whole hillside is full of stones and gravel, and the slope is steep. If you are not careful, you will slip. Tragically, we have walked this road for about three hours, but there is still no end. The despair in our hearts can't be expressed in words.

during this hike, I remembered the Long March more than 8 years ago. Of course, the Red Army didn't take our route, but the hardships of Jiajin Mountains, Mengbi Mountain, Xiaxue Mountain, Changde Mountain, fighting Gu Shan and Maughai Songpan Prairie should exceed our route. And they don't have trekking poles, jackets, tents and sleeping bags. More importantly, it is impossible for them to establish a base area in Sichuan (the textual research of 1,-word papers is omitted here), and they don't know whether Liu Zhidan, Xie Zichang and Jeremy Goldkorn in northern Shaanxi will become another Zhang Guotao and Chen Changhao. Everything is ignorant, and what kind of iron will and optimism can they, especially those leaders, continue to go on. We are far from each other!

finally, I walked down, exhausted. Although physically and mentally exhausted, this is also a small challenge for me. When I am traveling, whenever I am exhausted, I will look at the distant snow-capped mountains or lakes under the mountains, think about the optimism of the young people many years ago, and realize that "life is not just about living in front of me, but also about poetry and distance". More importantly, we also have HOPE, and the hardships in front of us will become the beginning of our future life and the capital to brag to our grandchildren. As Mao Mu said in "The Chains of Life", I don't think about what will happen in the future. What's the point of life if you think about today and worry about tomorrow all day? Even if things are as bad as they can be, I think there is always a way to go.

Oh, Mao Mu also said in The Moon and Sixpence that in order to make the soul quiet, a person should do two things he doesn't like every day. The person who said this sentence is a wise man, and I have been following this maxim meticulously: because I get up every morning and go to bed every day. Ha ha!
