Topographic prose overlooking the northwest

The hills have boundaries, the yellow sand is boundless, the snow-capped mountains have no cliffs, and the Gobi has no borders. I saw this in the morning of May112,2065438. Take Airbus flight CZ6904 from Capital International Airport to Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang.

This is unexpectedly fine weather. There are no clouds in Wan Li, and the sun is shining at a height of 10,000 meters. The plane took off at 9: 05 a.m. Shortly after the plane climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters, it reached the northern edge of the Loess Plateau. The folds of the Loess Plateau washed away by water seem to be artificially carved. The villages, houses and trees in the folds are clearly visible. Seeing the loess plateau with less green and more yellow, and seeing the villages, houses and trees in the folds, I was deeply shocked and encouraged by the struggle spirit of people living here. People on the Loess Plateau have thrived in this fold for generations. They associate with the loess and fight against it. They transformed the loess, created rich material wealth and spiritual wealth with the loess, and wrote an epic history in the yellow land of vast expanse. People on the Loess Plateau were the first to develop production and promote social progress since the ancestor of the Chinese nation, Huangdi, planted hundreds of grains, created characters and made clothes. After more than 5,000 years of struggle, we have come to today's information age and digital age. It can be said that the Chinese nation has created a new foundation on the basis of its ancestors. However, the Chinese nation has not forgotten that we are "descendants of the Chinese people" and are all proud of us. From the Yellow Emperor to the Loess Plateau, from ancient civilization to modern civilization, the Loess Plateau has made indelible contributions. Looking around, I saw the majestic gongs and drums on the Loess Plateau, and the people who beat the majestic gongs and drums were wrinkled, making the majestic gongs and drums tremble on this ancient plateau. The majestic sound of gongs and drums tells people that people on the Loess Plateau hope to by going up one flight of stairs in the modernization with China characteristics.

I was thinking that a large area of desertified land appeared under the wing, and a desert gradually appeared. Everywhere you look, it's all yellow sand. Endless yellow sand. I know that the plane has flown to Kubuqi Desert and Badain Jaran Desert in Alxa League, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The desert is very wide, and there is no edge at an altitude of ten thousand meters. The wind is blowing on the ground in front of the wing, and the yellow sand is rolling, which makes the desert more diffuse. There are many deserts in the northwest of China. People in the deserts associate with the yellow sand all day. They planted trees, prevented wind and fixed sand, and controlled desert development, and achieved results. At the same time, people in desert areas have also developed forestry and animal husbandry according to local conditions, invigorating the economy and achieved results. I have a friend who is a member of Alashan Zuo Qi. When he was a soldier, every time he went home to visit relatives, he had to take a bus to the location of Alashan Zuo Qi, get off, and then ride a camel for four days to get home. According to my friend, it's all right now. After the reform and opening up, painted roads were built in the desert. When friends go home again, they can go to their village directly by car. No more camel riding. When I saw the desert in Inner Mongolia, I thought of the desert in Xinjiang. There are Taklimakan Desert in Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang, Gurbantunggut Desert in Junggar Basin in northern Xinjiang and Lop Nur and Kumtag Desert in the east. These desert Xinjiang people regard it as a land of wealth and ask the desert for oil and grazing. Let today's desert dedicate its treasures to people. Still, it's a little scary to see these deserts under the wings. Although there are treasures buried under the desert, the desert is the chief culprit of land desertification and the maker of dusty weather. In order to protect our land and control the dusty weather, we must sleep deeply and make great efforts in desert control. This requires the efforts of the whole autonomous region, the whole province and even the whole country to control the development of desertification. Only in this way can the land in the north not be desertified and the dusty weather will not come again. Only in this way can we truly benefit future generations.

Before the desert was over, snow-capped mountains appeared in the distance. Snow Mountain seems unwilling to come to the front and has been watching our plane from a distance. I know that the plane has reached the edge of Qilian Mountain in Gansu. Gradually, the snow-capped mountains came under the wing, and I saw the snow-capped mountains without cliffs. The long and narrow glacier landform formed by alpine snow is magnificent; After crossing the Qilian Mountains, I saw the Tianshan Mountains in Jin Yong's Seven Swords Down the Tianshan Mountains. Seen from a distance, the mountain is still covered with snow. When we arrived at Tianshan Mountain, we reached the border of Xinjiang. As far as I know, besides the Tianshan Mountains in central Xinjiang, there are Altai Mountains in the north, Altun Mountains in the east, Kunlun Mountains in the south, Alatao Mountains and Talbahatai Mountains in the northwest. The main peaks of these peaks are covered with snow. It is said that the place where the snow mountain is more than 4000 meters above sea level is called the snow line. Generally speaking, everything in the world of ice and snow is extinct. However, there is snow lotus above the snow line of the snow-capped mountains. Above the snow line of Qilian Mountain, there are snow lotus, silkworm compose and snow-capped grass. There is snow lotus in Tianshan Mountain. Snow Mountain not only produces some precious medicinal materials, but more importantly, it gives people in Xinjiang, Gansu and all the people under the snow mountain a source of life. Therefore, the Snow Mountain is the mountain where people live below. It is said that the snow water from Tianshan Mountain flows into Turpan through Kanjing. Not only nurtured the people of Turpan. I also raised grapes from Turpan. Make Turpan's grapes world famous.

The plane crossed the eastern edge of Tianshan Mountain, and now the Gobi desert appears. This endless Gobi Desert reminds me of Tarim Basin and Junggar Basin in Xinjiang. People who have been to two basins say that standing on the basin, you can't see the territory of the Gobi Desert and don't know how big it is. However, it is this endless Gobi desert that brings wealth to people on the Gobi desert. Karamay in northern Xinjiang and Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps both use the Gobi Desert to produce oil and grain. Gobi desert is also the Gobi desert of wealth.

Look at the Loess Plateau, the desert, the snow-capped mountains and the Gobi Desert, which are the main landforms in the northwest. Northwest people live and struggle in the loess plateau, desert, snow-capped mountains and Gobi desert, and want to get wealth from the loess plateau, desert, snow-capped mountains and Gobi desert. This is really one side of the soil and water to support one side. The landforms in the northwest are peculiar, and the people in the northwest are hardworking. It is these industrious people who have created wealth in this strange land. This is admirable. Northwest people, we salute you!

As I imagined, the plane landed slowly at Diwo International Airport in Xinjiang. It is 13 in the afternoon, and 15 in the afternoon of May 2.
