What is the reason why men lost contact when they illegally crossed no man's land?

Liu Yinchuan lost contact for 83 days after illegally crossing Qiangtang no man's land.

After 83 days, there is still no news of Liu Yinchuan. The 30-year-old hiker has been missing since he evaded the ticket and entered the Qiangtang no man's land in Tibet on 20 17123.

According to his plan, he will spend 60 days crossing Qiangtang, Hoh Xil and Altun Mountain. "If 65438 fails to come out on February 20th, please wait patiently for 10 days. I only have one belief, stick to life! " The local police analyzed that 30 kilograms of food and sleeping bags prepared by Liu Yinchuan were not enough to support him to complete the hike. They searched all over the border areas of Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai provinces in sandstorms, heavy snow and swamps, but there was still no news. Although local laws and regulations explicitly prohibit illegal crossing activities in Qiangtang and through Qiangtang to Altun Mountain and Hoh Xil, many people still come here to explore. Walking through Qiangtang no man's land means facing the risks of cold and lack of oxygen, loss of temperature and getting lost, storm and heavy snow, no signal and no supply. "Many people lack understanding of the no-man's land and are lucky enough to enter. Once something goes wrong, it will endanger their lives. " The local police introduced.

Evading tickets into no man's land

Eighty-three days ago, Liu Yinchuan arrived at the starting point of his hiking trip-Shuanghu County, Naqu District, northwest Tibet. He intends to enter Qiangtang no man's land from here, then go south, pass through Hoh Xil and Altun Mountain no man's land, and finally reach Huatugou Town in northwest Qinghai. According to public information, Qiangtang in northern Tibet is the largest nature reserve with the highest average elevation in China. It is a representative area of plateau desert ecosystem, with not only scattered lakes, endless grasslands, snow-capped mountains and glaciers, but also many endangered wild animals.

According to Liu Yinchuan's itinerary planning, the total length of the line is 1504.788 km, with the highest elevation of 5429m and the average elevation of 4794m. He plans to walk for about 60 days at an average speed of 7.42 kilometers per hour.

He spent thousands of dollars and bought 20 Jin of beef jerky and 10 Jin of milk shells as all the supplies for this trip. In addition, we can prepare 1.8kg down sleeping bag, silicone snow tent, high-top shoes, 45w solar charging board, map software navigation and other 30 kg equipment. "The monthly income is about 3,000 yuan, almost all of which is used to buy hiking equipment." Liu Yinchuan's bookstore owner said that this is his first time to cross the hinterland of no man's land for such a long time, and the challenge is very great.

On 2065438+071October 23rd, 10, Liu Yinchuan sent a safe message to his circle of friends as usual: "This may be the last time. If successful, see you in two months! " Things didn't seem to go well from the beginning. Liu Yinchuan has problems when he enters Qiangtang no man's land. Admission permit is only for self-driving tourists who can travel back and forth within two days, and those who can't enter the park on foot can't apply. "There is only one solution, escape! Enter in an evasive way. " He mentioned it in a circle of friends.

The staff of Shuanghu County Public Security Bureau introduced to Qiang (a pseudonym) that there is a tourist route from Shuanghu County to the no-man's land, which is to take the only dirt road more than 90 kilometers long to the glacier. If you go, you have to go to the forestry bureau to apply for a certificate. "On the way from Shuanghu County to Glacier, we set up a checkpoint. If there is an attempt to evade the ticket, it will be repatriated or handed over to the forest public security. " Xiang Qiang analysis, it is likely that this place is sparsely populated, and Liu Yinchuan bypassed the checkpoint.

Liu Yinchuan did not take the dirt road, but bypassed several kilometers according to the established route. He said that he hoped not to be repatriated. "After the glacier, everything will be fine."

▲ Liu Yinchuan's circle of friends stayed at 2017101October 23.

Since then, his circle of friends has never been updated. After the agreed latest time of 65438+1 October1,he still hasn't left the no-man's land.

Sandstorms, snow and swamps

Qiangtang no man's land has always been regarded as a "life forbidden zone". The average altitude here is four or five kilometers, and the highest is 6500 meters. It is covered with snow all year round. In winter, ultraviolet rays are strong during the day, and the temperature is below MINUS 30℃ at night, and the wind and sand are very heavy. In addition, there are many mountains and gravel roads, and the traffic is inconvenient.

Liu Jia, Liu Yinchuan's younger brother, said that his elder brother walked an average of 7.4 kilometers per hour, which was only 20 or 30 kilometers a day. "Considering that he is walking, we should drive to catch up as soon as possible." Xiang Qiang introduced that 10, 65438 began to look for Liu Yinchuan, and Shuanghu County Public Security Bureau and Forest Public Security Bureau of Forestry Bureau sent 10 people and two cars to the no-man's land. They searched along the hiking route drawn up by Liu Yinchuan. After more than 90 kilometers of the only dirt road leading to no man's land, there were undeveloped mountains and glaciers everywhere. "It snowed heavily in those days, and we have always found Duoge Cuoren (note: about 50 kilometers away from Shuanghu County)." According to the police, there was no tent on the first night, and they basically slept outside or rested in the car. Most of the vehicles used by the search team burn diesel, which makes it difficult to start at low temperature. On the evening of the 6th, the vehicle suddenly broke down and had to return.

At noon on the 8th, seven policemen, three civilian rescue vehicles and six rescuers set out again to look for them. During the inspection, some swamps were formed after the snow melted, and cars easily got stuck in them. Starting from Duoge Cuoren, the search and rescue team expanded its scope and pushed northward to the surrounding "fan shape". Xiang Qiang is worried that 30 kilograms of food and sleeping bags prepared by Liu Yinchuan before departure are not enough to support him to complete the hike. "There is not enough food, and the temperature in no man's land is very low at night. I am worried that his sleeping bag will not keep out the cold enough and there will be temperature loss. " In addition, in order to avoid entering the no-man's land without signal loss, tourists who go to the glacier will be advised to equip with satellite phones, and it is best to drive off-road vehicles, but Liu Yinchuan does not.

▲ 20 17 10, Liu Yinchuan prepares for entering the no-man's land this time.

The most difficult thing is that there is no signal in no man's land, and he doesn't have a satellite phone, so he can't grasp the specific location. Xiang Qiang said that in addition to the vast no-man's land, sparse population and bad winter climate, search and rescue is really difficult. Search and rescue personnel also give feedback every few days. At present, the second round of search team members have moved to the vicinity of Whale Lake at the junction of Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai provinces, but there is still no news of Liu Yinchuan.

Temporary change of route

Liu Yinchuan originally wanted to take the Xinzang Highway while it was snowing. "Go this way, is there any danger, mainly to test perseverance. However, his border defense certificate expired and the new one was not completed, so he temporarily changed his plan and crossed the no-man's land from Shuanghu County. " Xu Hai said.

Xu Hai is the owner of a bookstore in Changsha, Hunan. 20 15 12, Liu Yinchuan came to the bookstore to apply. "Before he came to work, he said that he would take the Sichuan-Tibet line immediately and arrive in a month or two." Xu Hai said that he usually likes to go for a drive, and the two have the same interests and hit it off. In the past two years, Liu Yinchuan spent nearly half his time on foot. He called himself a "traveler" and gave himself an alias: Xia Liu. Ceng Jing said that this means "life is like a summer flower": short as a surprise/gorgeous as a summer flower/I am a blink of an eye/a moment across the horizon. "Summer, drive to Ali with me. I will pick you up at the inn early tomorrow morning! " 2065438+In September 2007, Xu Hai invited Liu Yinchuan to go to Ali by car.

When there is no oil when passing through the edge of no man's land, Liu Yinchuan will take the initiative to borrow it from Tibetans living nearby. When encountering swamps or unfamiliar roads, Liu Yinchuan is also coordinating communication.

Along the way, fewer and fewer people; The scenery is getting more and more beautiful. After passing a lake on the plateau, the two stopped. The wind is very strong, and the lake keeps rolling and being reflected by the sun. Behind it is a continuous mountain range. The snow on the top of the mountain has not melted and meets the blue sky and white clouds in the distance. "Great, great atmosphere!" In the video, Liu Yinchuan, wearing a denim shirt and hair, shouted. He spread his arms as wide as possible and kept trying to catch up with the rising and falling waters of the lake.

The scenery in those inaccessible places is really beautiful. Liu Jia said that at the end of each trip, my brother would share his experiences with his family.

Beauty and danger coexist. A netizen who stayed in Qiangtang for a week and finally withdrew said that no man's land is not literally "nobody", there is no road at all, liquid water is frozen into ice almost every day, and it is common to be blocked by cars seven or eight times a day. In the snowstorm, it is difficult to tell people from several meters away, and there are wild animals. In cold and oxygen-deficient places, the load is tens of kilograms, and there is no signal and no supply in the whole process.

At the beginning of last year 10, Liu Yinchuan and Xu Hai said goodbye in Lhasa. Xu Hai said that Liu Yinchuan walked in no man's land, which was a bit hasty and reckless. Although he sent a circle of friends to say that he was fully prepared, it was the first time after all, and he was still alone, and the preparation was still not enough. "He decided to good things, advised all can't stop. At that time, I might have thought about leaving quickly and coming out early. Besides hiking, Liu Yinchuan's favorite thing is to raise flowers, especially tulips. He also said to Xu Hai, "I will go back to the bookstore during the Spring Festival and take good care of those flowers."

Step into a dangerous place

"I didn't know Qiangtang was such a dangerous place. I asked him before, and he didn't elaborate, and then he changed the subject. " Liu Yinchuan's girlfriend Ceng Jing (pseudonym) recalled that her boyfriend had talked about the idea of crossing the no-man's land before he left.

From 20 10, Liu Yinchuan spent most of his time exploring on foot, and at other times he went to work to earn money and change equipment. Ceng Jing wants him to settle down, but she can see that her boyfriend knows the danger, but he still enjoys it. His parents also want their children to settle down and have a regular job. If nothing happens, get married at the end of the year.

Liu Jia said that although my brother is very filial, he is unwilling to compromise on foot. "In his view, everyone has the right to make their own choices, but the path they choose is different. And he happened to fall in love with hiking and was very persistent. "

▲ 2065438+September 2007, Liu Yinchuan was in Ali area.

Between the dilemma, Liu Yinchuan chose not to elaborate on his family's hiking. Later, updating his circle of friends became a way for him to "report peace".

According to Liu Jia, my brother fell in love with hiking, which was related to a setback.

He recalled that after graduating from college, Liu Yinchuan raised 10 million yuan to do business with friends. "That was his very good friend, but what I didn't expect was that the other party secretly transferred the customer information, causing the store to close directly and the money was gone." Liu Jia said that he had never been in contact with his brother on foot since he was a child, and he began to like it since then. Once the whole family was there, Liu Yinchuan made an excuse to buy cigarettes and went out. Two or three hours later, he arrived at Jinding of Wudang Mountain from Danjiangkou. "I couldn't believe it when I said it. He has 20 yuan in his pocket, which is 100 kilometers apart. It is not enough to take a bus, plus Wudang Mountain is more than 4,000 meters high. " During the journey, sometimes it is a swamp, where leeches crawl everywhere; Sometimes I will watch ganoderma lucidum and eat a "game"; Sometimes yak bones and antelope horns; Wild donkeys, Tibetan antelopes, rabbits, wolves, lakes, grasslands, sandy land, starry sky ... "He said that he likes the scenery along the road, and he feels very free alone on the road." Liu Jia told the agent.

After parting from Xu Hai in June 5438+last year 10, Liu Yinchuan came to Lhasa, ready to cross the no-man's land. 101October 2 1 day, he packed his equipment early in the morning and said goodbye to the hotel owner. He first went to the western suburb passenger station and found that there was no shuttle bus; I went to the Northern Suburb Bus Terminal again and learned that the ticket was booked in three days. Liu Yinchuan had to temporarily return to the hostel. It was not until1October 23rd 10 that he got on the bus to Shuanghu County.

Danger and search and rescue

"There are almost no people who choose to enter the no-man's land in winter. Liu Yinchuan is an exception." According to the staff of Shuanghu County Public Security Bureau, it is best to travel in September and 10. One is to avoid the swamp snow in summer, and the other is to catch up with the snowstorm and the weather is fine. However, due to the high altitude and low temperature, tourists still choose to visit road trip in summer. "At this time of year, we carry out search and rescue the most times. The main situation is that the car is stuck in the swamp. " Tell John. He mentioned that once, when searching and rescuing vehicles trapped in the swamp, the rescue vehicles only traveled five or six hundred meters and fell into the swamp more than a dozen times. Later, when I met a big lake, the traffic couldn't pass, so I avoided the lake with the nearby police and started searching and rescue from another direction.

In the past few days of looking for Liu Yinchuan, the police in Shuanghu County launched police forces from various departments and took turns to enter the no-man's land to look for it. The police said that because the search and rescue is still in progress, it is impossible to estimate the cost at present. In June 5438+10 last year, three donkey friends illegally crossed Wolong no man's land and were trapped. The local organization searched and rescued 30 people for six days and five nights and moved them to safety. According to the Regulations on Nature Reserves, each person is fined 5000 yuan. Excluding the rescue expenses of 22,000 yuan borne by functional departments, three people * * * bear the rescue expenses of 450,638+00 yuan.

Not only that, in case of sudden weather, the search and rescue personnel themselves are in danger. Xiang Qiang introduced that considering the physical condition of the team members, they can go out for search and rescue for up to seven days. In addition to carrying food such as gas buses and mineral water, we should also prepare vehicles with hundreds of liters of oil, as well as satellite phones, wire ropes and shovels. "The climate inside is unpredictable. Some players can't afford to stay for a long time, and there are situations such as lack of oxygen and black face. " In fact, as early as 20 15, Xinjiang, Qinghai and Tibet jointly issued a notice prohibiting any unit or individual from entering Altun Mountain, Hoh Xil and Qiangtang National Nature Reserves for illegal crossing activities.

"Don't covet the beauty of Qiangtang no man's land, and illegal crossing will bear serious consequences." The official WeChat account of the Cyber Security Corps of Tibet Public Security Department said.

20 17 In May, Tibet Forestry Department reiterated and issued the Announcement on Prohibiting Illegal Crossing Activities in Qiangtang National Nature Reserve, which mentioned that in order to protect biodiversity and ecological environment, it is strictly forbidden to organize or implement illegal crossing activities in Qiangtang, and it is strictly forbidden to carry out illegal crossing activities to Altun Mountain and Hoh Xil through Qiangtang. Those who enter the country illegally will be investigated for criminal responsibility once they are investigated.

However, in recent years, many hikers even choose to hike in Qiangtang and other no-man's land in the name of "challenging themselves and not wanting to be disturbed by noise" to show off.

Xiang Qiang introduced that the area of Shuanghu County alone exceeds 1.29 million square kilometers, and the Qiangtang area exceeds 400,000 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of more than 200 Beijing. Crossing on foot means facing the risks of cold and lack of oxygen, wading in ice, getting lost due to temperature loss, storms and heavy snow, wild animals, no signal and no supply. "Many people lack understanding of the no-man's land and are lucky enough to enter. Once something goes wrong, it will be life-threatening. " Xiang Qiang still remembers that three or four years ago, a donkey friend lost contact after entering no man's land. So far, it has not been found.
