80 A Veteran's Story
The train sounded a flute.
Liu Wei arrived at the Tuotuohe River Station on the edge of the Tuotuo River Basin, the main source of the Yangtze River.
Along the way, it is not easy, take a plane to Xining, then take a train from Xining to Yushu, and finally to the destination.
After taking a sip of water, I felt that my mental outlook was okay.
Liu Wei started the live broadcast.
"It's coming, it's coming!"
"Ah Wei, I want to kill you!"
"It's finally on the air, I'm grateful for the flowers I'm waiting for!"
"Ah Wei, in the days without you, I feel like I have lost the whole world. ”
Liu Wei looked at the enthusiastic barrage and smiled, "Brothers, where we are now is the Tuotuo River Basin, the main source of the Yangtze River at an altitude of 4,688 meters, at the intersection of the Yangtze River Source National Natural Environmental Protection Zone and the Hoh Xil National Natural Environment Protection Zone.
For the next few days, I will take my brothers across Hoh Xil in search of the animals and beasts that live in this natural area. ”
"Awesome! I was in Jiangcheng two days ago, and now I have a direct flight to Qinghai!"
"Ke Ke Xili, ah, it appeared in my dream, I really want to go!"
Liu Wei exhaled, "I think I need to add a piece of clothing, it's very windy here." ”
Flipping through the backpack, "Before I came, I also prepared an oxygen cylinder, I thought there would be a lack of oxygen, it seems that I was too worried, and I can't use it at all!"
Shaking his head, it felt like a bit of a waste.
Put on your clothes and continue to set off, "Brothers, I am now going to the Hoh Xil National Nature Reserve Administration to negotiate with the comrades in the bureau and obtain permission to cross the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve.
In November 2017, Qinghai Hoh Xili, XJ Altun Mountain and XC Qiangtang National Nature Reserve jointly issued an announcement prohibiting all units or individuals from entering the reserve at will to carry out illegal crossing activities.
So I have to make it clear to the management unit that I am here and the purpose of my activities, and I am sure that I will get permission!"
Liu Wei stopped a hitchhiker, went to the entrance of the Administration, put the live broadcast room and luggage in the guard room, and went in with his own documents.
The staff of the Authority took Liu Wei to meet the leaders.
Through communicating with Liu Wei and checking Liu Wei's identity on the Internet, the leader understood the purpose of Liu Wei's trip.
Especially after learning that he was a student of Academician Liu of the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I had a little more admiration, and he was young and promising.
Liu Wei successfully got the permit.
In order to ensure that Liu Wei can safely engage in the work of searching for wild animals.
The staff of the Authority took Liu Wei to meet a veteran.
"This is the first batch of volunteer leaders for Hoh Xil wildlife conservation, Huang Qirong, a veteran, who has been in Hoh Xil for more than 30 years.
Uncle Huang, this is Liu Wei, a well-known animal research scholar in China, and he wants to set foot in Hoh Xil to find wild animals in the reserve and do record work!" The staff introduced.
Huang Qirong is in his seventies, his body still looks strong, he speaks with a steady air, and he is very enthusiastic about promoting and protecting wildlife.
"You guys talk! Comrade Liu Wei, if you need anything, you can call the bureau office directly!"
"Okay, thank you!" Liu Wei thanked.
After the staff left, Liu Wei and Huang Qirong chatted.
After Huang Qirong was discharged from the army in Qinghai in 93, he stayed in Hoh Xil as a volunteer to protect wild animals.
He said: "Before the establishment of the National Nature Reserve, poaching was very rampant in Hoh Xil, not only domestic poachers, but also some foreign lawbreakers, who even killed and fought each other because of prey.
Hoh Xil is known as the largest no-man's land in the country, but in the 90s, it was full of killings.
After I was discharged from the army, I was about to return to my hometown in Gansu Province to take up a post, and I happened to encounter a crazy poacher, and I was shot in the shin.
After I recovered from my injuries, I decided to stay and volunteer with a few veterans and some local herders to protect the wildlife and natural environment of Hoh Xil.
Although I have been discharged from the army, I will not fade, I will go wherever I am needed, and I will always stand at the forefront. ”
The old man Huang Qirong was talking, his eyes were ruddy, and his bright eyes contained endless past events.
He pulled out a photo album from a drawer.
Flip through the pages and show Liu Wei and introduce him.
"Tibetan antelopes around Wudaoliang, Tibetan wild asses...... Pretty, isn't it?"
The old man Huang Qirong looked back at Liu Wei with pure eyes, and Liu Wei nodded.
"Wudaoliang now has a protection station, and in the past, my old brothers and I traveled tens of thousands of kilometers back and forth to Hoh Xili, and sometimes it was several years to go out once!"
He sighed as he flipped through it, and flipped to a photo of a person wearing camouflage.
"My brother, a company that has retired, this is what we took when we were at Lake Zhuonai, died in '96, and was killed by poachers with small-caliber rifles. ”
Huang Qirong still couldn't hold back, tears overflowed.
Liu Wei listened very uncomfortable, handed over a piece of paper, Huang Qirong waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need it, he wiped it with his sleeve, and continued to look through the album.
"Wild yak, this guy is amazing, once we were surrounded by a herd of yaks, and several brothers almost lost their lives. ”
"Beautiful Charinhai, I really want to go again!" Huang Qirong said affectionately, "I have walked more than 300,000 kilometers back and forth in Hoh Xil in my life, sent away many brothers, and it is worth seeing the Tibetan antelope that is still galloping on the meadow!"
"Impressed!"
"It's uncomfortable!"
"Every time I meet these selfless seniors, I will be very ashamed!"
"Thank you veterans, for guarding a piece of land for the motherland!"
"Grandpa Huang, awesome!"
Liu Wei and the audience in the live broadcast room listened to the story of Huang Qirong as a volunteer for more than two hours.
There is sadness, there is joy, his emotions in life are very monotonous, like the lofty ideals he erected, where he is needed, he stays there.
Liu Wei asked, "Grandpa Huang, have you seen the land you are guarding with your own eyes?"
Huang Qirong replied: "I have seen some promotional videos on TV!"
Liu Wei: "I'll show you! Maybe I can only see part of it!"
Liu Wei and Huang Qirong came to an open area.
Prepare the drone and take off directly.
The screen in the live broadcast room cuts to the drone screen.
The drone flies to an altitude of more than 300 meters.
A vast expanse of land is presented on the live broadcast screen.
There are meadows, there are Gobi deserts, there are rivers, and there are white glaciers that look far away but seem to be within reach.
The drone continued to fly forward and photographed a wild donkey feeding, which raised its head and called twice.
Liu Wei used his mobile phone to play a BGM "Fly Higher" to meet the occasion.
The old man Huang Qirong looked at this familiar and unfamiliar land, he walked back and forth on this land for more than 30 years, and never seriously looked at the land he guarded from the perspective of God. Promos on TV are always fleeting.
At this moment, the wrinkles on Huang Qirong's face were squeezed together, he was excited, he was moved, and he was still a little honored.
"Meimeimei!"
"It's so beautiful!"
"The motherland is a great country with great rivers and mountains!"
"I love you, China!"
“……”
The audience in the live broadcast room touched the scene.
