707 Thunderstorm in the mountains
I don't know the true face of Lushan, I just want to be in this mountain. ”
There are many magical and wonderful things in the world that are often overlooked by those who have them.
This is the case of "Shangri-La", which has wandered on the horizon between people's real life and the spiritual world for more than half a century, and still exudes alluring sensibilities, and has always been a "paradise" that people yearn for in the depths of their hearts.
After a few days of leisurely and comfortable life in the villa by the Erhai Lake, Zhang Yang finally left here on this day at the end of the month, and then turned over the first day of the month to the paradise that people yearn for - 'Shangri-La'.
Driving to Shangri-La, I parked the car on the side of the road at will, looking at the endless mountains in the distance, looking at the sparkling lakes hidden in the mountains, and looking at the flat asphalt road stretching into the distance.
In 1933, James Hilton, an obscure British man, wrote Lost Horizon.
In this book, James depicts to the West a dreamed pure land in the mountains and mountains of our country, that is, Shangri-La, where snow-capped mountains, valleys, lakes and grasslands are inhabited by people of different nationalities, who believe in different religions, but all follow the virtue of 'moderation', and thus attain peace and tranquility.
It is a place of mystery that not only did people live long, but when it was published, it immediately attracted the attention of the world, and in 1936 it was made into a movie, and at that time it was a sensation around the world, and people speculated about the whereabouts of Shangri-La. ”
Maintaining the standard action after each stop, his feet under the open car door, his elbows on his knees, and a cigarette with a faint green smoke rising in his hand, only this time Zhang Yang did not put the cigarette in his mouth, but tried his best to look into the distance, and from time to time felt the hot breath exhaled by the rhubarb lying behind him.
Raising his finger ahead, the drone climbed into the air at a fast speed, bringing everyone in the live broadcast room into a beautiful and perfect picture.
"Shangri-La, then and after the movie came out, this magical paradise brought solace to the hearts of the whole world, those countries that had been devastated by the first SJDZ (yizhan) had not fully recovered, and faced the second SJDZ, Europeans learned from this and the film adaptation the viability of the principle of moderation, and Americans who were suffering from economic collapse saw hope and happiness in it.
At the same time, the Spanish nei war was already clearly expressing the ambition of Nacuiism at that time, when the world was under the threat of evil, and there was no reason why people could not be fascinated by Shangri-La, which could be changed, and Shangri-La, which has since become a paradise of dreams, the sustenance of the soul, and people are constantly looking for it.
In reality, Shangri-La does exist, which is the Diqing Shangri-La in the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, at the northern end of the southern section of the Hengduan Mountains, and in the hinterland of the center of the three parallel rivers.
Shangri-La is a transliteration of the English SHANGRI-LA, which has become the English word for 'paradise', and the source of this word is the Tibetan word 'Shambhala' in Diqing Zhongdian, which literally translates to 'the sun and moon in the heart', which means the most special place and the most transcendent realm in the hearts of the Tibetans. ”
'Boom ......'
Zhang Yang, who was talking there, suddenly heard a deafening roar, and then when he raised his head, he found that the sky on the other side of the mountain in the distance suddenly became dark, and in an instant, the blue sky that was originally inlaid with white clouds was actually covered tightly by dark clouds, and the dark clouds were also rapidly spreading towards the mountain at this time.
Boom, dark clouds mixed with lightning, roaring across the sky, crackling rain suddenly fell from the sky, and a fist-sized watermark soon appeared on the ground, and quickly connected into a large area, and soon parked the car in the roadside rest area Zhang Yang saw what a sudden rainstorm is.
Fortunately, he chose a good location when he parked his car before, and the location of the rest area on the side of the road is also just between two mountains, which seems to be quite high, even if the mud and rocks flow down, it will flow down the low place, not to mention the other side of the road, there is a large grassland, and the nearest mountain from his side is estimated to be at least 1 kilometer away.
This is a safe parking and comfortable position to watch the rain, close the door of the cab, call the drone back and park at the upper end of the RV, Zhang Yang took Rhubarb back to the living room, but after sitting on the sofa in the living room for a while, he sat up suddenly, and then opened the roof terrace that had not risen for a long time.
Fortunately, there was no wind outside, so he could open the roof of the terrace without any scruples, enjoy the rain outside, and bring a little snack to it, and the drone also flew into the terrace obediently and landed on the top of the back of the sofa.
Just came up, stood high and looked far away, Zhang Yang saw an off-road vehicle from a distance, and then stopped behind the butt of the RV, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a man who was not much older than him in the cab, and the co-pilot seat seemed to be an old man, and there seemed to be a silver-haired old woman between the two of them, just sticking her head out and looking ahead.
"It should also be a trip to Shangri-La, but depending on the situation, it should be an elderly couple who travel with their son, quite an enviable family!"
After just one glance, Zhang Yang withdrew his gaze, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds and continued to look into the distance, listening to the sound of continuous raindrops hitting the ceiling in his ears.
......
"Mom and Dad, my son is not capable, you said that it would be great if I bought a car like this and took you out for a tour. ”
In the Toyota off-road vehicle, the son who was driving looked at his silver-haired parents and sighed, but there was not much envy in his eyes, and there was just an apology for not letting his parents have a more comfortable travel environment.
But the old man sitting in the passenger seat patted his son's shoulder with a smile on his face, and then said in a calm tone.
"Son, we human beings will always involuntarily envy what others have, envy other people's jobs, envy other people's new houses, envy other people's cars, but you must not ignore one point, you are envious of others at the same time, how can you not be the object of envy of others.
People always envy each other, and some people often fantasize that they wake up and become the same person as so-and-so, which may be because we are well aware of the shortcomings of our lives, so we will compare those lives that we think are more perfect, and take them as the coordinates of our lives.
In fact, in this world, there is no such thing as perfect, at least in the eyes of your father and me, your son is the best, what you are doing now has made me and your mother very proud, at least you can take me and your mother out to complete some of the dreams of your youth, how can I and your mother not be the envy of other old guys. ”
