Empathy

I went to climb the mountain in the morning, and I learned the news of the earthquake in Ya'an as soon as I set off. When the call came home, I knew that there were people running down in panic below the upper echelons.

Maybe it was the spiritual impact of the Wenchuan earthquake. When I learned about the magnitude of the earthquake, I was worried, but I didn't feel as sad as I did then.

Today is to the south of the watershed to cross the mountain: hoof ditch - mandarin duck ditch - Guanghu Street.

This route came on April 29 last year, but the team leader got lost and failed to complete the crossing that time. The reason why I went today is to finish the meadow and Guanghu Street that I haven't been to last time.

I went to climb the mountain in the morning, and before I got in the car, I learned the news of the earthquake in Ya'an. On the phone, I learned that below the upper echelons of the family were people running down in panic.

Maybe it was because I experienced the Wenchuan earthquake, and after learning the magnitude, although I was worried, I didn't have the sadness I felt at that time.

I just feel uncomfortable, and I have a vague feeling of motion sickness. Finally, I couldn't hold on anymore near Guanyin Mountain, and I got complete motion sickness. Uncomfortable sweating......

With this state in mind, I started to go up the mountain, and for the first time I walked at the back. I plan not to see the waterfall for a while to save some energy, otherwise it will be difficult to cross today, because this route is all the way up.

Gratgy followed, and the feeling of motion sickness did not subside. After walking for about an hour, I stopped to take a break because it was too uncomfortable. The reason why they dare to walk at the end and rest is because they have to return to this road after going to the waterfall. I'm waiting.

Oh, what is this!

This pause uncovered a big problem. I can't remember the road, but I can definitely find that the team leader went wrong again today, because now I am climbing the mountain road washed down by the torrent, and I have already walked through the waterfall.

I asked the person in front of me to inform the team leader. The team leader told me loudly: It's okay, we will get together eventually.

He said that, and I didn't insist on it. After the last time I saw the waterfall, I climbed such a water channel, and all of them were greater than 70 degrees. As for whether it is a flash flood scouring road, I don't know.

Looks like they're not going to the waterfall anymore. After a while, I was the number one in front. Because the team leader thinks he's gone wrong. What is the standard of his right and wrong, I don't want to reason with him.

When they retreated to the intersection towards the waterfall, the team leader told everyone not to see the waterfall, because there was not enough time. Anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether I go or not, and the team leader and I have been here in this group, and the others don't know what the scenery of the waterfall is, so we have to walk together.

Started to walk again, and the leader led everyone in another direction. Completely opposite to the last time I came. This surprised me.

Ask the tour leader what's going on. He said: There are two roads from Hoof Ditch to Guanghu Street, and the road you took last time was the strong line, the road that crossed the meadow. Today we are taking the leisure route to cross to Canton Street.

I don't have anything to say about him. Although I don't like to climb mountains leisurely,

You can't go alone. Thinking that since the end line coincides, maybe the last section of the mountain is exactly the one I didn't go to last time. Because, there is also Mandarin Duck Ditch to Guanghu Street on his post, which is exactly the same as the last time.

I walked to the end of the line again, it was so uncomfortable, I got out of the car for more than an hour, and the feeling of motion sickness continued unabated.

This road is unusually easy to walk, and after a while, you will arrive at the ruins of the old county government. It was twelve o'clock at noon, and everyone buried the pot to cook. I only had a cappuccino.

Everyone was happily eating and jumping, and I sat down and watched. There are still a few remnants of the old county government site left in the reeds. Today is a sunny day, and the midday sun is more beautiful and golden here.

On the opposite side is the antler beam, which looms in the clouds at this time. Thinking about the antlers beam in the clouds, he paused, and watched the clouds roll up with his rice bowl, and he was excited for a while.

Oh, it's so beautiful! The antler beams are beautiful, and we were so happy at that time!

Later, I found that this trip down the mountain, the most beautiful place is in this old county ruins. I just don't understand, what was it like to set up the county government in the mountains at that time?

The team leader kept telling me to take pictures. I don't want to move, I'm still motion sickness. In addition, I had a companion's mobile phone that could access the Internet just now, and I talked about the epicenter, and the casualties were so heavy, and I felt even more uncomfortable. When my companion told me the number and level of aftershocks, I understood why I couldn't get over the motion sickness today.

People's bodies vary a lot, and I don't understand why my body is so sensitive. During the period of the Wenchuan earthquake, it was as uncomfortable as motion sickness.

Knowing the reason, I was worried about the situation in the disaster area. Thinking that I would still enjoy it in the mountains like this, I was uneasy in addition to gratitude.

Actually, the last week has been very difficult. The Boston bombing a few days ago made me feel the same way. The safety of New York became an entire concern for me. There are relatives in that city who are close to my life studying there, and there are so many familiar students studying in the United States, and I believe that the safety of the United States affects the relatives of every international student, and every family is afraid.

In addition to worrying, I began to be very annoyed with the living environment of the United States......

For a while, I sincerely felt that our country was so good, and we didn't have to worry about life without worry.

In addition, a few days ago, during the earthquake in Iraq and Pakistan, I was worried about the safety of international students. What happened this morning has made my mood very painful. When I think about this, I can't help but sigh: the environment we live in is becoming more and more unsafe.

When I think of this, my heart is heavy. Let's get down as soon as possible.

The team leader saw that I was standing up and wanted to leave, and dissuaded: It's still good here, let's play for a while, and the rest of the road will be easy for two hours.

I was curious when I heard him say this, I only climbed for more than two hours today, and it will be over in two hours?

So I asked: Do you still go to Yuanyang Ditch?

The team leader said, "Go." That's a must.

At this time, a traveler next to him said: You may be mistaken, you are thinking of the line that walks the meadow. It's all downhill below. Today is leisure, and you can't be more casual in mountain climbing.

Leisure is leisure, it's so uncomfortable today, leisure may be a good thing.

I went first with a few people. After a while, you will arrive at the legendary Mandarin Duck Ditch, but the name of this Mandarin Duck Ditch is too inexplicable. Beneath the romantic name is a small mountain stream with half-rubled rocks and bare rocks.

An hour and a half later, we arrived at Canton Street, and the yellow color of the building on the street brightened my eyes, and at the same time I felt that the yellow was so unexpected.

The first crossing climbed the mountain in less than four hours, which was funny. In order not to be too funny, I swept the mountain goods on the street once. I saw the soft ground I had eaten in my hometown when I was a child, so I bought two bags. The smoky dried tofu, knowing that he wouldn't eat it, bought a few more pieces.

In addition, two poached eggs are eaten.

The climb of less than four hours is over. Thinking about it, I would also like to thank the leader of the team when I crossed the hoof ditch last time, because he got lost and mistakenly walked into the cliff that is rarely visited, so I had the opportunity to walk to the white rhododendron. In a word, it is a prophecy. I really became the only recorder of the hundred-year-old white cuckoo. Last year I wrote like this:

‘… When I got closer, I saw this rhododendron tree next to the cliff, which is an ancient tree with a trunk diameter of more than 20 centimeters, growing under this protruding cliff, with large petals, all white, satin-like texture. Facing the whiteness of this tree, I feel that they are blooming with the purity of a tree. Maybe the cuckoo has been opened here hundreds of times, only this season for us to discover. But I know that its hundreds of pure blooms are all for the watch of this mountain. Because in the depths of the inaccessible Qinling Mountains, a tree blooming in spring can only be seen by the mountains.

Looking at the rhododendron tree closest to the top of the mountain, and the only white azalea, I laughed: The white cinnamon flower, isn't it also an amorous woman? ’

Looking at this paragraph again today, there is something strange in my heart.

At this moment, the white rhododendron is already full of buds, and two weeks later it will be a flowering tree, and the pure flowers of that tree can only be seen by the mountains this year......

Everything in the world is like this, encounters and misses are such accidents and helplessness. Let's live in the moment and cherish the present!
