594. Chapter 594
"You're saying something profound, I've never thought of it that way. Maybe I'm not born with any big ambitions, and my family's economy is still well-off, and my parents don't restrict me too much, so I let myself toss alone. The girl said after listening to Liu Weiming's words, then picked up a mountaineering bag next to her and put some things in it, then took out two bottles of mineral water and handed one to Liu Weiming.
"Thank you, how long have you been in Baishan? Liu Weiming asked after taking the water.
"I didn't originally come here, I just traveled to the nearby cold mountains, and I wanted to meet the minority peoples. It's a pity that the current tourist areas with minority nationalities as the selling point basically don't have much original ethnic minority customs, and the commercialization is too heavy. So, I thought about it for a while and came to the White Mountain next door, and I fell in love with it when I came here. I've been here for more than half a month, and everything here is pristine, and I like the feeling of being close to nature. The girl sat down and said.
"If it's just about sightseeing, this city is really a very good city. If you look closely, you can see that this place is beautiful. I've only been here for a few days, and to be honest, I hate this city, probably because of work. But this morning I climbed to the top of this mountain on a whim, and when I saw the scenery and listened to you, I realized that I might have liked the city. If you look at the people who are not wealthy, they have to be busy with three meals a day in the morning, they may have been bored with this place, and they may want to go to a bustling city like Beijing and Shanghai. I once heard someone say that travel is to go from a place where you are tired of being tired of going to a place where others are tired of being tired. Liu Weiming looked at the city that had begun to wake up at the bottom of the mountain and said with some feeling.
"You have a great sense of humor. The woman said with a slight smile.
This sentence may be a bit of a joke, but if you think about it, you will find that there is some truth to this sentence. Everyone in this world is in a different position and environment, so the way of life pursued will also be different. Just like you, you grew up in a metropolis, so what you want to pursue is the kind of life close to nature, and those people under the mountain, their pursuit in this life may be to solve the problem of food and clothing, work hard every day, so that their children can receive education, and one day be able to leave the mountains to live the life of the metropolis where you once lived. Life, sometimes really ironic. Liu Weiming shook his head and said.
"What you're saying is profound, but it makes a lot of sense. Are you a scholar? Generally speaking, you can tell what a person does based on what they say. The woman looked at Liu Weiming and said.
"I'm not an academic, but I say this because of my job. I am a civil servant, a junior clerk working in a government department. Liu Weiming smiled.
"No wonder, in this society, there are not many government officials who sigh for the suffering of the common people like you. I'm a freelancer and don't have big ambitions, so I'm a selfish person who just wants to live the life I want. I believe that simplicity is happiness. The people at the bottom of the mountain may feel miserable, but in fact they are happy. Although they work hard every day, they are motivated, tired but happy, unlike people in the city, who live a high-paced life all day long, jumping themselves tightly and pulling this face all day long. This is just my personal opinion. You have to go to work, tomorrow is Sunday, will you still come to climb the mountain?" the woman said indifferently.
"Not necessarily, I'm just trying to climb the mountain on a whim today. Liu Weiming said after thinking for a while.
"It's okay, I mainly want to go back and wash the photos for you. Anyway, I'll be here every morning for half a month, so you might as well come up if you have time. The woman said.
"Half a month, do you have to paint here for half a month?" asked Liu Weiming in surprise.
"The main thing is that I find the scenery here is very good, and I want to print it perfectly on paper, but lately I haven't been able to draw a picture that satisfies me. Therefore, I decided to paint here for another half a month, one every day, to remember the early morning picture of this mountain town in my mind. The girl said, holding up her backpack with a drawing board.
"Are you going down the mountain?" asked Liu Weiming, looking at the girl's actions.
"yes, I haven't had breakfast yet. In the morning I am going to go to the settlements of the minority peoples, and in the evening I am going to go to bed early, and tomorrow morning I am going to come here to watch the sunrise. I'll go down the mountain first, and I'll see you later. The girl smiled and waved her hand to Liu Weiming, and then prepared to go down the mountain.
"Come on, I'm going down too, I'll help you carry this bag. It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down, you are a girl carrying such a big bag, how can you go down. Liu Weiming took two steps forward.
"It's okay, I'm used to it. Don't you see? I'm wearing professional mountaineering gear. The girl shook her head.
Liu Weiming took a closer look, and it was. Mountaineering shoes, mountaineering clothes, all available, it seems that this girl is really a professional tourist.
"I'll help you carry a bag, or I'll be embarrassed to go down the mountain with you. It's impossible for me to watch you with empty hands as a girl take so many things, right?" Liu Weiming said jokingly.
"Sir, you have a real sense of humor. Since you said so, I'm too embarrassed not to ask you for this favor. The girl smiled, handed the backpack on her shoulder to Liu Weiming, and said, "Thank you in advance." ”
Liu Weiming took the bag on his back, and the bag was still a little heavy.
The girl walked in front, and Liu Weiming walked behind.
"It's really harder to go down the mountain than to go up. Liu Weiming sighed and said.
"Actually, climbing a mountain is a pleasure, and when you climb a mountain to the top, you will feel that the scenery here is exceptionally beautiful. In fact, I still have one of my biggest dreams, which is to be able to climb Mount Everest one day. For this reason, I also received professional mountaineering training, and later went for a physical examination and found that my body could not adapt to the altitude reaction, so I had to stop there. "The girl descended the mountain much faster than Liu Weiming, and it was very light, which shows that she has indeed undergone professional mountaineering training.
"You're really bold, maybe that's the style of your generation. Our generation is not as chic as your generation, and we don't have as many ideas as yours. Liu Weiming sighed from the bottom of his heart this time.
"I can't say all of them, I can only say that I am personal. Are you really just a little Bao clerk?" the girl deliberately turned her head and glanced at Liu Weiming and said.
"What's the matter? I don't believe it? I, a civil servant, took the exam seriously, and I didn't have any water. Liu Weiming said with a smile.
"I'm a civil servant, I believe, but I don't believe you're just a little clerk. The girl said as she descended the mountain.
"How so. Liu Weiming began to gasp for breath.
"The so-called travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books. The more places you go, the more people you see, so you still have some skills to watch people. Your words and deeds tell me that you are not as simple as a small clerk. Hehe, I'm just talking about it casually. The girl smiled faintly.
"Then I'm a big staff member who is a little higher than a small staff, or a grassroots leader. Liu Weiming didn't want to continue the discussion on this matter, looked at the girl, and said without words: "Most of my life has been dedicated to work. I don't have much time to spend with my wife and children. After so many years of marriage, I seem to have only traveled with my family once, and that was in Phoenix in Xiangxi. However, this was many years ago. Now that I think about it, I still feel ashamed of my family. This year, if I have time, I will definitely accompany them on a trip. Can you tell us about a better place to visit? ”
"I can't recommend this enough. Turnip and cabbage, each with its own love. You may not like what I like, but you may like what I don't like. It mainly depends on what you guys like. In terms of tourism, some people do it to have fun, some people like to see the mountains, and some people like the sea. So, the hobbies are all different. The girl introduced lightly.
"What do you like?" asked Liu Weiming.
"What I like is that kind of artistic conception, not only the mountains and water, but also the kind of impact that the whole environment brings to people's hearts, let's call it artistic conception for the time being. One side of the water and soil to raise a person, so, this water and soil and this side of the people will give birth to a culture and a local unique artistic conception, I have not been to a place are looking for the local unique cultural conception, look at the mountains, see the water, look at the building and then look at the people, carefully observe you will find that there is an inevitable connection between them. It's just that the artistic conception of the current metropolis has gradually covered up these unique artistic conceptions and even disappeared. The girl said with some sighs.
"You're a connoisseur. Then you can name the best place in your mind. Liu Weiming didn't expect this girl to have such a deep understanding of tourism.
"The best place in my mind is Shangri-La in Diqing, Yunnan. The girl replied to Liu Weiming's words.
"Shangri-La? I've heard of it, and a lot of people say it's a beautiful place. Liu Weiming nodded and said. He had heard the name Shangri-La before, but he was not too familiar with it.
"Yes, it's a beautiful place, with snowmelt mountains, canyons, grasslands, mountain lakes, and primeval forests. I was blown away by this qiē. What struck me the most was the people and the culture. Unlike other conquered and utopian civilizations in the world, Diqing has never been conquered by any colonizer, and is guarded by four majestic pyramid-like snow-capped mountains around Shangri-La, which is a natural condition to keep a single invader at bay. But the real barrier is the human heart, the simple faith in the hearts of the people, or the simple, faithful people. They are unmoved by external objects and are confident in their own abundance. The abundance of life for the Tibetan people can be seen by any newcomer to their beautiful, otherworldly Tibetan house architecture. The people of Shangri-La are also moderate, which can be seen in their self-disciplined attitude towards life, which does not take much from the world. I lived there for half a year, and this half year was the most fulfilling half year for me, and it was also the most peaceful half of the year. I painted a total of sixty-three paintings, took more than five hundred photographs, and wrote twelve articles there. I was living in a local herdsman's house, and I was very happy for half a year, and I thought that if I had the chance, I would choose to settle there. The girl was still fascinated when she talked about Shangri-La.
"Are you still a writer?" Liu Weiming was surprised again.
"I'm a writer, I'm a freelance writer at best. It's still a part-time job. I work part-time, part-time as a painter, part-time photographer, and take pictures of some travel newspapers and books. Sometimes I thank you for the article, which is published in some magazines or publications. Of course, the income is actually quite good, but the main thing is that I want people to discover and appreciate these beautiful things. ”
"I don't know what to say about you. Traveler, painter, photographer, writer. You're the first freak I've ever met. Liu Weiming was thundered this time and had nothing to say.
Again, that's what interests me. I used to be the host of a travel show, and I was basically interested in everything related to travel. The girl was still smiling.
Liu Weiming shook his head, then remembered something and said, "Let me ask you a more formal question, if Baishan is developed into a tourist area, do you think it is feasible?"
Actually, as far as I'm concerned, I don't approve of anything, as long as nothing is linked to commerce, then the beauty will change, and the beauty full of copper smell can never compare with natural beauty. I go to some places basically not to go to tourist areas, and most of them stay outside of tourist areas, so that I can discover the real beauty. Of course, I know that's not what you're trying to understand. It is not easy to develop tourist areas, they must have their own characteristics, and a large number of hardware facilities must be built, and they must be promoted. If Baishan is developed into a tourist area, the mountains and the customs of the ethnic minorities here will be a selling point. The girl obviously didn't dare to be interested in Liu Weiming's suggestion, and even hated it a little. However, Liu Weiming just smiled, the starting point of the two is different, so the angle of looking at the problem is different. The girl only looked at the problem from the perspective of a tourist, while Liu Weiming looked at the problem from the perspective of a leader. Liu Weiming considered whether tourism could stimulate the increase of the economy and improve the living standards of the people.
"Yes, tourism is fast, as long as a tourist area is successful, it can drive a city's economic growth, but the investment is too huge. It's hard to achieve it with the finances of Hakusan. Liu Weiming sighed.
"You are a good leader. The girl looked back. Then he smiled and said, "Okay, it's down the mountain." Thank you, sir. We'll see you again if we have a chance, I'll have to go back first. Shangri-La is a great choice if you're traveling with your family, but even better if you're going to relax. The sky, the snow-capped mountains and the grasslands, especially the people there, will make you forget all your troubles. Good bye. The girl took the bag, waved to Liu Weiming, and walked away.
