The next day, everyone got up early in the morning, but fortunately, with the coordination of the staff of the relevant departments, everyone had a rich breakfast before the sun rose. When the joint film crew arrived in Mangkang yesterday, it was already late at night, and it was only more than 300 kilometers from Qamdo Bangda Airport to Mangkang, and it took about 14 hours to get to Mangkang after getting off the plane and being picked up by a special car.
Xie Xingxing and his entourage arrived at the meeting place early, and a staff member who looked like a leader was already there to direct the construction of a simple speaking platform, and the staff of the local TV station were also debugging the equipment on the side, and it seemed that the local leader was going to hold a departure ceremony for the group.
Yesterday, after sending the rented cameras back to Rongcheng, Xie Xingxing's bicycle after the steel frame was removed, and while waiting for the film crew, Li Xiaowolf and Zheng Yan and others played with the bicycle with great interest, the most important thing was to carry the bicycle and take pictures with the mountain as the background.
When it was almost time to assemble, the convoy of film crews arrived at the meeting place unhurriedly, and many staff members were still munching on steamed buns in the car, a total of five off-road vehicles, three pickup trucks and two live broadcast vehicles with overhead antennas, the condition of these cars can be seen to be good and bad, perhaps it is still provided by the local government urgently. Yesterday, George Bush had already come over to discuss the requisition of a convertible BAIC Jeep as a camera car, but it was to sit with one more photographer and let Chen Haojie, the driver, cooperate with the shooting.
"Xie, you're sure you're going to ride to Zuogong in one day, but yesterday it took their film crew nearly 11 hours to complete this section, and it was all driven by old local Tibetan drivers. This section of the road was so dangerous that yesterday my European colleagues were so frightened that they didn't dare to look out of the car, and in the evening they were so adamant that they almost went on strike, forcing the convoy to find them a hotel to rest in the town of Tomei. As the leader spoke, George Bush, the communicator, came over to reconfirm.
"It's okay, it takes nearly 10 hours or so to drive normally, more than 160 kilometers, and the speed is less than 20 kilometers per hour, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with me." Xie Xingxing is very confident.
"Young man, let me introduce myself first, Zhang Yi of Huaxia Satellite TV, the chief director of this joint film crew, the speed is less than 20 kilometers per hour, but I have to climb three mountains, the highest altitude is more than 5000 meters, the most important thing is that the road is still so bad, I have made documentaries for so many years can be said to have traveled all over the country, and it is the first time I have seen such a dangerous highway, and it is actually a national highway." Director Zhang Yi, who is over half a hundred years old, also stepped forward to persuade.
"It's really okay, director, just make me happy. I can ride forty or fifty yards up to the top of the road, faster than your buggy, and if you can keep up, I'd like to ride straight to Bonda. Xie Xingxing's words made Zhang Yi, who didn't know the specific situation, even more frightened.
"Hello, young man, I am the leader of the team drivers, and we both have more than ten years of driving experience on the Sichuan-Tibet line. You can rest assured to ride forward boldly, I don't believe that we can't catch up with you as a cyclist, yesterday was mainly the second half of the need to walk at night, dare not drive fast, otherwise the performance of the off-road vehicle does not take so long. If we can't keep up with you here, we won't have the face to drive when we get to the more dangerous "Pailong Tian Insurance" in the back. A Tibetan driver with a red plateau face also came over to talk.
"Riskier? The road behind is more exaggerated than today's road? Director Zhang Yi was surprised.
"Pailong natural insurance" can be called natural insurance, you can think about it, at least today's road is not qualified to be called natural insurance. The road to be taken today can be said to have been dug out of the mountainside, and the "Pailong Natural Insurance" can be said to have been carved out of the cliffs on the Brahmaputra River. Xie Xingxing explained.
“………… Damn, no wonder those old fritters in the station suddenly didn't fight with me for such a rare opportunity this time, it turned out that they were afraid that something would happen. Zhang Yi changed the image of an artist and burst into foul language.
"Actually, it's not as dangerous as you think, so let's drive you with 10,000 hearts and promise to send you safely to "Sunshine City". The driver hurriedly packed the ticket on the side, and before leaving yesterday, the leader emphasized that this mission is a political task, in case these uncles are scared away now, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat when they go back.
"Director, I'm not afraid of riding a bicycle, what do you shoot." Xie Xingxing also comforted.
After a brief departure ceremony, Xie Xingxing set off with the camera car in front of him, four cars for photography, two for logistics, and three for aerial photography, but one car stopped in Rumei Town to accompany George Bush's colleagues on strike.
Today's trip is only 160 kilometers, which sounds pretty simple. However, the specific itinerary is: Mangkang (3,875 meters→ Laou Mountain (4,338 meters), Zhuka Bridge (2,640 meters→→ Jueba Mountain (3,930 meters→), Dengba Village (3,440 meters→ Dongdashan Pass (5,008 meters), → Zuogong (3,877 meters), three up and three down, you need to cross three mountains and cross a river.
When Mangkang came out, he climbed a very simple mountain, Mount Raou. Although the altitude of Rau Mountain is more than 4,300 meters, the altitude of Mangkang County is also more than 3,800 meters, so this section of the road is really a little short. The scenery at the top of Rau Mountain is very beautiful, and it is still a little difficult to keep up with Xie Xingxing's cycling speed for filming on this kind of mountain road for about half an hour, coordinating the order of the convoy and releasing the aerial camera.
Mangkang is about 15 kilometers to the pass of Laoshan Mountain, and then it is a long downhill of nearly 30 kilometers, and when you reach the Lancang River, the sky is full of dark clouds and it is raining heavily!
The Grand Canyon of the Lancang River is shaped into the river straight into the river, and the river is like a trapped beast between the two mountains that are almost vertical, the roar is like boiling, the whirlpool is continuous, the waves jump over the boulders, and the splashes are split.
Riding in the Lancang River Grand Canyon, you can see the lush trees on both sides of the river, their forms are so colorful, even if there are thousands of imaginations, even if there are thousands of talents, it is impossible to describe its beauty, its wonder, its rhyme. The villages and ancient temples in the canyon are embedded in countless streams, which are beautiful and clean, and the green embraces them, which is beautiful and lovely.
But Xie Xingxing under the rainstorm was not in the mood to enjoy these beautiful scenery, and he didn't stop to change his jacket, and the road after the rainstorm had become a rotten "cement road". Xie Xingxing doesn't want to make his shoes and pants all mud, so if he can still ride, he can ride hard, anyway, he is not far from Rumei.
As soon as we arrived, the rain stopped, and the layers of clouds appeared in front of me. I feel that the mountain in front of me is like a fairy mountain, and it is really beautiful.
The landmark building of Rumei Town is the Zhuka Bridge, which is completely built on the cliff, and the river under the cliff is the surging Lancang River, which is very dangerous and spectacular. On both sides of the river are vertical cliffs, bare rocks are exposed, and the turbid river water is turbulent and rushing in the narrow cliffs.
The road next to the bridge is built for the opening of the mountain and breaking the rocks, which is very difficult. A monument by the bridge, with the word Taizu written on it: Death for the interests of the people is heavier than Mount Tai.
It is said that there was a platoon of soldiers guarding the bridge, and then in the sixties it was surrounded by hundreds of rebels in the pillbox at the bridgehead, cutting off water and food supplies and demanding the surrender of the troops defending the bridge. While holding their positions, the soldiers sent people to break out of the encirclement in the dark night to report to the troops and ask for help. Because the troops guarding the bridge did not know that the soldiers who were sent out were killed by the rebels, they could not report for help, and they still held on to the pillboxes at the bridgehead of the Lancang River Bridge and did not surrender and waited for rescue. When the large army got the news and rushed to the bridge more than ten days later, the rebels had already fled, and the PLA soldiers of a platoon of the bridge guarding the bridge had all died, and they did not even leave their names. Later, this nameless monument was erected at the head of the bridge to remember the brave soldiers who died guarding the bridge
