The Great Northwest is a popular tourist route in recent years.

In terms of landscape richness and historical and cultural attractions, Qinghai Lake, Qilian Mountain, Zhangye Danxia, Mingsha Mountain Mogao Grottoes, Jiayuguan and other famous scenic spots are all located in the Qinggan area.

Afraid that the weather would deteriorate at any time, the program team did not take the Zhangye route, but went directly to Hoh Xili.

There are many places in China that are no man's land.

But the most terrifying no-man's land is the no-man's land of Hoh Xil.

Hoh Xil is the last primitive wilderness in China, with an average altitude of 4,700 meters, occupying the three boundaries of Singapore, Qinghai and Tibet, and is the largest and most dangerous uninhabited area in China.

Because of its treacherous natural environment, it has a unique natural landscape and is a paradise for explorers and scientific researchers.

The average tour group visiting Hoh Xil is to walk around the edge of the Sonam Dajie Conservation Station on National Highway 109, and it will not go deep into the hinterland, let alone enter on foot.

In addition to the harsh environment of low temperature and lack of oxygen, it is also necessary to deal with dangers such as quicksand, swamps and mud pools, as well as large wildlife attacks such as brown bears and wolves.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you go deep into the no-man's land of Hoh Xil, you basically don't want to come out alive, and even poachers have many deaths, which is also the fundamental reason why the country strictly prohibits tourists from entering Hoh Xil.

What Gu Cheng was most worried about along the way was whether Gu Anran's physique could adapt to the plateau area.

Fortunately, the little girl's physical fitness is very good and she has withstood altitude sickness.

But Gu Cheng didn't plan to take her further into the hinterland, and decided to leave her in the reserve.

"An Ran, you obediently stay at the protection station and wait for your uncle, and tell the doctor in the station if you feel unwell!"

"And how many days are you going?"

"If it goes well, it should be about two days! Anyway, as soon as the shoot is over, I'll be back immediately! ”

"Uncle, don't hurry!"

Gu Anran flattened his mouth and looked worried.

"I heard from the staff that it's very dangerous in there, you must pay attention to safety!"

"Don't worry!"

Gu Cheng touched her head and said comfortingly: "Uncle has invited a guide, and there are staff members, so nothing will happen!" ”

Finish solving the little girl.

Gu Cheng looked sideways at Su Qi, his eyes showing nostalgia.

I know that the little girl is afraid.

In addition, it was not safe to leave her alone at the protection station, so Su Qi took the initiative to stay and take care of the little girl.

"In the past two days, Enron has worked hard!"

"It's only going for two days, do you need to be so reluctant?"

Su Qi didn't want Gu Cheng to worry, so he pretended to be relaxed.

"I'll take good care of Enron, don't worry about going to shoot!"

A little thing of duplicity.

Gu Cheng didn't demolish her, but solemnly promised: "I will come back safely!" ”

When walking.

Su Qi looked at the back of the person who left, and couldn't help but chase after him.

"Gu Cheng!"

Gu Cheng paused.

Seeing this, everyone left with interest.

Zhong Qi patted Gu Cheng on the shoulder, "We'll wait for you in the car!" ”

Gu Cheng nodded.

After everyone left, he turned around and hugged Su Qi tightly, holding her face and kissing her deeply.

Hoh Xil in December.

It has long been covered in heavy snow, and the entire world is almost white as far as the eye can see.

Beneath the majestic snow-capped mountains is the vast Gobi, and the bare hills are particularly dazzling in the bright sun.

The two of them were at the intersection of the protection station, kissing inseparably.

After half ringing.

Before Su Qi was suffocated, Gu Cheng reluctantly let go of her.

The big hand gently caressed her ear.

Gu Cheng said hoarsely: "Wait for me here, I will be back soon!" ”

Su Qi nodded with red eyes.

"Remember to call me regularly every day to report your safety!"

"There is no signal in the mountains!"

"Then you must come back safely!"

"Good!"

"Don't get hurt!"

Gu Cheng chuckled: "Okay!" ”

Finally, in Su Qi's worried gaze.

Gu Cheng stepped into a dangerous no-man's land.

Hoh Xil is not the same difficulty during the day and at night, and the road and off-road are not the same difficulty.

Danger is often proportional to beauty, and no man's land does not mean there is no life.

In the middle of winter, Hoh Xil is more desolate and magnificent than in summer.

Crystal-shaped glaciers, crystal clear plants, snow-white icebergs, and various Tibetan antelopes, wild yaks, Tibetan wild asses and other plateau spirits.

Look at these stunningly pristine landscapes.

What came to Gu Cheng's mind was a documentary about Hoh Xili and related movies.

After 1985, poachers hunted Tibetan antelope on a large scale to meet the demand for Tibetan antelope wool in the European and American markets. In just a few years, the number of Tibetan antelopes has plummeted from 1 million to 10,000.

Sadly, many local people even sew Tibetan antelope wool into their clothes and smuggle it out.

As long as there is demand in the market, there will be a steady stream of killing.

If the problem is not solved at the source, this industrial chain will not be interrupted.

"Have you ever seen those people with long heads? Their faces and hands are dirty, but their hearts are clean. ”

— This sentence goes straight to the heart!

In the movie, Gu Cheng saw the difference between life with and without faith.

A person can guard a house in the vast wilderness for 3 years, and his companions are killed one by one and still hold on.

Every hug and kiss before departure may be the last.

They don't have enough people, not enough money, not enough guns, even if they block the car, their eyes are still calm and firm, because they have already put life and death out of the way.

Or that death is nothing compared to their belief in protecting the Tibetan antelope.

And another group of faithless poachers, for the sake of financial interests, not only smuggle and steal, but can even kill people without blinking!

In the eyes of these maddened people, killing a man is no different from killing a sheep!

The movie is based on real events, but it is far less cruel than reality.

Gu Cheng remembers the end of the film: A year later, a nature conservation organization was established in Hoh Xil, and I hope there will be no more mountain patrol teams here.

Fortunately, after the establishment of the nature reserve, the poachers of that year surrendered one after another.

And Gu Cheng and the others went to the mountain patrol observation station located in the Tuotuo River this time.

By the time we arrived, it was already afternoon.

The environment of the observation station was even more simple than Gu Cheng thought, only a clean and tidy tent, and there was nothing in it except a bed.

The strongest feeling for Gu Cheng was "empty" and "cold", and after entering it, the moisture and cold were even more close to the bone marrow.

Gu Cheng couldn't imagine how to live in such conditions in Hoh Xili, where the lowest temperature could reach minus 40 degrees Celsius.

Left behind was a local Tibetan.

Gao Wei, the captain of the mountain patrol team, has already taken the team members out to inspect.

In the end, the program team was near Wild Duck Lake and finally met this group of brave and lovely people.

They were picking up the garbage.

Gao Wei is a veteran who has changed careers, has a hard temperament and loves life.

learned that Gu Cheng and they were here to photograph Hoh Xil and protect the environment, so he took them back to the observation station.

These rangers are very enthusiastic.

Knowing that Gu Cheng was from the imperial capital and was not proficient in Tibetan, they would take the initiative to communicate with Gu Cheng and them in broken Mandarin.

During the banquet, he kept telling Gu Cheng about the deeds of Hoh Xili, and personally taught Gu Cheng how to cut mutton with a knife and eat it.

When Tibetans eat meat, they face the knife at themselves, which is a regular tradition.

Gu Cheng asked Gao Wei, "What is the daily task of your mountain patrol team?" ”

"Our task is to survey the population of Tibetan antelopes and then use this data to determine the stability of the Tibetan antelope population and whether there are poachers."

"We also go to the reserve with other volunteers to pick up trash and educate local herders about environmental protection."

"How long have you been here?"

"Why did you choose to be a mountain ranger in Hoh Xil?"

Gao Wei pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but his smile was very sad.

After half ringing.

Gao Weicai spoke slowly.

"Because my dad was a mountain ranger, poachers were rampant at that time, and they had to bury more than 10,000 Tibetan antelopes every year in the mountains."

"This work can be described as hard and dangerous, so there have not been many newcomers to join, and there is a serious shortage of novices."

"My dad let me in after I was discharged from the army, and I didn't want to be a volunteer at the time, but I didn't have a suitable job yet, so I came in and had a look."

Gao Wei said this and took a sip of wine.

"But when I followed him out to patrol the mountains for the first time, I saw the Gobi Desert densely packed with 326 skeletons of Tibetan antelopes that had been stripped naked overnight."

"Their flesh has been gnawed away by vultures, and the smell of blood fills the air."

"At that time, I felt a sense of powerlessness, as if my own child had been killed."

"Soon after, my dad was killed by poachers, and I stayed here to take his place."

Gao Wei's tone was light.

But every sentence was like a golden hammer, hitting Gu Cheng's chest fiercely.

He felt suffocated, and his chest was so uncomfortable!

If this is a battle, then Gao Wei and they are undoubtedly going to die!

But Gu Cheng didn't see a trace of fear or retreat from their faces.

Protecting the Tibetan antelope and protecting Hoh Xil has long been integrated into their blood and blood and has become their faith!

Every mountain ranger here is a real people's hero!

Gu Cheng took a few deep breaths.

"We came to Hoh Xil this time, in addition to coming here to shoot the local scenic spots, there is also a song I want to invite you to help complete."

"Me?"

Gao Wei was stunned, and then waved his hand to refuse.

"I'm just an ordinary mountain ranger, you can let me pick up garbage, even poachers, I can't let me sing!"

"Captain Gao, don't be in a hurry to refuse!"

Gu Cheng added: "This song is a love song adapted from the volunteers of Hoh Xil. ”

"The song is very simple, it doesn't matter if you can't sing it, I can teach you!"

Hearing that it was a song adapted from Hoh Xil volunteers, Gao Wei's expression was slightly moved.

They have been in this no-man's land for so long, and they have been obscure, and there are people who pay attention to them and even write songs for them.

"And what's this song called?"

"Love Song of the West Sea!"
