Snow Angel
Every day at dawn, at about five or six o'clock, Dong Hun and Xiao Xiaozi would get up, wash up, open the pigeon nest, clean it, and then feed and water the pigeons. After that, they had to open the nest and release the pigeons. Looking at the pigeons flying in the sky, the small flies started again.
A thick title page.
On the west bank of the Nu River was the Gaoligong Mountain National Nature Reserve. He flipped open the map and saw that Gaoligong Mountain was in the west of Yunnan, which was in the west of China. After watching too many westerns, the west always gave people a desolate vastness and an intimate strangeness. They thought that they could see through it at a glance. This kind of fallacy really made people laugh their teeth off.
No matter how long a mountain was, what the naked eye could see was always a part of it. Gaoligong Mountain wasn't a specific mountain peak, but a huge mountain range. Gaoligong Mountain stood out among the mountains like a crane among chickens. It was like a dragon running through the north and south, just like the Alps in the east. Baoshan, Tengchong, Liuku and other cities were like a few small chessboards divided into east and west, nestling on the two foothills of Gaoligong Mountain. Therefore, it was ridiculous to say that Gaoligong Mountain belonged to a certain province or city. In terms of age, the mountain was first and the city was second. In terms of height, the mountain was at the top and the city was at the bottom. The few cities far and near were just subordinate to the mountain. What was the difference between the urban and suburban areas? Of course, it was a human. Whether they realized it or not, humans were "human-centric" between nature and humans. They took the city as the center and called the places outside the city suburbs. In this way, the mountains and rivers around the city became the subsidiary of the city, including Gaoligong Mountain. If one looked at it from another angle and took the natural landscape as the center, such as the Gaoligong Mountain that I was going to, then not only Baoshan's urban area and suburbs, but even all the surrounding towns would become the outer suburbs of Gaoligong Mountain. Such an expression was not just a change of words, but it was a change in the entire mindset and a change in the gaze. In fact, in the tradition of the Celestial Empire, the Heaven, Earth, Monarch, Mother, and Teacher had always been the Heaven and Earth being the greatest, the Heaven as the Father, the Earth as the Mother, and Man as the Son. The Heaven and Earth were above all human affairs. In ancient times, any narration involving geographical location was based on mountains and rivers. At the beginning of the chaos, there was obviously no "city". There were only mountains and rivers in people's hearts. Mountains and rivers were the origin of the earth. Mountains, rivers, and the world had always been synonymous with the state. Even in the description of daily life, mountains and rivers were always at the center. Mountains and rivers were supreme in people's hearts, and they were used as a basis to determine the location of the city and the whereabouts of people. "Pheasant dove at the pass, on the continent of the river"(The Book of Songs). The flowing of the river, the dense clouds of the continent, and the fresh cry of the pheasant dove all described the splendid scene of love that had been passed down through the ages. It had nothing to do with the city. "Confucius passed by the side of Mount Tai"(The Book of Rites). Instead of saying that Confucius passed by a city, it was said that he walked by the side of Mount Tai, showing the greatness of the mountain in its simplicity. The image created by the short sentence seemed blurry, but it was vivid because of Mount Tai's presence. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, people began to be arrogant and narcissistic. They were self-centered. The mountains and rivers retreated to the end of their consciousness. They always marked the location of mountains and rivers with cities and buildings as the center. If he transmigrated, he would have to go back to the ancient Spring and Autumn Era and use the mountains and rivers as the center to mark the location of the city. From this point of view, the center of the world was not a big city like New York, Beijing, London, Paris, Shanghai, or Moscow, but a big mountain like Mount Gaoligong, or even the entire land. If one really saw Gaoligong Mountain as a "big city", one could only stare at it from its "suburbs" because Gaoligong was indeed majestic and magnificent. It was more than 10 kilometers wide from east to west and 600 kilometers long from north to south. The sunrise rose and the moon set, and the clouds rose and flew. The mountains were continuous and winding, just like the battlements of the city tower. It was a magnificent sight. The Nujiang River at the eastern foot and the Longchuan River upstream of the Irrawaddy River at the western foot were like two moats that flowed around the city. They were vast and mighty, and the atmosphere was solemn. There were countless small rivers and streams. On the cliffs between the mountains, streams cut across, white waves rolled, waterfalls fell, and purple smoke rose everywhere. The trees all over the mountain were like hundreds of millions of ambushes, densely packed and crowded. The flowers and plants in the four seasons were as clear as the courtyard, luxuriant and complicated. There were thousands of insects that could not be seen with the naked eye. Their wings buzzed, and there were colorful flowers that competed for beauty. The roaming bears, tigers, takins, and roosters were the patrols of the city. Some had a thousand layers of spirituality, and their whereabouts were mysterious. For tens of thousands of years, Gaoligong City had been bustling with people. As famous as the Amazon River basin, Gaoligong was recognized as one of the "Top Ten Important Regions of Biological Diversity'. According to the latest statistics, there were 4303 species of higher plants, 699 species of vertebrae, and countless insects in Gaoligong Mountain. This was only the species, but the total number must be astronomical. Hundreds of millions of lives had lived here for generations. They were the true masters of Gaoligong City. It was their paradise, just like the city center was a human paradise.
In comparison, there were only 14 ethnic groups living in Baoshan City, and the total population was only about 4 million. There was no city in the world that could compare to Gaoligong City. It was vast, deep, rich, and colorful. Mountain peaks, flat dams, rivers, waterfalls, hot seas, hot springs, wet lands, forests, flowers, clouds, sunlight, ice and snow…Of course, there were all kinds of animals and plants, all kinds of people. Together, they formed the never-ending " city " of Gaoligong.
The people at the foot of Gaoligong Mountain loved to say that we were in Gaoligong. " Here " was the local language, meaning " to live, live, stay or stay for a period of time." " In Gaoligong " seemed to have become a philosophical proposition, simple and profound. Gaoligong was rich in fragrance in spring, verdant in summer, harsh in autumn, and covered in snow in winter. It seemed to have nothing to do with the lives of the people at the foot of the mountain. However, as the true " downtown " of the land, Gaoligong had been regulating and influencing people's lives for thousands of years. It had become the foundation of the history and culture of various ethnic groups. That kind of influence was deep and hard to detect, but it was invisible and silent, changing people's thinking and adjusting people's emotions. The mountain was the scene of their lives and the residence of their souls.
The Nu River's Ligong Mountain Nature Reserve was 9 kilometers wide from east to west and 135 kilometers long from north to south, with a total area of 120,000 hectares. The mountain was steep, with peaks and valleys arranged in the north and south. It had a very typical natural geographical landscape of high mountains and valleys, as well as rich and diverse animal and plant resources. This was a pearl in the Hengduan Mountain Range, with 85% of it being covered by forests. The complex topography of the high mountains and valleys and the vastly different ecological environment provided favorable conditions for all kinds of animals and plants. The huge body of the Gaoligong Mountain blocked the invasion of the northwest cold current and retained the warm and humid air flow of the Indian Ocean. This made the protected area at a low latitude and high altitude form a typical tropical climate. The area with an altitude of 1,600 - 2,800 meters on the east and west slopes was the main body of the nature reserve. It connected the Eastern Himalayas and formed the most eye-catching primitive broad-leaved forest area in China. Here, the forest resources were extremely rich, and rare plants could be seen everywhere. There are the largest azalea trees in the world today-the 500-year-old azalea; There was an ancient remnant plant known as the "Green Longevity Star"--There were the original species of Yunnan cherry blossoms, the original species of Yunnan camelia, and other rare tree species. It was a forest with a collection of rare tree species in China.
The Hengduan Mountains extended from north to south. Zoologists called it the corridor of the north-south faunal area. It was known as the birthplace of the " ancestor division of mammals ". There were all kinds of wild animals living in the reserve, and there were 30 species of wild animals under national protection. The antelope, which enjoyed the same reputation as the giant panda and the Yunnan snub-nosed monkey, was an ancient native of Gaoligong Mountain. There were also long-armed apes, lorises, black langur monkeys, grey langur monkeys, bear monkeys, red-faced monkeys, black musk deer, clouded leopards, golden cats, and civet cats. There were more than 300 kinds of birds, including the white-tailed red pheasant, red-bellied tragopan, white pheasant, golden pheasant, white-bellied golden pheasant, red-bellied golden pheasant, green peacock, sunbird, and a wide variety of thrushes.
In the center of the nature reserve, Yaojiaping Forest Resort had been built. The resort was 2540 meters above sea level, 21 kilometers away from Lushui County and 42 kilometers away from Pianma Port. It was conveniently located on the road from Liuku to Pianma. Due to the diverse types of forests in the nature reserve and the vertical distribution of vegetation, one could understand the climate and scenery of the four seasons of Gaoligong Mountain in one day in Yaojiaping. From here, one could see the main ridge of Gaoligong Mountain, which was like the Great Wall of Ice and Snow. One could also see the Dishui River Double Waterfalls, which had the reputation of " Yinshan Dart Water ". Climbing up the mountain, one could reach the Alpine Ice Erosion Lake, Tingting Lake. At present, the daily reception capacity of the resort was about 200 people, and it could provide accommodation for 60 people. There were also singing and dancing performances and artwork sales of various ethnic groups in the Nu River. The Lushui County's forest department had also established a breeding base for the rare species of yew in Gaoligong Mountain. In the hot summer season in the canyon, this became the most ideal summer resort.
The Nu River at the foot of Gaoligong Mountain originated from the foot of Tanggula Mountain in Qinghai Province on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The upstream was called the Black River, and the Tibetan people called it the "Karaqu". The Nu River was surrounded by green bamboos and forests, and clouds surrounded the mountains. The scenery was magnificent, and it was known as the "Great Canyon of the East". The Nu River is rich in tourism resources, including the Nu River Grand Canyon, Stone Moon, Pihe Feilai Stone, Biluo Snow Mountain, Nu River First Bay, Nu River Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yuniu Valley, Jiangxin Pine, Dulong River, Luoguqing, Laowo Tusi Yamen Office. The Nu River flows through Tibet and enters Gongshan Dulong and Nu Autonomous County of Yunnan Province from Sichuan Province. After Gongshan, Fugong and Lushui County, it flows to Baoshan and Dehong, flows into Myanmar and enters the Indian Ocean. The journey in Nujiang Prefecture was about 400 kilometers.
The Nu River flowed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau like a blue ribbon on a green carpet. After entering the Eight Constellations of Southern Tibet, she entered the unfathomable mountains and valleys. From an altitude of more than 3000 meters, it dropped again and again until it reached a depth of more than 700 meters.
In the Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, Gaoligong Mountain and Biluo Snow Mountain guarded the Nujiang River from the left and right. The two mountains and the river were like three giant pythons, descending from north to south.
The Gaoligong Mountain range on both sides of the Nu River was located at the main peak of the Yunnan-Tibet border, the Chulu Laka Peak, 4649 meters above sea level. It dropped to more than 3000 meters above sea level in Baoshan. There were more than 20 mountains that were 4000 meters above sea level. Across the river from Gaoligong Mountain, from north to south was the peak of Biluo Snow Mountain, also known as the Nu Mountain Range, with an altitude of 5500 meters.
Under the pincer attack of Gaoligong Mountain and Biluo Snow Mountain, the Nu River had difficulty flowing. Therefore, it was extremely furious as it charged forward and backward in the mountain, charging left and right. However, the towering Gaoligong Mountain and the Biluo Snow Mountain did not give in. Instead, they pressed forward step by step, so much so that the distance between the two mountains was only a stone's throw away, less than a hundred meters. The furious Nu River was like a wild horse that had lost its reins. It was more like a wild boar that was being chased by a hunter. It was hissing and angry. A large valley was plowed in the east of the earth. The difference between the valley bottom and the peak was 4000 meters, creating the most famous and spectacular canyon in the east of the world. The Nu River Grand Canyon was formed by the Gaoligong Mountain, Biluo Snow Mountain, and the Nu River across the river, forming a V-shaped canyon that stretched for more than 400 kilometers. The high mountains and deep valleys were deep and steep."The wind is different for ten miles, and the customs are different for a hundred miles." Walking through it, the fatigue of the body was finally exchanged for the baptism of the soul.
Our border company is stationed at the snowstorm pass here. They are unknown and loyal to their duties. Like the towering mountains of Gaoligong, they watch the border of the motherland all year round. A soldier here suddenly contracted leptospirosis. He had a high fever and was unconscious. After the doctor made a diagnosis, he found that there was no suitable medicine in the outpost. He needed to go to the regiment headquarters 50 kilometers away to get the medicine. The company was stationed at the western foot of Gaoligong Mountain. At the foot of the mountain was the Nu River. The altitude difference was nearly 2000 meters, and the tropical plague was prevalent. The mountain was covered in white snow. The mountain was high and the road was far. It would take two days to go up and down. Time was of the essence. The company commander planned to request for a helicopter to rescue them. Just as everyone was worried, someone reminded the instructor,"Usually, the company would use military pigeons to send messages and bring two boxes of medicine.
This unit had a group of communication pigeons. During the period of heavy snow, the military pigeons would fly from the outpost to the regimental headquarters every day, carrying documents and instructions. When there were no documents to send and receive, he would help bring the newspapers and letters from the soldiers. He was known as the Snow Angel by the warriors.”His words reminded the captain. Therefore, the medics wrote down the illness and prescription and released four military pigeons. As the soldiers waited anxiously, half an hour later, four military pigeons brought back two boxes of medicine. The soldiers were saved. There was even a soldier who suddenly felt abdominal pain. The medical staff diagnosed it as a time bomb acute appendicitis in the human body. He needed to undergo surgery to remove the appendix immediately. If he delayed, it would cause necrosis and puncture, posing a threat to his life. What if the snow sealed the mountain? It was this military pigeon that sent a helicopter to rescue the soldier. Such examples were everywhere.
Once the soldiers here retired from the army, they would always take out their own retirement money to buy peanuts and other delicacies to comfort the four pigeons. This was considered a consolation for the Snow Angel Award. This was precisely:
There was the majestic Biluo Snow Mountain and the magical Gaoligong Mountain. There was a solemn and majestic Gaoligong Mountain here, and there was a magical and magical Gaoligong Mountain here. Gaoligong Mountain's watchman, Biluo Snow Region's angel, Nu River's singing of the immortal myth-Snow Region's angel's hymn. Gaoligong Mountain.
