Colleagues of mine asked: Xinjiang, Tibet, there Saussurea do better to buy?
I was busy living hand, casual replied: Many ah.
- Next time you give me a little time in the past come back, and I want to use to make tea.
- No problem, you have to trees at the?
Tao Tao, he liquidated the mouth bow: even if a bubble three days a year to buy 150 ... ... on the bar!
- Oh. ... ... Ah! ? 150? ! I was surprised repeated.
- Yes ah, the ah bubble a year or so, you get good return on the package come.
Another first came to his face next to the envy of her little sister asked: Have you seen snow lotus? What kind of medusa? Look nice?
What kind? I paused, silent.
What kind of snow lotus in the end? This is a dream I grew up with.
A child to see Liang Yu-Shen's martial arts novels. Described by the description of the scenery of the Western Regions is particularly high.
The limitless desert, the wind from time to time, the long yellow sand. That boy rode troops on chic, dressed in white, and even Pina speeding.
Blue Kongquehe, shining golden in the sun. Beautiful girls singing softly, and the East is not pulling, melodious voice.
The distance, boundless Xiongqi of the Tianshan Mountains, on that snow-covered place, gently blossoming beauty of the snow lotus.
The scene beyond the Great Wall, how many times appear in childhood dream.
Snow lotus, the sacred snow lotus in my mind, in the end what?
At that time, the work in Urumqi aunt returned to the mainland, brought to you Paojiu Saussurea. Looked at those tan, have been pressed into the debris of a round and round things, I was very confused.
Yes ah, sun-dried Saussurea is like that. My aunt say for sure that. What kind of time that fresh? This aunt would not tell the.
Big cousin, was admitted to a sculpture garden professional, committed to give me carving a seal. I immediately said, - the snow lotus carved Duo Bar. When carving a good seal in his hand, I scan it plena flowers, repeatedly asked: Is this the medusa do? Cousin said: yes ah. May my heart always feel doubt.
The secondary sector, plants textbooks have Xue-Lian Zhang illustrations. Small, gray burst forth, nor clear. I am taking a closer look, with a total complain about poor quality printing. Medusa in my mind how could this be?
Studies Bi Ye's "Tianshan scene in mind," he described in the medusa is "clean crystal blue," "soft quiet variety." These two words, so I think for a long time, can Saussurea is blue? Turned reference books, explained that because of the snow reflection. This I even do not understand.
University, listening to Faye Wong's "Xuezhong Lian", like floating in the clouds. The cold wind blowing, trance timid of legislation to see flowers in the snow world, like vague, Shenzi is bone-chilling cold inviolable.
One time a boy talking about a dream. I said, someday, we must follow the Silk Road to Xinjiang, see Smoke in the desert, watching the Dunhuang frescoes, see Jiayu with big, bright moon to see the Tianshan and see ... ... the dream of snow lotus.
The first year of work in the summer, with the money she saved for a year, I finally embarked on a dream long journey. Along the Silk Road, into Xinjiang. Childhood fantasies, one by one into the immediate Virtual.
In the Tianchi encountered a Kazakh child, he sold me one just off of the snow lotus.
Translucent petals, with Cecil texture, wrapped in layers of pale green flowers die, there are sized so great. She did not like the thought of the beautiful, but I still cherish her inserted in the bottle, the window on the hotel room. May be just one day, she would droop down a noble head. Her world is not human, I am selfish to leave it round his own dreams, but to destroy her life. Only the tip of her beauty, I deplore endless.
Later, in Urumqi erdaoqiao, Yulong Snow Mountain in Yunnan in Tibet, the street, I see my heart precious snow lotus has been a large number of local people to sell at low prices. Even once to see the CCTV News: Xinjiang Snow Lotus vigorously against those who steal. The camera just caught one in the foot of the mountain natives, he will come medusa theft linen bag shaking on the ground. Which clumps of white and green and mixed into a pile of dirt on the ground, a messy.
My medusa being trampled to this.
In the popular science magazines, I learned that: the growth of snow lotus After thousands of years the soil must be deposited, because located in the cold, so it takes many years before they opened. As a drug, collecting Saussurea should be accompanied by the roots, stems, leaves, and now man-made snow lotus picking has led to a substantial reduction, and can not be regenerated. If we continue this wanton destruction is not ending, Saussurea will soon be on the verge of extinction.
I faint colleagues rejected the request.
I want that 150 snow lotus in bloom at the tip of the quiet, in the gently breeze in the breeze, heavy snow in the standing proudly in the sky, as the beauty of my childhood dreams.
