One year later, I again came to Yangshuo, feeling like a departure to see the first company I work for, like, only "people have changed," words in your head maneuver.
Decided to travel before the mood and state of the doldrums, continuing a slump, and make me bad-tempered, emotional turmoil, followed by the things a non-gains, all the situation is even more enhanced I left feeling. On the last day of the working days, my heart went so far as to make others happy too eyebrows, absurdly, a mobile phone on the table, and brazenly send text messages with friends, everything seemed so comfortable, then do not conceal, when I can think of a word is "cool"!
Though the student was later released the plane, it also did not hesitate to decide lone Yangshuo. Seems to have been suppressed for too long, it seems to have been squeezed too much, always feel like a very dry streams that have been unable to clear out of murmuring stream, to wash his soul. Only at the time of writing I can get mental relief, temporarily to be a real self. However, unable to write an article to make their own pleasure, so I am no different from walking corpses.
Almost one person in my departure, I encountered a P-Jun, he became my traveling partner. Perhaps I do not have enough confidence in their lone bar, perhaps with the lure of the strange fellow companions, and I a fine line between, or choose a peer.

Opposite the aunt woke up from sleep in, catch a glimpse of my hands, P-jun's "witness" told me to go through, we opened up their own words in this pack, the first successful strike up.

Later, friends and travel, also like a struck up a conversation with others, the last time in Yangshuo found by Andy Li, was also approached by results. Based on the above variety of experience, so I do not resent approached.

Aunt talked a lot out of her travel anecdotes, her some stunning verbal collision greatly benefit me, in particular, referred to some parts of the hawkers have gone back on this despicable act, and we share their feelings.
Speaking from a tour of the family, the aunt's optimism is really beyond my expectations. Her childhood experiences during the Cultural Revolution was an unprecedented catastrophe, both parents died, and five brothers, of whom, unfortunately, two people died. The remaining more than 10-year-old brother, brother and sister trio had each other, finally grown up. Big Brother because it was all kinds of obstacles have been less wishful, in the long-term depressed in alcoholism, and eventually unable to return to days, passed away. The Aunt themselves, but also because her husband was sick and did not leave a child half-woman, her husband left her a few years ago.
I looked at Aunt calm appearance, imagine what her face, chest like a plug for a group of cotton, wishes it could not. This would like to point the language of comfort, but I can say? Firm's aunt simply did not need comfort, she is now happy to be alive, firmly facing such a woman, but also to comfort her what? "Xiaozhuangmishi", the Xiaozhuang have had the Sumo Er said that if a woman had one of their own customs, nothing yet to be rattled. Now's aunt, also in pain must have been his passes, and now only the case of live, right?
Aunt met on the train, I feel ashamed. Although previously interviewed a lot of the suffering of women, also for their experiences over and over again could not sleep, but that night, I felt hope.

Hot summer sun does not hurt our eyes, it seems that in temperate mountains are also very gentle modification.

Just do not know, when people can also be the case, perhaps because a lot of desire, so it lost share of the Heart.
We stop-go, all the way photographs are taken peaks strange things good object to another, stand out in front of mountains, Lijiang suddenly turn, the river suddenly see the light quite a lot of "Heaven Hill opened the door interrupted Chu, clear water flows east to this return "The boldness of vision, has always been delicate for the Lijiang River has really imagine. River heap of rocks, there is no snow filled million, not quite large or small, when you see the cow walks Xianting. The other side came a small raft, he saw the two of us in the riverside walk, across the river roar, pierced the quiet Shiwandashan was originally asked if we take the raft, and we smile to, shaking his head, in the rocks at the end of Bypass reached the ridge above the village.
Such as the narrow winding path of the ridge, or hidden, or are, some are also next to the lush vegetation covered the face several times, I hesitated whether to continue, P-Jun in the post-pointing the direction of me, several bend I are " Hill heavy water re-doubt into a blind alley, "but to the front is still" a way out. " Ridge and walked away, next to a rare crop usually in the back side, and occasionally a careful look, but also to see the people working the fields, but most of the time they are unusual quiet, but added this we use the whisper were the usual quiet broken.

Out of the shop, we see a lot of great features the slogan in rural China, in doubt with his lack of loyalty to the revolution at the same time, they had to admire the Chinese people's great languages, creativity. "Tie knot of poverty, the rich ring." It's so famous I am afraid that the higher education institutes, it will surely make the office an old pedant who lovely planning.
Also out of the places where houses and went riverside oasis of nature itself, I suddenly saw many horses are running horses in the pasture and Tian Ran without worrying about the people around leisurely, so free time so I am really longing for. Suddenly remembered that horses put Nanshan, demobilize, has been pursued by the Chinese people the most perfect "mission accomplished" in a dream, but since ancient times, how many people can complete this dream? We envy the quiet countryside, but rural people have gained the admiration of the city's downtown, just as two of the world, as they all thought of another go, but did not find both of them are under siege.
We walked onion dense mountain forests and found that this time really have no other go, after bitterly walked back to the Wrangler asked to understand the direction of a ridge and went, came to a ferry. A narrow river, but water is quite urgent, is not the last tour, Ferry to open a few meters away from the shore, and we shouted and eventually boarded the ferry boatman told us how to exploit them to complain about the transition of the higher fees, I am reminded of last year in xingping draw for the rule of the terminal, can not help but smile, it is much too consistent with "common prosperity" concept of the.

However, how such a beautiful crossing and on the sinister wind can not be high associate together. To leave the crossing a road go forward, that is, xingping of. Although we have been hungry, but Yao Yating forward, walk in the small village of potholes on the road toward the xingping embarked. Because of the Lijiang River from the coast, so this section is not charming scenery.

It is a big bend in the Po after the re-emergence in front of us, I saw the distance xingping terminal, cruise disorder to stop there, the river has been shuttling between the vessel is no longer the year of the lively whistle disappeared, Lijiang has finally replied to it The original Qingping, it seems even more impressive than before. I chose a Lijiang vision captured the only one of this journey with a portrait photos.
Along the path into the hing, Town of, but found some very unique residential architecture, antique, narrow alleys, damp ground, slender silhouette, a picture of a typical waterfront town, seems to Zhouzhuang have known each other, but less Jiangnan Roumei, but more elegant belonging to the Lijiang River. Out of the street streets, we can see that the open-hing, Town of road, past the bustling today especially lonely, we are very easy to find back to Yangshuo's car, blowing sand and dust with the wind back.
At night, we resolved the problem of hunger Rosewood, P-jun said it was beef steak be superior in Yangshuo.
