I do not know since when, I obsessed on the Star. Unfortunately, the city where I live, several times a year was rare to see stars, even if seen only a handful of Ruomingruoan How many pieces. Therefore, every time travel, I always have to wear a star map that looked to hit a good environment, good weather, stargazing. This does not, this time to the southwest, takes on a large and small, three star maps. (Note: The star map is to shape and name of the constellation of the sky painted on the paper a tool to help identify constellations. It has a dial and time scale, for a good time, identify the point of view, you can identify constellations. For example, in summer a considerable Ursa Major ( Big Dipper), Orion the winter considerable, et al.)
Arrived in Tibet is in October 2003, and had no plans to spend the night on the Everest base camp for fear that it would be subjected to a plateau 5200 meters above sea level response to the pain I just want to be called a lap early in the morning stroll up the hill over Everest Even if the peak His Honor. Did not wanted to, in Shigatse, the road to get to know a new man, take pains to persuade me to spend two hours with my three companions spent the night on Everest, the exhaustion of all kinds of rhetoric, we are unmoved. But finally, the words "Just think, can be at an altitude of 5200 meters of the Everest base camp the stars, watching the sunset sunrise, which is what a rare thing!", A lucky hit with, touched the chords of my . After a night of ideological struggle, Everest Star finally moved me, and decided to spend the night on Mount Everest. As a result, the early morning of October 8, I and who had Brother and his two companions had boarded a journey to Mount Everest. Car stop-go, problems continued until finally it arrived at 17:30 Tingri. Everest had intended to see the sunset on the bubble of hope for soup, the only hopes the concept of stars and sunrise. Car non-stop drive to the Everest base camp, Everest supper at the foot of a village shop, hastily resolved. After dinner, looking at the sky, and the poor, and only two stars distant relative. My heart begin to get tense, they might not see what the stars had. Night, in order to prevent dozing off, the four of us sat in the car all the way and sing, will you pop singer, a well-known songs ruined over again, and finally arrived at base camp in the eleven. However, the mountain has changed days and saw a sky full of little snow, how can the shadow of the stars yo! I am disappointed. That Brother comfort me, chances are sunny morning, he asked me to get up. Alas, that is,来之,则安之bar, settle stayed to sleep in tents. Xu is excited about the night before because of the ideological struggle over slept well that night, I slept in sleeping bags special incense, although a bit cold outside. 6:00 o'clock, the wind suddenly changed, packed snow particles coming from the ventilation window scraping, playing in my face, Maybe I despair, your heart is depressed! Stargazing is not possible, of a sense is Shuibu Cheng. Finally, the Left of me, and came up with an encouraging that way: sitting on the bed, took out a star map, high over his head, the name of flashlight and started reading constellations, and give the old chap woke up the next bed to explain can be regarded as a mock Star . Everest base camp the first time stargazers end.
Back to Lhasa, the night sky is still not quite clear, still let me down for two days. Finally, the night before I leave, it seems a bit high visibility, the stars are behind the throne It adds. 23:00, I sat alone on a bench auspicious hotel corridor, pulled out of my heavily armed: elevation device, the compass, star map, find! That does not is the famous autumn quadrilateral Pegasus and Andromeda a star? Ah, there are still, Cygnus Tianjin 4, Fomalhaut Piscis, Phoenix Achernar, Capricorn, pony seat, how are you! Ah, yes finally I passed a little addiction, I am satisfied to bring a smile to his room and bed. Tibet is to wait until finally I do not thin, in my before leaving to meet my little wish.
My next hope is Merrill. Hearing friends say, to Deqin, may not be able to witness the true face of Meili Snow Mountain, we can see that the stars the sky is good. To leave Lhasa and arrived in Zhongdian, the every night I have with Pegasus say hello, am still waiting to see Orion in the sky hard way. Finally, I went to the Meili Snow Mountain, a glimpse of their America. New friends and I were sitting "for migrating birds," it, eat chat. As night finally comes, and look out the window, yeah! Starry beckons me. So more and more excited heart, and to the "Mix" and introduce the wonderful Star, who also was very interested in hearing. Thus, we armed and wearing the most warm clothes, gloves, hat, sitting on the balcony, looking kept trained on a one constellation. A beautiful legend of the Star appeared in my mind. Night, the temperature is very low, but I have forgotten the cold, watch the wonderful stars and the snow-capped mountains of the Li-ying, what trouble, what sorrow, had thrown the Zhuawa Guo. . . . . .
