Always thought that if there is no small H and small N, I will not go to the Namtso? Even I would not have stamina to switch End Tashi Peninsula?
Always thought that if there is no small Z and small L, I was not would not have overnight Everest base camp? Will not experience the Everest blizzard night?
My trip to Tibet, because of our partners of mutual care and encouragement, it has become more exciting, richer. Thank them!
【Lobbying】
Everest, is my mind read like. Desire, in the Mount Everest at the foot of light to dance.
That night, Shigatse, the small Z come sit in pot watching us eat. "Little L fever."
"Ah?! How engaging it?" We are very concerned about.
Is not a few days ago only knew Partner? But
Tibet, a mysterious magic of the land, can all corners of strangers who gather together to care for each other, help each other.
"Stuffy. Today the journey days very hot, small L wearing Jackets, on board the girls, excuse me off, to cover their ill come." Small-Z explained.
"Matter? We have drugs, later the delivery point to give him it."
"Nothing, I just give him to eat, and covered with four quilt cover their sweat is estimated that can do it. Is to look at this way, can not allow him to get on Everest. Are you somebody? I want him to change into your car . "
"It was tough. More than 5000 meters altitude it." Four of us are hesitant with, refused.
"At an altitude of 5200 meters of the Everest base camp stargazers must be very beautiful. Tomorrow morning from Shigatse starting the evening went to Everest, to watch the sunset, the next morning could see the sunrise. However, a rare life experience! "Little Z great perseverance, is also useful to incite force.
"Of course! However, we decided to Everest at the foot of the night, the next morning before the Everest, look a like. Do not challenge myself." We are still declined.
How do I it? Everest, not win over my heart Mody?
Drive a long way, not precisely in order to go with its appointment?
Why, do not want with it accompanied by more time?
【Contradiction】
Overnight Everest, requires courage, we need to overcome their fear.
I saw such a scenario:
Middle of the night, Everest base camp, colleagues from the bed to sit up and kick into gear breath, lack of oxygen.
This is my before leaving her to me to describe.
"I'm all right?" I asked myself.
Her body as well, in Tibet elsewhere have not suffered from altitude reaction, in the Mount Everest last but rapid heart beat, his sleep.
And I, in Lhasa, the first two days, there emerged two of altitude sickness, headache, nausea; at an altitude of 5000 meters of the Mira Yamaguchi, headache Yulie's.
I?
That night, I sleep, and lying in bed, loses sleep over.
A voice said: "Go, a rare opportunity."
Another voice said: "Why hard work does. Case can not stand how to do?"
"As to the Everest, really uncomfortable also a night. To challenge yourself!"
"Centrosymmetric like, do not force themselves to it."
"Give ourselves a chance, to the world's highest mountain to see sunrise and sunset, the stars."
"Oh, altitude sickness is too painful."
"If I do not go, small-L how to do? Our five crammed into a car, it is difficult. Could not be dropped, he cares."
. . . . . .
Night is so long.
How can we resist that temptation?
Finally decided, at 1:30. "Well, I went to."
Then, drowsily fall into the dream of the gentle.
4:30, Sutherland awakened.
"Everest top of the stars, watching the moon, watching sunrise and sunset."
It is unable to sleep, afraid of small Z their early departure, I will miss.
Prayer: "God, please hurry wake up."
After an uncomfortable six minutes, crept get up for fear of waking roommate, to the house rang a small Z mobile phone.
"Little Z, if I Everest on the real No, you will save me?"
"Of course, Everest above a pressurized oxygen chamber, would you have sent." Sleeping little Z is clearly a bit unhappy.
I used the small-bellied gentleman think. "Well, I am with you on the Mount Everest."
"OK, I have 7:30 come to help you check luggage." Smaller Z is warm-hearted person.
Small-N look at me resolute attitude, and asked me to be more careful.
I am smiling, said nothing, two days after the Everest down again with the small L-for-back, with them together.
【Travel】
Hit the road. With the vision of expectations and anxiety.
Smile forward to working with the vehicle a pair of Shanghai couples greeting is a small S and small J. Be met.
Small Z car head, forget greeted us: "sleep it, tonight gains and hard."
The small S and small J hesitated: the last not to?
It's my turn advised: "Since coming, why not to?"
Small S A few days ago to go the Qinghai-Tibet line, because of altitude sickness to the hospital emergency hit bit by bit.
Small S recall Namtso night, she Tude Xilihuala. Middle of the night braved Lie Lie cold in the wilderness no one office, listening to Tibetan mastiff barking, diarrhea with stomach.
Brave little S! Eventually decided on the Everest.
The great sacred Mount Everest, ah, gave us the strength!
The car took to the 318 national highway, the Shanghai People's reconstruction is that the Shanghai people's pride.
The small S and small J, after 5,000 km mark the monument, when excited, will have to take pictures.
I can understand!
Wandering in a foreign land, stone linked hometown feeling.
【Heartache】
Car stopped flapping surrounded a group of Tibetan children, moves in line towards us a hand, exclaiming: "MONEY".
This may be their only know how to use exchanges with external vocabulary.
However, I hope so much that they want, not the "MONEY", but the other.
My heartache had. 好想, said:
Do not, do not! You will, to the sit bright and clean the classroom.
Why, you still here? Day after day, wasted your Our Time.
Hu You recall, far away in hometown cousin.
Thirteen years ago, I went back home to visit relatives.
1 to send the little girl, wearing a two ram's horn braid, about as big as 89-year-old appearance, leaning on door side, for me Qieqie De laugh.
Great aunt told me, that was my little aunt's daughter, is my little cousin. During the day to go to school at night to take care of younger siblings, but also to do their homework very hard work. If you live doing enough, liable to a parent beats.
The little girl, flutter shining and intelligent eyes, shame shame, looking at me.
My heart for her love and affection meaning arises spontaneously.
In Mandarin said to her: "You must study hard in the future will amount to anything, will be happy."
Little cousin could not understand. My limited native dialect, could not let her know.
Write a note to her: to go home please your mother to explain to you.
Small cousin hands carefully holding note, happily gone.
I looked at her back, silently bless her, wish her to become useful, and happy days.
Thirteen years, and little cousin was finally not able to read in high school. End in cigarette factory for women.
I upset a scenery talent fallen.
Today, in Tibet, looking at this group of kids, my heart again, pain.
I hope that they want access to the knowledge of nutrition.
I hope they will at the moment to do is to holding book of knowledge, the walls of traveling.
My heart is more painful, and I even numb to not give them a little help, let me regret so far.
If, next time you go, please remember to tell them:
Knowledge wealth of knowledge to save mankind!
If, next time I go, I will at least give them material help, but not the "MONEY", I hope that is:
Man! A! .
I hope that they would like my gift.
【Brave】
Wheels roll, yellow sand flying.
Uphill, downhill and jumped over one another a mountain.
Suddenly, the line of sight there Gongzhuo Bei, wearing a helmet, riding a mountain bike people.
Could see that he was very tired, but still doggedly forward.
We praise, and hearts filled with respect.
I know that, in the plateau, the heart of oxygen content lower than 60%.
I know that in the plateau, walking than usual strenuous.
Car near, but it is foreigner.
Rolling down the window to him a thumbs-up: "HELLO!"
Soon realized that made a big mistake. Because,
In his mouth salute "HELLO!", The yellow sand apparently choking him a mouthful.
Only with great regret to leave.
If, next time through, I have asked to stop cars, then to pay tribute!
The car after one another like warriors.
Oh, was originally a team, a dozen or more!
Only that we no longer dare not say "HELLO!", And only in the minds of silent tribute!
Arrived in Tingri, is the evening, meet again.
Can not but came up once again to express my right to their admiration.
With one of them a 40-year-old female rider chat.
A German. Tibet after the principal mode of transport is the bicycle, has been riding for seven days.
With tents at night on the road to camp.
Tomorrow, they will ride on Mount Everest!
Female riders have heard that we have to overnight on Mount Everest, also expressed admiration.
"The mountains cold, I wish you good luck!"
"Yes, but also wish you tomorrow, good luck!"
I know that we have chosen a different mode of Everest, but only one aim: to experience!
【Vision】
The car is a very old jeep, but the dynamic of the place can move, should move to places basically remain unchanged.
Driver Banzola on this Road is also Mopa roll for many years to help the boss to drive.
His greatest wish is for next year to have their own car.
Vehicles approaching Gyatso La Pass, baffling appearance of power shortage problem.
Although I do not know cars, but also felt there are circumstances.
Small Z explained that the car hanging two file's capability to go, can only rely on a file. May even rely on a file, is also a problem.
The car in the ascent on, not only did not advance, or even backward.
But that obviously is just a gentle slope, not a steep slope.
Small-Z jumped out of cars, moving large stones, Duzhe rear tires.
Inspection, but did not find any problems.
Banzola began to read: "So-So-So-" "So-So-So-."
Is a mountain god prayer!
We are also in unison learn read: "So-So-So-" "So-So-So-." . . . . .
Kamiyama's temperament can not be explained.
Our prayers may have played a role, although difficult, finally step in a pay to turn the the mountain.
One-off increase tsor'a Hill, the car just fine. Nothing Xiu!
So far, still can not explain why, even on Mount Everest as steep slope, vehicle power is no problem.
Only in Canada Gyatso La Pass near the car climbing difficult.
The next day, Everest down, or the same problem appears in the turn the Gyatso La Pass when. While the other car all right.
Such a coincidence, is not it strange? Can you explain? At least I can not, we have the same car were unable to.
Somewhere, is not there are some that we can not perceive things?
【Arrived】
Because of the car's problems, go to Everest the road than we thought to be distant.
Outside the car, the night have overwhelmingly arrived. Dimly seen Bai Liangliang tapes and stone, is water.
No stars, snow. Out the window, the air pure and clear but cold.
Cold!
A full 16 hours of the trek over the mountains through the darkness. Car, and finally landed in the tent.
Mountains, a group of people, far saw lights, heard the car horn is gathered in the open space, or wearing a headlamp, or skull-bone flashlight to us and cheer!
In my mind the flames of grabbing has also been lit, all vehicles were in unison responded with cheers.
I know, small Z, a small S, Small J, they like me excited!
In my opinion, cheering crowd, is the Mix! Is the simplicity of the call.
However, I was wrong.
Cheering crowd, is a tent bosses. For the snowy night, with the business and excitement!
Why, holy Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, also the commodity economy pollution? Why wait for our not Everest-style greetings and hugs?
But, should not blame them! Life which is always to continue, is not it?
I do not let this affect my mood.
Mount Everest, it's still sacred! In my heart.
We have chosen one can accommodate eight persons, a large tent.
Tent, the owner is currently using the yak dung light a fire for heating. Us, but because not used to it the choking smoke, willingly give up the warm, flameout.
Laid out blankets and sleeping bags, the three-tier, the next three. Has never been overshadowed so much of the quilts, thick indeed false.
Everest, is again quiet! Only our whisper.
"Dare not loud language, fear of shaking Exalted."
【Fight】
Altitude sickness, such as ghost-like, quietly marching footsteps, to everybody approached.
Small S, headache, nausea, vomiting.
I and the small J to encourage her. Although, we were a little headache, but fortunately, it is just a headache.
Tiger's mouth. Yes, pinch tiger's mouth should be able to alleviate nausea.
I hastily pulls out dispels wind and oil, for small S painted people and the tiger's mouth.
Could not bear her pain. Hopefully, the altitude sickness not to her raging.
Small Z had disappeared.
Does not think much, but thought that he went to the tent to smoke.
Unexpectedly, the subsequent description, startle us hop.
Unexpectedly, all the way jump, Long fine tiger, he was altitude sickness herself bound up.
Just that his symptoms in particular.
Blood, countless blood! Small Z, the nasal cavity to flow out.
He does not want us to know, alone quietly into the snow, cold nose, hoping to stop bleeding.
I am touched. But deeply strange to his stubbornness, and we do not rely on. Come out, we should help each other.
I can think of, but removed a chlortetracycline eye ointment, and handed him, and hope, be able to lubricate his fragile nasal blood vessels, is no longer broken.
I hope I can have more to do something to help his companions to eliminate suffering.
Prayer, tomorrow we will be OK!
【Beautiful stone】
Wind has changed.
Snow particles through the transom packed to blown to my face, will I have a sweet sleep wake up.
Days, gradually bright.
Another greeting to see each situation.
Fortunately, the small Z, nosebleed be stopped.
Good, small S, or not so good.
The small J than she somewhat stronger.
I was just a slight headache. Such as small-Z said, I Yak change Mody?
Snow, vast. Wang unclear Everest.
Is filled with admired, but also full of a sense of loss, working towards the Everest of the direction of hope.
Efforts to want to penetrate that snow and fog, looking out of something.
Came, and still hope from the Mount Everest in recent re-closer.
Small S in the small J's arm, the very determination to join us in moving on the 1st camp went.
Unexpected, the snow, Hu Xian a small, shallow streams, lying in front of us.
Creek bed, there is a number of stones, shapes, idly, or to lie still and let the water flow erosion.
Wangleshishui with the head, bending over to pick up the first stone.
As a result, we have off gloves, along with picking up. Laughter, speech sound, 1:00 reverberate in the Mount Everest at the foot.
My eyes blurred by. Faced with this situation, deja vu, as if returned to their childhood.
In my stone are intelligent.
Everest stone, which has the Millennium years of history, right?
I bow their heads, staring at every piece of stone to see.
Looked at looked at, including a stone Sutherland has life, highlighting a beauty. Delicate little head, Accompanied a hair, slim waist, wearing a long skirt, looked at me.
Pick up her excitement for everyone to see: "Beauty Stone!"
Have not been sense of identity. I was recalcitrant to assume that her affinity for people who can see her again. Beautiful stone, never too heavy.
Today, four beautiful stone, lying on my home. There are small with a green and white laminated texture of small pyrochlore, there are large parallelogram, thin the small parallelogram, there she was - beautiful stone.
And Everest, but also Duoleyifen implicated.
Irwangrf1, 2004 Nian 3 Yue
