Early September 2004, a rare good weather, I and K from Lijiang to Zhongdian car. Along the way backwards, almost 5 hours before we came to Zhongdian. Inadvertent flow of the road also love landscape, because the motion sickness.
Out of the car touched the north of us, to a car, came to be booked in advance eternal good hotel, friendly front desk for us. A little rest, that is, the stimulus afforded. We went Songzanlinsi by pressing program. In the eternal life to catch the 3-way car in front went. However, 20 minutes to the destination, but would like at this moment a voice leading us into the acquaintance find it away, perhaps curiosity, perhaps close the eyes close the eyes of the encounter, follow the sound, we enter a lush birch forest, because the dense ground is made of thick leaves, stood on the top was very good. At the end, suddenly see the light, a group of 15,6 years old on a hillside where monks practice their homework. Some blowing Tibet Road, and some percussion Jampa drum, and some we could not utter the name of the musical instruments, some of the rhythm with a low whisper, 5 years ago. K and I first went to Tibet at langmusi seen, that is a group of young monks at the temple on top of practice. That was my first trip, and K, 5 years, time and space, I, K have changed, and this scene is in Zhongdian, from the present. K holding my hand and gently pass it these kids did not bother them. Toward the opposite hill to climb mountains, Songzanlinsi on the opposite, in the sunset afterglow of irradiation, sparkling Health light, solemn. The wind swept my hair slightly, bringing divergent fang, earth scent. , A group of Tibetan children, lively descended from the sky is the opposite of their original home, the village has also curl of smoke rising. K wrote back ah.
In particular, I intended to leave unfinished. Back to the hotel, asked what the total units, how can there be delicious, the small group recommended warm near his home, "Sim Kee snacks." Dinner is "Xin mind", and food good, the price is reasonable. I like his family boss, a love of life of young people, because the love life of two years of travel in Lijiang, Lijiang taste that later came to Zhongdian, she proudly speaking of two years in Lijiang in Lijiang, the best two years of (2000 - 2002) in Lijiang is a life, rather than business. And now in Lijiang is a business instead of living. Have become commercial and impetuous, while the Zhongdian not, but in Zhongdian, I will always be able to go on foot to enjoy the blue sky, white clouds. Her warm inviting us to participate in their "Daihoji" two-day journey on foot, we did not take place because time is not very large. Sorry! Meet next year, see Lhasa.
