Car driving on the lake road, along the way sunny. Lake, no wind, a small island seat quietly stand in the lake. Green lake reflected upside the island, but also reflected upside the blue sky white clouds. Sierra Leone stands towering in the distance, a white clouds hid its true face.
Legend, Gehm goddess and post-rendezvous in the woods Long forgotten dawn, jealousy of the gods in order to punish them, after the dragon will become the Lion Rock, Gorm, the goddess of tears into the lake, after Long gave Georgia el pearl into the lake island. So, Mosuo boy when they are married in the walk must be the woman to leave home before dawn.
Ten in the morning the car to the Yunnan fell into the sea. Compared to the town to Lugu Lake, Sichuan, there was a different story: row upon row of various stores, Yourenruzhi. Gently tapping the banks of the lake, a row of weeping willows to Rourou branches down to the water, with the lake the waves, undulating seaweed spend playing with each other. Pier cries one after another, just off the boat or car during shuttle tourists crowded.
Had heard the story of Helen and big wolf, this time to falling into the water first thought is to big wolf bar to sit.
Seagoing vessel is a highly educated college students, how could it be willing to come, from the downtown of Guangzhou was still a fairly remote village, and and big wolf so no one Mosuo educated young man to live together. This is true? She live right?
Think of the way, big wolf bar is at hand. Ancient Mu Lengfang sub-containing floor windows, windows within the stone bar, after leveling made by a simple wooden tables and chairs, columns hanging clusters of corn and Echinacea. Wooden wine cooler decorated with a variety of coffee and wine. Combination of modern and ancient have become the standard "petty bourgeoisie."
Into the door, he saw a beautiful woman sitting in the window fashion reading, quiet and relaxed. "I ask Helen?" I gently approached her. "I am" This beautiful woman smiled gently. I was shocked. Did not think living in the Lugu Lake Helen for so long the city is still so full of atmosphere. I am excited to invite Helen and I sit down to chat and watch Helen fullness of the Body and face sweet smile, do not ask, one to see that she was happy.
Gradually the bar to the guests, Helen Mangqu. I asked for a cup of coffee, sitting quietly by the window looking out the window rippling blue waves of the lake. Stood next to the shelves of many newspapers, books and notebooks to hand, turn the newspaper, found that these are all a few years ago reported that the wolf story of Helen and large newspapers. Mosuo marry when the young female college student was convicted by a good story of dozens of newspapers widely spread. readily remove a thin reading, before we know Their story is really that original and moving.
Helen in 1989 and later graduated from a university in Beijing to Guangzhou entrepreneurship, and acquainted with her ex-husband, happily married, there is a lovely child. But only for a few years later breakdown of marital relations, Helen and friends come to Lugu Lake relax. on board, big wolf on Helen love at first sight, the courage to propose and Helen walking marriage. "recognized only a few days to live together", and Guangzhou to Helen is obviously not yet have this way of thinking. In the water there to live for several days, watching the gracious great wolf - heart children are passing a while ripples of love, however, has been "hesitant" and Helen was decided upon by the Lijiang to Zhongdian. In Lijiang, Helen fill our minds with all the big wolf's shadow. Instigation of friends, Helen returned to the water there. Two people who love hugging together. Since then, Helen stayed on, and large wolf with the mountains cutting wood, the next lake boating, hard labor, the two's love was deeper. A few months later, "walking marriage," the success of Helen with a big wolf back to Guangzhou, and Guangzhou, the big wolf looked for a job. But the wolf is still lingering a beautiful Lugu Lake River. Both men so they both returned to the Lugu Lake, and has played a big wolf open bar, built Mosuo cultural centers, business quite the rage.
Helen and big wolf looked busy, and my heart made a deep envy. A better life need people to pursue, while the dedicated people who will have such a happy life? It seems God Helen large wolf and really do not thin. For large number of people moving story of the wolf and Helen came, they all left their own impression. Bookshelves stood dozens of laptops, big wolf come here all the friends who could not help bar message. These messages in English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, what language are. Are mostly written by Helen blessing and large wolf, blessed friend, blessed love, but also tell their own stories, love -----?/span>
It appears that the pursuit of happiness there is no national boundaries. In this materialistic age, when people have branded the love of money, status,
Reputation of the mark, the Lugu Lake River on the feelings of attachment, holy, also has much greater group of rare.
Can not help my friends and I shook hands with the message of this hand-left "Lugu Lake ---- perfect combination of reality and the ideal place", but also left us deeply touched and sentimentally attached to.
Waved goodbye to big wolf bar. We deeply wish Helen and all of them because of love, and with happiness.
