Issues of faith cannot be dissuaded, and since this old man is so old, he must be making a pilgrimage here this month, so he probably knows it well.
People who regard this mountain as a sacred mountain not only believe that taking a circle here can wash away their sins, but they also believe that the most perfect destination in life is to die on the way to the mountain.
Therefore, tourists have to choose the time and season when traveling to the mountains, especially to avoid the rainy season, otherwise they will feel regretful if they cannot see the sacred mountain.
But in the eyes of pilgrims, the four seasons change, no matter the time, they will always be there at the foot of this silent mountain, young and old, all living beings.
Continuing forward, Chen Xing also saw a white girl in her twenties, wearing glasses and with a delicate face.
She was also walking around the mountain step by step. Chen Xing carefully avoided her and walked forward. In front of him was the mountain pass. The fluttering prayer flags were like the finish line for athletes. It seemed that after crossing that line, life would have a new state.
But he stopped, found a good angle, and waited for the mountain climbers to come into the shot. Yes, he is waiting for someone.
The figure of the old man walking around the mountain has been lingering in his mind. Chen Xing was greatly touched by his stiff and slow movements and the piety in his eyes.
The prayer flags at Zhuola Pass are very beautiful, but the athletes are not mountain tourists like Chen Xing, but devout believers.
Chen Xing waited for them to cross the line. Soon the foreign woman entered the frame of the camera first. Her glasses were relatively large and she had to hold them up with her hands after walking for a while. Her hair was short and yellow, but it should have been stained with mud and water on the road. The edges were a little dirty. She was wearing Durable leather jacket.
If you don't wear this kind of clothes, you probably won't be able to walk more than ten miles without breaking a hole in ordinary clothes. She came alone.
Chen Xing waited patiently, waiting for the tourists around her to leave quickly, and then waiting for her to enter the best position.
Katcha. Chen Xing looked at the photo and thought that it would take a long time for the old man to come here, so he picked up the camera and chased after him, asking: "Hello, can you understand Chinese?" The foreign woman turned to the mountain. The reporter smiled at Chen Xing and nodded.
Chen Xing also smiled. She probably didn't understand and didn't know what she thought she was talking about. Chen Xing changed to English and asked again, and this time he got a response. The girl said: "I understand." Chen Xing followed her slowly and asked: "Where are you from?"
"People from Pakistan."
"Ba tie." Chen Xing said in Chinese. Unexpectedly, she actually understood. She grinned, nodded, and said in blunt Chinese: "Batie!" The woman's name was Shukri. She was no more than two years older than Chen Xing. She was the one who came to China to make the Mount Kailash tour. on a graduation trip and is a devout believer.
From her words, Chen Xing learned that there is no conflict between belief in modern science and belief in religion. Shukri's faith even helped her overcome difficulties in life and study several times, which made her determined to study hard after graduation. Come here and go around the mountain.
"It was snowing in Ali when I came here, so the weather has been better these days." Chen Xing nodded, seeing that she was about to cross the mountain pass, and then said, "I just took a picture of you, take a look. ." She stood up, tilted her head and looked at the photos in the camera.
"This is me? You took the photo really well." Shukri opened his mouth wide, looking very, no, no, surprised for at least thirty minutes.
Did you look like this just now? It just looks like a movie!
"If you like it, I'll send it to your WeChat soon... By the way, do you have WeChat?"
"No, you can send it to my email." Foreign chat software is not easy to use in China, so it seems that email is really a good way to contact me.
After confirming for the last time whether the email address was correct, Chen Xing said "Come on" to Shukri, stepped back to the roadside, and watched her figure slowly surpass the colorful prayer flags.
Like an athlete breaking that line. He discovered that having a clear belief is also a happy thing.
Returning to the previous shooting location, he could already see the old grandfather in the distance, and his son or grandson, about forty years old, walking beside him.
Occasionally people would pass by on the road, and Chen Xing would take a few photos that he thought were good. But these kind of photos are used to hone your skills. You can look at them again when you have free time. If you think they are good, they will be stored in the hard drive and will not be seen again for a few years. The others will be deleted.
When the old man and the others were about to come, Chen Xing stepped forward to talk to the Tibetan man to see if he could take a photo.
The conversation was okay at first, but when it came to taking photos, the man suddenly became wary.
"You want to take a picture of my grandpa?"
"yes."
"Our family often takes photos. You know, the older generation of Tibetans are afraid of cameras, and so is my grandfather."
"That's it." Chen Xing couldn't force it, so he said, "Forget it."
"But it doesn't mean I can't take pictures. You have to give me some money."
"..." Jiaqianjiji, is that you? Chen Xing paid him two hundred yuan, and the Tibetan man happily hid aside, trying not to appear in the camera lens.
This operation is too skillful. I am afraid this person did not do business in Namtso. Because Namtso is close to the holy city, there is an endless stream of tourists every day. They put a yak or sheep on the lakeside for tourists to take pictures, and then the locals charge a little money for taking pictures.
Although it is only a small amount of money, the combined monthly income is comparable to that of 996 programmers. No matter, just think of it as a modeling fee.
If you want a model like this outside, let alone two hundred yuan, you can’t find a suitable model even if you pay one thousand or ten thousand. It has to be in the best location, with tacit understanding and location. Ninety out of ten people will be matched. This kind of coincidence is rare.
The old man walked slowly, and Chen Xing easily waited until there was no one around him. One close-up, one wide angle.
One shows people and the other shows scenery. Kailash is just an ordinary snow-capped mountain, and its height is not the most outstanding among the surrounding mountains. But it is because of Shukri and people like the old pilgrim that it becomes more and more prominent. Only by being sacred can it become the center of countless people's hearts and the world.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Xing also crossed this mountain pass. The wind is very strong at the mountain pass. It is six o'clock, but the sun is still shining brightly up here. At this time, white clouds are floating in the blue sky, echoing the colorful prayer flags on the mountain pass.
The prayer flags fluttered in the wind and made a snapping sound, suddenly breaking the silence of the world. Chen Xing felt like his heart was torn open, and a breath of fresh air rushed in.
Difficulty breathing? there is none left. Sore waist and weak legs? No more. Standing on this mountain pass, I spread my arms, embracing the sky, embracing the air, and embracing the past life, as if this is the most important thing in life.
[Mountain trekking has become a very popular way of traveling in Tibet. Many tourists come to Tibet just to complete the mountain trekking, and then leave without seeing anything. However, they forget that there should be no destination on the journey. I missed countless scenery] [Congratulations on getting the skill: Divine Walking Taibo] [In ancient times, there were Divine Walking Taibo who walked eight hundred miles a day, but I, walking four hundred miles a day, is not a problem] Are you afraid you are trying to kill me?
Before he could finish complaining about his new skill, another message popped up on the small screen in his heart.
[Have you ever seen a person kowtow? Their faces and hands are dirty, but their hearts are very clean]
