Chen Xing was not very interested in chatting, but that was not the case with Yinsmeier Wang. He had been speaking English to his translator every day since he arrived in Tibet. It was not easy for him to meet a stranger who spoke English fluently. His desire to communicate was Soaring, with a constant smile on his face.
"Xing, Tibet is really amazing. This is the place closest to heaven on earth. I participated in a local party in Naqu last night, which was cool."
"Really?" Chen Xing said,
“Are you here just to take pictures of how the locals live?”
"Yes, it is really not easy to live in such a high-altitude area. They have evolved a lot of unique culture and folk customs, and they have been developing in a beneficial direction for thousands of years. This seems difficult to us, so I I contacted a few friends who also love Tibetan culture and came to Tibet to record the program."
"It must be interesting." Chen Xing said. Just like he was going to participate in someone else's investigation mission in Linzhi this time, Insmail Wang's work also allowed him to travel all over Tibet and travel around the mountains and rivers without any pressure.
Insmeier thought of the scenery he saw after arriving in Tibet, and said, "It's really interesting. The scenery in Tibet is so beautiful, the people are very simple, and even the food is not as difficult as I thought before." Eat it, it’s very delicious.”
"Do you remember what the dish is?" Chen Xing was curious. Tibetan food? Are you talking about tsampa that doesn’t taste good but tastes good, or are you talking about tsampa, milk pimples, and other dairy products?
"Nutty and spicy grilled fish, sour shredded vegetables and pork, boiled yak meat..." Chen Xing wanted to hear what he had to say, but the more he listened, the more disappointed he became. This is not Tibetan food, it is all Sichuan food.
It seems that this person with some Chinese ancestry is completely a foreigner. After several generations of mixed blood, he only has the symbols of Chineseness in his eyes and hair. In addition, his culture and appearance are all Western-style.
"Do sociologists study everywhere like you?" Chen Xing wanted to ask if he played and traveled everywhere like him, but it was not good to ask directly, so he took a roundabout way.
"Yes, sociology is a very important research direction. If you want to think and analyze this society, you must study the society in which you live. To do this, you must go deep into the crowd. , I have also been to Somalia, India, Myanmar and other countries, but my favorite now is China."
"Why?"
"This is my first time coming to China. I like the prosperity of China very much. This prosperity is not the result of oppression, and the people living here are also very safe. They don't often encounter shootings and robberies. , plus there are people like Tibetans and such scenery, so I like it very much." Chen Xing smiled and said: "If you want to live in China for a long time, I welcome you." After all, he is a scholar, and there are no black people. Despite his pedigree, Chen Xing still welcomes him to contribute to China.
"So I'm working hard to learn Chinese." Yinsmeier is not a talkative person, but he always has a desire to talk after meeting Chen Xing. In addition, Chen Xing speaks English very well, which makes him even happier. They chatted for a long time, and it wasn't until the car arrived at the stop that they separated and exchanged contact information with each other.
Chen Xing also felt that it was not a loss. He learned a lot about things from Insmeier, such as the environment in Southeast Asian countries, the environment in the United States, the environment in Europe, etc.
Because Yinsmeier has some Asian blood, his research direction is Asia. At only 29 years old, he has been to more than a dozen countries in Europe and Asia. His travel experience is not comparable to that of a novice traveler like Chen Xing. Professor Gave him a lot of experience.
Thinking of the Southeast Asia described by Insmeier, Chen Xing took a breath. Except for a few countries where you can visit, dogs don’t go anywhere else because the chances of something happening are too high.
The group of people introduced by Tao Tianyu lived in a hotel in Linzhi and usually worked in the Linzhi Land and Resources Office. The bureau dedicated an office for them to use.
Chen Xing contacted them on the train and now took the bus to the Resources Bureau. An employee stood downstairs to pick up Chen Xing.
Seeing Chen Xing coming, the man put away his phone and asked, "Mr. Chen Xing?"
"It's me, hello."
"Hello, hello!" He had been waiting for half an hour. If Chen Xing didn't come, he wanted to go back upstairs to sit and rest.
"My name is Lu Huaqiang, from Deyang. I heard someone said that you are also from Sichuan Province, right?"
"Well, Sweet City in Sichuan Province." Lu Huaqiang took Chen Xing upstairs and said, "We have two groups here this time. Except for the four of us who work in the industry, the others have gone out to take potential photos. If If you want to visit that county, just tell us and we can send you there tomorrow."
"Have you finished your inspection on August 1st?"
"It's been finished. There were more than 20 people when we first came here. We finished it in the Bayi area in one day." The office given to them by the Natural Resources Bureau is on the third floor. The floors here are generally shorter. This building only has a total of four floors. On the left side of the third floor are the offices of the deputy director and director, and upstairs are large conference rooms and so on.
Lu Huaqiang took Chen Xing to the right. He said to the first office: "This is the local leader in charge of the third adjustment. The second office is the temporary third adjustment office. We will work in it." When he arrived at the second door, , he knocked and pushed the door open.
It was filled with smoke, and they were all old smokers. The leader was a lean man in his forties.
"Are you Chen Xing? I watched your videos and photos this morning. They were really good."
"Hello." They are all from Sichuan Province, and everyone quickly became familiar with each other. The lean man is the section chief who leads the team, his surname is Zhou, Zhou Xiulong.
"Every group of three of us are assigned to the place, two field workers and one local driver. I will show you the map to see where you want to go." They have very accurate maps on their computers. Please zoom in. They all look like lines of various colors. After zooming out, you can even see how wide the land in a house is.
This is not a street view, but a satellite image zoom directly used. This was the first time for Chen Xing to see such a high-definition map in China.
He walked to Section Chief Zhou's computer and started looking at it. He didn't say where he was going, but just asked: "Did you make these maps yourself?"
"The local government flew it with a drone, and Linzhi's shot was pretty good." He asked Chen Xing to take a look. After Chen Xing sat down, he asked, "Did you take the shot?" Chen Xing was startled. Asked: "Can't we take pictures?"
"No, the land numbered 09 is a special land. We have already done the mold lake processing. It will be fine if you take pictures. I was just wondering why I didn't see your filming equipment."
"Oh, a miniature camera. After all, it's not convenient to carry a big camera while traveling."
"That's true." Section Chief Zhou nodded. The hair on Chen Xing's hands grew cold, and he thought to himself that after going out, he should buy a small action camera. It didn't matter how many pixels he had.
Don't be caught with a camera on your head again.
