It was the spring of 1998, and many people in the office were going to see the films of 98 International Nature Film Week.
Where can I get tickets?
Looking for Xiao Xi.
How did he get the ticket?
You don't know? He is an environmentalist. When he went out to interview him, he didn't even let the air conditioner on the car open. He went to the market to buy food, but the vendor didn't give him a plastic bag. He used to shoot "Animal World", and shooting animals is more emotional than shooting people. He did not run for Yunnan golden monkey; He and his miniature schnauzer met in environmental protection activities, and they are like-minded. This film week is organized by the Nature Foundation where Mini Schnauzer works.
We took the ticket from Xiao Xi and became addicted to it with satisfaction. Later, we met Xiao Xi: Did you watch them all? Which movie do you like best?
Xiao Xi looked sorry and gave a wry smile. He took a big bag of photos in his backpack: I didn't see any, but I took photos for the seminar of film week. It will be delivered in one minute. Just then, his pager rang and he said, Oh, it's my wife. She told me that the thank-you dinner of film week was about to begin, but there was no seat for me. Why don't you come back later to deliver the photos?
Xiao Xi is not unhappy or complaining at all. He said quietly to me, I just want to talk to you. Can you make a program of nature movies?
The next day, Xiao Xiaoshi specially introduced me to the film week organized by WWF, and we were very excited about this topic. But later, this topic failed to make a program to meet the audience. Xiao Xi said with a wry smile, how can it be! Later, I saw his smile many times, and there was a helplessness behind it.
Later, I haven't seen Xiao for a long time. I heard that he went back to Yunnan to photograph his Yunnan golden monkey. Shooting a monkey is still a feeling.
1one day in the spring of 999, the writers' publishing house asked me to take some photos, saying that I specially invited a photographer. As soon as we met, everyone laughed. It turned out to be small. That day, we chased the sunset all the way and took pictures on Chang 'an Avenue. I think I'm used to walking in the mountains and taking pictures of animals. It's really difficult to take such photos in this downtown area. I wronged Xiao Xi for Xiao Xi.
That day, Xiao Xi said that he was going to be a father. Looking at his happy expectation, I blurted out: Is the child called "Xixi"? Crick, much like you two. Later, the child's real name was Xixi.
1September, 999, the four nines are rarely connected together, and there must be something good. My colleague made an appointment to go to Yunnan and asked Xiao Xi about the Yunnan expert. Xiao Xi did not hesitate to delete the scenic spots that tourists must visit at ordinary times, and added Deqin and Meili Snow Mountain.
Deqin, so strange; Meili Snow Mountain, so mysterious. If it is not led by Xiao Xi, how can we get close to it? To our surprise, Xiaoxi decided that a family of three would go with us and let Xiaoxi receive three months of high altitude adaptive training, so that she could go into the mountains with her parents in the future. At this time, Xiaoshi, a new father, has resigned from his job in Beijing, and we will set up an association to protect Yunnan golden monkey in Deqin. In my opinion, this is an amazing move, but Xiao Xi's short stories feel natural.
Delicate Xixi has curly hair and eyes like a big child. She lay peacefully and comfortably in a basket made of corn leaves, waiting to get on the plane.
Will that work? Everyone is worried.
Young father Xiao and young mother Xiao Shi said with a smile, try it. He smiled, too.
This life is only 100 days, how to experience the future journey? On the plane from Kunming to Lijiang, Xixi is ok; On the bus from Lijiang to Zhongdian, Xixi is ok; From Zhongdian to Bitahai, there is a section of road where my father holds Xixi, but Xixi is still good! But everyone is still nervous, because in front is the pass of Baima Snow Mountain, which is 4200 meters above sea level and is the pass of Xiaoxi River!
Master Zhang drove steadily, carrying Xixi, Xixi's parents and eight of our colleagues, and approached the mountain pass in fear and trembling. Xi Zhinong looked at the altimeter on his wrist and his little daughter. The oxygen bag is at hand and the tube can be opened at any time. At this time, Xixi fell asleep in her mother's arms, unaware of everything outside. Her small body is comfortably attached to her mother, and her face is safe. Three thousand nine hundred meters, four thousand meters, four thousand one hundred meters, four thousand two hundred meters! Xixi actually fell asleep at the pass, his lips were red, his face was red, and there was no mountain reaction at all!
Xiaoxi Xiaoshi breathed a sigh of relief The young father stretched out his voice from time to time and called "baby" infinitely gently-the baby seemed to know that he would follow his parents up the mountain in the future.
Everyone says Meili Snow Mountain is rare. How many people, thousands of miles away, waited for it for three days and five days, but they didn't show their true colors in the fog. As for us, it must be the luck brought by Xixi. We saw Meili Snow Mountain under the blue sky. At first, we were shocked and excited. Later, no one spoke, but quietly looked at the mountain. Only the sound of a small camera shutter and Li Na's song floated in Master Zhang's car: I saw mountains, mountains and rivers connected. ...
On the way back from the glacier, we all rode horses, only Xiao walked as usual. He was wearing short clothes and the wind was blowing under his feet. One minute he walked in front of the cavalry, the next he came back, the next he was close to us, and the next he was far away from us. He searched on the path and in the Woods without roads, and put food packaging bags, film boxes, beverage bottles and waste paper in cracks and weeds into plastic bags. He is doing all this, so naturally, just like picking it up in his own yard. At the foot of the mountain, Xiao Xi was carrying two full garbage bags. I am ashamed to ride a horse, for myself and for the people who left this rubbish. On the background of the holy Meili Snow Mountain, the small figure seems to write four words: son of nature.
In that place called Shangri-La, Xiao Xi said goodbye to us. He asked us to take care of his wife and daughter and then go back to Kunming, but he stayed to visit Weixi with the experts. There is his beloved Yunnan golden monkey in that forest. I am not without worries: how long can your savings last without stable income and project funds? Half a year. What about the baby? Fortunately, the cost of living in DeRuan is not high. We are considering establishing Yunnan Golden Monkey Protection Association as soon as possible. We solemnly bid farewell to the stream, and the miniature schnauzer held the eyes of the stream and looked at the man who was about to approach the mountain forest calmly. I think this kind of scene will be normal in their family life, in the past and in the future!
Back to Beijing from Yunnan, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and then the National Day. Our surroundings are already full of excitement. However, I often think of Yunnan and the Xixi family. Does Xiaoshi still wear T-shirts with various animals printed on them? New in the eyes of little Xixi? Did Xiao Xi and the experts find the golden monkey in the Woods of Weixi? Is it raining in the Woods? In the cabin in the forest, what did Mr. Zhao, a respectable camouflage expert, do to the novel? What kind of Le Er do they have? What are you worried about? ……
I don't know, all I know is that they focus on what they think is most valuable and stay away from all the stimuli.
