"No matter how bad your current situation is, you must remember to choose a hot life." Recently, I read this sentence in a book, and I couldn't help but start thinking, what does a hot life look like? hot? candid? Or happy? But I think what a hot life should have is true love. For example, a beloved partner, a beloved book, or a beloved place. And Lugu Lake is the place where I hide my deepest love.

This love for it comes purely because it is so close to my hometown. When I was a child, the distance between me and Lugu Lake was a six-hour drive. I heard that at that time, I would go around the mountains and villages before reaching Lugu Lake, so Lugu Lake became a distant place that I longed to reach. Growing up, the distance between me and Lugu Lake was 40 minutes’ drive. A secondary road divided the village where I grew up in half, and also shortened the distance between me and Lugu Lake. I could reach Lugu Lake in just a short nap.

Nowadays, Lugu Lake has become the scenery at the doorstep of my home. In my free days, I go for a walk around Lugu Lake, and my life is beautiful and enjoyable. In summer, the birch trees on both sides of the secondary road are lush and green, and the beauty of summer is everywhere. The wind blew, and the dense leaves made a sweet sound. In a daze, the image of a small forest began to appear in my mind. It turns out that the only difference between me and the beauty of the small forest is Lugu Lake. But now, the distance to Lugu Lake is getting closer, and the beauty of the small forest has also become very close.

While taking a nap, the blue sky and white clouds of Lugu Lake appeared in front of me. The pig trough boats slowly rowed across the lake. The entire lake was like a blue drawing board, and the pig trough boats on the lake were the paintbrushes, held by the hard-working Mosuo people. The brush in the painting depicts the cool summer scenery of Lugu Lake on the drawing board. The boat drags its long tail, painting the most beautiful appearance of Lugu Lake.

Around the lake, it is not uncommon to see Mosuo children. Compared with the county town, it is easier to distinguish Mosuo children on the banks of Lugu Lake because most of them like to wear Mosuo clothes. It seems that Mosuo clothing brings them a sense of security. Gorgeous, simple, new, old-fashioned... no matter which one, I can't help but squint my eyes again and capture the beauty of this moment with the lens.
