After a lot of trouble, I finally sent the newly purchased car back to Xuzhou and got the license plate from my hometown.
Although heroes don’t ask where they come from.
But people should never forget where they come from.
It takes some time to resign.
But I'm a little confused about where to go.
At almost 30 years old, it’s always hard to take a trip at the drop of a hat.
Fortunately, in this era, there is a universal circle of friends.
So pack your bags.
Things that you can’t figure out at home, you’ll always have time to think about on the road.
When people are confused, they always have to find their original intention.
And my original intention is where I started pursuing my dreams:
The small town that once participated in the Western Plan service: Ningxia-Zhongning.
Went to Xinbao Town where we had been struggling for a year.
Everyone I know has gone their separate ways.
The familiar dormitory has also been transformed.
Although it is a bit sad that things are different and people are different, after all, the lives of the people we serve are getting better and better.
There is also a little bit of pride and pride.
Of course, there is also the small courtyard and the cute children in the small courtyard.
Although four years have passed, we are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
But when I stepped into the courtyard and heard Li Wanwan saying "brother" with a strong Zhongning accent, I felt like I was back home.
The sun sets. I have arrived at my second home in life.
I ate the casserole noodles that I couldn’t finish when I arrived in Zhongning, and I couldn’t finish them in less than two months.
I also passed by the gym where I applied for a card to take a shower, but the owner and his sister-in-law ran away.
Finally on the way to Wuwei.
Met an old man.
The uncle rode his car, which was covered with tape everywhere, and talked about life with me.
He said that although his bike was not very fast. But you can also take him where he wants to go.
Reminds me of the sentence on the team's uniform back then, "When the heart travels far, the car will follow."
China’s ancient wisdom seems to be hidden in the stories of the humble old man on the roadside.
Exit Wuwei and enter Zhangye.
Everything felt familiar.
Four years ago, I drove to Qinghai Lake and didn’t try Sun Kee’s Fried Crackers here, which I don’t know why.
This time I made up for the regret.
Zhangye was called Ganzhou in ancient times. It is the second city in the Hexi Corridor after Wuwei. Speaking of Zhangye, everyone may not be very familiar with it. But speaking of colorful Danxia. I believe you must have seen it on various guides.
Jinchang.
It is the city that feels most northwest-like to me since I came to the northwest.
After Zhangye and further to the west, there is Jiuquan.
Jiuquan is an interesting city.
Maybe many people go to the satellite launch base in Jiuquan.
Jiuquan is very close to Jiayuguan.
When I arrived in Jiayuguan, I found a restaurant owned by a fellow from Xuzhou who had eaten steamed buns back then, but it had already closed.
I want to eat the barbecue restaurant in my memory, but I forgot the name.
So I asked many locals. Same description. But he pointed me to three different places.
So I went to Datang Food Street. Build the market. Revitalize the market. But neither.
Just when I was frustrated and pulled over to ask again, I looked up and found that I was already at the intersection of Fuqiang Market.
Although I really want to drink a glass of Jiayuguan's local Hanwuyu at this time, I also want to experience a handful of Xifeng liquor from the ancient road 2,000 years ago.
But as a good young man who abides by the law.
Only ordered a handful of lamb. Served with a bottle of fruit beer and a glass of apricot peel water.
Wine, save it for the story.
After passing Jiayuguan, go to Yumen.
Rain has begun to spread over the Gobi.
Speaking of Yumen, everyone may think of "the spring breeze does not pass through Yumen Pass".
But in fact, Yumen City has little to do with the Yumen Pass you know.
There are two famous Yumenguan ruins now. One is near the Jiayuguan Cantilever Great Wall.
Another one is the Xiaofangcheng ruins near Dunhuang.
Yumen City is the number one petroleum city in China.
It is the first place in China to produce oil.
It is also the place where Iron Man King Jinxi fought.
But with the depletion of oil, the old city of Yumen is turning into an empty city.
Do you want to know about houses with an average price of 200 yuan per square meter?
Here I lament about navigation.
Because of temporary road construction. Navigation started to navigate randomly.
I saw that the highway was close at hand, but far away in the distance.
It can only leave stubborn rut marks on the vast Gobi desert.
It really echoes what Mr. Lu Xun said: "In fact, there is no road on the ground. When there are more people walking on it, it becomes a road."
One operation was as fierce as a tiger's. At first glance, the speed is 25.
Anyway, luckily, I made it to Dunhuang before dark.
In fact, the most interesting thing on the road is the unknown.
If you follow the path arranged by others, the excitement of exploring the unknown will be much weaker.
I don’t need to say more about Dunhuang.
Mingsha Mountain Crescent Spring. Mogao Grottoes. Yang Guan. Yumen Pass. Yadan Devil City.
Further west is the former Western Region, Xinjiang.
"I advise you to drink a glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west."
When I read this poem again, I always feel full of desolation.
Like these two roads with zero signposts.
I have never been to the end of a road.
But I encountered countless beginnings.
So I stopped.
This glass of wine.
To all the friends in the past and in the future.
Although we have to leave Yangguan in the west.
But I still have old friends from mountains and rivers.
What's more, "there are close friends in the sea, and there are neighbors in the world."
I slept with the Milky Way on the vast Gobi Desert in the northwest.
When tomorrow's sunshine passes over the mountains
friends walking on the road
How many have woken up?
