Heilongjiang
heroic spirit
When countless snowflakes were falling happily, I was bidding farewell to the last train in this city. Watching the train disappear at the end of the mountain, I unknowingly turned into a snowman, but I didn't feel cold, but a long-lost feeling suddenly surged in my heart.
As far as I can see, through the snow, I seem to have returned to the vast sky and earth of the Greater Khingan Mountains. I seem to hear the rustling fallen leaves of the birch forest, and see the smoke rising from the farmhouses in Beihong Village...
frozen river
This is Heilongjiang’s most basic respect for winter.
When the bells of Sofia Church no longer ring, Harbin, a city full of exotic customs, is no longer full of mysterious mirror images. Walking on Central Street, you feel like you are in a small European town. Every clear morning, you enjoy the delicacy of Leba and red sausage, moistened by the warmth of Sopot soup. It seems that everything around you has become gentle, and it no longer feels like subzero temperatures. It’s 38 degrees, and the whole world is frozen to a solid state.

It's all a destination
Heilongjiang in winter
covered with snow
But not desolate
Regarding the Northeast, people in Jilin feel that people from Liaoning are not from the Northeast, while people from Heilongjiang feel that people in Heilongjiang are only in the Northeast. Before going to the Northeast, my friends in Jilin told me that I didn’t know what cold was until I arrived in Harbin. Don’t underestimate the temperature difference of 5 degrees. When it goes up to 30 degrees, every degree is a painful realization.
The biggest characteristic of me is that I don’t believe in evil.
So when we arrived in Heilongjiang, it became an extreme challenge, taking off the clothes to the end.
Fuyuan
The first place to see the sunrise in mainland China
The easternmost place in China, I believe many people think of it as Dongji Island. But few people know about Heixiazi Island in Fuyuan. This is the easternmost point of mainland China, with the mighty "First Outpost in the East" and Wusu Town, a town with only one family.
On October 14, 2008, the Chinese and Russian governments held the "Unveiling Ceremony of the Boundary Stake in the Eastern Section of the China-Russia Boundary" on Heixiazi Island. Half of the much-anticipated Heixiazi Island's territory was returned to China.

Advertise here. Come to Fuyuan and find the official master. Whatever you think of, Master Guan will never let you down! The phone is pictured above.
There is also primitive and simple winter fishing here that you can’t experience in Chagan Lake!

Many people think that Arctic Village is the northernmost village in China, but this is actually the result of commercial operations. The most primitive village in the north of China, Beihong Village, is located deep in the dense forests of the Daxinganling Mountains. There was electricity here in 2013 and China Unicom signal in 2017. There is no running water or shuttle bus. If you come here in winter, you can experience the speed and passion of a car speeding on the glacier.

So this post went from a literary beginning to a solo carnival of a foot-picking man.
Regarding Northeast China, I actually still have a lot of secrets I want to know.
For example, the magnificence of Wudalianchi and the elegance of Hezhe National Cultural Village
The monsters in Tianchi of Changbai Mountain and the ladies from the Northeast who are more masculine than the men from the Northeast...
Write and draw,
When I put down the pen in my hand, it was almost dawn.
Looking out the window, I suddenly remembered a sentence:
"We cannot see all the snow that falls in a person's life."
So deep snow has accumulated in Daxinganling Mountains for a long time
Who can see it?
The sky in the east has turned white, and the fog is slowly rising.
The fog is probably the smoke from Beihong Village, or the random yellow leaves scattered in the birch forest in autumn.
Sometimes a real wisp of smoke, a faint cyan color, climbs out of the chimney on the spire of the wooden house.
There is a yard in front of the wooden house. Standing in the yard, every night, you can see the Milky Way when you look up.
If possible, I would like to have a wooden house deep in the hundreds of millions of birch trees in Daxinganling Mountains.
I want to live in that wooden house one winter.
I don't need electricity. I have some books and many candles.
There are tall firewood stacks in my yard and a blazing fire in the earthen kang.
Perhaps today and every snowy day in the future, I will think of the white snow in the Greater Khingan Mountains, the smoke from the wooden houses and the countless white birches, as if time has always been like this. Just like tonight, I am still far away.
