Today is the 15th day of the sixth lunar month in Xinchou. The round moon slowly climbs up from the hillside, as if a high-wattage light bulb has been installed in the Moliugong camp, and the entire valley suddenly lights up. We didn’t have the courage to go out in the hot summer, so we set off by car at noon and walked into the mountains under the sunset. The temperature in the mountains was not high and the sun had already set. Everyone was in high spirits. We stopped and took pictures, and we arrived at the campground in less than an hour.
The camp owner's home is at the foot of the mountain, and he only goes up the mountain to operate on weekends. The camp is built with the simplest bricks and stones, covered with an iron roof. There is a large flat grassland in front of the camp, which is the place to camp. The boss has two local dogs, one of which is called "Golden Retriever" just because it really has golden hair. The puppy is very well-behaved and neither noisy nor fussy.
Before it was completely dark, we set up the tent first. It would be easy for men and women to work together. They worked together for a while and then put up the tent. The weather was really good and the stars were out. Unfortunately, it was a full moon night and we could only set up the tent. See the stars. The tent was set up and the meal was almost ready. Everyone sat around chatting about home affairs and interesting things from all over the world.
After entering the mountain, the mobile phone signal disappeared and the mobile phone became an alarm clock. I cherish this time without relying on mobile phones. Everyone sat chatting, counting stars and taking photos. The distance between people became closer. It was a sleepless night. .
I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning. The night before was the best sleep I had ever had in my camping career. The boss gave me a quilt to spread in the tent. It was a luxurious feeling that I had never tried before. After breakfast, we set off to the top of the mountain to watch the sunrise. We climbed to the top in half an hour. The mountain breeze was slightly cool. The process of waiting for the sunrise was very delicate. I was afraid that the clouds were too thick and the sun would not be able to penetrate through. I was also afraid that the clouds would disperse and there would be no golden clouds. Fortunately, It's all worth the wait...
The morning sun fills the valley, and there are only people in our team on the ridge. This is a game of light and shadow, as brilliant as lightning, as illusory as fog, with sadness and admiration. Only one classic chance encounter is no longer available. We can only try our best to frame the current situation. .
Around 2014, I got my first SLR (which I still use till now) and started to record my life. I took pictures of the second I climbed to the top, the second I won the prize, the evening lights in the harbor, the dawn on the mountain top, music dramas, poems and dances. There are a lot of things going on. Sometimes I look back at these records and find that life is not a waste.
Lufei reloaded and went up the mountain. As the leader and photography enthusiast, she packed a lot of equipment and emergency items in her backpack. Outdoor enthusiasts are born to belong to the mountains, and only in the mountains and fields can their nature be released.
Brother Cui is a Korean who has been in China for 8 years. He loves outdoor mountaineering and has climbed many more mountains than we have. This is the second time we have climbed mountains together and we are as familiar as old friends.
"My hometown is a city next to Seoul, just like Guangzhou and Foshan."
"If you have a chance, you can also experience the countryside in South Korea. It's very different from here."
"Look how beautiful this mountain is, and the sunset is also beautiful."
"Autumn in Korea is beautiful, with mountains covered with red leaves."
While walking and chatting, we reached the foot of the mountain before we knew it. It was a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
next time,
See you on the next hill
