Yangtze River

As a Chinese, we are often with great emotion stared map of China. This is a unique place on earth, accounting for a quarter of the world’s population lived in here, the descendants of China. Shaped like a rooster in the land of China, there are two rivers winding, meandering away from west to east, which is the Yellow River and Yangtze River, five thousand years has been nurturing the mother river of the Chinese nation.

Two rivers, the Yellow River is located in the north, the Yangtze River southerly location, they are respectively responsible for irrigation from the north and south China, the responsibility of the earth, saying that they are the most important of the two arteries, is not exaggerated.

When we train, across the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, whether it is when, loudspeakers are excited to inform: “Now we are about to cross is … …” and train people in an instant will be excited that people like to see the long-awaited Like their relatives, all crowded into the window there, reluctantly look ah see ah, it seems the total could not see enough.

However, when I have the impression that compared to the Yangtze to the Yellow River is really not good-looking. We have seen, most were a dying river, but similar to the Hukou Waterfall of the landscape as I am because it had never been to, so no blessing to enjoy. But what I am after the Yellow River Bridge is not small, can only see one almost every time, even on the already dried up riverbed. In addition to loess, or loess, or even the same yellow sand is similar to loess.

In contrast, the Yangtze River is a very wonderful river. In 1973 I first met her, the inner shock is indescribable gucci sunglasses , with her beauty and grace of her generosity has completely won me over.

1, the first trip to the upper reaches of

That was in 2073 with her mother back to my hometown to visit relatives in Sichuan trip. Let us first take a train along the Chengdu-Kunming Railway to Chengdu, Chengdu-Chongqing Railway Longchang then the next day they changed buses to Luzhou. In Luzhou lunch, we went by boat to his home country, this is my first close contact with the Yangtze River.

While I sat in the boat ecstatic, overjoyed, we should disembark the. From this point on, we must rely on foot to reach their final destination.

It is more difficult time of life when, Sichuan, Yunnan, appear to be more difficult than some (because it was the most populous provinces, Sichuan, Chongqing, eastern Sichuan areas when part of Sichuan.), We still did not have electricity hometown! We are a difficult mountain trek tens of miles only to the home, the mother’s gucci handbags   eldest sister eager to welcome them more than 10 miles. Several decades to meet the sisters did not meet again, both men embraced and cried, half of the day refused to separate.

My grandmother symbiotic seven sisters, my mother is the youngest in the above both his sister and also his brother, followed by a sister, but my mother and the oldest families to support on the most intimate. Boss life in Luzhou, Laoqi but with her husband to the Wanxian (now known as Wanzhou). Therefore, we Luzhou sojourn on the 7th after several rounds of press, I have lost its mother and I went to Wanxian they went.

Luzhou sat eating vessels from the moment in my life the most wonderful journey began. We took a ship is a tug, which itself contains a small amount of goods, but also contains a small number of guests. The most spectacular is its towing a long list of “tail”, from more than 10 composed of only a small wooden boat filled with goods. This is a team water rafting, as did the train before and after the Xiang Xian, tugboat in front of a locomotive role in the back of the boat from each ship’s crew to do something according to the situation with the task. Because they often have the upper and lower towing the cargo, so we always parked fleet. Most of those of us who live in the tug on the guests, and occasionally can also go behind the boat to stop for hours, but to go back to tugboat, will have to wait longer to go back to stop for hours. Because of this, our current trip it is very leisurely, so I fully appreciate the scenery along the route.

In my memory, the Yangtze River near Luzhou width than the Jinsha River is not much, but the large amount of water, since almost no barrier reef, so she did not like the Jinsha River, a number of countless rapids rapids. In such a navigable river surface, the two sides of Castle Peak form a contrast with the green water, blue sky and white clouds to phase contrast in the mountains and there are farmers in the crafts field, fruit trees and bamboo groves between the laughter echoes Fangniu Wa … … really beautiful!

Our ship was Xiashui Chuan, in the water surface of a great river walk, looks relatively easy, but appeared to be quite difficult, Sheung Shui, boats, even the marine boats go very slowly, not to mention the wooden boat. If you happen to also be a large wooden boat trip in Sheung Shui, it is simply a desperate struggle between man and nature, people here seem very small scale. I saw dozens of crew under the command of the Shaogong concerted efforts flip paddles, oars fell into the water, the splash, the scene is really extremely spectacular. Shaogong to direct everyone’s password, is a very well-known Chuanjiang chant. Ban Zhao rudder saw him, I heard yelling, other people should be together in unison, action, together with the chant complete, neat, like the one person. This spectacular scenes and we usually see on the stage performing in comparison, in addition to color and lighting a bit exaggerated, the other all that similar, or even the boatmen would you think it is a better look at some of behavior. Great to see so many rowing oars so, I thought the boat could walk up a large portion, but it looks like little ships move, feel that is not keeping back fills shows how difficult it is to move forward. At this time I really understand what is called the sail against the current, lag behind.

Since they heard on the chant Chuanjiang after, I think the people called Sichuan artificial “rat” pure incorrectly relay erroneous messages. This is the world’s most pleasant song of labor, but also the world’s most spectacular collective labors. It is precisely because the kind of Sichuan’s chant a very unique rhythm and behavior of the United States, constitute a sub-number of people in Sichuan read like a special. Sichuanese own special love of shouting chant, as long as two or more people together to do one thing, as long as it takes two to pace things tidy, they must be shouted chant. The simpler the movements, the number the less the more monotonous chant; the contrary, the chant more complex, the better to listen to. Therefore, people in Sichuan’s chant was impressed, so people called Sichuan artificial “chant.” However, this “chant” is not Peter, “rat” and is only a pity that Chinese people incorrectly relay erroneous messages in the process, always like a little derogatory, are still saying that because of this world are everywhere Sichuanese, like everywhere, everywhere, boys and rats are the same.

Another impressive thing is to drink water on board. At that time the people on board drink water directly from the river, when I saw a vat of yellow water, are thinking of how this drink, they saw the water poured into a large wooden barrel, to be filled soon When there are many who put a bamboo tube into the hole to stir stir, a short while water is clean in the. My curiosity was so young great, could not believe my eyes, I thought that the Magic of it. Mother Dao Shi-shocked, pale to tell me that bamboo is installed inside alum, as long as the alum used in the mixing and stirring, the water will soon be under the bottom sediment, the water will naturally be clarified. I tasted a clarification of water, there is no smell, and even can be said that very sweet, we can see that time of the Yangtze River, water quality is still pretty nice.

Boatmen were in the river there is a music, that is, smoothly, “fishing” fish. Each ship’s stern, usually dragging a number of fishing utensils, usually when something happens to do things, no time to look at things, chances are would have been fish, and so the day where there are fish dishes. In our trip, almost every day to eat such fish, the relatively difficult conditions of life, these fish really Jiechan ah.

The Yangtze River trip, from Luzhou board, to Chongqing disembarked to travel the tugboat. 2 days and then again from Chongqing on board, sit on large passenger ships, destined for Wanxian. Basically, be regarded as the upper reaches of the Yangtze Zouliaoyizao.

The second trip to the middle reaches

It is precisely because the first trip to beautiful Yangtze River, along the way, I spent almost all of the deck, then the impression of profound beauty of the Yangtze River; It is precisely because the first trip to the Yangtze River went Wanxian only basis, many people laugh I will pull down the best part of the Yangtze River, and that is the Three Gorges. So my mind will have a lingering feeling of the Three Gorges, the total looking for a chance to this aspiration.

Thirty years later, an opportunity to travel to Wuhan, and I tried to find a point of the subject matter of Chongqing, the Yangtze River and then straight away excitedly.

Compared to the first time off the Yangtze River, the second travel in general should be considered as luxury trip because I was sitting in first-class cabin before the Three Gorges, China’s standard of living at that time already greatly improved, and we no longer works for some very low-level the problem of food and clothing to worry about, but my feeling is very bad … very bad …

Thirty years ago, because I no longer share of luck: I no longer see the blue sky and green trees and red flowers no longer see the big wooden boat with a white sail, can not hear breathtaking shock No. Chuanjiang son, eat less than the boatmen fishing is done is fish, not only with the Yangtze River water for bathing, but can not drink the water from the Yangtze River … …

Because I see the whole surface of the river is a wide variety of large and small ships, they are in the bustling shuttle. In order to look at before the completion of the Three Gorges Dam Three Gorges, people flocked. Therefore, the ship was packed with people, the river crowded with boats, ships and boats filled the gap where a variety of dirt. It appears all of the Yangtze River shipping regarded as their large intestine, desperate to have a wide variety of waste sent there. I saw them splendidly sway in the river surface, all the way toward the downstream away, makes startling to assume that if no one of these water to intercept or refuse treatment, if the downstream people are also followed suit, if they are all along the way the situation, that it not become the end in Shanghai’s “anus”? That case is simply appalling! Such a huge amount of dirt vast and mighty, lifeless piles of drift Mitsue face, scenery down can be described as Wei as “spectacular” Unfortunately, this scenario has created a while with Chinese characteristics, “unique”, but it is disgusting nausea, and even shame shame of tolerance.

I watched the water waste, while associate to the Singapore scene. Singapore’s managers are very self-confident, very proud of their nationals, as they will be a Chinese-dominated society well managed and very clean, refreshing. Young guides to their success in promoting a special emphasis in the world where there are Chinese place, its environment is always best in the world of dirty, even inside a small home environment is clean, the door will certainly be better than not Where to go. In order to put an end to this situation, Singaporeans are still in use whipping on the pollution of the environment or harmful to the public’s bad people doing bad things, not only lessons are given in harsh penalties, but also in public flogging, a punishment.

It is undeniable that those words have hurt me like a knife like the heart, but the present situation made me doubly self-esteem and sadness. In such a river surface through the Three Gorges, where there is the leisure time to enjoy her Itsushi! Hope looked up the Three Gorges goddess look of clouds, to bow their heads see a river dirt splendidly sway, I not only could not find a shred of beauty, but hearts full of the kind of “pull pull cool cool” feeling. Because I think every one in the Yangtze River on the tourism people are bad guys, are involved in the pollution of the Yangtze River crime operations. Yes we will be the world’s most beautiful river they are now like this one, and this river has brought up the Chinese nation for thousands of years!

Ah after a lapse of only thirty years, the Yangtze River would be so tired, it be so dirty. Follow suit continues, the Yangtze River there are many years way to go? Who is the eternal flow of rivers? Accordingly, basing on the case, I do not stream many years!

Do not you see that we continue to expand in the desert, an oasis in the constantly shrinking non-stop dirty rivers, the environment is constantly changing worse?

No wonder I have heard that argument, the Yangtze and the Yellow River each other in the call: “the Yangtze River, Yangtze River, I was the Yellow River!” Cheung said: “The Yellow River, Yellow River, I am also of the Yellow River!”

If we are no longer on the map of the gucci men shoes Yangtze River, and we probably left the way the nation coming to an end, right?
