(On a talk show popular with animals, the host foolishly prepared to start this issue of "Tell the truth" program. The big silly village is tall and weak, and always likes to lip-synch and show off knowledge, but it may not be. )
Silly: Hi! Hello everyone! Today's "Tell the truth" program is about to begin. Let's talk about digression first. What did I hear? Quot CCTV's Cui Yongyuan also made an interview program called "Tell the truth". They are really thick-skinned, shouting sky-high intellectual property rights, patents and so on. Our animal's "telling the truth" has a history of one hundred years, but today it was taken away by Xiao Cui. It's really irritating! Alas! There is no copyright agreement or treaty between animal kingdom and human beings. There's nothing we can do about him. If it was the former United States, I don't know if it would bomb the embassy and crash the plane, or it would "refuse the visa"! Anyway, there is something special about our program today. I invited the oldest person in the animal kingdom to talk about his lifestyle. As we all know, human beings are getting more and more greedy now, and many of our brothers and sisters are extinct. How to keep our life and adapt to the new environment has become a hot topic now. In addition, introduce our audience: the white hat on the left is a bird audience, the black hat in the middle is a mammal, and the yellow hat on the right is an insect and reptile team. All right! Please welcome our protagonist to the scene with warm applause!
(At the suggestion of Big Ben, the audience applauded warmly. All the animals' eyes are fixed on the entrance on the left side of the performance stage, and everyone is eagerly looking forward to the unknown longevity. However, after a quarter of an hour, there was nothing at the entrance and it was still empty ... everyone was a little worried. This, big and stupid also see it. )
Silly: I'm a little embarrassed to say it. This gentleman is a little late because he is old and seldom moves. Please forgive me!
For a long time, an old gentleman finally came out from behind the curtain at the entrance and saw his gray hair and three long beards fluttering under his cheeks. He almost bent 90 degrees because he had a big shell on his back. This thing is not light. He is leaning on a dragon crutch, wearing a square towel and a pair of Phnom Penh brushed glasses. The old man looked around and swayed on the stage.
Idiot: ouch! Mr Kameda, welcome! You're giving us a hard time. How have you been recently?
Kameda: Thanks to you, it's all right!
Benben: Sir, we invited you here today mainly to ask you the secret of longevity. You see, you and Grandpa Dinosaur are brothers, you are the uncle of mammoths, and of course you are the ancestors of our birds and mammals. You have lived on the earth for so many years and experienced so many disasters, but you have always survived. And your brothers and sisters, dead and dead, changed and changed, only a few left in the world, so we especially want to know what your trick is. Of course, everyone wants to live forever!
Kameda: Hmm! Hmm! There's nothing mysterious about it. I looked at the lovely children and their bright smiling faces, and I couldn't help but feel surge of emotion. My nephew! You see, tens of millions of years ago, I was as lively as them and loved sports as much. However, the earth at that time was completely different from now! At that time, there were either glaciers everywhere or swamps everywhere. The climate has not changed much. My eldest brother dinosaur grew up in a warm and humid swamp, which lasted for thousands of years. In these thousands of years, they have grown fatter and fatter, and they have become more and more adapted to their living environment. What about me? Because I am young, anyone can bully me, so I keep moving and looking at different environments. There are volcanoes, deserts, swamps, forests, grasslands and ice fields. These places have left my footprints. And my eldest brother dinosaur, because there is no enemy, he has not changed. Until one day ... (Speaking of this, the old man choked, leaving two lines of old tears. )
Kameda: Until one day, suddenly an asteroid hit the earth. Its dust has covered the earth for thousands of years. My big brother dinosaur wants to use his huge body to fight against the change of environment. Who knows, the dust blocked the sun, and the plants on the earth withered one after another. My eldest brother ran out of food, was not good at migration, could not adapt to the environment, and gradually became extinct. ...
Benben: What a tragedy! But how did you get through the difficulties?
Kameda: Me! Because I am used to traveling everywhere, I know what I need. Besides, I am constantly changing myself, and I have never been so stubborn and self-righteous as my eldest brother. In order to survive, I keep shrinking to adapt to the lack of food. In addition, I also changed my diet. I used to eat some ferns, but after the big bang, there were fewer ferns, so I lived by eating some moss growing in dark places. And my living environment has changed from open air to caves and ditches. In this way, after millions of years, my body and habits have changed significantly. Now, my goal is to change with constancy. Human beings are extremely greedy and ferocious creatures. They not only slaughter different kinds, but also slaughter the same kind. They invented all kinds of deadly weapons, which can destroy the world dozens of times. Now it seems that the planet we live on is becoming more and more unsafe. Of course, we animals can't sit still, but we must be patient. I firmly believe that mankind will eventually perish because of greed and arrogance. However, the earth will exist for a longer time, and perhaps after the extinction of mankind, the earth will truly become our paradise.
After a long silence, the audience burst into thunderous applause ...
Silly: The old man's words enlightened us. Perhaps, adapting to the environment is more important than unnecessary challenges. This may be the secret of longevity for the elderly! All right! This episode of "Tell the truth" ends here. See you next time!
Enlightenment of mountaineering
The Lingshan Mountain in the western suburbs of Beijing has beautiful scenery and is a good place for people to spend the summer. Many tourists come here to play every summer. The main peak of Lingshan is 2030 meters above sea level, which is higher than Taishan, Huashan, Hengshan and Hengshan among the five mountains. It is also the highest peak in Beijing. The main peak of Lingshan is east-west, with steep south side and complex terrain. There are not only uncultivated virgin forest areas at the foot of the mountain, but also temperate grassland topography on the mountainside. When approaching the top of the mountain, there are many rugged rocks and cliffs, which is very unfavorable for climbing. Relatively speaking, the northern part of the mountain is relatively flat, without ups and downs, and a cable car is specially installed, so people are often willing to be familiar with it and enjoy the past along the route of tourism development.
However, in July, my good friend Zhang Hua and I chose a different way to climb the mountain. We came to Lingshan not for fun, nor for summer, but for a pure purpose-hiking, both to test our will and to compete.
Zhang Hua and I grew up in Beijing, and we often see magnificent mountains on TV. Of course, we also visited several nameless hills with our parents. As for visiting famous mountains and rivers with a tour group, it always feels like taking an assembly line: gather first, and then use a special car to pull everyone around. Stop here for ten minutes and rest there for an hour. As for the difficult places, there is always a guide in front and a security guard behind, and there is no strength to get on and off the cable car. Yes, such a trip is no longer safe, but I think there is always something missing. We're just hanging out in a greenhouse designed by others. Didn't this tour lose its flavor?
Therefore, Zhang Hua and I are determined to walk to the end with our own steps. But after all, this is the first time, and we are still uneasy.
The trip has begun. It was easy at first, because there was an ancient road handed down from the Ming Dynasty at the foot of Lingshan. Later generations can walk with a little repair. However, before we walked a third, the path was gone. I only see weeds and jagged trees, and I don't know how to get there. No way, we have to cut through the thorns and find our own way out according to the direction.
At this time, my heart began to whisper, are we too risky? There is a good cable car. Why do you always make noise in this forest? I turned to look at Zhang Hua. He looked depressed, but I thought about the reason why I came and had to stick to it.
Fortunately, the forest is not very dense, and we finally came to a hill. We thought the main peak of Lingshan was in front of us, but when we climbed the mountain, we found that there were many other peaks. One mountain is higher than the other! Zhang Hua is a little discouraged. He pursed his lips and said, "If I had known this, the devil would have come! How nice it is to take the cable car! " I shook my head and said, "We are not here to play, but to exercise. Go! " So we continued our journey.
I don't know how long I've been gone. I just feel that the sun is getting more and more poisonous and my body is like a heavy rain. The soles of your feet are starting to hurt, too. It must be blistering. But the main peak still has no shadow. This time we walked along a dry stream in the valley. Because when we came, we heard from the local people that we could definitely reach the main peak along a stream. However, we also heard them say that there may be snakes in the wet place near the stream! This is terrible. We walked in fear and looked around for fear that a big snake would suddenly appear. Zhang Hua is more nervous. Finally, both of us couldn't stand it. One picked up a stick and knocked it, just like a vendor, thinking that the little snake would be scared away by us.
The little snake didn't come to visit us at last, and we soon heard the sound of water-we finally found the stream to guide us. We rushed forward refreshed and happily, and soon rushed out of the jungle and came to the foot of the main peak.
At the foot of the main peak, we looked up at it stupidly. The mountain is so high and the slope is so steep. In some places, the slope is sixty or seventy degrees. What can we do? Besides, we are exhausted, and we have run out of dry food and water. At this time, we are faced with two choices, either continue to work hard to climb up, or go around to the north along the road at the foot of the mountain. The road to the north is gentle and there is no danger. We had a rest. Zhang Hua said he didn't want to climb any more, so we booked a competition: Zhang Hua climbed around the back of the mountain along the path, and I attacked head-on to see who climbed to the top first!
The game has started. I started a real "climbing mountain" with both hands and feet. Without company, the mountain is so steep that I dare not look at my feet. I feel extremely lonely and a little scared. Look up there. Although it is only a few tens of meters, every step is so difficult. These tens of meters are even longer than one kilometer. Just when I was at a loss in all aspects, suddenly, I found a mass of cow dung and a foot pit under my feet, which seemed to be left by a mountaineer before. Now I'm so excited. "Even the cows dare to come to this place. What can't I do? Besides, someone has already taken this road! " This time, I was full of confidence, uprooted the grass roots, climbed the boulder, avoided the thorns, crossed the bumps, and finally came to the main peak of Lingshan.
There are few people on the main peak of Lingshan, and a girl is looking around leisurely. She must be a tourist who came up by cable car. She was taken aback when she saw me coming out of the rock in rags. Stuttering, "really ... did you climb from the south?" I proudly said, "Yes."
"How long did it take you?"
"Seven hours."
"Oh ..." The girl nodded thoughtfully and walked slowly down the hill.
I have never felt this kind of mood. Is it joy or loss? Still unspeakable sadness? Zhang Hua is still walking slowly at the foot of the mountain. I won the game. But what about the heroes who tried to conquer nature but failed? In order to conquer Taklimakan, Yu Chunshun gave his precious life. However, he is a tough guy! It turns out that conquering the desert is to show the greatness of human nature in front of nature and the sublimity of human nature that difficulties can't conquer: I fight against nature with my original face. It's like a duel. Both sides appear independently? Quot kit kat is fair. If you avoid the weight, you can avoid it, such as GPS and long-acting protein. Will you bring it? What's the difference between this and climbing a mountain by cable car? You can easily drive across the desert? Perhaps the significance of exploration lies in exercising the will. After all, death is everyone's destination. Only those who can face death without losing their true colors are capitalized!
Behind failure and success
There is no doubt that people choose the Taklimakan desert as the target of exploration. Apart from being a desert that few humans have not conquered on foot, it is more important to test their will and endurance, as well as their composure and wit in the face of difficulties. There are not a few pioneers in the world who gave their lives to conquer nature, and some people are even one step away from victory. Yu Chunshun is one of them. However, we can't judge heroes by the success or failure of exploration and conquest. Although Kara was successful and courageous, they were not at the same starting line after all. So there is no simple comparison between Kara's behavior and Yu Chunshun's behavior.
Yu Chunshun chose to cross the desert in May and June, not on impulse or carelessness. Even a person with simple common sense knows that there are not only sandstorms in the desert in summer, but also the stinging sunshine is much stronger than in winter. As an explorer, it is even more impossible for Yu Chunshun not to have made an investigation beforehand. Although there is no first-hand information about Yu Chunshun's motivation, we can be sure that Yu Chunshun's choice to cross the "sea of death" at the most difficult time must mean challenging himself, and reaching the finish line is not the only goal.
On the other hand, Carla considered her gender, age and physical strength. So she chose winter, equipped with advanced facilities such as satellite phones and locators, and applied long-acting protein. All this is understandable. After all, she became the first person to cross Taklimakan. In the absence of good physical conditions, she used human scientific and technological achievements to achieve her goals. She is clever and brave. After all, a person traveling in the desert for 20 days is not something ordinary people can do.
But look carefully, Carla's psychological pressure is much smaller than Yu Chunshun's. For adventure sports, just like sports competitions, a slight gap is the reason why the results are quite different. Carla won't have a sense of crisis, because she can always know her position and talk to anyone. She doesn't have to worry about food and heating, so as long as there are no wild animals and no accidents, she can cope. Yu Chunshun, however, braved the scorching sun with limited water and food and completed the trip within the specified time. A person's load is fixed, so you can't carry too much. In addition, the most terrible thing is psychological quality. Crossing the desert with a compass will inevitably lead to an emergency. It is very difficult to stay awake and make rational judgments when in danger. Yu Chunshun's lack of equipment doomed him to make this judgment constantly. Once a link goes wrong, it will cause a chain reaction, even beyond redemption.
A careful analysis of these two cases shows that Yu Chunshun's spirit of pursuing self-transcendence deserves our admiration, but there is no denying that he failed. There may be many reasons for failure, but I'm afraid one of them should be insufficient preparation in advance. He fell 4 kilometers away from the base camp 1.4, which shows that he was lost. Besides, experts believe that he is threatened by hunger and heat. This shows that he hasn't worked hard enough in determining the direction. Genghis Khan once said: "You can't be too cautious for 10,000 times, and you will die if you neglect it once." This is a lesson that we must learn from the case of Yu Chunshun.
The Kara case proves to us the importance of careful preparation and use of tools. Her home? Quot "Don't challenge nature … conform to nature" is to study the characteristics of nature and use tools to take appropriate actions according to these characteristics to achieve the goal. As the saying goes, "Don't fight an unprepared battle", systematic research in advance should occupy the same weight as exploration itself in the whole exploration activity. The system analysis beforehand is very complicated, so it must be as accurate as possible. Sometimes, you even need considerable professional knowledge. Here also reflects the so-called "knowledge" and "behavior" relationship. Adventure athletes should achieve "unity of knowledge and action". We should try to combine theory with practice. The use of new tools is more important in contemporary society, because with the development of science and technology, the research of various equipment has been rapidly improved, and even its updating speed has exceeded our expectations. In order to make use of inexhaustible advanced technologies and better adapt to our own conditions, we must have the necessary basic knowledge and pay constant attention to the development of these technologies. This is also a long-term task.
China's adventure sports are relatively underdeveloped in the west, probably because we lack such culture! Therefore, Yu Chunshun's brave feat deserves everyone's appreciation in China. A woman who dares to cross the desert on foot at the age of 52 like Carla is rare in the world, and her courage is admirable. But we should pay more attention to the reasons for their success and failure, and gain experience and lessons from them for reference when encountering difficulties.
Yi Zhi Xiao Ying
In college, she got excellent grades, but it doesn't matter if she got good grades. It was an era full of fantasy. Although she and her companions are both women, they do not show the fragility of women-although their physique and appearance are exquisite. They are also full of worship spirit, of course, they will not worship the so-called fleeting meteor today-their idol is a heroine among women. For her, perhaps the modern Ms. Qiu Jin, the romantic revolutionary, deserves a place in her heart. Of course, Madame Ba Du, the mistress of Louis XIV, once impressed her with her charming appearance and mechanical mind, but she told her companions frankly that even if she practiced all her life, she would never learn the perfect expression art and the ever-changing mask.
However, the romantic college era is finally over, and the former ice lotus is now in full bloom. Dreams will eventually be shattered, and innocence will gradually blur, just like water drops on the glass. The crystal world behind the window is still only hazy after water droplets evaporate. Sometimes, she also recalls Chrysler's love sadness, which makes her sisters fall in love. Yes! Sad love! Perhaps it was when she stared out of the window, or when she wandered around the street looking up at the deep windows of tall buildings and threw herself into the pale night, that nameless sadness filled my heart like smoke.
Maybe dreams are spiritual, but the real world is material. In the dream, you can fly with the wind. Above, he searches for the green void, below, the yellow spring, but in the world of mortals, you must eat first. Ironically, what people despise most is the so-called "living to eat rice", but living must eat rice. She thought it was so funny and absurd. But she can only do as the Romans do, because there are no nobles in this world, and nobles have long been overthrown by civilians or mobs; There are many nouveau riche in this world, but she has no chance and disdain to associate with them. Therefore, the result of all reasoning is: work.
She likes work, but hates those boring and routine jobs. However, it was sad for her to be assigned to work in an office at the end of the century. The salary is generous, the work is relatively stable, and the holiday treatment is considerable. These, for many people, are years of dreams. She ... feels disloyal in the face of this seemingly quiet but lifeless environment. "authority! Organ! " What was the meaning of this word in China in the 2nd/kloc-0th century? She is new here and hasn't fallen into that complicated network yet. However, careful, she can distinguish the deep rift between etiquette and politeness. She hates her roommates and avoids them. Now, she faces a choice.
The job she expects is just reading newspapers and typing a few notices on her desk every day. She really doesn't understand why such a job still needs graduates from famous universities, one in a hundred. Day after day, she felt as if she had experienced ten years of life in just two months. Am I old? She often asks herself this question. Two months ago, I was full of joy and fantasy. Now, I am in the same place and at the same time every day, repeating the same work. Do you want to live like this all your life? She dare not think.
Her colleagues are also her elders, attractive sisters or aunts. She is often stunned by the sweet words and diplomatic skills of this lovely elder sister. This sharp-tongued, pungent and funny elder sister can get in and out freely in the male world of the office. She was able to gently turn around between the director and the deputy director, which made them very happy. Of course, they are willing to do what they ask her. She can't help but think of the old saying, "Be strong with softness, and be strong with weakness."
This enthusiastic elder sister is also very concerned about her. Of course, she was the first to entertain her. After all, her arrival prevented a unique situation in the office. Big sister is also protected from being the target of public criticism forever. My sister has always regarded her as a lucky dog, because this job is really rare. Of course, this elder sister is also willing to vaguely disclose the complicated relationship in the office to her. Finally, my sister gave her one? Quot face reality and adapt to the environment. "
Yes! This is what almost every leader will say to his subordinates. But in her case, it is time to seriously reflect on this sentence.
Repetitive work, every high school graduate does well; Standing in a complex network only means protecting yourself and getting a piece of the action. As for enterprising, it is promotion in this unit, but the measure of promotion is not performance, but seniority. Qualifications are acquired at the cost of life. While wasting my life, I didn't learn technology, only learned the world. The so-called adaptation to the environment is probably to learn these ways of the world! But out of this small office, the vast world outside can't be decomposed by human feelings alone. Perhaps, the adaptation environment here is to give up yourself and make yourself similar to others! After all, this is not her wish.
……
A month later, the southbound train flew past the window, reflecting the small shadow of a girl's cheek in meditation. Is that her?
