Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is a multi-ethnic place. In this place, in addition to the familiar Guilin and Yangshuo, there is actually a well-known "the first lane in the world", and the magic here is beyond your imagination.
Seven hundred lanes in Dahua County, Guangxi, the king of deep depressions, are known as "the first lane in the world". It is a miracle that it is nearly a kilometer deep, but it is not waterlogged or dry all year round. But this miracle did not bring benefits to the Yao people. The mountains here are thin, the rocks are full of water and evil, and there is no flat land around. Every time a corn is hoed in a crack in the rock, it is the only field crop on which the Yao people depend for their livelihood. At present, there are only 13 families left in the mountains where generations have lived. Those who can move away are left behind, and those who are unwilling to leave are underage children.
Walking here is tantamount to a baptism; This is a shock to my mind. Looking at these photos so far has made me restless for a long time.
During the harvest season, an old man stayed in the corn field. It is said that it is the most extravagant harvest to harvest three or more baskets of corn a year in this place, and it is common to fail to harvest one basket in disaster years.
When asked, the old woman who lives in the cornfield knows that she is a 95-year-old woman with sunken eyes and dull eyes, but at a glance she knows that she is the kindest and purest person in the crowd, which reminds you of her mother who lives at home. But at present, the old woman is still working hard for a life with extremely low requirements, and her expression is kind and safe. So I held down the shutter and photographed her face until she walked to the cornfield.
You can't imagine such a house, but the hardworking Yao people still live there. This place is beautiful, but it is the most backward place in Nanning.
This kind of small snake can be seen everywhere in the mountains, but don't be afraid, it won't bite you unless it is provoked!
Such a beautiful place is really rare in the world. Perhaps this is the mystery of "the best place in the world".
What you can't imagine is that the Yao people buried the dead for three years, then dug up the bones of their dead relatives, put them in jars, and then found a place with good feng shui to be priests. This is the grave that stands tall and sees far.
Under the blue sky, we are all "people". Some people outside the lane are rich, while some people inside the lane are poor and haggard. Why is there such a big difference? Ask heaven, heaven is speechless; Torture the mountain road, the mountain road is silent.
That's not all the sadness. In another mountain road near Baiqi Lane, the Japanese funded the construction of a highway and conducted ecological experiments in the village, which improved the life of the Yao people. But when all the Yao people I can see with my eyes are short "stars", and even the adult males are no more than 1.6 meters tall, my heart still feels as heavy as lead. The living environment in the depression is harsh, and the Yao people are short of clothes and food and lack of nutrition. What kind of accumulation has it caused to generations of Yao people? The battle to get rid of poverty and become rich is of no help. How long and hard is the road to a well-off life?
It's midsummer, but I can't see birds flying or hear cicadas singing. A fellow professor who has experienced many vicissitudes lamented: where even birds fly away, there are still people alive. But if you don't live here, where can you settle down? Relocation and resettlement in different places is undoubtedly a shortcut to get rid of poverty and become rich, but it is easier said than done! The obstacle to getting rid of poverty lies not only in the environment, but also in the deep-rooted old ideas, which surround them and devour them like poisonous snakes. It is said that some Yao people who accepted relocation and resettlement in different places sneaked back before it was hot. To this end, the government took severe measures, blew up their earthen houses and cut off the back road, but they would rather come back to live in caves than live and work elsewhere. Year after year, what they look forward to most is that magpies climb the branches and have good luck, but they are eager for people to visit and visit frequently, so that they can get alms from others more or less. They said, if there are no tourists for a long time, why no one will realize the poor people's dream of wealth, but the great immortal dream. But Yao Renmeng is sad! People are poor and short-sighted, and the dream of making money is doomed to be in the foreseeable future.
There are still funny or touching things in the mountains and lanes, which make people think twice. On the eve of his new job in Beijing, the first greedy person in Guangxi took a group of people crowding around on the 700-mile road to the famous scenic spot "Bali Jiuwan" and said "goodbye" in a simulated way! At that time, the prime minister-trudging a hundred miles from Tancheng to the mountains-could not help crying in the face of the shocking reality of the poverty of the Yao people. One after another, honest officials once paid attention to farmers. However, after several years, poverty remains, and we can't help but have mixed feelings: being a senior official, we are insatiable. When he took bribes of tens of millions of yuan and had a good time with his mistress, do you still remember those who have not been out of poverty? A dull gunshot in the suburbs of Beijing witnessed the hypocrisy of Cheng's "goodbye". And-always concerned about the people's warmth, selflessness and determination, but still failed to solve the problem of tens of millions of people getting rid of poverty and getting rich. It can be seen that generations of governments need to fight with the people sincerely. "Apologizing to the farmers" is not only a heartfelt wish, but also the concerted action of the government.
A mountain climbing trip is unforgettable. When can I show a sweet smile in seven hundred miles? When will Yao people aspire to be "high" and be qualified to pick the golden fruit of the towering tree of Xiaokang? I am looking forward to it.
