To chase the golden autumn
Hulunbuir is a very temporary decision
The most important thing about coming to Hulunbuir is that as a person who grew up in the south, and whose activity radius is around Jiangxi, my understanding of golden autumn only exists in texts and various literary works.
But in the end I decided to come to Hulunbuir because of the Ergun River on the route.
Chi Zijian's "Right Bank of the Ergun River" talks about the cycle of life and its cessation.
The story of Ukelengli, the life of reindeer, the mysterious shaman, the Evenki people walking down the mountain...
On the way, we also saw the Morgele River described by Lao She. The Morgler River flows quietly and calmly...
Beside these two rivers, I was thinking that the passage of life is like a rushing river, with twists and turns but no turning back.
A few years ago, they gave birth to countless lives, and they also witnessed the passing of countless lives. Today we stand beside them, and eventually... they will rush forward and watch us pass away...
I went to see the reindeer and chatted with the man in charge of recreation and breeding at the reindeer park. When I was leaving, the man said: Girl, even if you speak Mandarin and you don’t say you are a southern girl, I wouldn’t even think you are from the south. She is gentle, speaks softly, and has an open personality, so she is very attractive to people. In Ergun, I seem to be more able to feel the shock of nature, the weight of life, and people's enthusiasm for life.
