On the third day, my friend Gong Wei called me and asked me what I was doing on the fifth day. He said that the epidemic was under control and he was wronged to death at home. Everyone wants to go out for fresh air and indulge together. He is going to organize literary friends to climb mountains and enjoy the snow in Xichagou, Qinling Mountain on the fifth day to see if I can go. Yes, very humbled. His invitation was just what I wanted. I'll promise right away. No problem, I'll attend.
On the fifth morning, I was full of expectations. At 8: 30 in the morning, I drove with some literary friends from Beishi, first on the Ring Expressway, then on the Baomao Expressway, and went to Qinling Mountains.
There were not many cars on the road, so we drove faster and arrived at our destination-Xichagou Protection Station in Qinling Mountains in Chang 'an District in an hour.
It was supposed to meet here from 10 to 10: 30, but everyone was very enthusiastic and arrived before 9: 30. When I got off the bus, I met my friend Gong Wei and exchanged a few pleasantries. Gong Wei is a talented poet, generous and enthusiastic about literature and public welfare activities. He is one of the planners and organizers of this activity. He introduced me to two other organizers, one is Jiang Qian, head of Tumen Cultural Palace Poetry Reading Art Troupe, and the other is Wei Tian, deputy head. Gong Wei thinks highly of me, saying that I am a thoughtful writer, and my articles are thick, durable and full of praise. I laughed, man. You're exaggerating. I am just a freelance writer. As soon as I turned my head, I said, you planned and organized this activity and did a lot of work. Thank you for your hard work. They said nothing, as long as everyone is happy together, we will enjoy it.
Through this activity, I have the impression that Jiang Tuan is sedate and dignified, Tian Tuan is warm and cheerful, and both of them are rare talented women.
The literary friends who participated in this activity were mainly members of Tumen Poetry Reading Art Troupe, plus some writers and poets from other districts and counties, totaling 24 people. Another organizer is Mr Guo from a local school. The net name is three beans. As a host, she went into the mountains to see the terrain, arranged lunch and saw her off, which was very popular with everyone.
After people gathered together, everyone began to walk up the hill. In winter, the forest is cold and the grass withers. It is cloudy. There was rain and snow in Xi 'an, but there was no rain and snow. The temperature in mountainous areas is low. It snowed in the mountains yesterday. Today, the road up the mountain is covered with snow, the hillside is covered with snow, and the branches are covered with snow. But it didn't snow in Xi 'an, and the ground was dry.
Pay attention. Most people in this group are working middle-aged, such as Gong Wei and Guo Sandou. There are not a few retired people like me.
Everyone walked along the way, laughing, looking at the snow, posing for photos, very happy. I am over 60 years old, and I feel much younger with many energetic young people.
The road on the mountain is icy and slippery. We climbed the mountain carefully. After about 40 minutes, we came to a gentle slope area with high slope. From here down, the slope is steep and there is a skating track. Many people slide down on plastic cushions, which is quite exciting. We have several party member, such as Wei Tian and Guo Sandou, who are yelling and having a good time.
On the way, I once walked with my companion Dashan. After chatting, I learned that his name is Zhang Xingfa. Like me, he is also a demobilized soldier. He once served in Air Force Aviation School 16, changed jobs in 2005, and worked in 6 18. Now he has retired. Now he is the propaganda minister of the poetry recitation art troupe. Because they have served in the air force, they speak the same language and talk more.
It's almost noon 12, and we're going down the mountain for lunch. On the way down the mountain, the road was icy and slippery. I accidentally fell twice. Fortunately, I was quick-witted. I quickly supported my body with my hands and didn't fall. Otherwise, the old arms and legs are osteoporosis, and it will be troublesome in case of fracture!
I walked with Guo Sandou. Seeing me wrestling, she said that the non-slip shoes she was wearing couldn't fall off, and she took my hand kindly and walked a slippery road. Here, I am deeply grateful.
Come to a farmhouse for lunch. During the period, the versatile Jiang organized members of the poetry recitation art troupe to perform chorus performances, and some of them also recited poems and told stories. Everyone got together, showed their talents, laughed and laughed, and it was very lively.
After dinner, literary and art friends chatted for a while and exchanged ideas. It's already past 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone is going down the mountain. When they came to the parking lot of the protection station, the literary friends said goodbye to each other and continued to organize such activities and continue to be happy.
It is better to be happy alone than with others. After the snow, the Shan Ye in Qinling Mountains is wrapped in silver, with fresh air and full of poetry and painting. During this trip, I met old friends I haven't seen for many days and made many new friends. We climbed mountains, walked in the snow, enjoyed the snow scene, communicated with each other, let fly, merged with nature and spent an unforgettable day together.
