Now that Chen Xing is back, he has gone through the hottest period in Chengdu. The temperature has dropped a lot compared to before, but it has also rebounded back and forth.
The weather in eastern Sichuan is like this. It’s not unusual to wear short sleeves yesterday and wear down today.
After the plane landed, he first went to the logistics to check the goods he had sent from Paris, and then went to his sister's house for a meal as usual. After receiving a call from the logistics company, his brother-in-law drove them to China Resources 24 City Qi.
Mansion.
This house has been used for a long time since it was bought, but Chen Xing has not lived in it a few times throughout the year.
On the one hand, he didn’t buy too much furniture. On the other hand, he was often away from home, either in other provinces or foreign countries. When he returned to Sichuan Province, he also went home to see his parents. This is why this house has not become popular even after buying it for so long.
.
Staff from several logistics companies helped move things into the house, unpacked them, and cleaned them.
These tasks kept my cousin and her family busy here until the evening.
Xu Xiaofei put the collected garbage bags outside the door, looked back at Chen Xing's bright and new home, and said with great emotion: "I haven't even graduated from college yet. I didn't expect you to have already bought a house in full. It's really true."
, no one believed it before."
Tao Qian also said: "No one believes it now. I remember Chen Xing is only 20, right? Being able to buy a house by himself at the age of 20 is really amazing."
Although Chen Xing's family was slightly better off, they were not yet in a position where they could afford to buy Chen Xing a house in Chengdu. At first, they just wanted Chen Xing to come back from college and enter a factory near home or find some other job. I am also buying a house in the town.
Buying a house in Chengdu is too expensive, but if you live in a local county or town, a family can still afford the money.
They still don’t know that one piece of Chen Xing’s current work can almost buy a house in his hometown.
If we don't circumvent the firewall in China, few ordinary people will know the current price of one of Chen Xing's works. After all, there is no way to access the official website of the gallery, and there is no way to know the latest current price.
But no matter what, as a 20-year-old man, Chen Xing is very good.
After praising Chen Xing for a long time, they went back late at night.
If Chen Xing were in Paris, he would have to let them live at home. It's not that there are no guest rooms, but in China it's easy. Let's not talk about the public security. His brother-in-law's strong figure can scare those who robbed people on the road in Paris.
of gypsies.
This apartment may be a little crowded for a family to live in, but Chen Xing only has one person. It has three bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms, which is completely enough for a small family.
He still likes that study room.
The function of this study room is not only for reading books, at least not only for reading books, but also for playing games, watching projections, drawing, etc.
Putting a computer, easel and drawing board in the bedroom seems a bit crowded, and it doesn’t look good in the living room, so it can only be placed in the study room. Without the trouble of a big bed in the bedroom, you can do whatever you want with the space of more than ten square meters.
.
The decoration in the bedroom had been purchased a few months ago. After all, Chen Xing would come to live here sometimes.
The next day, he went back to the New Territories to visit his parents, divided the gifts, and Chen Xing was ready to go to Lop Nur, Western Xinjiang.
This is a very mysterious place.
Chen Xing initially just wanted to go to Dunhuang to experience the Dunhuang culture more for his own shooting plan. But after checking the information, he came across the ancient country of Loulan and other scenic spots on the ancient Silk Road.<
/p>
Here I have to mention why Chen Xing wanted to take a group of artistic photos of the Dunhuang goddess.
First of all, Chen Xing likes the word goddess very much. It is a word that is different from traditional Chinese fairies. Goddess sounds more high-end, such as Nuwa, Xihe, Chang Xi, and other traditional Chinese goddess images.<
/p>
However, just because the word "Dunhuang" was added, the goddess was given an exotic style.
Secondly, I have to mention that Tang Shiyi dances so beautifully. She has a soft figure, is nimble and playful, and her appearance may not be as outstanding as those who get into the entertainment industry based on their looks, but they naturally have a bit of the Western Region in Chen Xing's mind.<
/p>
When he saw her dancing, what Chen Xing thought about was... Her shape is as graceful as a startling dragon, as graceful as a swimming dragon, as glorious as an autumn chrysanthemum, and as luxuriant as a spring pine. It seems as if the moon is covered by light clouds, floating in the air.
It's like snow falling back from the flowing wind.
Luo Shen Fu.
Goddess, Western Regions, the image of a Dunhuang goddess jumped out.
When I searched for information and found the ancient Loulan Kingdom in the Western Regions, the mysterious comments on the Internet began to attract Chen Xing's new interest. Why foreigners are not allowed to enter, and why a trip would cost tens of thousands of yuan.
Real or fake? Isn’t it just a scenic spot?
Such remarks made Chen Xing return to China a few days early to confirm what was going on here.
After packing some autumn clothes, Chen Xing said goodbye to his parents and boarded a plane to Xijiang.
The ancient Loulan Kingdom was located in Lop Nur, which is located in the southeast of present-day Western Xinjiang.
Lop Nur is a particularly regrettable place. As you can tell from the name, it was originally a huge lake.
In certain periods of history, the Chelchen River flowing from south to north in Western Xinjiang and the Shule River running from east to west in the Hexi Corridor were also the water sources of Lop Nur Daze. There used to be thousands of rivers united into one place, with abundant water and grass.
’s golden age, and supported a business hub like Loulan.
Eastern and Western civilizations collide here.
But now nothing can be seen. In the 1960s, after the last drop of water here dried up, Lop Nur completely became a restricted area for life, and only a few creatures could live in it.
Chen Xing didn't arrive in Xijiang until ten o'clock the next morning, and after landing, he had to sit in the car for several hours.
Chen Xing's resistance to diesel vehicles has now reached a very high level. Otherwise, Chen Xing would definitely have lost half his life during these few hours' drive. It is hard to say whether he would be able to move after sleeping all night.
The smell in the car is so bad, it's better to sit on a truck in Africa.
But even so, after arriving in Qiang County, he still opened a small room and rested for a few hours before he recovered.
The hotel he stayed in deliberately avoided the station. After all, the hotels near the station are the most deceptive areas. Sometimes the prices are quite cheap, but as Uncle Benshan’s sketches say, it really makes someone want to lie to you.
When the time comes, it’s hard to guard against.
So just stay away.
But when Chen Xing woke up after a long nap, he heard the sound of playing and singing downstairs.
This style of music is very familiar to Chen Xing. Although the tune has changed a bit, the instruments are still the same ones that Chen Xing has listened to for several days at the wedding in Xijiang... Could it be that someone is getting married downstairs again?
When he first arrived here in the morning, he wanted to find a big hotel, but he walked around and couldn't find it. He was a little tired, so he checked into a hotel that looked clean and slept.
When you go upstairs, you can indeed see a restaurant, but this restaurant is a Xijiang barbecue and has nothing to do with the hotel.
Chen Xing had had enough sleep and was a little curious, so he took his camera, cell phone and room key card with him, and went downstairs to where the music was playing.
When singing in an indoor environment, the sound cannot float so far, nor is it so loud. This can only happen outdoors. Chen Xing was prepared for this first point, so he walked about twenty meters
, he saw a place on the side of the street, recessed from the middle of the house.
Although they are both in Western Xinjiang, the architectural style in Qiang County is different from that in Altai.
The buildings here like to use a unique brown color mixed with yellow and red. This color seems to be unique to this place. Chen Xing has never seen this color on buildings in other places before. The appearance structure of the houses is tight and regular, and some
There is also a large halal-style dome on the building.
This type of dome building is said to be quite old. It is the religious style of the Muslims a long time ago. They learned from the ancient civilizations of Rome and Greece and built large dome buildings that look similar to the Persian style. But this learning process was interrupted by the Mongols, and the Muslim dynasty was overthrown by the Mongols. After the Islamic civilization was rebuilt, although they were also building large domes, they were not the same as the original Persian-style large domes.
There is something different.
Ask Chen Xing why he knows so much about architecture?
Parisian high fashion doesn’t come for nothing.
Whether it's oil painting or photography, you have to learn various architectural styles in school. Otherwise, how can you paint a building so well in oil painting?
Continuing back to this venue recessed into the wall, there is a sign on the top and side of it, which says Qiang County Cultural Stage. There is a teacher on the right who is responsible for the sound, and a group of instrumentalists are sitting against the wall behind.<
/p>
Ahead, of course, there are the indispensable songs and dances of Xijiang.
Listening to the music, Chen Xing's DNA moved.
For three days, he watched other people dance at other people's weddings. He occasionally had to perform a few times, and now he can dance some Western Xinjiang dance moves.
There are four dancing girls on the stage, with white hats on their heads, red vests, yellow skirts, pants, and red dancing shoes. The colors look particularly comfortable. When they turn, their two long braids follow.
Her body was spinning and dancing, and she was wearing trousers of the same color underneath her skirt.
Wearing trousers under this skirt is particularly respectful of tradition.
After listening carefully, I realized that those who played instruments in the back were also responsible for singing. The chorus and ensemble of more than a dozen people all had local characteristics and were very nice to listen to.
There is an event being held here, and many people are here.
In a place with ethnic minorities like this, Chen Xing didn't dare to squeeze forward casually. When the song ended and a gorgeously dressed girl came to announce the curtain, he found a person around him who seemed to have a good personality.
young people.
"Hey, handsome guy." Chen Xing shouted.
Sure enough, the man turned around, looked at Chen Xing, and said in Mandarin that smelled like mutton skewers: "What can I do for you?"
"What kind of performance is this? There are so many people here."
"It's just a very ordinary art performance. It happens all the time. Just watch it. It's free anyway."
Ordinary theatrical performance?
Free?
Are all your products of this quality?
At this time, the next program also started. Chen Xing stopped asking, took two photos with his camera, and then continued watching.
Western Xinjiang is too big and has many ethnic groups. Chen Xing has already been to the westernmost part of Western Xinjiang and several cities near the border. It can be said that they have a pure flavor of Western Xinjiang. But when he came to the Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, he found that the
The Western Xinjiang style and Mongolian style blend very well.
The characteristics of the two cultures can be seen in the clothing. From an architectural point of view, this place is more distinctive than many other places.
The people gathered here come and go, and they look no different from the street performers we often see outside, except that the scale is a bit larger and more professional. The dancers are young and beautiful, and they play musical instruments well. p>
Chen Xing thought they would say something at the end, but the elder sister who announced the curtain came up and said a few words and it ended.
The guy next to Chen Xing also watched until the end before leaving. Chen Xing felt that he had plenty of time, so he caught up and asked: "Handsome guy, what did she just say? I can't understand." p>
It's nice to watch, but both the songs and the announcements are all in the local dialect. Chen Xing sounds like he's listening to Russian.
"They said there will be no performances this month and they will not start again until October 10th."
"Oh, hello, my name is Chen Xing, what's yours?"
"My name is Enhe Nashun. Oh, handsome guy, you can find someone else. I have something else to do."
Something's up? Something's up. You and I watched it for more than an hour.
Well, Chen Xing definitely wouldn't try to get involved even if everyone rejected him. After saying sorry, he wanted to find someone to ask about the situation... Of course, he didn't want to inquire about this cultural performance, but wanted to inquire about the Loulan ruins with the locals.
.
There was not much time. He would go to Yanjing by the 28th at the end of September at the latest. He could watch the national flag raising on National Day and then find Tang Shiyi who had returned from abroad.
I'll finish filming early so I can go back to school.
After spending a few days visiting Lop Nur, he also had to go to Dunhuang, so time was a little tight.
Before he could find the second person, his stomach began to protest.
After getting off the plane, he hadn't eaten anything for several hours, not even drinking water. Only now did he realize that he was a little hungry and thirsty.
He randomly found a small supermarket and bought a bottle of mineral water. When paying the bill, Chen Xing thought... Why should I look for a passerby? Isn't there a ready-made one?
He remembered Zhou Peng saying that local small supermarkets are the best informed.
So when paying, Chen Xing asked: "Hello, brother, I am a tourist from out of town. I would like to know how to get to the Loulan ruins? I didn't find where the ticket sales place is."
"Loulan Ruins?"
My mandarin is quite good. He asked to confirm, shook his head and said, "Don't go, you can't go. It's a no-man's land over there, and you're not allowed to enter it for a long time. Besides, there is a large section of the road that is under military control. Do you want to get rid of it?"
I have to ask the Culture and Tourism Bureau here to issue an invoice, and I have to ask for permission from the soldier, so I can’t go."
"Ah? Isn't this an attraction?"
"What kind of scenic spot? It has never been a scenic spot, and what's so good about a bunch of loess walls? Forget it, but you can go to the Loulan Museum or other ancient city ruins. Anyway, I think they are pretty much the same." p>
Can’t go?
Although Chen Xing didn't find travel notes on the Internet, he did see someone going there. Why did he say he couldn't go?
