Xi yuan, the niece of a Tibetan officer named Gagua Pengcuo in the late Qing Dynasty, as a Noble Tibetan, also met her love - Chen Quzhen - because of a banquet hosted by her uncle Gagua Pengcuo.
Chen Quzhen, a native of Xiangxi, Hunan, graduated from the Hunan Wubei Academy at the age of 24, then joined the army, and later followed the Minister of Chuanbian, Zhao Erfeng, to Tibet, where he led his troops to stay for some time.
It was during this time that Chen Quzhen became acquainted with local Tibetan officers, including Nishihara's uncle Gaguapong. That time, uncle Gaguapen mistakenly prepared a sumptuous banquet, invited Chen Quzhen to be a guest, in order to entertain the guests from afar, Gaguapen mistakenly arranged for Xiyuan to perform a wonderful equestrian performance after a Tibetan girl's song and dance performance.
Nishihara grew up living in the wind and horse border land, equestrian skills are very exquisite, however, she changed the old daughter dress, dressed up as a teenager, rode a horse and whipped, for the guests generous performance of horse pulling poles and other stunts, attracted Chen Quzhen even applauded, at that time, he did not find out that the "teenager" in front of him was actually a gorgeous girl.
It wasn't until Nishihara rode away that his uncle Gaguapen mistakenly said, "This is my niece Nishihara, the general is so wrong, promise to you!" It turned out that Gagua Peng mistakenly appreciated Chen Quzhen very much, and had already explained his intentions to Xiyuan before the banquet, Xiyuan was proud and generous in his daily life, and the most admired was a young and promising man like Chen Quzhen, so he also had no opinion on his uncle's decision, and Chen Quzhen was very surprised and gladly agreed.
When they first met, Nishihara was still wearing men's clothes, and the next day, they officially met, and Nishihara specially dressed up beautifully and changed into bright women's clothes. What appeared in front of Chen Quzhen was a bright-eyed, windy girl, she really surprised him, and love also took root at that moment...
Since then, the two young people have often accompanied each other to ride horses and stroll, and those days have also become precious, and soon after, Gaguapen mistakenly held a grand wedding for the two of them, solemnly handed over Xiyuan to Chen Quzhen, from meeting each other and loving each other, the two finally cultivated the right results, but soon after, a big test came.
After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, the members of the League in Tibet also rebelled in response to the revolution, Chen Quzhen did not oppose the revolution, but as a Qing Dynasty officer, he was inevitably involved, in order to preserve loyalty, he decided to leave Tibet and return to the Central Plains.
The way back is long, to cross the entire Qiangtang wasteland, it is cold winter weather, the road ahead is extremely dangerous, but even so, there are still more than a hundred subordinates who want to follow him back, and Xiyuan, without hesitation, accompanied by Chen Quzhen, embarked on the desert road. For her, it may be difficult to return to her homeland in Tibet, but where Chen Quzhen is, her love is where her love is, and her home is there.
The situation on the road is even worse than imagined, they not only have to overcome the harsh natural environment, but also to resist the ugliness of human nature in extreme environments, there are constantly people starving to death, sick and dying, the living people in order to survive, began to eat the weak, there are cruel things that people eat people. Chen Quzhen at first in order to leave more food for Xiyuan, he secretly did not eat, after falling ill, he was also coveted by those who were extremely hungry, Nishihara with the strength of a woman, armed with a gun to protect around, inseparable, and finally let him survive and get better.
After walking on foot for seven months, they finally arrived at the Central Plains, and Nishihara was also relieved, but she was not greeted by Chen Quzhen's appearance. Because she had given rations to Chen Quzhen for several days, coupled with the hard work along the way, after arriving in Xi'an, Xiyuan was unsatisfied with the water and soil, and for various reasons, she quickly died of incense.
On the occasion of his death, Xiyuan, who was lying in Chen Quzhen's arms, left these words: "Xiyuan Wanli Congjun has always been with him, and he does not want to be terminally ill, and he has to say goodbye to Junzhong Dao... May the king be on the way back, cherished all the way, nishihara can no longer accompany..."
This romantic love, in the end, ended in tragedy, Chen Quzhen was almost cut off, and later, he became the king of Xiangxi, but he has always been obsessed with Xiyuan, who once sacrificed his life to accompany and protect him, for this reason, he also wrote the book "Wild Dust Dream", writing their stories in it, full of his nostalgia and love for Xiyuan.
