July 14 Shita Xing'an Ridge Aerial Lookout Altai Three strategies
At eight o'clock in the morning, Wang Yingjian, Zhang Cheng, Qian Tong, Li Huaying, and Xia Zhongyi left Suzhou for Lanzhou on the first plane. At 5:00 p.m., the second plane arrived in Suzhou from Lanzhou and came to greet Li Junhuansheng, Wang Junjunsheng and Yu Ye. Yu Mosi's trip to the northwest did not reach its final destination, and liang used it to be sad. Looking back at the winter of the fifteenth year of the Republic of China, Yu was in Qingdao's mining affairs and compiled a small booklet on Xinjiang issues. Published by the Shanghai Zhonghua Bureau, it is included in the National Diplomacy Minor Undertaking Book. At that time, efforts were made to search for the main points of Various Books in China and abroad, and specially raised (1) the issue of border defense, (ii) the issue of race, and (iii) the issue of minerals. Express personal opinions to arouse the attention of the people of our country. Yu wanted to travel for a long time, but this time he was not allowed to go to the field investigation. On the day of Yu's departure from Shanghai, he promised his friends that the year before, he had set foot on the Xing'an Mountains along the Mohe River in the Heilongjiang River, and this time he would climb the Altai Mountains on the extreme edge of Xinjiang. Now it only stops at the Qilian Mountains, and its sorrow is like Yes. It's nighttime tossing and turning that you can't sleep. Finally, he drafted three strategies for himself, and went to Xinjiang to investigate minerals as the best strategy according to the original plan. Can't enter Xinjiang, but travel to Qinghai instead, and the middle strategy is also. If the best strategy is not feasible, then travel more to the land of The second province of Shaanxi in Gansu, and Si is the next policy.
July 15 Return from Suzhou to Lanzhou Bittersweet Divide an After fifteen years of Su Zhi met Wang Yang chang to talk about new things
At dawn, at six o'clock, he went to the airport with Li Huansheng and Wang Junsheng and Erjun. As usual, the weight is weighed, and the remaining weight is increased by one kilogram when it leaves Shanghai. Think of a week of ancient temple life, every day with leek eggs and local yuan color sandwich sand wheat cake to fill the hunger. Sleeping in a pit where the stables are neighbors, using books as pillows and raincoats as quilts is not evil. Although there were four evils who were enemies at the same time, they were not defeated. Fortunately, before Yu set off, he would ask Wu Xingye to inject cholera and typhoid prevention agents in Shanghai, and he felt even more fearless. And yu has already experienced this kind of life. In the northeast to serve the mining industry, footprints throughout the four provinces of Liaoji heihe, the hardships and hardships encountered are really more than this. It is important to know that no matter what kind of environment in the world, it is relative. The relative degree is based on the philosophical conception of the individual. The so-called suffering of A is not necessarily the so-called happiness of B. The so-called suffering of B, or the so-called pleasure of C. For example, in the summer of the sixteenth year of the Republic of China, the Feng army retreated from the east of Henan, bombed the Yellow River Iron Bridge, and the North and South trains of Jinghan Road did not contact each other. One day, Yu yi and your friends returned to Zhengzhou from The Liuhegou in Anyang County, and arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River, where it was already dark, crossed the bridge on foot, and hoped to take the train on the south bank. Suddenly, several empty coal trucks were in the middle of the bridge. It has to go forward. Yu You was injured when passing the second car. Not to move forward, because they were together in the coal car to rest for the night. The next morning, a red sun rises slowly from the bottom of the river, and the world is extremely large. When others do this, they may think that they are extremely bitter, and yu is really happy. There are many people who watch the sunrise on the top of the mountain, and there are also many people who watch the sunrise on the sea. How many people can watch the sunrise on the Yellow River Iron Bridge? The reason why God has given me is so generous and why don't I be happy? Another example is the mid-winter of the twentieth year, Yu Zimo River to explore gold back to Harbin, driving a rake plough (skating carriage) in the Middle of the Heilongjiang River and the Erguna River, lasting fifteen days, ice and snow, grinning wind and wild dew, eating and living in the regular track. Others may think that it is great suffering, but Yu deserves to be happy. Both are the most rare situations in the rest of life, and they are also the experiences of happiness for the rest of life. Our philosophical concepts are different. The environment in which each person lives cannot be unchanged, and the greater the change, the greater the relative difference. And this change and difference is, after all, beneficial and harmless to life. For example, those who have ascended to heaven but have not yet entered hell will never know the sufferings of hell. Whoever enters the earth and then ascends to heaven will feel the joy of heaven even more. The Buddha said I don't go to hell who goes to hell. I said I don't go to hell hell and hell ends up hell. Oh, for the past twenty-five years, so the realm of the black heat of The Liaoji has been lingering in the new land of Ganning Qingxin, this thing is also this Zhiye. Yu did not hesitate to edit "The Xinjiang Question" (published by shanghai Zhonghua Bookstore in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China), "History of British Aggression in Tibet" (sixteen years of the Republic of China), and "Northeast Mining Society Newspaper" (published every February since the winter of the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, and discontinued after 9/18). It is a pity to risk hardships and sacrifices, and the effect is not seen. Shame on you. At six o'clock and three o'clock, all the formalities of the terminal were completed. The second aircraft then raised its wings and bid farewell to Suzhou for the time being. The sky is clear and the seat is stable. Arrived in Liangzhou at nine o'clock. After a short rest, it continued to fly eastward, and arrived in Lanzhou at 10:30 a.m. Yujin City Hotel. It is the former site of the Commercial Press, and although the room is small, it is still called clean. Important staff of Eurasian Airlines Lanzhou Station also reside here, and Li Du, on behalf of Wang Ziyao and Yang Mengzhou, a fellow villager of Sheng Shicai, arrived in Lanzhou from Xi'an on plane No. 2 yesterday, and also lived here. Yu Yu Wang Junzi yao long ear his name, although today is the first sight, deeply aware of the mission to the new. With Yang Junmeng zhou, a colleague at the old annual meeting at Northeastern University, they knew each other well, so before Erjun went to the new, Gu would despise the book and contribute to it.
