It turns out that there are really people in this world who can live only by thoughts and memories.
01
It was the spring of 1987, and the Daxing'an Mountains were peaceful. But it was a little different from the usual wet weather, and this year suffered an extraordinary drought.
In the winter of 1986, the snow fell particularly little, and the northeast forest area, which was dry and dry, became a little dangerous because of the eastward shift of the lake's heating current, dry air, and no rain for three consecutive years.
On May 6, Wang Yufeng walked into the forest area with a shankrower on his back as usual. He was a temporary worker who was introduced to the forest team and was thankful to have found a job where he could support himself.
The work regulations are that the machine cannot be started when the oil leakage of the cutter and irrigation machine, but Wang Yufeng feels that this is not a big deal, and does not care about the oil that is leaked.
Suddenly the high-pressure line fell, the flames quickly ignited along the gasoline, and instantly burned to the grass next to it, Wang Yufeng was overwhelmed, and there was no concept related to fire prevention knowledge in his mind, pulling the burning irrigation cutter and began to run outside.
It was also on this day that Guo Yongwu of Ishi Forest Farm caught fire while using a shank.
On this day, Wang Baozheng and Fu Banglan walked into the forest. The rules clearly stated that smoking was not allowed when entering the forest, but they still took out matches while sitting down to rest.
Li Youjin of Xing'an Forest Farm also took out a cigarette to relieve his fatigue during the break.
Unquenched cigarette butts are thrown on flammable fluffy grass.
Four forest farms actually began to burn at the same time.
This is a man-made disaster.
The fire was raging, but people didn't care about it, and everyone was used to discussing it, thinking that it would soon be extinguished.
But a day later, at night, there was a sudden strong wind of level 8 or above, and the fire that had been extinguished was burned by the air current, and the fire was pushed forward by more than 100 kilometers.
Wildfires spread rapidly, and it was no longer a fire that could be stopped by man, and railways, roads, and rivers were quickly burned out, and even fire barriers could not be stopped.
The fire rushed forward and became bigger and bigger, Mohe County fell into a sea of fire, smoke billowed over the city, and the small fire that people thought did not need to care about was inadvertently formed in a joint situation, burning the Daxing'anLing like a purgatory on earth.

This is mohe, the northernmost point of China, a romantic spot where you can see the aurora borealis.
Zhang Dequan and his wife know each other here, fall in love here, and stay here. If there are no accidents, they will be the most loving couple in the world.
Dance your wife's favorite dance together in the ballroom, enjoy the romance of the Aurora Borealis together at night, and have two small children if you wish, and watch them grow up little by little.
When Zhang Dequan first saw his wife, he was attracted to this beautiful girl. Her light dancing posture is like a genie on the dance floor, but she can't dance herself, and can only increase the opportunities to get along in the name of teaching.
Like other young people, they listened to popular music together, wrote love poems to each other, and did not want money to flow out, and the two quickly fell in love, and the disturbances in the world were not more important to each other.
But later, these intense and fiery emotions were never answered.
On May 6, 1987, the huge fire in Daxing'anling burned for a total of 28 days, burning three towns, killing 193 people, and causing countless economic losses, which was the most serious forest fire since the founding of New China.
Zhang Dequan's wife was tragically killed in this mountain fire.
When he arrived at the scene, he did not even see the body of his wife.
Later, in the Mohe Ballroom, one could always see an old man dancing solo, standing in the middle of the dance floor and swaying, twisting his body to the melody, and the only difference from the others was that he had no dance partner.

After hearing this story, the musician Liu Shuang wrote a song based on the content told by the elderly Zhang Dequan - "Mohe Ballroom".
He even wrote a letter for the elderly Zhang Dequan in the first person.
Goodbye evening star.
Since his wife's life stayed that night, Zhang Dequan's love has also stopped.
For more than 30 years, he has not renewed the string, nor has he ever loved anyone else, but just silently danced in the dance hall, as if his wife was still around.
We always feel that love is far away from us, and we are also confused by the rich and complicated means of men and women in this world, and even think that we may end up alone and never meet the right soul again.
But never forget to look forward to the future, so that we can get what we want, we have to live like the other party will never come, and we have to look forward to it as the other party will come soon.
No matter what, you'll always meet the person you're destined for, sooner or later.
Zhang Dequan interpreted this sentence with his whole life: love will not disappear, and thoughts will not stop.
