What is your worst outdoor trip experience? For Chen Quzhen, who is the "Xiangxi Wang," a lost at the age of 29 is absolutely fatal.
He had gone from Sichuan to Tibet with the “318 years of a hundred years ago.†He experienced difficulties and forced 115 people to rush out of Tibet. However, he lost his way to the no man’s land in Tibet and Qinghai. For months, there were no supplies, wild beasts, and cold weather...
When it comes to life and death, it is not only a horror legend to eat people; it is not just a distant romance to love people. â€
It was 1911. In that year, a group of people with Qing-style long-handed owls swept into the vast wilderness of the Tibetan land and completely separated from the rest of the world.
The purpose of their trip was to go home and return to the mainland. However, they unexpectedly died and were buried in the deserted wilderness.
Or, in the companion's stomach.

Twenty years later, Chen Ququn, one of the seventeen people who surpassed 115 people, had a chance to reach Xining. He recalled this legendary Tibet legend and described in detail the stories along the way from Sichuan, as well as with a Tibetan woman. Love and death.
He took the meaning of “I confessed the west and the wilderness†in “Poetry Xiaoya Xiaoming†and named his own book with more than 20,000 characters as “The Wilderness Dustâ€. (艽[qiú])
"Dust in the Wilderness" is written for the popular classical Chinese and has a modern vernacular version of "Tibet Life and Death Line" (or translation of "Tibetan Surprise").
"The Adventures of 318" A Hundred Years Ago
The wilderness means deserted land. Turning over Chen Quzhen’s life course, the land it passes through is not a wasteland.
Everything should be started two years ago when we entered the pond.
In 1909, at the age of 27, Chen Quzhen served in the Qing Army of the Ching Dynasty. His army was instructed to expel the British troops from Tibet. Soon after his departure, his chieftain turned to the British Army, and this time he entered Tibet, and he had to mediate with the rebels.
Chen Chuzhen started from Chengdu, and passed Yazhou (now Ya'an), Luding Bridge, Daban Blasting (now Kangding), Zhe Duotang, Changchun Dam, Daowu, Hall Zhanggu (now Huohou County), Ganzi, and Bomi, Gongbu, Lulang and other places have overlapped with the National Highway 318 Sichuan-Tibet section. The picture comes from the internet.
It has always been hardships to enter Tibet from Sichuan, not to mention a hundred years ago. The changing weather, frequent disasters, and steep mountains are all the swords of Damexa hanging overhead.
Today's 318 Tongmai section continues to suffer disasters and is known as the "Tianmai natural insurance." Those who have walked must have deep understanding. Figure / Yulin
The plateau, a group of people in the wild - when the late autumn, Tibet winds and snows almost every day. Chen Quzhen who was a hundred years ago is not as lucky as we are. There are warm emergency clothes and light professional tents...
Their camping baggage is mostly stupid, especially tents. Once the snow is up in the middle of the night, after they get up early to withdraw their snowfall, they must also chop wood around, blowing snow and snow blowing, burning fire to dry the damp tarpaulin, and then get the camel. Back.
Each class has a wounded person. Some self-satisfied savvy soldiers refused to come down with sick horses. The two feet became so swollen and cold, they lost consciousness and were even less reluctant to walk. So gradually become swollen leg swelling ulcers, want to go can not go, slowly body frostbite, deadly dead in the middle. Image from the network
Starting from Enda, entering the winter, the world is full of peaks, ice, and snow, and the horses and horses are silver and the waterfalls are frozen. The army of cattle, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, horses, cubs, quails, etc. Chen Quzhen exclaimed:
The hardship of the journey is far less than the 318 walking tour today.
Figure / Yulin
Lao Zuo was beaten by the rebels and scored a number of knives – it took more than 50 days to go to Qamdo. At this time, Chen Quzhen volunteered to serve as a vanguard scout. When he detected Laozuotang, he suddenly encountered the night patrols and approached him with a sword. His blade reflected the moonlight and snow.
The hiding hut is dim and narrow, and if the chaos is cut, there will be no doubt. On the occasion of the moment, he stepped forward and slammed. For a moment, the surrounding knife flashes, and the fists and feet meet, and the sound of screaming alive is raised.
Chen Quzhen fainted due to severe pain, and he woke up and found that he had become a prisoner under the order. Fortunately, he was extremely alert and falsely claimed to be a special envoy; the other party did not dare to pick up the champs, and thus passed away and returned with pain.

The old Bomi, the gathering place - this adventure, only the beginning. Now a peaceful Bomi mountain forest, at the time, was a gathering ground.
Chen Quzhen, who was out of danger after being left to his death, was blessed with a misfortune and was promoted to take control of the army. After a fierce battle, the monks once again swooped, and Chen Quzhen jumped up and left his troops under the yellow team to keep the battlefield. He just walked less than 30 steps and suddenly heard a loud noise.
Looking back, it was the wilderness pushing the huge rock down from heights. The yellow team officer was instantly grinded into mud! The yellow team officials are in the position where Chen Quzhen left more than ten seconds ago!

Lu Langbian, once dead in the corpse—Bomi's first defeat, Chen Quzhen retired Lulang. Lulang Town, located in Bayi District, Linzhi City, this time, Junlin Temple, Huahai Temple, Fangzhuan "went to work Bruen, will forget their hometown." Around Lulang at that time, there was another scene of monks.
Chen was appointed by Lulang to enter the Winter Nine (now Dong Jiujiu) in order to counter the attack on Bomi. At night, he was awkwardly awkward by stocks and odors in the camp. He searched nights and saw the limbs of the soldiers who were dead in the bushes. He was covered in thin layers, even under his pillow. Broken bones.
Tibetan native jungle. The voice of the army chanting and shouting in the wilderness and mountains was screaming. Fortunately, the White Horse and his son-in-law were deceived afterwards, and Bomi regained peace. Figure / Yulin
Similar frightening experiences are too numerous to enumerate. Since the long journey to Tibet, Chen Quzhen has been very quiet.
Two years have passed and the situation has become more mixed. It was in 1911, the year of the transformation of the Chinese land, the military transformation of Bomi, the Sichuan-based Ge Lao will be rampant, and the Tibetan army will be mixed up. Chen Quzhen is prepared to leave the dangerous Qamdo without authorization.
But this time, he lost his way into the pond and the number of people was more than one company. In the end, only seven people survived.
Winter breaks the pond, the most fierce attempt
Taking into account that the re-running of the Sichuan-Tibet line may face the Qing army facing the Tibetan rebellion, Chen Chuzhen decided to lead a total of 115 Xiangxi and Yunnan-Guizhou-born soldiers and ventured to leave Tibet from Qinghai.
Unexpectedly, more than 100 people will never return to this place.

Imagination is always wonderful. The old Lama, a 70-year-old wizard, mentioned the route. He said that he spent more than two months in his youth to walk through the mild summer.
At this time the cold weather, Chen Quzhen kept a fluke, thinking that one person a horse, 90 days of rations, and March for more than a month to go to Qaidam it.
Seven days after marching, Ha Lawusu was surrounded by hundreds of Tibetan soldiers with knives and guns. After one night of panic after being watched, I was inexplicably trapped by thousands of Tibetan cavalry soldiers on the second day. I walked away, I stopped and stopped... I had to come to a fierce battle. Then Chen Quchen led the department to hurry to leave.
Wasteland, restricted area of ​​life. Figure/cotton
This entered the east side of the pond - three days since then, four days to see the sky, but no smoke. The old lamas of the wizard said dignifiedly: "Since then, we have entered the desert of Zhangtang..."
Since then, heavy snow fell, desolate, not seeing the grass, and the horses and horses were hungry and exhausted. The soldiers took their own rations and chanted them, hoping that they would cheer up and take everyone out of the desert.
In March of this year, food rations have been consumed for more than half in 20 days.

The breath of death rushed forward—there was no way forward, and they were so ignorant that they broke into the snow-falling desert. Most of the soldiers were covered with severe frostbite, and in the end the body was so bad that they couldn't move. Every day, people fell to death.
No tent. When the snow source camp, directly lying on the ground, the head and face all covered in clothes, one outside the body splashed with snow. When you get up early and bury your body in the snow, you need to carefully turn around, then suddenly stand straight and stand up, so that the whole body of snow will instantly fall, so as not to get on the skin and cause swelling.
On this day, the grain warned that they began to hunt the wild bisons around and they couldn't catch it. They slaughtered the yaks. There were only 73 people dead and wounded, and each had more than 50 heads of cattle and horses. If luggage was not needed, they had to be burned.
Tibetan wild donkey. The weather was too cold. The flesh of those animals was cut off. Instead of freezing into ice cubes in ten minutes, the texture was fine and crisp. When cutting with a knife, it was like cutting wood. Over time, light food also feels sweet, no longer thinking salt and salty. Figure / shovel
The guide would rather be buried in the wolves - after they had burned their luggage, 13 people died of the disease and 15 people died from pain in their legs.
The 70-year-old wizard Lama was able to vaguely indicate the road at the beginning, and then it was filled with snow and ice. Even he himself was faint. Every time he lost his way, the old Lama looked for a commanding height to look around. Sometimes he saw the old half-day without result. He followed the soldiers around and became furious and kept blaming. Finally, he used a gun handle to beat the old Lama, or was full of old punches.
One night, the lamas who could not stand the tyrannical soldiers escaped. The wilderness is wolf, and the lama is alone and has no dry food. The remaining people also lost the only possible guide...
Wasteland, wolf. Image from the network
In desperation, life and death struggling - the old guide walked away and the crowds lost their direction. The advance team of the 10 people on the road has gone without return, leaving only 30 people.
The road is blurred, I do not know where. The snow is nearly 1 meter. The sky is full of yellow sand. Wild animals are missing. Every day, people die of cold and hungry. They can walk around and help themselves.
Knocking water, picking horses and horses droppings, finding stones to set up stoves, hunting wild beasts, and burning fires are all difficult things that are related to basic survival.
Ignition is all about patience and luck. First, the best colored dried cow dung is smashed into fine pieces. Then tear the clothes into small strips. One person wipes the matches in the human flesh wall and wipes the matches and ignites the cloth strips. Then the crowd is moved to blow the breeze into the fabrics. Completely on the ground, put it on the ground and carefully cover the shit horse dung. A moment later, the smoke from the fire started, and then the cow dung was piled up before it was all done. It could no longer be easily extinguished.
At the end of the 16th, the abandoned bicycles of the victims in Tangyin. One hundred years ago, when the unlucky team was lost in no man's land and people died, everyone digging buried their comrades' corpses. Later, various diseases increased, too many people died, and they lived on their own. The zombie fell beside the road and only stood for a moment, sighing with relative sigh. Figure/cotton
In no man's land, people become wolf - it has been three days. Chen Quzhen suddenly heard that the soldiers were noisy. The people who were hungry and faint were rushing to eat the corpse of a soldier surnamed Yang who died last night.
The corpse was eaten by the wolf all the way through the middle of the night and left with only two hands. The soldiers took it back and ate it on fire. Chen Chuzhen could not help but tears.
The wild sheep that had been called only stayed for a few days. Several people secretly murdered the Tibetan servitors beside Chen Quzhen and he was saved by the following words:
Wild animals are all their food sources. Picture source: event.fblife.com
After eating the dead cows of the millennium, there was only one last match, and only 17 survived. Another hunt, fruitless, and hungry, everyone is reluctant to move. Chen Chuzhen climbed to the top of the mountain and found a head of a wild bovine crow in the distance!
Wilderness in the wilderness, huge bull's head for a long time without rot, stiff as iron! More than a dozen people pushed together to the mountain, igniting the fire and roasting the cow's head while roasting. After 3 hours, the cow's lips finally got rid of the bones, and the rest of the meat was still stuck.
The fire burned for two days and the knife could barely cut into the cow's head. A group of people surrounded the left and right, already hungry for food, fortunately in the past two days to capture the bison, one of the wild horses, smoked some dried meat.
Wilderness bones. Picture Source:fenglin3d.com
Killing the Mongolian Lama - The dried meat quickly depleted. Everyone once again blinked and caught a buffalo by accident and peeled it raw. It was already a dead end, but suddenly met seven Mongolian monks.
The lamas generously donated food and gave camels to help Chen Quzhen and others escape from life. However, they suddenly heard gunfire behind them. Three of them were instantly shot and the remaining four flew away after a counterattack. Six people, including Xie Haiwu, who attacked the Lama’s soldiers, all also suffered serious injuries. That night, wounded soldiers mourned for help.
Early in the morning, we discovered that only two wounded soldiers had been eaten by the wolves, leaving only a pile of bones. The more people walked, the less and the more the group of wolves got together, the more they walked. In January, camping on a hillside sheltered from the wind, but at night it was found that there were countless black shadows creeping around. It was wolves!
Day and night do not break, actually trapped them for seven days!

Nine dead and one life, Qaidam - After getting rid of the wolves, he gradually emerged from the wilderness and the scenery was beautiful. In the families of the Tibetans encountered, they suddenly received food from the human world, and they were accommodated in tents. The people were as immortal.
After renting a rider, the Tibetans were requested to provide supplies and guide the way. After 16 days, they arrived in Qaidam, and saw countless yurts scattered in an endless wilderness. They finally “returned to earthâ€! After the rest, a pedestrian hired a camel and continued to Danjung Hall (now Wuyuan City).
From Jiangda in the winter of November of the year 1911, it was already June 24th, 1912, and it had accumulated 223 days. The clothes that had not been changed for a long time were all black, and it was difficult to comb with bursts of hair. This was so strangely dressed that it attracted men, women and children to view each other.
Continue to drive to Xining, leaving only 7 people.
Teng Xueqing and Zhao Tingfang were recommended by Chen Quzhen to the local garrison belt; Ji Bingyi and the other two soldiers were repatriated by Chen Quzhen; the remaining two people, except Chen Quzhen, were the Tibetan girl, Xiyuan.Xiyuan is a lover Chen Chuzhen met in Tibet. If there is no Xiyuan, Chen Quzhen has already died several times. On the battlefield and in the pond, this teenage girl is all the way to Chen Chuzhen's life and death. This is called “Tibetan Loveâ€.
Life and death is absolutely love, girl Nishihara
When Chen Quzhen was stationed at Gongbu, he was invited to go to the local camp official's house for a dinner and watch the show. He praised the most agile Taekwondo woman in the banquet. The owner introduced that he was a prostitute and called Xiyuan.
Others said: "If the governor would like to give you how?" Everyone laughed, Chen Chuzhen thought it was a joke, but also with one smile. Soon, the owner of the banquet really sent the Xiyuan costume. When the two met for the second time, they were on a simple wedding banquet at the barracks.

Nothing but I can not be without monarch - Xiyuan from then on with Chen Quzhen around, but also several times to save him in distress. When Bomi scrimped, Xi Yuan shouted and prompted Chen Chuzhen to pass by with the attacking bullet.
Afterwards, the 17-year-old Nishihara entered the “Journey of Death†together with the crowds to explain the meaning of “going in tandem†with life. On one occasion, on the way, two days after the shortage of grain, there was only a small piece of dried meat. Chen Juzhen swallowed half and the other half gave Xiyuan. She firmly refused to eat, crying:
The two had been left behind in the desert due to the fact that they were surrounded by scores of wild wolves. At the moment of life and death, the two sit side by side, the West is holding the gun tightly, and Chen Quzhen holds a knife, ready to fight at any time. Fortunately, the group of wolves voluntarily retreated and the two escaped. Picture Source: "Dust in the Wilderness"
The beginning of the period, but the middle road forever - thousands of miles from the king, survived the most difficult 223 days, Xiyuan eventually fell ill in Xi'an.
When Chen Chuzhen went out every time, Xiyuan had to go all the way and then sat down at the door and kept him home. One day, he returned a little too late and suddenly realized that the west face opened to look red.
That night, Nishihara was bedridden. She contracted a smallpox, and afterwards she was delayed and the pawn was empty. Chen Chuzhen could only sob herself. Until one late night, Xiyuan suddenly awoke Chen Quzhen, and suddenly died afterwards. Chen Chuzhen cried on the corpse, crying several times and fainted.

At this point, the liver and intestines were cramped - after the book was installed in Xiyuan, Chen drained her home with tears, and the Yangtian trombone stopped there:
There is no word of love, but between the lines of the word, they are deeply sad and profound. After many years, Chen Quzhen re-emerged in Xiangxi, lived for a long time, and was called the "king of Xiangxi."
He added the word "Yuan" to his daughter's name. In 1921, he relocated Xiyuan to the ancient city of Fenghuang to personally write an epitaph. In 1936, Chen Quzhen wrote "The Wilderness of the Wilderness." It was more than 20 years old and his affection was still there. Afterwards, many legendary greats are not worth mentioning.Life can be hard but not boring
Life and death, wilderness adventure, the story is lively enough to stimulate, fantasy and moving, but it seems far from our ordinary people. Life is not a continuous drama, and there are all sorts of dullness and trivialities. This is also true for Chen Quzhen and “The Dustfield Dreamâ€.
However, “Curious Baby†Chen Quzhen has always had the ability to discover life as an adventure, to discover new things on every dull day, and to devote all his efforts.

The book vividly depicts hundreds of years ago Tibetan customs and scenes, such as:
Herd of cows crossing the river in an alpine valley; Herdsman's skill in managing thousands of horses and yaks; The secret way to get crickets; The wild bantam in the forest of Bomi, Barefoot fields; The old millennium trees that can be dug into a boat directly ;Nowadays, it may be hard to see each other in Tibet. Chen Chuzhen’s life and death experience has become the only legend.
But no matter what the era or life, life itself is also an adventure. It can be dull, but it cannot be cold; it can be hard but it cannot be boring.
May you be affectionate and live your own legend.
