Excerpt from the original:
This is a story of Tibet. The story happened many years ago, but every time I ride through the no-man's land in northern Tibet, I can't help but think of the hero of this story-Tibetan antelope, which condenses maternal love into a deep kneel.
At that time, shooting and catching wild animals were not sanctioned by law. Even today, the gunfire in Hoh Xil still brings evil echoes. Tibetan antelopes, wild horses, wild donkeys, snow chickens and antelopes are now rare in the corners beyond the reach of nature reserves.
At that time, people who often ran in northern Tibet could always see an old hunter with long hair, thick beard and long Tibetan boots walking near the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. The shiny fork gun hung obliquely on him, and the two Tibetan yaks behind him carried heavy prey.
He travels around the world, looking at the snow fields in northern Tibet, staying at the source of rivers overnight, roasting yellow mutton with fire when he is hungry, and selling a bowl of ice and snow water when he is thirsty. The hides he catches will naturally sell for a sum of money. In addition to his own consumption, he will be more used to help pilgrims in Lu Yu. Tibetan families who kowtow to Lhasa are willing to take a long road full of difficulties and obstacles.
Every time the old hunters help them, they always bless them with tears: May God bless them and be safe.
Extended data
Structurally speaking, the worship of Tibetan antelope is not complicated, but just 1200 words can leave a deep impression on readers and resonate with the soul. The author thinks that the ingenious structure, vivid details and profound thoughts of the article are its brilliant points.
From the structural division, the article can be roughly divided into three parts: Section 1-3 is the first part, introducing the background of the story; Verses 4-9 are the second part and the main body of the story; The rest of the paragraph is the third part, pointing out the theme.
Structurally, there is nothing special. Can be carefully analyzed, each part is a contest of pairs of contradictions-this is the subtlety of the article layout.
The first part, the proliferation of hunting and the protection of Tibetan antelopes are a pair of contradictions, which basically laid the tragic tone of the article and laid the groundwork for the tragic fate of Tibetan antelopes; The old hunter's "The Sparkling Fork Gun" and "The Pilgrim with an Appointment between Lu and Yu" show the two sides of a hunter-killing and redemption, which foreshadows the ending of the story.
The second part is the main body of the article, which shows the contest between human's "animality" and animal's "humanity" between life and death. The Tibetan antelope is afraid of hunters, but it doesn't run because it knows it can't outrun bullets. It stood up without hesitation the responsibility and courage that a mother should have, and wanted to beg for a chance to live for her child with her last bow and tears. The beast is silent, but it blooms with the brilliance of human nature.
The old hunter is kind and kind, and he has had struggles and pains in his heart, but pulling the trigger is out of the hunter's instinct. At the moment when he made up his mind, he completely lost the goodness of human nature, and his greed planted the seeds for his life's pain.
The third part, in short, is the escalation of contradictions and the sublimation of themes. The old hunter won his prey, but he is a loser and his heart will be condemned forever.
