? We have been preparing for a month for this trip to try our hand at high altitude. The material: cold clothing, long and short thick and thin, scarves and gloves, and boarding poles; physical: half a month in advance to start drinking rhodiola and xiyangshen. Every day hiking, from two or three kilometers to five or six kilometers, or even nearly ten kilometers, step by step; psychological: communicate with people who have been there, listen to their advice, to ease the psychological pressure. They also consulted the Internet to find information about the symptoms of high altitude sickness and first aid measures. Spiritually: they cheered themselves up, encouraged each other, and were supported by their families. Finally reached **** knowledge: joy on the face, happy hidden in the heart. No excitement, no chasing, no clamor. - - really not holding the pilgrim's mind, because we do not have that deep Taoist practice of nature, but because of high reflexes.

Assembled in Chengdu, checked into the Fanghua Hotel, waiting for friends and family, enjoying the afternoon alone, tasting Sichuan cuisine, I felt relaxed and confident:

? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

? The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

? 8 morning 6:15, the driver pulled us to the bus to gather. Nearly 7 o'clock, the bus departed, the guide began the so-called "talk about the group" work.

? Tour guide Aso, authentic Tibetans, five features are upright, aggressive, meticulous smile he has forty seven. However, with his age is matched by his learning and knowledge. It is not easy to be eloquent, and it is even more difficult to be cited. Knowledge of the broad, so that he is at ease, but the sense of life, it is more people sincerely admire.

Our bus along this is called one of the most beautiful kilometers of the 318 national highway driving, over the altitude of more than 4,000 Mount Cheduo, to the Tibetan area of the first attraction: the Moya sacred ground.

Moya Holy Land scenic spot is located in the world-renowned love song of the city of Kanding, is the first Ganzi State to folk customs and natural scenery combined with the tourist attractions, but also the country's first to reflect the Tibetan Moya culture as the theme of the tourist area. With an altitude of 3200---4600 meters, the scenic spot is the necessary passage to Shangri-La, Wushuhai, Zimei Liangzi, Tagong Grassland and Xinduqiao Scenic Spot. Here, the mountains are stacked, the water and grass are abundant, the mountain flowers are colorful, and it was once the place where the king of Moya and the people of Moya held festivals and grand ceremonies.

The ferry pulled us to the top of the mountain, which is 4,000 meters above sea level, but the fog was so thick that the visibility was less than ten meters. Some tourists stayed behind while we chose to go to the middle of the mountainside for a view ..... Here is worthy of being called the paradise of photography, a picturesque scene of paradise, blue sky translucent, white clouds holy, without a trace of impurity. In the distance, the mountains undulate, the stream from the bottom of the distant mountains meandering to the bottom of our feet, white Tibetan cottage dotted in the ghostly green grass, black sturdy yak, scattered on the grassy slopes leisurely eating grass ......

? In the face of such shocking beauty, we dare not excited and noisy: one is afraid of breaking the tranquility of this place, the second is more afraid of plateau reaction. The weather on the plateau is really changing, sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy. We were careful to take pictures, probably stayed at most forty minutes, just out of the scenic area, the rain fell from the sky, came in force. Many people ran to escape the rain, but I just covered my head with a big scarf and walked slowly, not even daring to walk fast.

But I didn't avoid it after all. The first thing I did was to get a splitting headache, then a shortness of breath and weakness, and finally a nausea and vomiting, and then I returned to the hotel and collapsed on the bed.

? To the meal, I not only have no appetite, but also a headache and nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, not to mention talking, undressing shoes and socks, that is, even the eyes are not willing to open. I just lay quietly on the bed, but my brain is very clear, I know that this symptom is the same as when I was in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Yunnan many years ago. At that time I was carried to the hospital, after the drip headache nausea and vomiting and other symptoms to ease, but no appetite, good thing our next day's trip is down the mountain, to the bottom of the mountain Tiger Leaping Gorge, other people drunk oxygen, but I was normal. And later the trip did not go up to the plateau again. But this trip, there are still a few days after all in the altitude of more than 3,000 places, even if I survived tonight, tomorrow night after night? Mention of Lhasa, Tibet, everyone is afraid of high reflexes, we must know that the altitude of Lhasa is 3650 meters, and our trip is over the altitude of 4600 Mt. folding to the first attraction elevation of 3200 Moya shrine, while the altitude of Inaccessible 3750 meters, the altitude of Aden in 3800 meters above the Lodzong cattle field 4000 meters, pearl sea 4100 meters, the milk sea 4500 meters, the sea of five colors 4600 meters, salad Grassland elevation 3731, Hazi Mountain 4700 ...... so yeah, this is not a small test ah!

After these considerations, I will eat dinner with the hotel back to the roommate said I am ready to leave the group. The guide was called by the roommate to observe my symptoms, said to wait another two hours to see if it is still difficult to go to the hospital. At that time I really did not have the strength to speak, the group of friends came in five or six, I can only listen to them talk, the moment I open my mouth, nausea and want to vomit. I was afraid of delaying the rest of Aso, I proposed to go to the hospital immediately. But I just got up from the bed, and then I vomited again.

The hospital is not small, but only the emergency room on the first floor has lights. I went in and saw that there were quite a lot of people. A doctor is in front of the computer to the patient to prescribe drugs, next to two or three people waiting, are tourists to see the high reflexes. I do not even have the strength to stand, Aso saw this, let me sit down, he went out to find another doctor for me. The doctor took an instrument and pinched my finger. He took one look at the instrument and said: Take her to the next room. I realized later that the instrument didn't show anything, which meant that I couldn't measure the oxygen saturation in my body anymore. So scary!

? Aso took me to the other room, I thought I had to lie down, or the doctor had experience and told me to sit and take the oxygen, saying it worked better. The doctor inserted the tube from the oxygen tank into my nostrils, and after only ten minutes or so, my eyes opened and my headache and nausea were gone. I told the doctor that I would return to Chengdu in the morning, but the doctor said, "You are suffering from severe hypoxia, after this inhalation, the oxygen will last for at most one and a half hours, and after that, your high altitude sickness symptoms will appear again. Moreover, there is little vegetation in this place, and the air will be even thinner between 1:00 and 6:00 at night, so you should leave this place immediately. Otherwise, you can only carry an oxygen tank on your back, and you can't carry it even if I ask you to! I was speechless. When Aso help me finish the registration and payment procedures, the total **** tossed about half an hour, we returned to the hotel.

? I immediately contacted my family, who also freaked out. "Chartered car back to Chengdu, how much money!" So Aso helped find another chartered car. A price of 2000 yuan. The money is just a figure of speech, but the life is the most important thing.

? I just finished sucking oxygen, everything is normal, light as a swallow, agile movement, voice is also much higher. But the doctor said this situation can only last one and a half hours. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it. What is a race against time? What is fast and furious? What is a victory called retreat and a feat called escape? This time I experienced all of them.

I did my homework before I came: plateau reaction and each person for the lack of oxygen tolerance is certainly related. Because the plateau reaction is due to people in the plateau area oxygen thin environment, the body for the lack of oxygen and the discomfort symptoms. If the human body is more tolerant to hypoxia, the plateau reaction will be relatively weak; if the tolerance to hypoxia is not strong, the plateau reaction will be more obvious. Therefore, there is a clear relationship between the plateau reaction and the individual differences of each person. But in the plains it is difficult to prejudge the tolerance of each person for the plateau reaction, and whether the plateau reaction will occur, only to the plateau area, we can know the severity of this situation.

? After this time, I seem to have tasted the feeling of people dying from suffocation and lack of oxygen. Headache, nausea, chest tightness, vomiting and diarrhea, limb weakness, can not move, eyes closed tightly, the brain from clear to fuzzy, until unconsciousness. I hadn't gotten to the point of losing consciousness yet, but I truly felt no desire and no ability to fight or resist at all. I learned that the tour guide said you can't fall asleep when you feel bloated and drowsy, you have to be awake to fight it. That sounds scary and terrifying. Maybe my case wouldn't be serious enough to kill me, but who dares to try, who dares to gamble? Among the many members of the group, just after entering the scenic area, some people had difficulty breathing, their faces were gray and their lips were black, so they began to inhale the canned oxygen they had bought. Almost everyone has a headache symptoms, but people can carry. Some people vomited and had diarrhea, and then they were fine. There was also a friend of the group who woke up after two minutes of shock at the top of the mountain and came back to life, which is simply amazing. Other people even if there are symptoms, can still walk, wash, sleep, but also all have an appetite to eat ...... but I just want to lie down and do not move. Leave is my only choice, and help me only Aso.

? Our later trip there are: a hike: along the wooden trestle to find the Pearl Sea; 100,000 acres of green poplar forest, in the autumn colorful; a night stay in the village of Yading: in the isolation of the small village, to feel the bright starry sky in the autumn; a lake exploration: to explore the amazing five-color sea and the milk sea. A pilgrimage to the sacred mountain: the Xanoduoji sacred mountain (to the Luojiong cattle field, where the serene golden grassland, Yangmaiyong and Xanoduoji sacred mountain); and stay in a Tibetan home, taste the whole mutton hand-scrubbed rice barley wine, and Tibetan friends together jumping potshoops, feel the hospitality of the Danba Tibetans ......? But what about that? The group to go, pay money, people also went, but the body can not eat can not stand to carry. Besides, I do not know the scenic area behind there is no hospital ah ambulance station and so on. Only to the first attractions on the road back home, their own chartered car not to mention, but also to pay the liquidated damages. Injustice? No. Compared to struggling in pain and not knowing what will happen later, I would rather spend some money. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to afford to pay for it!

? Some people say, if you love a person, and he (she) to go to Inaccessible Yading, because, the eyes in paradise; if you hate a person, take him (her) to go to Inaccessible Yading, because, the body in hell.

? But I have to say, some people don't have such a chance. The driver who sent us back to Chengdu from Xinduqiao said that he is a Tibetan from Xinduqiao, and transporting tourists in his private car is one of his economic sources. Today is the second time he is taking tourists to Chengdu. At most, he has to make three round trips a day on the Sichuan-Tibet route on National Highway 318. One way on 450 kilometers, the most difficult is to go over the elevation of more than 4000 Mt. In fact, I personally do not have any basic disease, usually love sports, running, playing badminton table tennis, are commonplace, but to the altitude of more than 3,000 places, laughter and singing, cheering and jumping, jumping and running, romance and surprise, and what art cells ...... all disappeared. The eyes are part of the body, simply can not open, so there is only hell.

? In the overnight return to Chengdu on the Sichuan-Tibet route, until back home, high reflexes make me physically exhausted, and then the beautiful scenery has no temptation for me. I only thought of leaving this place and returning to my family. Just after passing Ya'an, I had an appetite, and when I returned home, everything was normal, but I was still not very talkative and active, which seemed to have hurt my vitality. When I saw the photos sent out by my groupmates, I seemed to have the feeling of dizziness and lightheadedness again. This could be the after-effects of high altitude sickness. I am not yet eliminated, but the strength of the words still, this article to thank the guide Aso, but also to record this can be said to be an embarrassing trip to escape from death and the pain of the unforgettable experience!

? I remember Yip Delfin after she wrote "meet the good self", and then recommended her new book "we will eventually meet love and loneliness", there is such a paragraph expression: in fact, each of us have to understand that we ourselves is the most important, we ourselves is the center of the world. The recognition, approval, and appreciation of outsiders are actually unimportant. Know who you are, know where you are, know what you like, and return to yourself is the meaning of your life. To live the dream is a human act full of hope and temptation, passion and vigor. It is impossible not to, should also be more efforts. But there are some dreams, to go round must be measured, stop. Therefore, some dreams, really not everyone can fulfill. Some dreams, you can only choose to give up!
