Zheng Jun, who had never been to Lhasa before, wrote the well-known and deeply rooted song Back to Lhasa. The so-called "return" often means that you have been to a place or even know a place very well, just like we often say "return home".
According to the song, if you return to Lhasa from other places and other directions, what can people meet along the way? The Yarlung Zangbo River, the snowy mountains and grass, the Tanggula Mountain, the saussurea involucrata, the Lama Temple, the pure sky ... Even those who have never been to Tibet will not feel strange if they know a little about Tibet. Zheng Jun, with his own imagination and understanding and yearning for Tibet, wrote these things in combination with his inner feelings, and then sang them out in his high-pitched and distant voice, which made people more fascinated by all this about Tibet.
And this song touched not only the Han audience, but even his Tibetan friends felt that he must have been a Tibetan in his previous life. He kept these things in his heart before he could write them.
This song embodies Zheng Jun's musical talent and expresses his feelings about Tibet, but there are many ordinary people who have no musical talent and are also yearning for Tibet. Even if they can't write a song like Back to Lhasa, they still miss it. So besides the things in the song, what are they yearning for?
For people who love cycling or hiking, what they yearn for most is the route to Tibet, which is also a dangerous road to Tibet. Those who insist on walking from the beginning to the end, they value the feelings along the way, endure the pain, enjoy the scenery and stick to their beliefs, as if they had come all the way to Lhasa. It was a pilgrimage in their hearts.
I sincerely thank the road-building officers and soldiers who sacrificed their lives to build roads into Tibet, and pay tribute to them!
In terms of scenery, there are also beautiful Linzhi, with temples and lakes (including the three sacred lakes like fairyland), the Potala Palace, which is like a temple in the hearts of countless people-even just standing in front of it, will be infinitely moved, and the mountains, such as Mount Everest, the top of the real snow-capped mountains.
Food, including highland barley wine and butter tea sung in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, yak meat, Ciba, sweet tea and yak yogurt ...
Buddhism has to be mentioned in culture, so my friend who believes in Buddhism is more yearning for Lhasa.
no matter how much you do, it's better to go there in person. Remember to protect the fragile and precious ecological environment there when you go, and don't leave anything outside except footprints.
Beautiful and holy Tibet and Lhasa, may they keep this purity forever, and may I really "return" to Lhasa one day.
