Crossroad: Dream of  Freedom

By: Lü Yang


Change your life for money when you are young and change money for life after you are middle-age, it is bad business.Old brother Liu who is nearly seventy years old picked up the vacuum cup with red tea in it and suggested his wife who was beside him to drink with him. The frozen Luanhe River was lying still beside them. The field, mountains and silver birches in the distant were covered in snow. The self-heating rice in the cross-country car was steaming. The white prairie seemed endless. The red scarf of was his wife obvious.

Without any doubt, fortune is more exhilarating than health in this era. In a city made of steel bars, cement, and wheels, this view is tempting.

I met old brother Liu and Nengfei in a café which was located among the tall buildings in CBD, Beijing. They knew each other because of cross-country. They are best friends and brothers, but they were born in different generations. Old brother Liu is nearly seventy years old, and he is still strong. Nengfei is a little over thirty years old, and he is enthusiastic. People who like cross-country are always young. Old brother Liu doesnt like his companions call him uncle.said by Nengfei with a smile. They are ordinary people who follow the law, respect the customs of the people along the way. They are humble, cautious and gentle. They hate Mr. Six, and they hate people who call themselves and impersonate Mr. Six more.

Why do you drive cars by yourself and travel with young people at his age? I asked old brother Liu. He said that he and his wife wanted to travel without a plan, face the sea with spring blossoms, and live a happy and simple life and to live in harmony with nature; and people have to have youthful spirits when they are aged. So he and his wife drove around China, America, and Russia themselves. They wouldnt be in Beijing this soon if they didnt miss their little grandson.

Nengfei is less free comparing to old brother Liu. His job is his main key. He brings his kid to school before he goes to work after he wakes up in the early morning and eats a simple lunch at work. His wife picks their kid at school in the afternoon and cooks dinner. His life is routine, calm and sweet. Nengfei enjoys traveling in his cross-country car the most.

Their original intention is to get back to nature and people who join cross-country have rules. When you open their trunk, they must have a garbage can and trash bags. Otherwise, they will be criticized by their companions without mercy. Different from other Chinese with ill reputations and leave garbage everywhere, all the people who join cross-country must follow a common discipline: bring nothing but photos and leave nothing but footprints.

Nengfei told me about a story happened in another cross-country circle not long ago: one cross-country lover dragged down a huge branch of a tree with his cross-country car to light a bonfire in the desert. Everyone knows him because his companion took photos. It is very difficult for a tree to grow in the desert. Rages of all the cross-country lovers were ignited. The flame nearly melted him. No one sympathized him, and there were only condemnations. He was embarrassed and apologized in public. He promised to all cross-country lovers that he would plant ten saplings beside the tree that he had harmed and make sure the saplings are alive. The supervisors are all cross-country lovers and supervise five years. A promise is a promise, let me pay my respect to the one who promised and the supervisors. One flower is a world. If everyone knows their mistake like him, then it is the luck of our country.

Old brother Liu and Nengfeis cross-country circle involves people from all kinds of industries. There are public servants, freelancers, employees, private company owners, doctors, teachers, painters, airplane engineers and so on. Their Wechat group is called Jinchang Fraternity. There are 400 people in it, and it is a virtual gathering place where they talk basically every day. Jinchang is the name of one model of cross-country vehicle. All the plans come from @everyone in the Wechat group. After they talked and bragged in the Wechat group, it is time for their permanent pact. They load their car with the cross-country gears and bring their wife, son or friend then leave at night after they finished working. The radio on the car reminds the condition of the road ahead and makes fun of people in the team such as Pangzi, Old Chai, Qiang Gao, Hanshao, Schoolmaster, Xingdong, Mountain Monk, etc. They also make fun of their copilot or wife-pilot.

Why do they leave in the dark? What is so attractive to them? Nengfei told me that its the sacred temple in Dolon Nor, the attractive snowfield in Wulan Butong, the fluttering Hada on the oboo with blue flags, the tall sand hill in Hunshandak, the lumber-road in the Mountain Of Luya, the stones of a Bawcock Slope and the hardworking and kind people living beside the Xar Moron river. They want to chase green, be close to grasslands, look up at the sky, touch the wasteland, stand on mountains and blend in nature.

Every time they were out, Qiang Gao was the main photographer. They also need the aerial photos of Dajiang. They want to document the beautiful moments. Those moments support their spiritual home to be eternal. They are optimistic, strong, passionate and they long freedom. They bring the happiness of being close to nature to their normal lives, bring realizations given by nature to their busy work.

The humming engine will take them to the endless horizon. At the end of the sky, the evening glow fly with a lonely duck in parallel, the autumn river is the same hue with the vast sky, and at there, the strong liquor and milk tea become songs, the morin khuur beside the yurt is forever free and playing its song.
