The willow tree looks up
The minibus sped through the vast Gobi Desert, and what greeted his eyes were endless dark brown, dark red, grayish yellow, and light green colors. The dark brown was the gravel, the dark red was the red willows, and the grayish-yellow was the undulating sand dunes. Where were the patches of light green? Ask the literary friend beside me-ah, it's Hu Yang!
Taking advantage of the rest of the journey, I walked into a nearby poplar forest. On the vast desert, a forest of poplar trees suddenly appeared among the yellow sand dunes. It looked grand and lonely, and it was easy to arouse people's reverence.
In the forest, I carefully observed each poplar tree. The tallest among them was five or six meters, and the shortest was only two or three meters. They grew together, and each tree grew strong and strong. Even each small branch seemed strong and awe-inspiring. The bark of the tree trunk was cracked and was grayish white or grayish brown. The crown of the tree was wide and round like an umbrella, and the leaves were grayish green. Under the noon sunlight, it showed the unique brilliance and exuberance of the Wilderness. Deep in the poplar forest, I suddenly felt a sense of solemnity. The huge, green, and strangely shaped poplar trees seemed to have spirituality. Some of them were like dragons and snakes, some were like eagles and magpies, some were like leopards and bears, some were like horses, some were like living dinosaurs, giant lizards, crocodiles…Ah! Hu Yang, the life created by the vast desert, the sculpture carved by the vast sand wind, provides me with a broad and boundless imagination.
I felt as if I had stepped onto the moon, and I felt as if the universe had descended into chaos. In the poplar forest, some had obviously aged. The folds of the bark were raised high, and the footprints of time were obvious on them. Some of the trunks had become hollow, but the branches that stretched out in all directions were still green and vigorous. Some had died and fallen, but they still maintained their strong bodies. Some had been buried in the sand dunes, but their tough branches were still stubbornly stretched on the ground, tenaciously guarding the surrounding sand. Come to think of it, Hu Yang's dedication was more than just a lifetime. She had been through so many years, which showed how deep her roots were and how hard her body and bones were. Even if her life stopped and she fell, more of her life still extended to the depths of the earth! With solemnity and admiration, the literary friends began a new journey. My eyes were still searching for Hu Yang, who was far away from the car window. Suddenly, I was surprised to find that there were often small " villages " that appeared at the same time as Hu Yang in my vision. However, the houses seemed a little low, and there was no smoke, rooster crow, or dog bark. A friend from Xinjiang told me," That's not a village. It's a graveyard for ethnic minorities." During my ten-day journey in the vast desert, I saw more of such graves, or more accurately, graves, than villages. Together with oases, rivers, tents, cattle, and sheep, they constituted the beautiful scenery of the Gobi Desert. The lives of the people of all races who were buried underground were a living drama. They had fought, burned, and sacrificed on this land. Therefore, the living carefully maintained these tombs as a way to remember their ancestors.
In Xinjiang, the Uighurs called the tomb "Mazha", the Kazaks seemed to call it "Mazha", the Hui people called it "Gongbei", and the Mongolians called it "Aobao", but the shape of the tomb was different. On the desolate Gobi, I also encountered a very familiar group of tombs that looked like steamed buns. That was the "13th Company" of the Production and Construction Corps. According to the organizational structure of a regiment, there were originally only twelve companies. The people who died in the regiment were jokingly called " transferred to the 13th company." The 13th Company was a pure earth grave. There were no flowers or decorations, only a few poplar trees quietly accompanying them. There was a simple wooden sign in front of the grave, with the names of the dead and their distant hometowns: Henan, Shanghai, Tianjin, Shandong...
There were goshawks circling in the sky, and the minibus continued to move forward at a high speed. Pieces of poplar forests passed by the window, and what came into view were villages. Yes, that was not a village. It was Mazha, Gongbei, and Aobao. It was the 13th Company. They lay quietly in the broad embrace of the foothills of Tianshan Mountain, listening to the call of the wind, the roar of the motor, and the gongs and drums of celebration. Every member of the " village " should have rested peacefully, but their pulse did not stop, just like the tenacious poplar trees. When they were alive, they did not avoid danger, were not afraid of loneliness, and did not choose soil. Even if they fell, their lives continued in the depths of the earth…
[Note] In October 1954, the central government decided that 105,000 officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army stationed in Xinjiang would collectively be transferred to civilian work on the spot to form a production and construction corps to open up wasteland and guard the border.
