The autumn in Kubuqi, especially the sunset, is so beautiful that people are fascinated by it. On September 17, 2018, the first desert hiking tour of life is about to begin.
When I experienced desert hiking for the first time, I was fully armed and pretended to be professional. My friends from the Charity College laughed at themselves and said, "Because it is too unprofessional, so I have to look professional on the equipment." It's the truth!
About 200 people from the Hongji Foundation Philanthropy Institute and Jiangsu Dr. Ba Company’s business partners marched toward the desert. Judging from the equipment, the partners from the Public Welfare Institute obviously look more professional. The organizer of this event has made a thorough support plan for us "delicate" people. There are several supply vehicles and security vehicles, and dozens of post-production support personnel, closely following the large troops on foot in case of emergencies. needs.
Before departure, the organizer gave each person sandproof shoe covers and a nutritional package. In the crowded scene, mutual help started from here. Partners with hiking experience taught inexperienced partners how to put on shoe covers, and even knelt down on one knee to help other partners put on shoe covers correctly.
When my captain knelt down and personally put on my shoe covers, I looked down and saw the top of his head, and a warm current surged through my heart.
Our team named ourselves "Desert Fox", with the slogan "Don't give up, don't give up, persevere to the end and win the first place". Later facts proved that, We did it. There were so many wonderful things that happened in the process. If I were to describe it in chronological order, I would probably be unable to finish it in a few days and nights. I will just tell the story of each person in the team.
Let’s first talk about our captain Wei Chenggang, the secretary-general of the Beijing Alumni Association of the fourth class, a sunny boy, a typical humorous Northeastern language style, and a successful entrepreneur. As mentioned before, when he knelt down on one knee to help me put on my shoe covers, I was warmed by him. He has quite a lot of hiking experience, and also has quite a lot of experience in leading a team. He inspired us (especially me) along the way, overcame the fear of shrinking, strengthened his will, and held the belief of perseverance to the end, leading the whole team to reach the goal as soon as possible. To achieve the goal of "never give up, never give up, persevere to the end and win the first place". In the process of each team competing for the championship, he gave full play to his language talent and vividly expressed our team's mutual help in progress, assistance to friendly teams and various outstanding deeds. After setting up camp, I was still checking whether the camping work was in place until late at night. At dawn the next day, I got up as soon as possible to arrange for everyone to dismantle tents, clean up the camp, etc. Being the Secretary-General is truly a well-deserved one.
There is a very professional photographer in our team - classmate Li Haifeng. Thanks to this, our team has left many beautiful and lasting memories throughout the whole journey. Classmate Haifeng was running back and forth, using his professional eyes to find the scenery and design the best angle for us to take pictures. However, he alone did not appear in the most beautiful photo when he pressed the shutter. Our classmate Haifeng has a very "internationalist" spirit. He not only left a beautiful image for the students of his own team, but also took care of the students of other teams. For a while, the two teams started a "battle for Haifeng". Of course, in the end, Haifeng is still our Haifeng, but he also left many records of beautiful moments for other students.
Haifeng is the "quasi-life committee member" of our class. The self-recommended life committee member is really well-deserved. Not only does he have a "job" in his eyes, he can take care of the students' needs at any time. What's more valuable is that He masters all kinds of little tricks in life, has them at his fingertips, and can solve problems at any time. When camping, from choosing a location to setting up a tent, he showed his careful, tolerant, professional attitude and hands-on ability. From the whole drive back to Beijing, we coordinated the safety, routes and parking arrangements of the three cars, until the responsible act of sending the classmates home in the early morning, which was really driven by a sense of responsibility. Through this "benefiting journey together", classmate Li Haifeng has become a well-deserved life committee member who has become a full member in my mind.
There is a young Shandong couple in the team. The boy is Yu Fei, who has a very artistic beard. After a detailed chat, we found out that he was a soldier. Along the way, we sensed his masculine temperament. The girl Che Jing is a beautiful long-legged girl, a real artistic young woman, a soprano professional, and a young jeweler.
This beautiful couple is a perfect match, they have the same spirit of friendship, and they take care of their teammates in every possible way. I feel the deepest feeling about it. Even though I am exhausted, it is the young couple who pull me forward and push me to reach one peak after another. This pair of good-looking men and beautiful women played a huge role in improving the appearance of the entire team in our team’s beautiful photos.
Everyone always sees a boy holding my hand, and the little girl teasingly calls him "brother-in-law". This is such a wise and tacit love. The boy is the flag bearer of our team. With his experience as a soldier, he fully understands the significance of the flag to the army. The words hanging in his mouth are "I am with the flag, and the flag is with the position." Holding the flag all the way, protecting the flag all the way, this is The character of a soldier.
There is also a man with glasses, Xie Shang, a scientist in the aerospace department, an unattainable high-level career. Coincidentally, he actually did aerospace together with one of my seniors, *** The project is also very fateful. The stability of a scientist is fully demonstrated in him. He doesn't talk much, is down-to-earth and hard-working, and never loses a step along the way. He is very in tune with any occasion and cooperates with everyone. When you look at him, he will give you a warm smile, giving you a warm and solid feeling. (First left in the picture below)
After talking about the boys, I would like to introduce especially the girls in the team. Let me first talk about Wu Wanfang, a strange woman with "small stature and great energy". We all call her Fangfang. , a Jiangnan woman, considered a strong player in the marketing industry, and a mother of two babies. As we march, we don’t talk much, use a cane, and take steady steps step by step in a professional manner.
I secretly took a photo of her back with a big backpack on her back. It gave people a very determined feeling, which was very similar to her spirit in her career.
When setting up camp, she showed her strong communication skills and extremely meticulous logical thinking when booking camping equipment. She showed her strong hands-on ability and neatness when setting up the tent. Amazing. The embodiment of motherhood in her is a desert land with no signal. She has to find ways to find a strong signal point to talk to her children. The tenderness in her words really touched me. As my colleagues drove back to Beijing, their superb driving skills reminded me of the phrase "women are not inferior to men".
Zhao Yan, another strange woman in the team, has a tall figure. From the first time I met her, I could feel her energy, very professional dress and equipment. , I thought she was just as showy as me, but after two days of experience, I really experienced her outdoor professionalism, and I really admire her.
Just one piece of professional equipment impressed all our classmates. After sitting down for dinner, she took out a set of outdoor gas stoves from the backpack that came with the vehicle. She brought her own small gas tank, lit the fire and started boiling water for everyone to make tea. You know, in the wild, after we had just walked through the desert, we were simply fascinated by her petty bourgeoisie. Even in a harsh environment, she still maintained an elegant life style. As a woman, I have fallen in love with her.
What made me even more stunned was that when setting up the tent, she used her own very professional tent and all the items, and arranged everything quickly and neatly. She has a perfect fusion of inner fire and outer indifference.
There is a non-staff member Zhang Liangmin in the team, a quasi-squad leader (later promoted to a full-time squad leader), a soldier, an expert in tea tasting and collection, an investor, a Shandong native, and his accent has not changed. At some point, he joined from another team. We said we recruited him, but he just smiled slyly, making it difficult to figure out. Monitor Zhang is very insightful, probably due to his profession. Of course, he is also very considerate, observing and understanding trends in detail. When we set up camp after dinner, he naturally returned to our camp. He was equipped professionally but not professionally. He followed the two strange women in our team and entered the professional world. He gained a lot. In fact, that night, the other four of us had a night chat around the fire with squad leader Zhang. He told us many professional investment methods and techniques, and we gained a lot. Because we unanimously decided not to hike the next day that night, the five of us kidnapped the young couple back to the hotel after dawn, thus losing the glorious honor of persisting to the end. Squad Leader Zhang was identified as an undercover agent who had infiltrated our team. (First right in the picture below)
I am a professional lawyer with the least professional image of a lawyer. I have a wide range of interests and a lot of love.
The key to making up your mind to participate in desert hiking is that this is a charity trip. I never exercise on weekdays. I only relied on a little bit of physical fitness gained from the mandatory subway trip the week before to bravely embark on the desert journey. As a result, I became the "backbeat" with the worst physical fitness in the team. At the beginning of the trip, I was in an excited mood and sang joyfully all the way...but after walking for a while, my feet gradually became heavier, my steps became difficult, and the singing became weaker. At a glance, I saw the first red flag flying in the distance, hopeless. Feeling suddenly. At the critical moment, the young couple mentioned above helped them all the way and reached the base camp with firm belief and perseverance. I was the most unprofessional person, and the colorful equipment made me the most eye-catching scene.
When setting up tents for camping, I basically benefited from the glory of my professional teammates, but I also improved to a bit professional in the unprofessional work. It was the first time in my life that I slept in a tent overnight. I could hardly stand up all night. My whole body was so sore that I vowed that I would never camp in the wild again. I don’t know if I will stop swearing in the future, and I don’t know if I will fall in love with the outdoors in the future.
Many interesting things happened along the way. For example, the second team tried to instigate rebellion against our professional photographer Li Haifeng. Later, we used the "lure method" to reorganize the second team and the two teams merged into one. 1. We met the lost flag of another team on the way, so we raised the big flag to regain the position in flying terms; Captain Wei Chenggang picked up many discarded mineral water bottles along the way and hung them all over his back to become a landscape; our team member and commander-in-chief, Mr. Classmate Sha and his wife, like the army headquarters and logistics department, directed the advance and tidied up the battlefield, settled all the "old, weak, sick and disabled" and "deserters", and finally returned to the army in time. The happiest thing is to "encounter" Teacher Nicole and the photographer team on the way. We gathered around the precious off-road vehicle and took all kinds of beautiful photos.
Classmate Wei Chenggang did a very good job as a male model and performed wildly. Man, this scene seems like other teams don’t have this opportunity.
As mentioned above, our team members, Sha Yanming and his wife, who are also the commander-in-chief of the large force and the director of logistics support, played a decisive role in this event, planning the entire event in advance, implementing details and process control during the process, and all The aftermath work was done very meticulously and thoughtfully. What is especially commendable is that not only did they take care of the entire large force, but they also did not leave our small team behind. It was really in place at both the macro and micro levels. Mrs. Sha, the military advisor, also did a thorough job of coordination and implementation. People say, "Behind every successful man, there must be an excellent woman." Mr. Sha and his wife are just that. The love between the two also makes us envious.
