Niu Ge Westward Journey (October 26): Depart from Ruoqiang County at 9 am, pass through the Tarim Basin, Lop Nur and Taklamakan Desert, go west along the Tarim River, from the 31st Regiment of Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps to the The 36th regiment finally arrived at Korla City, the capital of Bayingoleng Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, at 7:30 p.m. The Populus euphratica forest and the lake in the desert along the way are very beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. In this uninhabited area of more than 400 kilometers, several generations of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps have used their own hands to turn the desert into a fertile cotton field. Along the way, people from the Corps can be seen collecting cotton, and a large number of cotton tractors are dragging huge carriages slowly on the road. A classmate of mine at university returned to his hometown of Bazhou to work as soon as he graduated. For more than 30 years, starting from the planning committee of the year, he has successively served in various departments such as finance, development and reform, environmental protection, and united front. He has been diligent and dedicated to the cause of national prosperity. It's worth to admire. Cai and I were born in the same year, the same month, and the same day. We celebrate our birthdays together in school, which is very rare. He is a good athlete. He plays basketball and football very well. He is the main player in the department. I am only in the team. We both play guards. We cooperate with each other tacitly. I pass him the ball as soon as I get it and rarely shoot myself. When we met in his hometown today, it was inevitable to drink to our heart's content. We finished a bottle of 52-degree 3-jin liquor, one catty per person. Therefore, I forgot to write in the diary after drinking, so I made it up today. Cai is currently in charge of the united front work of the state party committee, and has a lot to do with me in making 56 ethnic documentaries. With his help and matchmaking, I have great confidence in making a good film in Xinjiang. I will use all my strength these days Can take a good photo of the local folk customs. (to be read)
