Drifting in the country is gradually turning into a mature, rational, and tolerant stage from the early innocent exploration with national spirit.
Thirty years later, the 1986 “China and the United States, the first drift of the Yangtze Riverâ€, which has gradually become silent, was resurfaced because of a letter from a 69-year-old American lady.
She had cancer and wanted to go back to the Yangtze River and publish a memoir that her husband had drifted for the first time. Her husband, Ken Warren, was the first foreigner to obtain the State Council's approval to sell all of his belongings and enter the Yangtze River without returning home. This led to an extremely tragic "Yangtze River Drift" battle. The 10 inexperienced Chinese teams used the simplest equipment to compete with the well-equipped American adventurers for drifting on the Yangtze River. In the circle of friends in the "1986, life and death drifting," Chang Wen, recalled the history of that period when the mighty man broke his wrist and revive.
This drifting took away the lives of 10 Chinese, and then began the magnificent history of river rafting in China.
In 1986, China's rafting years, teams of national teams, private teams, youth teams, and even self-employed people floated in the waters of the Yangtze River. Tax Xiaojie / Contributors People greet the Yangtze River Scientific Expedition Rafting Team at Shanghai Wusongkou Navy Pier. Since time passes, China's drifting technology has reached the international advanced level, and explorers have entered more and more unknown rivers. However, the Yangtze River has long since ceased to be the same year, and the deteriorating ecological environment is worrying.
The forerunners who emerged in 1986 at the beginning of the year gradually turned into scientists and environmentalists of the Yangtze River Research. This is a battle that is full of hidden dangers and deeper meaning.
From that year on, their lives may be destined to be linked to this big river.
In the special plan of "Love of Rivers and Rivers" in November last year, the magazine visited the survivors before and combed the history of river rafting since 1986. The Spartans have passed away, and the object is human. The embarrassed mother river has never stopped the Pentium. "The seaman who witnessed all the incidents in the past, Zi Siming, said:" There was an era where people had love in their hearts. People are unable to stop because of love, so they are attracted by mountains and rivers, deep sea space, and desperately go to explore, much like people are desperate at the extremities that are trapped by circumstances.
Survivors who have participated in long drifts. Where are they?
86 Survivor 1: Yang Yong “In the past 30 years I have traveled all over the great rivers in the western region, and have also gone to some of the major rivers in the world, trying to find a good strategy for the development and utilization of rivers.†– Yang Yong, with the rise of hydropower stations, the river The ecological and geological environment has brought great impact. Since the construction of the hydropower station, many major geological disasters have occurred along the Jinsha River. Once the dam is built, the associated river sections lose the possibility and significance of drifting. Changes in the environment have attracted the attention of many river drifters. After the long float, Yang Yong resigned from the technical work of the organization and devoted himself entirely to the study of the Yangtze River. It has been 29 years since.
Yang Yong, who studies geology, believes that the use of rafting and exploration is the best way to investigate the geological conditions of the rivers. For this reason, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has become the most important part of his life. In the era of roads and cars, Yang Yong drifted and hike to inspect the Yangtze River and other western rivers. Every year, he spends at least half of his time on the road. In the wilderness, he spends the other half of his time earning money to support his next scientific visit. Today, he is well aware of the rapid changes in the Yangtze River and the western rivers and has mastered the first-hand accumulation of geological and human resources.
In 1998, after undergoing changes in the sediment concentration and abnormal flow of the Jinsha River, Yang Yong predicted that there would be rare floods in the year. In the past 29 years, I do not know how many early warnings and tactical advantages Yang Yong has made, but they have all been ignored. However, he has not given up carpet-type investigations and firm cries.
He is not an NGO, not an angry youth, not an explorer. Now he is a calm and pursuing scholar, a folk scientist who uses his own courageous exploration and cross-border thinking. His understanding of the motherland was not so abstract and passionate. He used his feet to measure his place.
Over the years, Yang Yong, who has been on the path of expedition to science, initiated the creation of the Hengduan Mountain Research Society. “The purpose is to conduct independent research and study on the geological and environmental issues of major engineering projects with independent people and to express independent opinions.†can not stop. "Beginning in 2000, in conjunction with the development of the western region of the country, I proposed the concept of building the China Grand Shangri-La National Park in the Sichuan-Tibet-Tibet region, and built a national park group to coordinate the integration of tourism economy and natural ecological and cultural traditions within the region. Aviation Network.Organizes or participates in the inspection and demonstration of the main symbolic resources of the Sichuan-Yunnan Tibet, development planning, etc."
In recent years, the research on the source glaciers of the Great Rivers in the Qingyi Plateau has been carried out in the context of global climate change. Sanjiangyuan has continued to follow the trend of hydrological potential and ecosystem evolution in the context of climate change, and provided advice and suggestions on the development of the ecotourism industry in the Sanjiangyuan Region.
86 Rafting Survivor II: Feng Chun (幺哥)
“The long drift made Feng Chun become an explorer from an ordinary worker. He is now one of the longest people in the world. Every time before important water rafting, Feng Chun is to dedicate those who have suffered in the past drifting. Teammates.
Feng Chun was the helmsman who drifted long in 1986. As the creator of China's drift adventures, Feng Chun's footprints have almost passed through China's major rivers. He was elected torchbearer of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Torch Relay and won the honorary title of “China Contemporary Xu Xiake†in 2009. He successfully floated through the Yangtze River, Yarlung Tsangpo River, Lancang River, Yalong River, Han River, and Colorado River in the United States. He also performed several times at the China Drift Contest. Excellent results.
According to Feng Chun’s words, unscrupulously choosing to go out of state-owned units and choosing to go out on their own is all due to their love for drifting and the long drift complex that cannot be erased. In 1986, when he continued to float, he was one of the main players. At the time he was a workshop worker at the Panzhihua Iron and Steel Machine Factory. He inadvertently read from the newspaper that Yu Maoshu was alone in the Yangtze River. Unfortunately, he was killed. The book's spirit and behavior are deeply shocked.
Feng Chun said that people of that era lived a calm and flat life, everything was arranged by the unit. Go to work every day, get off work and go home. “This book by Yan Mao is undoubtedly a kind of impact on my unimpressive life. Just as I had been looking forward to for a long time, I did not hesitate to ask for leave from the unit and ran Chengdu to find the drifting team.â€
After a long drift in 1986, Feng Chun also drifted in the Yangtze River in 1993, 2001, 2002, and 2006. In 2004, he led the team to a rafting expedition to the Colorado River Canyon. “After we successfully drifted the Yangtze River, at least hundreds of people have been drifting to the Yangtze River for more than 20 years. Almost every few years, some people will be organized to float again. It’s like paying homage to that year’s feats. Long drift will never be forgotten."
Feng Chun said that his own fate has also been completely changed. He has changed from an ordinary worker to an explorer, and he has always insisted on promoting the drifting movement. It is the long drift spirit of “courage to explore and pursue the truth†that supports him. Until now.
Today, the total length of Feng Chunbu’s fleet has been nearly 10,000 kilometers. It is one of the longest people in the world and is called by the friends in the circle. Before each important water rafting, Feng Chun had to pay homage to the teammates who had died in the past.
He is currently the general advisor of Yushu Municipal Government Rafting. He has been dedicated to promoting the drifting movement and has successfully organized large-scale activities such as “Drifting in China†to allow more people to participate in the sport safely and happily. He said: "There are many young people who love to drift in China's new generation. They are ahead of us in terms of physical ability and philosophy. Now the domestic drift environment is also good. We tell them as much as possible about our experience and lessons."
86 Rafting Survivors 3: Yang Xin
In 1986, Yang Xin, who was selected to attack the most treacherous tiger jumper in the Tiger Leaping Gorge on a sealed boat, stayed in the source of the Yangtze River since the end of the Yangtze River rafting. During the investigation and photographing of the source of the Yangtze River, he discovered the ecological environment of the Yangtze River source. Problems, glaciers receded, degraded grassland, and wild animals were mass-killed, they turned from explorers and photographers to environmentalists. They committed themselves to the protection of the Kukocili Tibetan antelope in the north of the Yangtze River. Two environmental protection stations have been established.
2009 Jinsha River rafting tour
Beginning in April 2009, this is a journey close to nature, and it is also a geological, environmental, and humanistic survey.
Participants include: Founder of Shanshui Nature Conservation Center, Prof. Lv Zhi Lv Zhi American drifting expert Travis Winn Chinadialogue Editor-in-Chief Liu Jianqiang Famous environmentalist Ma Jun Vanke Real Estate Chairman and explorer Wang Shi Chinese Academy of Engineering Deng Zhong Han Xin The Founding Partner of Root Capital Zeng Qiang, a long drift team member of Yang Yong in 1986 "Liu Jianqiang:" Everyone has been protecting the Jinsha River to protect the Tiger Leaping Gorge. As an environmentalist, do you understand this river you protect? Its beauty and value can be felt by drifting. You will feel that you are living with it. "Wang Shi said:" Before we all looked down at the river from the mountains, we now look at the mountains and rivers from the river. This is a completely different feeling. He said: "I did not expect this unpredictable harvest to be greater than I thought." many. My biggest gain is how to form an environmental force in the society and how to make the trickle flow into a river. â€
87 years later, Jazz Ice is the first to complete the canoe yellow drift. Jazz Ice has been constantly exploring different rivers and rivers. On June 30, 2013, Jazz Ice, a new generation of explorers from China, gathered in dozens of places in Beijing, Guangzhou, and Hunan. Boat enthusiasts set off for a new trip to the Yellow River.
This was the first time since the Yellow Drift in 1987 that the team had been rafting to explore the Yellow River in this way. Although there were several rapids canyons along the way, no one was injured in the drift. The activity lasted for 72 days. The length of the river rafting was more than 3,600 kilometers. There were 34 boat cyclists who continued to participate in the Yellow River rafting activities along the Yellow River. This activity means that the domestic river rafting exercise has reached the international advanced level, both from equipment to concept. At the sixth "China Outdoor Golden Rhinoceros Award", Jazz Ice won the "Best River Runner from the Yangtze River to the Tongtian River" for the best adventure activity award. Jazz Ice said: "The significance of drift adventure is to experience the river's breathing and pulsations. I believe rivers are also alive."
In 2015, Semmitt's singles floated the Yellow River “Shenzhou Xia Lian†couple became popular
From May 1st, 2015, the complete expedition for the explorer Semmitt who did not support the canoe across the Qiongzhou Strait, the Bohai Strait, the ferry across Hainan Island, Thailand-Cambodia cross-country trans-ocean crossings, and the single-passing Pearl River. From the source of the Yellow River in Qinghai Province, Bayan Hara, descended by a small canoe, and challenged a new world record - a single person drifting 5464 kilometers of the Yellow River.
The wife Antelope drives the logistical support. The couple was called by the netizen as the "Shenzhou Xiong Lian." While sharing the beautiful scenery along the Yellow River, they also carried out the impact of echinococcosis in the Tibetan area and the post-disaster policies after the Yushu earthquake on the local people, ecological migration due to grassland desertification, crazy Cordyceps sinensis excavation, and the Yellow River. A series of surveys on issues such as coastal pollution.
Fans from Laojiao kayaking rewarded the Irtysh River with the beautiful autumn pole. He used a three-wheeled motorcycle to travel around the world with his wife and children, ride all the way from Southeast Asia, and reach the North Pole through the Middle East and Europe. Each fall, the old pole will bring his wife pig and his son Simba, as well as some friends and teammates recruited, to drift along the Irtysh River in Xinjiang. The Irtysh River is the only river in China that flows into the Arctic Ocean. It originates from the southwest slope of the Altai Mountains, flows northwest along the southern slope of the Altai Mountains, and enters Kazakhstan in the west of Habahe County.
In the autumn, the poplar trees on the banks of the river are golden, and the Danxia landforms of the colorful beach are brightly colored. There are swarms of swans dancing on the river. The river level is low and the scenery is beautiful. The boat is slowly flowing downstream and it is beautiful. Pleasant experience.
Domestic river rafting history
In 1998, after a lapse of 12 years, the river rafting campaign was launched again. From June to August of that year, the Pearl River rafting expedition in China drifted across the Pearl River and suffered no casualties. From August to September of that year, the first Chinese women's Yangtze River Scientific Expedition rafting expedition marched into Jiang Gudi Glacier at an altitude of 5,400 meters, drifting to the Weihe Bridge, and there were no casualties. From September to December of that year, China's Brahmaputra rafting expedition swam from Jiangyuan Gema Yangzong Glacier and drifted 1,500 kilometers to the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon Kuppai Township. After a treacherous torrent, it changed its course along the river to trek through Yarlung Zangbo. canyon. The 1998 Yarlung Tsangpo river rafting, the completion of the double boat and the rushing of the dangerous beach marked that China's drifting expedition has become mature and rational. On the occasion of the return of Macao in 1999, the Yellow River source scientific expedition expedition team consisting of more than 20 members from mainland, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan in the three places carried out rafting expeditions in the source region of the Yellow River and carried out a scientific investigation of the ecological environment of the source region of the Yellow River. , and jointly erected the "Yellow River Source" monument. In 1998, on the basis of the United States and China jointly carrying out rafting on the Nu River in Yunnan, from September to October 2001, a rafting expedition was conducted on the Nu River in China and the United States. From September to October 2002, China and the United States jointly conducted a rafting expedition in the Renqingding Valley section of the Yarlung Tsangpo River and the Lhasa River. From September to October 2003, a team of more than 20 scientists, explorers and reporters from China visited the Han River Eco-Cultural Exploratory Rafting Expedition to conduct rafting expeditions in an area about 900 kilometers above the Danjiangkou Reservoir in the upper reaches of the Han River. It also examined the status of the ecological and cultural environment along the Yangtze River. In 2004, 10 members of the Chinese rafting expedition experienced 15 days of wind and rain, and successfully completed the 500-kilometer-long white water rapids of the Grand Canyon in the United States, marking the beginning of a drifting adventurer in China who began to look around the world. In the 2004 Colorado Valley in the United States, the team members are at the beach. From the early intrepid adventures with intense challenge to the color and national spirit, to more and more exchanges and integration at home and abroad, China's rivers and rivers pioneers are maturing. We are young and young, especially when we are young, like the gallops and impacts in the canyon. Whether it is the precipice of the mountains or the rivers that flow from them, we roar all the time, fearless or even saucy, hurried, even narrow and cramped. All the way forward and forward. Treat people to middle age, just as we drift into the middle stream. It became wider, and it was a little thicker and calmer.... Perhaps, when we were old, we would reach the holy place of our dreams just like the downstream and estuary we once saw. There is no worry, only the hug with dreams and reincarnation.
