In the northwest of China map, owns 147000 acres of land Wan Baochuan farm is a tiny little place. It existed for thousands of years, there have no historical record. Famous time from the 1950 s, that is, when the great leap forward in 1958, the central issued a "development of mountainous area, construction of mountainous area, XiangShan District into", aroused the people to develop Wan Baochuan ambition, state-run Wan Baochuan farm was born. Set up in April that year, namely into production in June, was built when the grain productive hong thai travel , also to support a large number of the era of pioneers. Geographically speaking, it is located in the upstream of river, gv 10 county of southwest border, qianyang county of shaanxi province in the south bay ridge village, west is thyme until the regionalization of the vast mountains, the east is the famous ruins of the ancient secret must be the best in town. In addition to the north is a shimmering of river water, three sides are endless mountains and rivers. Thirty years ago when I was in high school, one day on the road, think of "soul hunter" inside the wide into the description of the far south mountain seclusion, imitated the each line of a poem don't rhyme: "qianshanmohe deep exploration of the misty rain thin fallen. Tender fragrance mountains, beautiful pheasant, tits goose. Liao liao chirping sound amazing mei", the old, memory is not complete. But finally hong thai travel , from a view of a pure scholar recorded the Mid-Autumn season and quiet beautiful scenery. That s, young I often like to travel between the mountains and rivers, looked at the red colors colors of shandan spend trance, smell the faint smell of grass, taste all kinds of wild fruit, sitting on the site's hillside. When the weather is sunny, folds of mountains floating above a layer of blue smoke, so up to the sky, he and prosperous one. A sudden change in the weather, the dark clouds over the horizon, direct pressure peak, the momentous upheaval to full ErFeng. Let my young age is full of loneliness and magic. Mention Wan Baochuan, is the most easy to think of my father hong thai travel . Father is the birthday of the lunar August 3, 1941, in 1958 at the time of graduate towards the better, go directly to the newly-built Wan Baochuan on agriculture in the high school. Because there is no middle school, at that time, the county besides county one like we can't afford to this kind of small-scale peasant family also. This school and became his best place to go, and many classmates here labor while reading, temporize to join the tide of Wan Baochuan farm construction. But it is the unforeseen, after half a year, in August 1958, 47 years old grandpa died of an accident, the foot in the home grandma and brother-in-law have no way of life, Father can only give up less than a year of school home work. Thus ended the Wan Baochuan study career. How many times later, in his father's words reveal the time want to stay and to the life regret to repent, perhaps is the life, no one could have foreseen, cannot be changed. Of my dad was also starting from the age of 17, he silently to undertake the important task of raising a youngest son, by an ideal scholar into a genuine farmers, presumably Wan Baochuan bring his dream paradise road will be there for him now.
