We cracked one open, and it had a strong resinous aroma, different from the usual cream-cooked pine nuts. I sat there, finding more pine nuts, reluctant to leave. Looking for pine nuts is a bit like picking mushrooms - once you find the first one, the rest will follow.

Bingbing who recommended it. Bingbing said Captain Tie offers sailing experiences, and she had seen our poster at Qiuyuan Cafe. Captain Tie was very interested, so he scanned the QR code to learn more about joining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e Out of caution, I replied, “At this moment, I don’t want to add new content right away. Can we get in touch on WeChat first?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e Because I trusted Bingbing, I visited the public account \"Necktie Sailing\" and read Tie's personal story, including his project to restore a sailboat. Between the lines, I glimpsed another person's world and a field that was unfamiliar to me. It also challenged some of my preconceptions: in China and elsewhere, activities such as sailing or golf are often seen as symbols of status, and this alone can attract people to participate. His articles have no such airs, instead, they reflect his sincere love for sailing and its meaning in his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eA little over an hour later, we met the next day at the Three Pagodas’ Surakarta. Tie had brought his son along, and both were relaxed. We discussed our respective endeavors, especially his Labora sailboat restoration project, which was imaginative and inclusive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e I was impressed that he used to provide escort services for sailboat owners who were sailing far away - it was an interesting job. Unlike bicycles or motorcycles, which can be transported back after sailing, sailboats need to be navigated to return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e In the midst of my hesitation and uncertainty, clarity emerged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e The next day, I arrived at Tie’s base on the farm, a small body of water surrounded by lush vegetation. Tie’s wife and son, Haibao, were there, as well as a teenager he had mentored during his summer at a vegetable community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe small white sailboat had only a sail, a rudder and a stabilizer, almost like a toy. When I boarded the sailboat, Tie advised me not to rush to steer, but to feel the wind direction and adjust the sails accordingly. At first, the wind was calm, but then the wind picked up and the sailboat began to glide. Teenager Haibao, his mother and I sailed in different directions along the lake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e I realized that large multi-sail sailboats were likely to have evolved from this simple model. This simple sailboat experience is probably better - to really experience it yourself, feel the wind, and experience the operation independently, rather than just watching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e The greatest value of this experience is the initial understanding, immersion and direct sensory experience. Most importantly, someone guides you to understand this field in the right way and may take you further into the world outside of your daily life and gain more experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e I think Captain Tie is such a person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e Therefore, we will launch this experience at Cangshan Hiking Home.

It restarts your childlike curiosity about everything in the world. Before that, I think the best time is on the road. All non-daily feelings are fresh, exciting, thrilling and impressive. But as long as you are interested in observing nature, you can get fresh experiences every day without traveling far. Ordinary walks near home may also bring surprises. The natural world is so vast. There are always some beautiful things and wonderful details in plants, animals, rocks, soil, clouds... You have never noticed them. In other words, nature provides endless possibilities for aesthetics and exploration. As Thoreau, the pioneer of American nature literature, said: \"Most natural phenomena... are beyond our lifetime. The beauty of nature we can see is only the part we are willing to appreciate, exactly... People can only see what they care about.\" Becoming a natural observer means that you will never be bored. Not being bored means a spiritual richness that does not rely on external things.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 24px; padding: 0px; max-width: 100%; box-sizing: border-box !important; overflow-wrap: break-word !important; clear: both; min-height: 1em; font-family: mp-quote, -apple-system-font, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Helvetica Neue', 'PingFang SC', 'Hiragino Sans GB', 'Microsoft YaHei UI', 'Microsoft YaHei', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(26, 26, 26, 0.3); text-size-adjust: auto;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eIn today's era of material abundance, but people are generally anxious and lacking a sense of meaning, the comfort that nature brings to the soul is becoming increasingly indispensable.

Once when I went to Fengyu to attend the market, I chatted with a vendor selling pickled plums and learned that he was also from Songhe Village. As soon as I said that I knew Brother Mao and that we were from the same village, he immediately praised his local honey. This left a deep impression on me. More than 40 years ago, Brother Mao's father was in his prime and took red soil from the mountain to make bricks, and used red soil bricks to build beehives and huts. It was also the first time for me to see how local honey was cut and tasted fresh honey. The plants on the mountain have different flowering periods, and the types of nectar collected by the bees are also different, also called multi-flower honey, so the fresh honey tasted in each season is also different.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp class=\"\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom; clear: both; min-height: 1em; visibility: visible; box-sizing: border-box !important; overflow-wrap: break-word !important;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: bottom; clear: both; min-height: 1em; visibility: visible; box-sizing: border-box !important; overflow-wrap: break-word !important;\"\u003e \u003cspan class=\"\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; max-width: 100%; visibility: visible; box-sizing: border-box !important; overflow-wrap: break-word !important; font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe plums in Eryuan come later because of the climate and the altitude.
