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.

The unattended tea trees had grown much taller than me. It was April, the perfect time for tea buds to sprout, and they were so tempting that I used my shirt jacket to carry some home, dried them naturally on a bamboo tray, and turned them into white tea. In this sense, picking wild tea was probably my first gateway to understanding Cang Mountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Picking wild tea is a kind of mountain game, a rustic pleasure.

We search for them one by one, like playing hide-and-seek, and then pluck their buds. It's not easy—I once spent an entire day collecting just one jin (500 grams) of tea.

The spot where she collected the stones was once the filming location for the scene in the 1983 version of Journey to the West, where Sun Wukong emerged from the rocks. Coincidentally, my print \"Sun Wukong,\" created ten years ago, reflects the fate of these stones, just like Sun Wukong's: after completing his pilgrimage to the West, he ultimately struggles to return to the Flower-Fruit Mountain in his heart. These beach stones, constantly eroded by the waves, reveal their inner discolored veins. Yang Qiao enjoys painting them with color, bringing them back to life. These stones then found their way to Guizhou, where they became a work of art. One evening, Yang Qiao and I were chatting, and it suddenly occurred to me that these stones resembled the \"five-colored stones\" used by Nuwa to mend the sky. Then, I thought of those who once held important positions in the city. As time progressed, they left their jobs or were forced to return to the hometowns they had so desperately tried to leave. This led to a long-lasting dialogue with the people of their hometowns—people I call \"raw stones.\" This dialogue between the five-colored stones and the raw stones is very similar to our own dialogue with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e After leaving Guizhou, we came to Dali, a place close to my hometown, with clear water and blue sky. There are white stones in the water. They flow all the way down from Cangshan Mountain and flow to the feet of Shusha. The children naively called them \"gems\". So our dialogue with our hometown and nature began on these small colorful stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Yang Qiao also plans to continue her creation. The relationship between stones is like that between people. What kind of stones will we encounter?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In 2019, Yang Qiao and I came to Dali and lived in Jason's house. I went hiking in Cangshan with Jason and Xiaojing, and was with nature every day. At that time, I thought to myself that I also wanted to have such a job, so I told Jason. Jason said that I had to learn to drive first, so I went back to Xiamen and learned to drive. In 2022, Jason said he was willing to lend me 5,000 to help me buy a second-hand car for 10,000 yuan. Later, I bought a Great Wall M2 through hard work, some of my own savings, and Yang Qiao's great help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This year we came to Dali. Initially, I served as Phoebe's assistant, and we traveled to Cangshan Mountain to learn about insects and plants. Jingshan said he needed help with his stream-painting stone project, and Yangqiao, who happens to be particularly interested in stone painting, had a stone-based exhibition at the Guizhou Wayuan Space in April and May. So Jingshan entrusted the project to Yangqiao and me, and we began our Cangshan journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Ajin July 2025 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e There's something beautiful about doing something you love and making it part of your job, if not your entire job.

In the courtyard, there are persimmon trees and hawthorn trees, and outside stands a towering eucalyptus tree. In the spring, outside the house, there are vast patches of raspberries. Crossing the pristine tea garden, this spot on the hillside offers the best views along the route.
