In the early morning, the cold wind blew across the earth, and before the sky was fully bright, they once again set out on the journey to the train station.
As always, those familiar and friendly faces came to see us off - parents, brothers and sisters.
On the platform, Gu Changmu quietly gazed at his relatives in front of him, with complex emotions surging in his heart.
He opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know how to start saying anything.
In the end, he chose to express his concern in the simplest way, just waving his hands at them, signaling them to go home as soon as possible.
After all, this cold morning was too hard for the elderly parents.
However, despite Gu Changmu's repeated urging, his relatives still insisted on staying where they were, watching the train slowly leave the platform.
Only when the long train gradually disappeared from view in the distance did they slowly move their feet and walk out of the train station.
After the farewell, the day of reunion seems far away.
For this trip, they first had to take a train to Yun City, and then transfer to a vehicle to Banna.
Then, they will cross the border and start a journey full of unknowns.
In Banna, colleagues who had been waiting for a long time had carefully prepared various products that needed to be taken out of the country.
Next, they will travel south along the Mekong River, and every time they arrive in a new city, they will need to work closely with local partners.
However, it is worth mentioning that the main mission of Gu Changmu and his companions on this trip was not to directly participate in these business cooperation affairs.
Their most critical task is to ensure that the entire series of activities can proceed in an orderly and smooth manner.
Just the day before they were about to leave home and embark on a new journey, military personnel suddenly appeared in front of them like gods descending from the sky.
These heroic soldiers, dressed in neat uniforms, looked at the two men with firm and earnest eyes, and expressed their expectations and requests for them in sincere words.
The military representatives elaborated in detail on the issues that required their assistance in resolving, and every word revealed the importance and urgency of the matter.
However, it is gratifying that after listening to the military's statement, they nodded in agreement without hesitation and expressed no pressure at all.
Because in their hearts, this is not just a simple task, but also the unshirkable responsibility and mission of every citizen, and a goal that everyone desires to achieve.
Yue Yue smiled and assured the military in a calm and confident tone, "Please rest assured, our journey will pass through many virgin forest areas.
I believe that with our keen observation and rich experience, we will be able to find some key clues. Once we find any, we will contact you as soon as possible."
Her determined eyes seemed to tell of the inevitability of success.
Upon hearing this promise, gratitude appeared on the faces of the military personnel.
The leading officer solemnly saluted them with a standard and powerful military salute and sincerely wished them: "May your journey be smooth and may you return triumphantly soon!"
Before he finished speaking, these soldiers left as quickly as they came, leaving only their tall figures disappearing outside the Gu family's gate.
As night fell, everything was silent. But the two people lying in bed tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
The things entrusted by the military during the day kept circling in their minds, making it difficult for them to calm down.
After careful consideration, they made a tacit decision to find the exact location of the target no matter what.
Finally, the day of departure arrived. When they boarded the train and slowly sat down, the confidential document about the mission was placed before them.
After reading it carefully, I found that this task seemed dull and even extremely boring.
However, if the relevant orders can be successfully completed and signed, it will undoubtedly bring considerable foreign exchange income to the country.
Thinking of this, their originally slightly depressed mood suddenly became excited again, their eyes became extremely firm again, and they resolutely embarked on this journey full of unknowns and challenges.
Along the way, Yue Yue was waiting for colleagues around her to introduce the climate and temperature of Banna. Banna is located on the northern edge of the tropics, with Ailao Mountain and Wuliang Mountain as barriers in the north, blocking the cold current from the south.
The south and east sides are close to the Indian Ocean and the Bay of Bengal. In summer, it is affected by the southwest monsoon from the Indian Ocean and the southeast airflow from the Pacific Ocean, resulting in a climate characterized by high temperature and heavy rainfall, distinct dry and wet seasons, and indistinct four seasons.
Therefore, Xishuangbanna's climate is warm and humid all year round, with no four seasons, only dry and wet seasons.
The dry season is from November to April of the following year, and the wet season is from May to October.
Banna is the area with the most complete preserved tropical ecosystem in my country. It is known as the "Plant Kingdom", "Animal Kingdom", "Biological Gene Bank", "An Emerald in the Crown of the Plant Kingdom", "World Species Gene Bank", "Forest Ecological Museum", and "Natural Sanatorium".
In the lush and vast tropical rainforest, there are more than 5,000 species of higher plants, including 153 endemic plants, such as Parashorea chinensis, Banna green plum, and Yunnan meat bean crown.
There are 134 endangered plant species, such as Southwestern Purple Star, Ironwood, Yunnan Stonewood, and Yunnan Medeng Wood.
Numerous plant species grow intertwined with each other, forming complex and diverse vegetation landscapes such as tropical rainforests, tropical monsoon forests, subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, moss evergreen broad-leaved forests, south subtropical coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests, bamboo and wood mixed forests, and shrub forests.
Listening to the introduction of colleagues, Yue Yue gained a certain understanding of this place, especially the climate characteristics. If it is warm all year round, doesn’t that mean there is no winter?
