Mr. Chinese

The truth came out so cruelly that Jin Xunfeng never expected that He Xilang would let him skip class on Friday to become a driver.

The media began to play up the Draconid meteor shower as early as January, and because the next Draconid meteor shower will erupt in 2095, people are so loud that this meteor shower is rendered as a once-in-a-century event.

The last major outburst of the Draconid meteor shower was on October 1998, 10, when there were as many as 8 meteors per hour.The Purple Mountain Observatory announced that the Draconid meteor shower will be staged on the evening of October 700, with a maximum flow of up to a thousand meteors. It can be observed at night in northeastern Asia, including most of China, including South Korea and Japan.

On the 12th, after lunch, Jin Xunfeng packed his things, prepared tents, recliners and various photographic equipment.

He Xilang was talking on the phone at this time. He was lying on the sofa, almost in the same posture as the black beard basking in the sun beside him. He looked very relaxed. The opposite person should be someone with a particularly good relationship.

"Go to Miyun, yes, set off in the afternoon... What? You go to the Miyun Reservoir? Didn't you agree to go to the Jinshanling Great Wall? That reservoir has been photographed [-] times, what are you going to take?...The reflection of the Milky Way Dreaming on the lake? Dreaming ghost, this idea has been used a long time ago?...What, say I took pictures of the Great Wall in the night sky? If you have ever photographed it, call me soil...You really don’t want to go? Forget it , then I will go by myself..."

Having said that, He Xilang hung up the phone angrily, and turned sideways to tease Black Beard, who blew up when touched, and rushed to Jin Xunfeng.

Jin Xunfeng touched the cat's head and asked, "Teacher, what camera should I bring?"

"It's enough for me to bring one, the Canon 5D body and the Sigma 14mm F1.8 lens. If you want to take pictures, you can also use my equipment."

Jin Xunfeng thought for a while, then shook his head: "Forget it, I won't be able to use other models for a while."

He Xilang was very satisfied: "That's right, the most important thing in taking pictures is the idea, don't be imprisoned by the equipment. Now give me a mobile phone and I can take good pictures."

Jin Xunfeng: "Then why don't we bring our mobile phones tonight?"

He Xilang: "Pi is very happy now?"

Jin Xunfeng shrank his neck.

"Although I tell you not to be imprisoned by the equipment, good equipment is definitely the icing on the cake." He Xilang said, "For example, when we shoot Hoshino this time, it is best to use a fixed-focus wide-angle lens with a large aperture. The large aperture is easy to understand, because at night It is dark, so we need to use a large aperture to ensure the amount of light entering, and the wide-angle lens can capture more landscapes, and can capture the grandeur of the Milky Way Arch Bridge."

Jin Xunfeng nodded, very educated: "It turns out that I can't make good films because the equipment is not good."

He Xilang: "..."

After a brief silence, He Xilang suggested: "Let's eat shrimp tonight."

Jin Xunfeng was a little surprised. In his memory, the teacher didn't like eating shrimp because he found it troublesome to peel them.

He Xilang smiled: "Eat Pippi shrimp."

Jin Xunfeng: "..."

***

The car drove to the North Fourth Ring Road, drove northward from the Jingcheng Expressway through Huairou and Miyun, and the final destination was the Jinshanling Great Wall.It was still two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was a slow-moving section on the Fourth Ring Road. While waiting, the two people in the car chatted casually.

This time I still drove a Mercedes-Benz G series, Jin Xunfeng was a little curious: "Teacher, do you have a good family background?"

He Xilang smiled: "It's okay, my mother and second brother start a company, and the family's income basically depends on them, and I make a little money myself."

Jin Xunfeng counted silently. There are real estate properties in Beijing. The location and neighborhood are good. There are two cars at home, one of which is worth more than 100 million yuan, and there is a cabinet of cameras and lenses that can easily cost tens of thousands. .

He Xilang is less than 30 years old, and he has accumulated such a relatively small amount of property, and the key is that he is not an entrepreneur or other high-paying industry, he is just an ordinary university teacher, and his salary cannot support any of them. item overhead.

Jin Xunfeng sighed a little, he can have everything without working hard, he can't taste the taste of struggle, he can't taste the excitement of ups and downs, such a life is really meaningless.

Jin Xunfeng is very melancholy, when will he have such a meaningless life?He was melancholy all afternoon, and he went directly to the destination in melancholy.

He Xilang had photographed apricot blossoms here before, and he was quite familiar with the situation of the scenic spot. Jin Xunfeng, who was familiar with the road, parked the car in the hotel parking lot.

When checking the ticket, the staff of the scenic spot were not surprised by He Xilang's behavior of climbing the Great Wall with one leg. I don't know how many strange tourists they encountered, so they turned a blind eye.

The Great Wall, Jinshan unique beauty.Jinshanling Great Wall is the quintessential section of the Great Wall. Compared with the dumpling-like Badaling, there are fewer tourists here, and the scenery is quite majestic.He Xilang limped forward and walked like flying, while Jin Xunfeng chased after him with a bunch of photographic equipment on his back, looking terrified.

"Teacher, please slow down and watch your feet."

"It's okay, I basically don't feel it anymore." He Xilang waved his hand.

Jin Xunfeng: "..."

Who was the one who had to push the wheelchair in class yesterday?

After struggling for more than an hour, He Xilang finally found a satisfactory scene.So he ordered Jin Xunfeng to set up a tripod and set up a machine, so that he could take pictures of the sunset sooner.

According to astronomical predictions, a small number of meteors can be observed after 8:10 pm, and the maximum flow rate is from 12:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, and it is said that the flow rate can reach more than [-] meteors.

It's still too early, only suitable for shooting starry sky.It's a pity that He Xilang took several photos and was not satisfied, so he asked Jin Xunfeng to go to the front with a flashlight to fill in the light.

After another toss, He Xilang finally took a satisfactory photo - Jin Xunfeng with his back to the camera and landed on the lower left of the screen, with the winding Great Wall under his feet and the vast starry sky above his head, a beam of light in his hand lit up the night sky.

Jin Xunfeng also had something he wanted to photograph, but he didn't dare to go far, just wandering around.

As time got later, the Great Wall became more solemn and quiet. Soon after, sparse meteors began to streak across the sky, and as time went by, there were more and more meteors.

He Xilang asked Jin Xunfeng to come over and started preparing to shoot the meteor shower.

Jinxun Peak climbed to the highest point, only to see the Milky Way Arch Bridge spanning the sky, and meteors falling occasionally, the combination of solemnity and agility is just right.It took a long time for Jin Xunfeng to come back to his senses, and he remembered the pile of photos in He Xilang's room.

The dream of the starry sky in Bolivia’s Salt Lake, the purity of the starry sky in the Gulf of Aden in Daocheng, the solemnity and majesty of the starry sky in Lop Nur, and the stars and sea on the unknown coast... No matter which one, the scenery will not necessarily be worse than the current scenery.

"Teacher, you should have seen better-looking ones before, right?"

"It can be said, but it's not complete," He Xilang said, "When you have been to countless places in the world, large and small, you will find that travel is not just walking, it is no longer a pure experience of scenery. , It also has a lot to do with the state of mind at the time.”

Jin Xunfeng nodded, half understanding.

He asked again: "Teacher, have you seen the meteor shower before?"

He Xilang shook his head, this was the first time he had seen such a spectacular meteor shower.

The shooting lasted until eleven o'clock, and the Sigma 14mmF1.8 can be called a magic weapon of the stars, which can express the vastness of the landscape and the dream of the starry sky to the maximum extent.In the viewfinder, one quarter is the winding Great Wall and distant mountains, three quarters are the dark blue sky, the dreamy Milky Way across the night sky, and the meteors sliding out of long star trails.

This is the ultimate romance of the photographer, on the Great Wall, under the stars, turning this moment into eternity.

The cool wind, the falling stars, and the people by his side... I don't know what's wrong with it, but Jin Xunfeng suddenly felt an absurd feeling in his heart. It would be great if this moment could last forever.

"Teacher, I think that eternity is real. This is not a lie." Jin Xunfeng said suddenly.

"Huh?" He Xilang was a little surprised.

"Before you said in class that instant is eternity is a sophistry. Indeed, instant and eternity are two contradictory existences. But I think that at a certain moment, instant and eternity are superimposed states. If a person wants to extend a certain moment infinitely , then for this person, that moment becomes his eternity."

After Jin Xunfeng finished speaking, he noticed that the way He Xilang looked at him had changed, it was not as boring as before, but with a sense of playfulness, just like a lazy cat, finally found the feeling fun toy.

"What you said makes sense, I didn't expect it." He Xilang was quite relieved, "Although I am your teacher, I still have many limitations, and it is inevitable that I am biased when looking at problems. I am very glad that you can independent thinking."

Jin Xunfeng asked again: "Does what the teacher said before still count?"

He Xilang frowned: "What are you talking about?"

Jin Xunfeng shook his head: "...Forget it, it's nothing."

It doesn't matter if the teacher forgets, anyway, he just remembers.

***

After returning, He Xilang updated Weibo and Moments, and He Xilang's Moments were not too frequent, basically posting photos.But as long as you post a picture, you will definitely receive hundreds of likes.He doesn't hide it, the vanity of being praised is also one of his motivations for photography.

Soon after, Zhang Jianqi also posted a new picture.

It is the Miyun Reservoir that he dislikes very much, but the Milky Way is reflected on the lake, and the meteor seems to fall from the starry sky to the lake, which is extremely dreamy.

I have to say, the effect is still very good.He Xilang gave him a thumbs-up, but he didn't praise him. He just commented indifferently: "Didn't you get bitten by a dog today?"

Zhang Jianqi returned quickly: "The wild dog has been raised by me as a family dog."

He Xilang thought of Blackbeard, who was also a stray cat he picked up from outside. At the beginning, he was cute and white, but he grew uglier and became more and more tempered. Until now, he didn't look at him directly.

He Xilang was upset, and looked at the photo of the black beard or the little milk cat for a long time before falling asleep.In the middle of the night, he had a dream. He dreamed that Jin Xunfeng had become a villain and even took his cat away!

The author has something to say: When eating at noon, a colleague asked: "You don't get acne after eating so much chili?"

Me: "Maybe it's because of my physique, get used to it~"

Before he finished speaking, there was an itching feeling from an indescribable place behind his buttocks.I really want to tell her that it’s not that you don’t have acne, it’s just that it grows in places you can’t see... Orz
