I am at the scene · The story behind the photo 丨 Shou Jiangyuanji

This is the corner of the Yangtze River source area taken on July 26.

Range Jiangyuan contains endless mysteries.

On July 24, the comprehensive scientific investigation of Jiangyuan in 2022 was launched in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. As the only media reporter who followed the team, I participated and witnessed the process of "physical examination" of Jiangyuan for the whole process, and used the lens to record the day and night of scientific research. In my first trip to the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau in my life, I followed more than 20 researchers in the fields of hydrology and water resources, water ecology and water environment. , Recorded a difficult scientific investigation.

On July 24th, the scientific research team members of the Yangtze River Academy of Sciences conducted scientific research in the Lancang River Source District.

"High -reverse distress"

Located in the Sanjiangyuan area south of Qinghai Province, it is the birthplace of the Yangtze River, Yellow River, and Lancang River. The mountains are towering here, and the wetlands of glacier are stretched. The intertwined streams, large and small streams, swamps, and lakes are the most concentrated areas of the world's high -altitude areas. It is also the core area of ​​this scientific test.

Since reaching Yushu, I clearly feel the brain pain caused by hypoxia, and my eyes are congested and involuntarily crying. Even if you drink a lot of water, your lips are still cracked. Especially in the last few days of the scientific examination, the feeling of the Langhe River and Yanshiping at a altitude of nearly 5,000 meters was even more intense. After finishing the day of the scientific examination, even if the body was extremely tired, the legs were like pouring lead, but they were lying on the bed and still stunned and couldn't sleep all night. Such a physical response can only be slightly improved by strengthening psychological suggestions and slow actions.

On July 26, the scientific examination players from the Yangtze Academy of Sciences conducted scientific research in the source area of ​​the Yangtze River.

On July 26, after we came to a braid -shaped river in the Yangtze River source, we were shocked by the scene at the scene: the towering snowy mountains in the distance, the multiple shares of the waterway swayed back and forth between the sizes in front of the waters, the separation, the combination of the division, Interweave each other, scientific examiners focus on sampling monitoring on the shore ...

Seeing such a magnificent landscape, I was excited and climbed to a boulder at the 30 -degree hillside in one breath. I forgot that this was a plateau at an altitude of 4800 meters. As a result, I panted and my heart was running wildly. I could only hold the stones and sit there with paralyzed. While taking out the machine and reminding myself, I must breathe smoothly and breathe calmly ...

"Borrow a little time"

Due to the many types of scientific research projects, it involves a wide range of rivers. In the intense scientific examination itinerary, at least 400 kilometers per day, bumping on the mountain road for more than 10 hours. monitor. There is no signal along the way, and it is difficult to connect with the rear editor. The team set off early in the morning, and it was often 10 o'clock in the evening when they returned to the residence. There was no enough time to organize my mind to carefully edit the manuscript.

In order to ensure the timeliness of the press, after getting in the car, I immediately pulled out the computer to make a rough editor and publish it on the car. The severe bumps made my head hit the roof often, and the severe shaking in the car made me dizzy, and she wanted to vomit. After a few days of adaptation, I adjusted the shooting ideas and intended to shoot targeted shooting within a valid time.

On July 29, Liu Yan, a member of the scientific research team of the Yangtze River Academy of Sciences, collected samples of bottom animals in Buqu in the source area of ​​the Yangtze River.

In this scientific examination, the "post -90s" have become the main scientific research in the team. After half a year, the light players also went to the plateau for the first time. They are greedy and black every day in the Yangtze River source and Lancang River source area. They rush to different levels of sampling and observation. The route covers two sources of the Yangtze River and Lancang River, overcoming difficulties such as high -cold and hypoxia, and continuously conducting scientific monitoring and research. Their youthful and vibrant faces and persistent figures have also become a beautiful scenery on the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau. Liu Yan, a member of the "post -90s" scientific research team from the Yangtze River Academy of Sciences, jumped into the cold and bitter river every time the sampling river section. Pulling the net fishing and collecting samples. His dedicated spirit moved me and admired. After taking into account the shooting of various scientific examinations, he became one of my main shooting objects this time.

On July 27, Liu Yan took the scientific examination along the Langhe River in the source area of ​​the Yangtze River.

On the evening of July 28, Liu Ye raised the fishing net along the along the Langhe River and sampled as usual. In the setting sun, the sparkling water merged with his figure, and the warm light made the picture in front of me very beautiful. Perhaps God's care, just under this painting scene, on the distant bridge, a train slowly drove. I quickly picked up the camera and adjusted the angle to record these almost perfect moments.

"Connection is always constantly"

In this interview, I carried a drone device and intended to record more comprehensively through the perspective of aerial photography. After arriving in Yushu, I found that the three unmanned batteries carried were also "high -reverse". Two of them appeared drum bags and could not be used. In the following interviews, it can only be charged quickly in the car after the end of the aerial photography to ensure that the next point is continued.

The mountain road is very rugged. In these days of the itinerary, our team often has accidents such as vehicles bursting tires. In such unmanned wilderness, in order to ensure the safety of the entire team, other vehicles have to transfer to the front of the car to help. The factors increase the time of the entire itinerary.

On July 28, in the Granda Dongxue Mountain, scientific research players from the Yangtze Academy of Sciences moved to the detection point.

On July 28, the scientific research team planned to observe glaciers in Gangjiaba. But at the scene, we found that a river near the detection point had developed large, which caused the team to be unable to pass. The point that the vehicle could reach was too far away from the glacier detection point, which made all the shooting schemes made in advance. Subsequently, the team temporarily decided to replace the position and climb to a detection point of the Granda Dongxue Mountain 3 kilometers next to it. Grandong Snow Mountain is the main peak of the Tanggula Mountains, and the Luanhe River in the Yangtze River originated here. Although the glacier is "nearly in front of the eyes", it is extremely difficult to contact close. The team members carried more than 30 pounds of radar detection equipment to climb along the river valley. The slopes are steep and random stones. If you walk 200 meters, you have to stop and breathe. After 3 kilometers of hillside, we climbed for more than an hour before finally reaching the detection point of 5400 meters above sea level.

On July 28, in the Granda Dongxue Mountain, the scientific research player from the Yangtze River Academy of Sciences Ding Peizhong was carrying a geological radar equipment to the detection point.

On July 28, Dong Shiqi (left), Fan Yue (middle), and Ding Peizhong from the scientific research team members from the Yangtze River Academy of Sciences took a group photo.

On the glacier near the slope of nearly 40 degrees, even if wearing a chilled chuck, the bottom of the feet is occasionally slipped due to the melting of the glacier. In order to ensure the richness of the picture, after shooting their assembly equipment, I rely on some experiences of the snow -capped mountain climbing project on the snowy mountain project at the beginning of this year. moment. At the end of the detection work, I rushed down the Xuepo again in advance, and took out the drone with not much electricity. Through the angle of aerial photography, I completed the picture story of this group of radar testing glaciers.

On July 28, the scientific examination players from the Yangtze Academy of Sciences were on the snow mountain of Granda.

I am very honored to be an exclusive journalist who can participate in the scientific research with the team. This is an unforgettable experience with the colleagues of the scientific research team, the Xinhua News Agency Qinghai Branch and the editorial department of the head of the head office.

The shooting of the plateau is different from the plain, and it is constantly unexpected and difficult. As a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, we must always maintain a positive, curious, and flexible mindset at all times in order to overcome these unfavorable situations and write the report on the plateau and pass to the world.

Looking back at this interview photo, there can be a few satisfactory moments, or to gain a satisfaction, then the hardships paid before are worth it. This is also our photographer reporters in the interview. The secret.
