Peng's son emigrated.

Yu Chunshun was the first person to cross China on foot. He is from Shanghai, a college student. He was born in 195 165438+ February. He explored and traveled on foot in China from 1988, with a total journey of more than 40,000 kilometers, published more than 400,000 words of travel notes, took more than 8,000 photos and made 6,544 along the way.

1June, 1996 13, Yu Chunshun was killed while crossing Lop Nur on foot. When the hero left, he left many mysteries and people's endless thinking and speculation.

Coincidentally, 16 years ago1June 1980 17, Peng Ye, a scientist and president of Xinjiang Branch of Chinese Academy of Sciences, mysteriously disappeared while conducting an in-depth investigation in the hinterland of Lop Nur. So far, no one is alive or dead. Peng's disappearance is not far from Yu Chunshun's death.

What's more, Lop Nur, the most mysterious place in China, often has unknown mummies, full of all kinds of strange legends. American satellite photos show that Lop Nur has a huge ear shape, so it is called "the ear of the earth".

Lop Nur is located on the edge of Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, east of Taklimakan Desert, covering an area of about 3,000 square kilometers. In ancient times, it was a huge saltwater lake. At its largest, it was even bigger than Poyang Lake today, reaching 5,500 square kilometers. The famous ancient city of Loulan is located in the northwest lake of Lop Nur. Lop Nur eventually dried up due to the vicissitudes of the earth, but before 1972, there were still more than 2,000 square kilometers of water. In the 1970s, there were great immigrants from the west, and people frantically reclaimed land and endlessly asked for water from the Tarim River, which eventually led to the complete drying up of Lop Nur and turned it into a barren land full of saline-alkali shells.

Lop Nur is uninhabited and the site of the nuclear test explosion in New China. China's first atomic bomb and hydrogen bomb exploded successfully here.

Due to the desert climate, Lop Nur is hot and dry in summer, with the temperature as high as 50 degrees Celsius and the surface temperature as high as 70 degrees Celsius. It is easy to fry eggs. Therefore, summer is a taboo to enter Lop Nur, especially in June, Lop Nur is an absolute forbidden area, so it is impossible to break into it casually, let alone cross it on foot. No one can break this spell.

However, Yu Chunshun is determined to break this convention and complete the feat that it is impossible for human beings to cross Lop Nur in June. Yu Chunshun insisted on taking this risk for many reasons. Some people say that he is tired of fame, some people say that he has been used, some people say that he is a personal hero, and some people say that he is trapped by love. Anyway, I said everything.

Yu Chunshun had a rough life in Lop Nur, but he was not calm behind him. He was buried in Lop Nur nearby, and his tomb was not far from his death point, but it was stolen several times. Others questioned his identity as an "explorer" and said that he was not worthy of the title of "explorer". His girlfriend Xu Jinyu later wrote a book, which said that he was a hero who was not sober enough and was trapped by fame.

Yu Chunshun had been hiking successfully for eight years before crossing Lop Nur on foot. He traveled all over China and visited Fandori eight times, especially in the west, and he accomplished many feats. But this does not mean that he can cross Lop Nur in June and accomplish this almost impossible task in an unprecedented way.

Speaking of Yu Chunshun's crossing, I have to mention another person, that is Zhao Ziyun, a senior engineer of Xinjiang Geological Bureau, because he is Yu Chunshun's guide. Moreover, all individuals or organizations exploring in Xinjiang employ Zhao Ziyun as a guide. Zhao Ziyun has worked in the Geological and Mineral Team of Xinjiang Geological Bureau for more than 40 years, and his footprints are all over Xinjiang, including the north and south of Tianshan Mountain, the three mountains and two basins, and the desert Gobi, all of which have left Zhao Ziyun's figure. Especially Lop Nur, Zhao Ziyun is the most familiar person. If he is second, no one dares to call him first. He enjoys the titles of "King of Desert", "Living Map of Lop Nur", "Compass of Life", "Crazy Professor" and "Desperate Saburo". He knows the geography, landform and climate of Xinjiang like the back of his hand and has rich field experience.

When Yu Chunshun crossed Lop Nur, it was natural to hire Zhao Ziyun as a guide. He is a "living map" of Lop Nur and retired. He is an irreplaceable guide and the best guide for Yu Chunshun.

Therefore, before Chunshun officially crossed alone, it was Zhao Ziyun who accompanied him all the way, and Zhao Ziyun made the crossing route for him. So, after Yu Chunshun was killed, public opinion questioned Zhao Ziyun and asked him why he didn't accompany Yu Chunshun to cross the border. Some people also questioned Zhao Ziyun's high fees and irresponsibility. In fact, these questioning voices are all speculation and one-sided.

In fact, from the very beginning, Zhao Ziyun resolutely opposed Yu Chunshun's crossing the river. He suggested that Yu Chunshun cross again in June+10, 5438. He persuaded Yu Chunshun to change his itinerary several times, but Yu Chunshun refused to complete another plan in southern Xinjiang in June+10, 5438. The plan was that he would go to Mohammad County in southern Xinjiang to practice camels in June+10, 5438, and then cross the Taklimakan Desert alone from west to east. Even before Yu Chunshun finally officially crossed, Zhao Ziyun said to him, "Yu Chunshun, to be on the safe side, I will go with you at this 100 km." But naturally Yu Chunshun refused. He said, "Zhao Gong! I am recognized as a loner by the whole world. If you accompany me, will you still go alone? "

Later, the live video of that year also proved that when Yu Chunshun bid farewell to Zhao Ziyun, he also vowed: "I will succeed. See you in three days. " Of course, Yu Chunshun left and never came back. This is a road of no return, a road of no return.

In fact, in that case, any persuasion is futile. As the saying goes, the arrow should be shot on the string. In order to make a documentary, Yu Chunshun's crossing was followed by Shanghai TV Station. It is precisely because of various factors that Yu Chunshun has been "squeezed" to a point of no return. When Zhao Ziyun dissuaded him on the grounds that "June is not Lop Nur", Yu Chunshun also said: "The documentary crew of Shanghai TV will follow the filming of this crossing activity, and they will arrive late, so the schedule can't be changed."

In fact, a film crew composed of four people, including Song Jichang, the documentary director and director of Shanghai TV Station, arrived in Korla on May 3 1. On May 27th, Yu Chunshun worked out "Walking through Lop Nur alone and Tracking Shooting Schedule of Shanghai TV Station", which was officially printed as a manuscript. Public opinion has been made, and everyone is waiting for it. In this case, how can we back down? Moreover, when Yu Chunshun arrived in Korla, he was warmly welcomed by the local community. Loulan Hotel gave him free accommodation. The Propaganda Department of the Party Committee of Bayinguoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture held a press conference for Yu Chunshun in Loulan Hotel, and China Life Insurance Company of the Autonomous Prefecture provided Yu Chunshun with life insurance of 6.5438+0 million yuan. Xinjiang Petroleum Exploration Bureau provides two Mercedes-Benz desert vehicles with radio stations. In addition, the relevant departments also provided a generator free of charge, and the film crew also prepared three satellite navigators. Unfortunately, Yu Chunshun didn't bring it when he crossed the river for a long time, because he didn't need it. Whether you don't bring it or don't want to bring it, there is no way to test it now. In addition, other materials needed for crossing, such as mineral water 100 boxes, 60 boxes of eight-treasure porridge, instant noodles 180 boxes, canned beef 10 boxes, 300 naan cakes, 200 kilograms of vegetables and a large number of other non-staple foods, are provided by the relevant units free of charge.

Yu Chunshun is full of pride. He said confidently: "I can say that this is a' small test' and the winning rate is 100%." Not only that, Yu Chunshun also said a lot of brave words about this crossing. For example, when he was in Longcheng, he said, "I have been to many places in Xinjiang, and only Longcheng is the most brilliant and poetic." "So far, Shanghainese who have been to Lop Nur and are about to arrive in Lop Nur, except Peng, are my Yu Chunshun. Only Yu Chunshun can conquer Lop Nur. " What he means is that Peng didn't finish the task and disappeared, but he, Yu Chunshun, can finish the task of crossing Lop Nur. In fact, Peng is from Guangdong, not from Shanghai, which Yu Chunshun doesn't understand.

1June 6, 996, Yu Chunshun marched into Lop Nur. The route was set by the guide Zhao Ziyun, starting from Korla, passing through Huyanggou, Laoyingpan, Laokaiping, Qianjin Bridge, Longcheng Ya Dan and Tugen in the south, then entering the center of Lop Nur Lake, then turning right 120 degrees, that is, turning back to Qianjin Bridge in the northwest. In fact, Yu Chunshun's crossing is not a real "crossing". It just goes deep into the middle of Lop Nur and then turns northwest. It just goes deep into the middle of Lop Nur and then turns back. Although it is not the original road, it is definitely a way to get out of Lop Nur quickly and return to a safe place.

On the afternoon of the same day, Yu Chunshun's courageous ceremony was held in Loulan Hotel. The leaders of the local tourism bureau, PICC and the hotel put red flowers on him, and several Mongolian girls presented "horse wine" to Yu Chunshun in turn. People from all walks of life spoke in succession and wished Yu Chunshun a smooth crossing. Yu Chunshun, flushed under the scorching sun, usually doesn't touch alcohol. This time, everyone comes without delay. After drinking several bowls of wine, Yu Chunshun's excitement was beyond words, and his sweat was mixed with tears and kept dripping. Yu Chunshun stood in front of the microphone, facing more than 100 brave people. He once again said, "I will be able to cross Lop Nur smoothly and break the myth that I can't enter Lop Nur in June. I will never live up to the expectations of all my friends."

The place where Yu Chunshun was finally killed was about 2 kilometers south of the T-junction where he should turn. Obviously, Yu Chunshun got lost. He didn't turn at the corner, but went straight to the southeast. So some people questioned that Zhao Ziyun didn't set a turn sign at the T-junction, and didn't bury drinking water here, so Yu Chunshun got lost under the condition of high temperature dehydration and died of systemic failure.

In fact, Zhao Ziyun accompanied Yu Chunshun through this route in advance, and the materials buried along the way were clearly marked. At this T-junction, Zhao Ziyun put a bunch of mineral water bottles as markers, which made Yu Chunshun lost his way and missed his only chance to live. This has nothing to do with Zhao Ziyun. After Yu Chunshun was killed, Zhao Ziyun accompanied the search and participated in the search and rescue for five days and five nights.

Zhao Ziyun once said, "Yu Chunshun, Yu Chunshun, it takes you three days to cross, and I want you five days. Are you exploring or am I exploring? " Others questioned Zhao Ziyun's ability to cross Lop Nur, and whether he could cross Lop Nur. On June 8, 2002, witnessed by CCTV, Zhao Ziyun accompanied Li Yong, a Sichuanese, and set out from the place where Yu Chunshun was killed six years ago and successfully crossed Lop Nur on foot. This time, Zhao Ziyun is still a guide. He stayed with Li Yong all the time, and his ability was proved.

Yu Chunshun's death was both accidental and inevitable. On the night before the official crossing, when someone suggested that Peng had been killed in Lop Nur and tried to stop him from crossing the river on June 6, someone in the film crew immediately retorted loudly: "What about Peng? We have been walking for eight years. What difficulties have we not encountered? Didn't they all succeed? "

Hearing this, Yu Chunshun picked up Zhuanghang wine and gulped it down. Then he said, "Failure to cross the river this time is my death!"
