It was probably a happy occasion that invigorated her spirit. During that period, Jiang Yan won a series of photography awards and received a scholarship that left her hands full.
Afterwards, until her sophomore year, her works represented the school in competitions and won first prize at the provincial level.
A professional old professor said she is a good seedling, with unique and innate affinity and talent in photography.
In fact, for Jiang Yan herself, with her economic situation, choosing such a major is not a wise choice.
She loves nature photography, which is a yearning for freedom in nature. She admires art, which is a baptism of spirit and soul.
Photography is in her blood. Just like Ruan Jiangling, its an obsession deep down in her heart.
Nature photography is not an easy course. At the beginning, its just animals in zoos, but they are tied up and cant be called free art.
Later on, if the school has the conditions, they will also let them go outdoors, but its all about taking pictures of animals such as wild boars and peacocks.
Most of this type can only participate in school comments or appreciate themselves. If they want to go further, most domestic photographers will choose the boundary of western Sichuan.
However, the journey is long and the terrain is treacherous, making self-driving a very dangerous choice.
Jiang Yan was no exception. This time, Professor Li assigned a topic and she went online to gather some information, finally choosing her destination - Yaan.
Sichuan Yaan, a region with complex terrain, humid climate, and lush vegetation, is home to a rich variety of wild plants and animals.
Tang Man said that Jiang Yan was the second person she had ever seen who was so carefree. It seemed that they had agreed on a place to meet the night before, but when Tang Man got up the next day, she didnt see Jiang Yan anywhere.
Call her and ask for her address when people are already on the train.
The journey is long, with great differences between north and south, whether in elevation or terrain.
Tang Man was worried that she would not adapt to the local environment, so he sent her some medicine, which was still delivered by SF Express.
But she arrived there quickly, while Jiang Yan had not yet arrived.
There was also a senior and a senior sister who accompanied us all the way. The senior was originally in the same major as Jiang Yan.
They all came to Yaan this time to complete Professor Lis topic selection. Later, he also called his girlfriend and said that it was a trip by the way.
Its probably their first trip together, and theyre getting a bit fed up with each other on the way.
Jiang Yan specially swapped seats to make room for the two of them.
She remembered taking a very long train ride, from daytime to nighttime, from dusk till dawn, crossing over high mountains and fording rivers.
Jiang Yans SLR camera had already taken over a hundred photos before reaching the destination, and later needed to go through post-processing and color screening.
Three days and two nights of train journey, finally arrived at the basin.
Jiang Yan originally thought of that senior as a professional and cool male god, but after three days of seeing how he interacted with his girlfriend, Jiang Yan completely shattered her original impression of him.
The most aloof male god in the industry is actually not like that, hes extremely clingy to his girlfriend, and for three days now, the two have been inseparable.
His girlfriend looks like a sweet girl image, but the inner image is on the same road as Jiangyan, and its strangely cold.
The combination of the two broke some inherent understanding, Jiang Yan thought that he couldnt judge people by their appearance after all.
Yaan is located in the transition zone between the western edge of the Sichuan Basin and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with a rich ancient history and culture.
When they arrived locally, they rented a car. For foreign photographers like them, if they want to go to the center of the forest, they can only drive by themselves, otherwise they can only take a black car.
There are two girls in the team, both of whom look quite good-looking, and its very unsettling to take a black car.
After some thought, I decided to drive there myself.
Yaan is a rainy city, and they are going to Erlang Mountain, which is notorious for its steep terrain and harsh weather.
At high altitude, after passing the national highway, I started to have symptoms of high reflection, nausea and dizziness were just appetizers, and the farther up, the more severe the tinnitus became.
I had no choice but to buy three oxygen tanks and take them up, the symptoms of high-altitude hypoxia were alleviated somewhat, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
Not only was she altitude sick, but also her senior fellow student Deng Hui had severe high-altitude reaction symptoms. Gu Jiaming could only find an inn at the foot of the mountain and planned to go up again after preparing everything.
Compared to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Erlang Mountains elevation is still relatively low, but for those who are used to living in a bustling metropolis, its still quite strenuous.
Bad weather, strong ultraviolet rays, steep cliffs, as if a careless moment, accidents can happen at any time.
Jiang Yan heard them in the evening, and they seemed to be quarreling.
This time it really wasnt her intention to eavesdrop, the quarrel was very loud, mostly Deng Hui complaining that Gu Jiaming brought her to such a godforsaken place, with no village in front and no shops behind.
Arguing and arguing, Deng Hui probably lacked oxygen again, and she almost fainted. Gu Jiaming hurriedly went to buy several bottles of oxygen tanks from the store for her.
The next day, Gu Jiaying asked Jiang Yans opinion and asked if she wanted to change her destination.
Actually this place is quite good, at least Gu Jiaming is very satisfied, and it seems that he is not too picky.
Its not because of his girlfriend that he wont say it.
Jiang Yan also thought carefully about it, and she didnt intend to change her destination.
Changing the destination would require spending more time going back and forth, and they would have to change their original plan theme. The records along the way would also be invalidated.
Gu Jiaming agreed with her idea and took Deng Hui to the city early in the morning, buying her a high-speed rail ticket, then came back to pick up Jiang Yan.
This time he bought a lot of oxygen tubes and anti-altitude sickness medicine stored in the car, as well as some food for emergency use.
Jiang Yan probably understood at that time why Professor Li regarded Gu Jiaming as his proud closed-door disciple.
This time she was well-prepared and had gradually adapted to such a harsh environment, much better than the day before.
Gu Jiaming drove for an entire morning, originally they had agreed to take turns driving, but Gu Jiaming said he was afraid Jiangyan would get him killed, so he did it himself.
It wasnt until two oclock in the afternoon that we truly reached the summit.
Majestic mountains, the sky and earth almost connected, blue and green as one, stretching out your hand seems to touch the horizon, leaning forward you want to fall into the cliff bottom, in the distance connecting snow-capped mountains and glaciers, the beautiful scenery is all within sight.
Gu Jiaming got off the car first and waited for her to get down, then handed the camera over to her.
The landscape in the camera, she adjusted the color, like a very good ink painting.
She crouched down, and a majestic eagle suddenly flew towards her from between the mountains, its wings beating powerfully in mid-air.
Jiang Yan hastily pressed the shutter button and took several shots in a row.
When she turned around and handed the SLR camera to Gu Jiaming, she saw him making a phone call not far away. It should be Deng Hui who called him.
His eyebrows and eyes were filled with gentleness, and even his tone of voice unconsciously softened.
Jiang Yan was a bit dazed and suddenly remembered the day when Ruan Jiang accompanied her up the mountain and helped her tie that red ribbon.
