贵州最后的守村人：七旬老人独居山野荒村，山水环绕犹如与世隔绝的世外桃源

Can you believe that there is a 70-year-old man living in a deserted village in the mountains? We found a forgotten village in the deep mountains of Guizhou. The scenery here is beautiful with clear water and pleasant scenery . The continuous mountain ranges are particularly magnificent. There used to be 8 families living here. Everyone worked from sunrise to sunset and lived a self-sufficient mountain life. Now there is only a 70-year-old grandfather living alone in the mountains. When we chatted with him, we learned that the grandfather had a deep affection for the place where he grew up, so he was unwilling to move away and became the last keeper of the village. This is an isolated paradise. Now follow Tingting into the village to find out . Hello everyone, I am Tingting. Today we found a village that seems to have been forgotten in the canyon of the mountains of Guizhou. The scenery here is really amazing. The green mountains and clear waters surround the whole village. It is simply a real paradise. I wonder if there are still people living in the village . Let’s go into the village and show you. Today is different from usual because I brought a good friend with me . Dangdangdang hello everyone, I am Yan Zi . I usually see Tingting running to the mountains. I basically live in the city. Watch Tingting’s video I was attracted by the natural scenery and cultural stories in the mountains , so I came here specially to experience it. Don’t be attracted by these. It takes about 20 minutes to walk down here. Although it is easy to walk down, it takes twice as much energy to walk up. Do you have the confidence to challenge me? Let’s go. If you really can’t walk up, I will carry you on my back later. That would be great . You have to cook for me tonight. I’m afraid you can’t eat it. My cooking skills are not good. Haha , with your figure, I can make absolutely nice food. Then you can eat my dark cuisine. Haha, no problem, Tingting, I saw how they usually live in these mountains. We didn’t see any land or roads along the way. Because the conditions in each place are different, we can only go into the village to understand. Okay , let’s set off quickly, are n’t you a little impatient ? Yes, yes, let’s go quickly. There is an uncle in front. Let’s go and ask him. Okay, uncle, are you resting here? Yes , are you resting here ? Yes, where are you going? Where are you going? I’m Zhajiagou Zhajiagou. Hey , do you live there? No, I don’t. What’s the name of the village there? Zhajiagou, wow. There are a lot of people in Zhajiagou village now. You know, it’s not just one person, there’s only one person now . Do you know how many households there were before? There were six or seven families , six or seven families . Oh, it used to be quite lively. Where do you live ? We live on the slope above. Do you live here ? Oh , thank you, uncle. What’s your last name ? My last name is You . My last name is You. Oh, hahaha, thank you, uncle. No, no, it takes a long time to walk there. It takes half an hour, right? Half an hour, okay? The uncle said it takes half an hour. Is it acceptable? It seems a bit challenging. What do you think of the scenery here? It’s very beautiful . There’s water here. Do you want to go in the water and play? I can’t swim. Actually, the water level is It’s very low, don’t worry. Although I’m also a landlubber, haha, you have to be careful. The road here is not easy to walk on . Okay , Tingting, please walk slower or faster. I can’t keep up with you. It will be late and we won’t be able to go back. Tingting , what’s wrong ? Aren’t you afraid of these places where there is no village in front and no shop behind ? It’s still a little scary the first time , but I slowly get used to it and it doesn’t matter. Oh , go down here. Oh , let’s go ahead and be careful. What do you hear? Do you hear birds singing? Yes , isn’t it very beautiful ? Do you want me to hold your hand? No, no, it seems you are quite good. Haha, I have to praise you specially. Wow, Tingting, look at the stream here. It’s so beautiful. Do you want to go down and catch crabs? I don’t know if there are any crabs here. I really want to experience it. I don’t know, but fish are willing to… There must be, really? Let me take a look. The water here is so clear. Look, there’s a field over there. Didn’t you just say how they survive here ? There’s a piece of land over there where wheat is grown. The uncle just said that they are the only family living here. That piece of land should be where they grow wheat. Hey, Tingting, look, there are so many beautiful flowers here. They are so beautiful. I want to pick one . What are you doing? I want to pick a flower, but we can’t pick it randomly. We must protect the ecological environment. Let’s go. But I really want to pick it and take it home. Oh , I can’t keep it at home, otherwise it will wilt. Okay , there are two electric wires here. Because the uncle just said that they are the only family living here. These electric wires should be pulled for their family. Oh , don’t you think it’s amazing? Yes, there are electric wires in the mountains, really. It’s amazing. Walk faster. There ‘s still some distance to go. How much longer do we have to go? We’re halfway through, right? The road here is getting narrower and narrower. Have you noticed? It’s flatter and easier to walk than the one above. Be careful here. Ha , okay, it seems they have cows at home. On this road, two people still have to walk sideways to pass. It’s very artistic. Can you sing on this road? Sing a song for me. I’m tone-deaf, so please give me a performance. I can’t. Look, that mountain in front is so high. I’m tired, aren’t I ? A little bit. Can I continue? I feel like I can’t go back later. What should I do? I can’t go back and give you to that family. Haha, if I don’t go home, my family will come to find you. It does n’t matter if I give you 1 million and ask you to marry here. Would you be willing? I don’t want to. Why? One million bought my whole life. I don’t want to. How long will it take to get there? It should be soon, because this is my first time here, and I also sawed some wood. What is wood used for ? It feels so far away. Wow, it’s so heavy. You, you should experience it too. I don’t want to. I don’t want to experience it. No, no, it’s too heavy. Let’s go, let’s go, hurry up. Oh, you still need to practice. You feel that it’s so far to wade through mountains and rivers . That’s the word. It seems that I need to walk more. There are mushrooms in front. I need to exercise more. Otherwise, I won’t be able to walk this way next time. There are mushrooms in front. Where are the mushrooms? Let’s go and find mushrooms. Hey, are we there ? We can see the village. Wow, look , there are houses. Look over there . Let’s go and see if there is anyone at home. There are some clothes hanging in front of that house. Let’s go and see. Finally saw the house. I’m not very happy. I finally have some hope . Come on , my God , there are so many houses here. It seems that there are so many mosquitoes. Look at the grapefruit tree over there. Hahaha, that must be You can’t pick it , hahaha. How about stealing one ? Hahaha. No, no, I’m timid. Hahaha. I’ll help you watch, and then you go and steal it. No, no, just steal and run away. I’m still timid. The corn in this field over here has been moved . It seems that their harvest is still pretty good. Hey , look, look at this house. It seems that no one lives here. What a pity. It’s so beautiful. The scenery here is so good. Look again, there is a stream in front of the door . You can play in the water. The houses in this village are all wooden structures, but they are all idle . I just learned from the uncle outside that there is only one family here. Because we don’t know which family it is for the time being, we have to go up and look for it. Let’s go. Which way should we go? This way or this way? Go this way, go to the left. Hey, Tingting, why do they use this to surround the land here? It should be to prevent chickens and cows from entering. Oh, but their house has been here for so long, will it collapse? The wooden structure is very durable. A house like this is warm in winter and cool in summer, but the main thing is whether it is safe. Let’s find one and go in to feel whether it is cool. Hey, what is this? There is a loofah planted here , but it has rotted. The land is full of weeds. The villagers must have moved out, and the land has been abandoned . It’s such a pity. Hey, there is a pomelo tree here with a lot of pomelo. I don’t know if this is ripe . I want to eat it. It’s not ripe yet and so small . It’s green. It has to turn yellow before it can be eaten, but I’m drooling. Let’s go. You can’t pick other people’s things randomly. You can only eat it with the owner’s permission. Let’s ask him if there are any ripe fruits here. Let’s go and see if we have a good time today. Hey , what is planted in this land? Don’t you recognize this? This is ginger , which we need for cooking. This family should be perfect. They’ve all moved out, right? Even the electric meter has been removed. The walls of his house are painted red, a quite vibrant color. This should be the kitchen because there’s a stove here. This should be a toilet , which can be used as both a toilet and to keep livestock. Hey, there’s someone talking behind us. Let’s go and see what ‘s going on. The sound we just heard came from this family. Let’s go and see. Uncle, come and sit down .
Hahaha , this is millet being dried. Ah ha, well, these are rotten millets . This is still good millet. It needs to be dried to be good millet. This was planted this year, not um, this was planted this year. It was just planted. Where was it harvested from ? Oh, where? Oh, from which field was it harvested? Ha , well, now that I’m old, farming is still tiring, but it’s still possible. Each grain of this has rice in it. Ah , well, the grains are still plump. Now the whole village has only You live here alone, yes , I am alone. What about your wife? My wife passed away a long time ago. She is gone. Well, it has been more than ten years, more than ten years. Oh, I just told my friend about this. It has been 17 years now, 17 years. Well, now all the crops and land in this village are yours, right? I grow my own crops. Other people’s land is barren. Oh, those lands are barren. Now I only grow crops in that piece of land over there, and there is another piece of land for growing vegetables over there. I just heard from others that you are the only one in the whole village now. The whole village has moved out. You live here alone. Are n’t you afraid? I ‘ve been used to living here since I was a child. It’s okay, it’s okay. I have lived here alone for more than ten years. I am not used to living with my children outside. Well, one lives in the county town, one works in Guangdong , and one lives in Guiyang. The son in Guiyang is not married yet. He lives in Guiyang. The one living here is my second son . This one is the fourth among my children . I have six children, yes , six in total . Three girls and three sons . Three sons and three daughters are the best time to enjoy life. They should send you money every month, right? They still send me money from time to time. You can live in this environment for your retirement. Look, it’s surrounded by mountains and water. There is a stream below . Isn’t it beautiful? Yes, yes, if I don’t live here, our village will become a deep forest and this house may collapse. Uncle, you are the last village defender. Yes, that’s right. I uphold justice and will protect this place as long as I live. You are the guardian god. Because if you don’t live here, all these places will be completely deserted and overgrown with weeds. Just like the one across the street, this road is an example. I repaired all this road. I dug and repaired many roads on both sides of the bridge . Did you repair all the roads leading out of the mountain and in by yourself? Yes, I repaired all the roads leading into the village. I clear the weeds and repair the roads from time to time. Uncle, you are also helping the children protect their childhood. Ha, we have a long history here. This village has been here for many years . The Qing Dynasty government lived here for many years . We came here at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Were we fleeing at that time? We didn’t flee. We chose to live here because of the beautiful scenery and water resources. Uncle, all eight of you are the same. Is it a surname? An ancestor is a family with the same surname. They all moved here because of this environment. Um , my ancestors chose this place 200 years ago. They moved here more than 200 years ago. I know that when we were young, there were more than 30 people here. Later, people were born, and there are now 60 people here. You live outside. Do your children plan to come back and live here in the future? This environment is so good , it would be a shame to abandon it . Yes, the problem is that the road is blocked. I hope the government leaders can repair this road so they can go home and build new houses . Renovate their houses. Uncle, why do people in your village move out ? They work outside and make money, so they move out to live in the city. They can’t make a living here and can’t support their young people . Just like you living here, you can’t make money. It’s only suitable for the elderly to cultivate their character here, to grow crops, etc. My children live in various places. My eldest son lives in Guangdong, my second son lives in Guiyang, and my youngest son lives in Country Garden in the county town. Oh, my youngest son has three children. Uncle, maybe you won’t be used to living outside. I’m used to living here with the young people. It’s very troublesome. Have you ever lived with your children? Yes, I did for a while before , but I couldn’t get used to it, so I moved back home to live on my own. I lived with my youngest son at his house and took care of my grandson. At that time, my grandson was only two or three years old. Now he is in the first or second grade. I mean, his living habits are quite different from those of young people. Uncle, are there any wild animals in this mountain? No, there are no wild boars or wild monkeys. No, I have seen some small animals now. A few years ago, I saw wild boars digging in the fields over there and eating grain . There were some two years ago, right? Yes, four or five years ago, but there have been no wild boars in the past four or five years . Uncle, what’s your last name? My last name is Yan. Oh, my last name is Yan. I’m so old. I’m 68. It’s raining now. I’m 68, almost 70. Haha. So, if it rains, does that mean we need to harvest the millet? Do you need help harvesting the millet? If you do, we can help you. Do you feed pigs ? I don’t feed pigs. No, I feed pigs . I feed geese and a few chickens. Oh, I feed a few geese and a few chickens. Then you can sell your chickens and geese . No, how much will I get if I sell them ? Oh, how much are you going to sell the chickens for? I don’t sell chickens. There’s only one rooster and four hens. Oh, there’s only a few chickens. Haha , there’s a very small chicken. The hens are fed to lay eggs. They haven’t started crowing yet . Uncle, keep these chickens and ducks for yourself. I usually don’t sell food to my grandchildren . They should be back during the Chinese New Year. The eggs they eat are bought. They will come at the end of the year. So, you
usually grow your own food here. Do you need to go out to buy anything? Do you buy salt? Do you buy daily necessities such as salt, soy sauce, noodles, and tofu? How long does it usually take you to walk out? Half an hour. If you walk faster, it will take less than half an hour . If you walk faster, it will take you 20 minutes to walk. Where can I park ? Where is the parking space? Um, walk slowly. If you want to get something, it will take you half an hour. If we walk slowly , it may take us 40 minutes. If you walk for a long time, you may need to walk faster. I’m not used to this road . Uncle has very good physical strength. I can walk fast with nothing in my hands and it will take me 20 minutes to get there. Where can you park your car ? There are peanuts there. Have some . Yes, yes, uncle, how often do you go out of the mountain ? The supplies you buy can last for a long time. If you have time, then go when the market is open. That ‘s every five days . There is a market every five days. Sometimes, there is a market every ten days. Do you sell the eggs laid by the chickens or the crops? If not , uncle, I will save them for my grandchildren to eat. Hahaha. If you have too much, give it to your youngest son. He will carry it in a basket and give it to his son and grandchildren . Yes, uncle is very good. My daughters live here. I didn’t take care of it because it was far away. My daughter comes here to get some when she is free . I basically take care of my son. My son is local and closer to me. Does my uncle have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls? My daughters all live in other places, which is too far away. My eldest daughter is closer to me and also lives on the street. Oh, she lives on the street. Uncle, how many acres of land do you have personally ? There are two acres of fields over there, one and a half acres of land here, one acre and a half of corn planted, and three acres of vegetable garden . Isn’t the cornfield below the intersection yours? The cornfield below is not mine, it belongs to my neighbor. She comes back once a week. She feeds more than ten chickens in her house, chickens and ducks, uncle. Uncle , you mean there’s a neighbor next door. She comes here once in a while, right? Oh, she’s my brother’s wife , your sister-in-law. She raises some chickens and ducks in the house and comes to feed them every week. Uncle, come over here. The sun is shining. Come over here. Do you want to sit on the stool? Yes, you need to sit on the stool. Haha, have some of my peanuts. Haha, they’re delicious. Come and eat them. They’re good for your blood. Raw peanuts are good for your blood. Did you grow these peanuts yourself or buy them? I grew them myself. I just took them out from home for everyone to see. I picked a plump one . This is the one I carefully selected. I selected them one by one. Is it inconvenient for you to use water here? We have installed a water pipe for water use. Where is the pipe? The tap water has been cut off recently. The tap water has been cut off. Well, I didn’t care about it. There is a small well behind me. Oh, there is a well behind me . Well , as long as you use the water in the well, the flow will not stop. No, no , pump it, uncle . No, pump it, uncle . You have lived here since the Qing Dynasty. Ha, have your houses been repaired or rebuilt in the middle? No, this house is more than a hundred years old. Some houses are more than a hundred years old , just like the house below. This house is older, about a hundred years old . Our house is only a few decades old . Only the house below is more than a hundred years old. The house where I was born has been there since then, which means that this house is the oldest preserved in your village. Well, this house and ours are. Anyway, we were still young . I wasn’t born yet. I was born and grew up in this house and grew to this age. It is nearly 80 years old, that is, 80 years. This house We watched as this house and ours were renovated. The family lived here before. This house was built not long ago. There was another house here that was also not renovated. It was old not long ago. Later they moved to the opposite side. Do you have electricity here? Has it been on all the time since it was available? Uncle, how many people lived here at the most ? Only seven or eight families. Look, the planes are coming from this direction , flying very low . There are 11 households, right? There should be more than a hundred people in 11 households, no more than 50 to 60 people . There doesn’t seem to be much land here. Is it enough to feed so many people? There is land inside. It’s been converted from farmland to forest. There is a lot of land here . There are still many fields in this ditch, a lot of land. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When we were young, the food we produced was all produced in this direction . Hey, I thought it was only here. These were the only places where crops were grown. These were all fields for the whole village. Yeah, these are all fields . Yeah , thank you, uncle. Can we take a look around your house? Yeah, I’m sorry to bother you today. The cornfield below is separated Planted by my brother-in-law and sister- in-law. Oh, okay , let’s go around. I don’t have anything to eat for you . Thank you, hahaha. This is the corn planted by uncle. Hahaha, it’s already infested with worms . Hahaha, it’s used for seeds . Glutinous corn . From the conversation with uncle, I learned that there used to be about 10 households in the whole village, but now they have all moved out. Only he is left. There is an old lady next to him. She comes here from time to time, but to be honest , uncle is the only one who guards the village. Let me show you the cellar . Our rural cellar , there is a cellar here that can be opened. It ‘s so dark in there. You can store things here. It’s so dark. I remember when I was a child , the sweet potatoes were piled in here because they won’t rot if they are kept here, and they can be kept for planting the next year. I also learned from uncle that he doesn’t want to give up this place because his sons and grandchildren sometimes come back to see him and leave them a memory. I want to know where they were born. There is a stone mill here for grinding things . It is used to saw wood, but have you seen this? In our language, this is called a saw. It is used to saw wood in this way. Fortunately, there is still one person here who is holding on, otherwise these houses would all be overgrown with weeds. Look, the air here is fresh, surrounded by mountains, and you can breathe fresh air. You see, their beams are very beautifully carved. The uncle just said that some of their buildings here are more than 100 years old. Let’s go and see where the uncle grows his vegetables. His chickens are in the soil, and it seems that he grows eggplants. Now we have left the village. Let’s ask Yanzi how she feels today. Although the air here is very good and the scenery is picturesque , I don’t think I will come again. Look at my arm, I have fed all the mosquitoes in the village. As for this village, there is only an uncle in his 70s who has been silently holding on here. He hopes that their descendants can come back to live here and rebuild it, otherwise such a good environment will be abandoned. It’s a pity. Well, let’s share it here today. See you next time. Bye and
