Reborn as Zha Cuo, the character from Life Tree whose ending left readers heartbroken, he binds himself to the Plateau Antics Guardian System. He is still the Kham man who clings to the dream of securing a stable job and longs for the grasslands, but he is no longer a mountain patrolman doomed to a tragic fate.
When he takes on the mine owner, he says the man’s brain must be “smeared with yogurt,” then casually recites poetry about the grasslands. To protect Tibetan antelopes, he builds them their own kindergarten and uses antics to ease the hardships of mountain patrol duty. To fight poachers, he cleverly sets up a trap with prayer flags and changes the fate of those who would have died.
He is both the mountain patrol team’s resident joker, making his teammates laugh and helping them through hardship, and a poet of the Three-River-Source Plateau, writing of the wind as verse and the grass as rhythm, filling the highlands with his devotion to protecting them.
Guard the snowy mountains, protect all living things, secure a stable job, and keep everyone safe. In this life, Zha Cuo will use his antics and poetry to protect the entire Three-River-Source region, ensuring tragedy never happens again and the grasslands resound with song forever!
The most touching thing about this article is that the tough and sincere Kham man Zhacuo in "The Tree of Life" was written into a plateau poet walking in the Sanjiangyuan. There is no bookish carving or deliberate piling up of words. His poems grow naturally from wind and snow, grassland, Tibetan antelopes and mountain patrols. He had not read many books, his skin was tanned by the plateau sun, his body was as tall and straight as a pine and cypress, but his words had a poetic touch. He uses snowy mountains as rhyme, grassland as length, and protection as core. He combines his attachment to home, awe of life, and love of ordinary life into simple and hot sentences. He is bold and brave when facing poachers, but gentle and soft when facing creatures. Under his rough appearance, he hides the most delicate and soft innocent heart. This contrast makes the character particularly vivid and three-dimensional. The author did not elevate or deify it, but just extended it along the soul of the original work: Zhacuo's poem is a confession to the land, a vow to protect it, and a romance hidden in the fireworks. He used the most straightforward words to describe the vastness and tenderness of the plateau, as well as the tenacity and beauty of life. After reading it, I just felt that the mountains and rivers are speechless, but the poetry has a voice. Zhacuo has never been a scholar on paper. He himself is the poem written by Gaoyuan to the world, warm, clean and eternal.
