Alternative Thanksgiving Day - Chinese Americans climb mountains together (Photos) (Qingbao Report) November 24, 2011 is Thanksgiving, a traditional holiday in the United States. It is a day for family reunion. Chinese Americans overseas hope to use this holiday to enhance the relationship between friends. The Phoenix Branch of the Chinese Professional Association of Scientists and Engineers (Science and Engineering College) organized a unique mountain climbing activity. Don’t think that it is just walking on the mountain climbing road. This time, you can really experience the "climbing" feeling of mountain climbing. At 10 o'clock in the morning, more than 20 people participating in the event arrived at the foot of Nanshan Mountain in Phoenix City. Xu Qiang, president of the Science and Technology Institute, Huang Wen, the organizer of the event, and Amoy gave the order and led the team to set off. Originally, I planned to follow the park hiking route up the mountain, but at someone’s suggestion, I abandoned the park route, created my own dangerous path, and climbed the “wild mountain”. Fortunately, the participants were all in good health, and there was an orthopedic surgeon in the team to protect them. Participants followed without hesitation (do not imitate). There was no way, so I could only crawl with my hands and feet. The hand that usually typed on the keyboard was grasped on the cold, angular rocks. It felt really good, because it had been a long time since I had had close contact with nature. When my feet hit a small point of strength, I quickly sent my body to the target position. The movements must be agile, otherwise the strength of the hands will not be able to support it. Several children and young people arrived at the front one after another. The elder sisters and brothers behind them supported each other, taught each other experience, and moved forward step by step. I don’t know how many times I heard everyone in the team say: "I can’t do it, I can’t do it." But they still couldn’t stop. A few small plants between the trees can also become a focal point, allowing big men to climb up the mountain vigorously. After crawling, everyone began to complain that they were tired, so Amoy’s wife used her bag to help everyone carry water. Others walked in front, sat on the rocks, and cheered for their friends behind. It was an adventure team with a strong atmosphere of mutual help. Difficulty moving forward, close contact with the rocks, unlimited scenery on the dangerous peaks, almost everyone climbed to the first Big Marble Ridge, everyone celebrated each other and took photos. Standing on the top of a high mountain, looking down at the huge rocks of different shapes below, it can be described as majestic. The huge education center building where we set out to gather has become a small square. Looking from a distance, it seems that a horse team is coming down the mountain. Are there people riding horses up the mountain to celebrate Thanksgiving? Although the caravan attracted our attention, everyone was still trembling in their hearts, fearing that they would call the police after seeing us... Infinite scenery on dangerous peaks It is easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down the mountain. When it came time to go down the mountain, there were also many dangers. At the place where many people have stepped on the mountain, the sand has become loose, and the sand has slipped to the surface of the rock. It is particularly slippery. Some people took a detour, and some held hands together to form a human ladder. They arrived at the foot of the mountain smoothly without any danger. Good guy, this is incredible. When we reached the bottom of the mountain, the children started shouting that it was too boring. Some of them were very interested and asked to climb another difficult mountain. There was no other way, so the "leaders" finally decided to split into two groups and continue "wild climbing" all the way to prepare delicious food at the foot of the mountain. The Thanksgiving "Adventure Team" at the top of Yunshiding should be eaten to the fullest The famous Amoy braised eggs and kimchi, Huang Wen's cold noodles, and Tinna's tiger pepper are the most popular. Almost all of them were sold out. Amoy proudly started to brag about the "braised eggs and kimchi" that has never been eaten before or since. You will never get tired of eating it. This is his exclusive secret recipe. If you want to truly eat the best stir-fried kidneys in Phoenix, you must follow Amoy. Some applauded Amoy, while others were dissatisfied and snarled. The participants enjoyed the food and chatted together. Dr. Gu Yutong, who came to Phoenix from Zhongshan Hospital in Shanghai, China to participate in academic exchange activities, was well received. People with spine, joint and other diseases also took the opportunity to come for free consultation. Xu Qiang, the president of the Institute of Science and Technology, made an impromptu move to invite all the participants home and held an impromptu Thanksgiving party. They had turkey, baked chicken, fine wine, fragrant tea, and everything. Everyone talked about politics, overseas life, and medical care until 11 o'clock in the evening, and they reluctantly dispersed.
