It all comes from one movie.

In the summer of 2014, the tense high school entrance examination ended and I was thinking about how to relax. At that time,"Tiny Times 3" was in full swing in cinemas, and Han Han's "No Future Meeting" was a good deal at the box office and reputation. In line with the pursuit of literature and art, I decisively watched "Meeting Without Future". After watching the movie, I can't say that it had much influence on me. I can only say that many pictures of the movie were deeply imprinted in my mind. The beginning and end of the film are set on an island I have never heard of. The opening song is passionate and affectionate, but it is accompanied by a lonely picture of people leaving the building empty and grass covering the stone wall. At the end, there is an endless stream of tourists on the island, but it gives the protagonist, who is left with only one person, a lonely picture of a rainy day. The strong contrast is full of deep irony. What kind of person and what kind of place can be lonely to this extent? When no one cares, it stands alone, but when people come in droves, it is still alone.

Every time I am alone, the picture of the island with misty rain and lush vegetation in the movie will come to mind. It's like the legendary Macondo in "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

During the 18-year winter vacation, I reviewed this movie and decided to visit this island that I have been thinking about for many years this year. He made an appointment with his old deskmate zl to leave when he had time.

Tips：

East Pole Island does not refer to an island, but the general term for all islands in East Pole Town. The main tourist areas include Miaozi Lake, Qingbang Island, Dongfu Mountain and Huangxing Island. Among them, Miaozi Lake is most famous as the largest island in the east pole, as well as the location of "There is no future" and has the statue of Cai Bogong, the iconic structure of the east pole. There are flights between the islands for tourists and residents to and from.

The following picture is a route map from Ningbo to the East Pole Island on May Day in 18th. Due to weather conditions, we did not reach the Potala Palace on the sea-Qingbang Island (the following article will explain it).

Ferry tickets are one of the most important things I think need to pay attention to when visiting the island.

Book in advance!!!

The Zhoushan Sea Star Ship can be booked on the public account or some travel websites, otherwise you will easily encounter the embarrassing situation of selling out tickets and not being able to board the island (lesson from blood

Prices on the island are high, but they are completely acceptable. Because it is remote, it is understandable. There are not many residents who actually live on the island. Most of them open B & Bs on the island during the peak tourist season, so the hotel is rich in resources and affordable at prices. Because there are a large number of empty houses without people, camping is also a good option, and the houses provide a certain barrier.

Let's talk about my trip here.

Zl and I agreed to meet in Ningbo on April 28 and take a bus to Shenjiamen. We planned to stay for one night and buy a ticket to the island early the next morning (actually, we couldn't get the reservation ticket online, but now I think about it, I really wasn't ready at that time).

The bus was heading east in the changing scenery of day and night, and I was a little excited. This was the rhythm of taking off!

As a result, as soon as we got off the bus at the stop, it really took off. The B & B board on the roadside soliciting business immediately came over: "Young man, where are you going tomorrow? Do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Well, I thought I might as well live here and ask my boss about the ticket status. "Let's go to the East Pole Island. Will it be easy to buy tomorrow's ticket?"

The boss was surprised: "You came without a reservation? There is definitely no ticket to the East Pole Island during the May Day holiday."

I was also surprised, but I wasn't willing to accept it. Later, the boss suggested that I go in line in the middle of the night, maybe I could pick up a leak when ticket sales started in the morning.

After settling down in a B & B, the two of us discussed what to do. Do you want to do it or not? Fuck! Who asked me to travel? Everyone came. It's nine o'clock, we leave at one o'clock, uh... That's tough!

Zl began to make an appointment for the Didi car in the middle of the night."Uh, master, can you pick us up at 1 o'clock tomorrow? We will go to the dock."

"Okay, there won't be many people at one o'clock in the afternoon. They'll be here on time."

"I said one in the morning..."

“......”

Later, the confused master still accepted the order, and we also came to the dock in a daze with our eyes closed again.

When I arrived at the dock, I was surprised to find that we were not the only ones. There were already people guarding the ticket booth. After chatting, we learned that they had not bought tickets in advance like us, and then came down to the dock for a vigil at the suggestion of the locals.

In the empty dock, a few young people were walking away as they wished, taking a nap with their faces pressed against the iron railings of the ticket office. Eh, the picture was so beautiful.

After walking around the beach along the dock, there was no light in the endless darkness. The brilliance of the full moon cannot make the sea show any face. In such a situation, it is easy to understand the feeling of a night sailing sailor when he sees a distant lighthouse. Even a trace of light in the darkness, even a strand, will fill people's hearts with hope.

The seaside in the night was extremely quiet. The wind was gentle and cool, and even the sound of the seawater beating on the shore was so careful. Never before have I been so eager to see the day come quickly.

I stayed until dawn with my sleepy eyes, and I watched the world little by little from darkness to gradually emerging outline and then shining brightly. There were more and more people at the ticket counter, the noise gradually rose, and the loneliness of the night was swept away.

I forced my dry eyes to open and watched as the glass window of the ticket window was opened. There was a voice that people present feared most: "Tickets for May Day are sold out!"

At first, people left the long line, and excited people crowded to the window to inquire. Zl and I looked into each other's eyes, each with a wry smile. Could the trip that I had planned for so long just fall through?

After waiting for nearly an hour, I was already backing out. Or change my plan and go to another place in Zhoushan? At this time, exciting news suddenly came from the window. Because a tour group was blocked and resulted in collective refunds, there were many remaining tickets to buy. I quickly sent a message to ZL, who was out to buy breakfast, and asked him to come back and use his ID card to buy tickets. He also replied to me immediately, saying that you could also buy tickets online, so we each took care of our own affairs. The result…

Zl: "Hey, I bought the 6:30 one..."

"Wo... I bought the 8:30 ticket, but there are no tickets for the 6:30 ticket in Kawaguchi..."

So... during the trip together, there was a scene of saying goodbye before they even started. Ah, the longest distance in the world is when we come out together, but you are on the boat and I am on the shore...

I still don't forget to send my sincere blessings on my parting...

"Brother, I'll go first and help you explore the way."

There were still two hours before I boarded the ship, and there was nothing to do, so I walked all the way along the coastline. The weather was sunny with a little fog. The silent coast began to wake up gradually. I often see people running along the road near the sea in movies, and I am really envious. Now that I am immersed in the scene, it is beautiful and more authentic. I suddenly remembered that in November last year, the class assistant organized us to go to Songlan Mountain for a barbecue. After the meal, we sat together to chat and play games. How could I sit there, so I encouraged my roommate Lao Wang to go to the newly built plank road by the seaside with me. As a result, we walked three to five kilometers... Suddenly, the squad leader called,"Where are you? Come back, we're leaving!"

“……”

Who can withstand this? Why did he leave at the same time when he went back? Quickly turn around and run away with Lao Wang. At that time, I was still a little excited. Running at the beach was so great! Although it was a little embarrassed. But it's really comfortable, looking at the endless vast world and enjoying the wind from another continent. He even thought to himself that he would find a city with such a coastal road to settle down in the future. enmmm... Just as she was feeling beautiful in her heart, she realized that Lao Wang was no longer around her. When I looked back, I realized that I was panting and resting behind...

I was stunned, thinking about these and other beautiful memories, and time passed quickly. Seeing that it was almost time, I returned to the dock. The small waiting room was crowded with people. In a trance, I heard someone calling my name. I looked around and searched. It turned out that I had met a classmate. Hqy is my classmate in college. She is a girl. She has never missed out on volunteers, marathons, hiking, and cycling. I admire it from the bottom of my heart. Such a strange encounter means that fate has not escaped.

There are not many boats heading for the East Pole Island, only two or three, so there are not many flights. The ship is divided into three cabins: upper, middle and lower. The upper cabin can see the scenery at sea. The middle cabin has windows but basically cannot see the outside. The lower cabin is located in the lower part of the ship and has no windows. I bought a middle cabin, so that I could move around at will after the ship left. Facts also proved that choosing the cabin was meaningless, because I was on the deck the entire time and never sat down at all...

The ship carried the huge roar of turbines and made waves one after another heading east. You can see the huge statue of Guanyin on Putuo Mountain from afar, which really feels like a real person has descended to earth. Halfway through the journey, an obvious yellow and blue dividing line appeared in the sea, which was as magical as clear as it was. Without words, it told us that the mainland was far away.

After feeling the fierce sea breeze for two hours, an exciting figure appeared. Like all people from the East Pole, I saw the only truth in the ethereal sea. The statue of Caibogong stands on Miaozi Lake, holding the torch high, bringing hope to every lonely soul floating on the sea.

After getting off the boat and landing, I saw zl in the crowd. It took the man two hours to find a place to check his bag. (ps: Before leaving, he said that he would bring a computer to the island and experience eating chicken on the island.

The entire Miaozi Lake is a hill, so it started to walk upwards as soon as it landed. Most of the houses on the island are B & Bs, and many abandoned old houses were also seen along the way. All of them are high-end sea view rooms, with no dead spots in all directions. After a little rest, they are all equipped with characteristic hotel configurations.

There was a large area of exposed rocks on the side of the sea. When he sat down suddenly, his butt burned a little.

Sitting on the stone, he filled a bottle of eight-treasure porridge and served it as lunch. Different from the feeling on the dock, the waves here feel so close, and the sea shows its true blue color. If you want to indulge yourself, you can hug the sea at a distance.

By the way, there are really many couples who come to the East Pole Island to visit, and most of them are in pairs along the way. Thinking about it, this place is indeed suitable for two people to sit down, look at the sea, and talk about this and that. Looking at the partner next to me, then looking at the partner of my brother sitting on the stone over there, sadness surged into my heart. Forget it, it's okay not to mention it…

Miaozi Lake is actually not big. Walking slowly for two hours is enough to hike around the island. The terminal also has projects that provide sightseeing buses. At the beginning of May, the vegetation is still a little withered, and the cool sea breeze seems to bring people's senses to autumn, giving a completely desolate scene.

I didn't even dare to get close enough to take pictures of my face. Our hairstyles at that time were hairspray on the back. However, the wind on the island was strong, and the hair was not only messy, but also couldn't be adjusted back because of the hairspray. We could only leave a vague picture.

Miaozi Lake, as the location of "There is no future" and the main population settlement in the East Pole Island area, is naturally popular number one. But after most of the day's comprehensive tour, I didn't leave any unique impression. Except that the statue of Bo Gong Cai and a desolate scene of lush vegetation echoed my imagination, it didn't give me any special surprise. But it is also a clear dream that has been solved for many years. As the sun gradually fell to the sea level, we took a boat to Dongfu Mountain and sailed into a new distance in the blue.
