Not many people have really seen the beauty of Tibet.

That kind of beauty does not stop at the stunning sight witnessed in a momentary journey, or is defined by a scene of beauty.

That kind of beauty should be fluid, year after year, year after year, you and Tibet as a companion, feeling, experience, memory, and finally seem to be integrated.

　　Wang Xiangjun is one of the very few people.

Wang Xiangjun's photographs during his lifetime

　　He is not a native Tibetan, even a few years ago, he was still running for a living.

The camera in my hand is more like a spice for leisure time.

What changed the trajectory of his life was a landscape photo of Linzhi, Tibet. After reading it, he sighed and made up his mind to see it with his own eyes.

　　From 2012 to 2020, for more than seven years, he will have a panoramic view of the beauty of Tibet.

Taking Linzhi as a starting point, after he walked over 70 glaciers and snow-capped mountains, this rough estimate will be fixed forever.

　　The remote Yiga Glacier is the end of his life.

This "post-90s" young man from the rural area of ​​Guang'an, Sichuan will sleep here forever.

Wang Xiangjun's life image

　　Wang Xiangjun is an explorer who is keen to indulge in the glaciers, and the utterly cold and steep mountains cannot stop him.

That is the challenge he loves.

　　In the early morning of the 20th, he accidentally fell into the water in an ice waterfall that had been visited many times.

The down jacket was sinking due to the accumulation of water. After several struggles, Wang Xiangjun was exhausted.

The companion threw a bucket to him to support, and then went to seek rescue, but when he returned, there was no trace of the person and the bucket.

After many days of unsuccessful searching, Wang Xiangjun’s brother informed nearly 1.6 million followers of the sad news on his short video account.

　　Netizens are indeed accustomed to calling him "Pharaoh".

In the Internet age, Wang Xiangjun is an Internet celebrity, but it seems inappropriate to define him only as an "Internet celebrity".

On the short video platform, his nickname is "Tibetan Adventure King (Record Glacier)". As his younger brother said, he has been obsessed with glaciers and dedicated his life to glaciers.

　　Before his death, Wang Xiangjun did not like this label either.

"Don't call me'net celebrity', I am different from those who use traffic to make money, I do meaningful things."

　　Walking among the snow-capped mountains and glaciers, Wang Xiangjun used a lens to record everything in front of him, and the materials he provided became first-hand information on glaciers and climate change over time.

He didn't post videos for the so-called "red", he just wanted to be a free man.

In the video he took, some glaciers were not as clean and bright as imagined. Large areas of melting ice and snow looked shocking and silently conveyed the baton of environmental protection.

　　"Climate action starts with records." When he said this late last year, Wang Xiangjun was attending the 25th United Nations Climate Change Conference in Madrid, Spain.

Interviewed by reporters before death

　　To be invited to the stage of such a high level and share the bits and pieces of video materials he has collected over the years is a milestone in Wang Xiangjun's growth.

But more importantly, his efforts over the years have not only gained affirmation, but also transformed it into a real influence in a louder way and spread it to the world.

Wang Xiangjun shared his personal experience at the UN Climate Change Conference

　　Wang Xiangjun, who is doing "meaningful things", once wrote his personal guidelines on the platform account——

　　"I just love nature, go deep into it, just want to feel its beauty and energy, take pictures and record, and not destroy it. When I leave there, nothing will stay there."

　　This time, when he left there, he finally broke his promise.

He left himself there forever.

Lao Wang's pet dog "Potato" in 2018 can't wait to return to his owner.

　　But looking back at Lao Wang's life, it looked like a bird soaring in the sky.

His life was sealed at the age of thirty, but he once enjoyed the life that countless people yearn for.

　　Life has lengths and shortcomings, but the value of life is often not simply matched with it.

I hope that many years after Lao Wang left us, the images he took will still touch the world.

　　I hope that touch can make a little change in the world we live in.
