She said it was because she saw a picture and wanted to go with him to this dreamlike place.

But unfortunately, they went their separate ways due to fate.

She said that during those days, the more she tried to forget, the more painful it became. She deleted all records of the two of them and cut off all possible means of contact.

She said that if he had turned back that day, she might have softened, and the story might have turned out differently.

On the flight from Wenzhou to Golmud, I met her, a very beautiful girl.

This time, her solo trip was originally meant to be a trip for two.

A beautiful fairy tale, after all, cannot escape the mundanity of daily life.

This trip, her destination was Golmud, to walk on the Ten-Thousand-Li Salt Bridge, to see the dreamlike Chaerhan Salt Lake.

Chaerhan Salt Lake is known as the King of Salt Lakes and is the largest salt lake in the world.

He said that Chaerhan Salt Lake is 56 times the size of Chaka Salt Lake, and its salt reserves can feed 7 billion people for 1,000 years.

She said, have you seen what the Chaerhan Salt Lake in Golmud, Qinghai looks like? Shades of green, deep and shallow, spread wantonly across the vast plateau, poetic, all the way to the horizon...

He said, the most dreamlike journey worth having in life—a tour of the dreamlike Chaerhan Salt Lake in Golmud, Qinghai.

She said, there is the azure sky here, always accompanied by romance, with "white clouds drifting" everywhere.

Now, she speaks calmly about her own story, those days being the hardest in her life.

She said that although the beginning of the Chaerhan appointment was a romantic one,

after this journey, she will say goodbye to the past.

When talking about her story with him, she was still a little reluctant. Seeing that his profile picture still had her photo, she sometimes couldn't help but miss him. She said that although she knew the two of them were not right for each other, nothing else mattered at that time except him being by her side.

At her age, many classmates and friends already have partners, some even have children. At home, her mother still dotes on her, not wanting her to be sad.

That year, she had just graduated and was teaching at a primary school near her home. Because her mother wanted her and her brother to stay by her side.

Seeing her dejected, her mother tacitly agreed to her resignation.

After many hesitations, she left this nine-to-five, routine work life.

In the story, her resignation was related to her previous heartbreak. Wanting to escape this familiar place, she deleted the account she had been running, just to never see him again.

During those days, her mother worried and felt heartache for the apple of her eye, whose emotional path was full of thorns.

Through sleepless nights, she let time wash away her reluctance and longing.

She comforted her mother, saying: "Life's detours must be taken, not one step less; no matter how much you warn me, it's useless."

On the surface, she seemed strong, but inside she was fragile. She said that if he had turned back at that moment, things might have been different.

He was the one she cared about most; during the time they were together, she threw away all her previous standards for choosing a partner.

But at that moment, he just refused to accommodate her.

There were many more stories of hers. Listening to them, the journey felt shorter.

I arrived at the Chaerhan scenic area two days later than she did. She said that seeing this place she had longed for, she was truly captivated by its beauty. Although she didn't see the salt flowers from the pictures, the white salt flowers beside the pavilion, like cotton candy and coral, made her linger and forget to leave.

When I got there, I found that after walking for a long time, the roads all looked the same.

Near the observation deck, I saw many photography enthusiasts taking aerial shots, recording the beautiful, endless salt lake from God's perspective.

On the lake shore to the left of the pavilion, several young girls took turns taking photos, lying on the salt flowers, smiling and waving at the drone in the sky...
