Why do we love mountains?
我们为什么热爱山峦？

Last weekend. I went on a solo trip to Kareri Lake. It is a 13-km-long trek which starts from Kareri village in Dharamshala. The beauty of Kareri Lake when you reach the top amazes you and this beauty cannot be understood unless you witness it yourself.
上个周末，我独自前往卡雷里湖（Kareri Lake）旅行。这是一段长达13公里的徒步路线，起点是达兰萨拉（Dharamshala）的卡雷里村。当你登顶时，卡雷里湖的美景会让你惊叹不已，而这种美只有亲眼所见才能体会。

I was told that it gets really cold at night. so I prepared myself. Or at least that's what I thought.
有人告诉我，夜晚会非常寒冷，所以我做好了准备——至少我是这么以为的。

Despite wearing 4 layers of clothes. was still shaking like a leaf. Unable to sleep in my tent. I went to the cookhouse where my guide and the cook were heating food for themselves.
尽管穿了四层衣服，我仍然冷得像树叶一样发抖。在帐篷里无法入睡，我去了厨房小屋，我的向导和厨师正在那里加热食物。

They were doing it in candlelight since there is no electricity at the top. As soon as they saw me standing outside the cookhouse shivering. they invited me inside and asked me to sit close to the gas stove.
因为没有电，他们借着烛光忙碌。一看到我在门外瑟瑟发抖，他们立刻邀请我进去，让我坐在燃气炉旁边。

They started singing local songs. often stopping in between. to translate the songs for me. l joined them in the songs I knew.
他们开始唱起当地的歌谣，时不时停下来为我翻译歌词。我也跟着哼唱那些我熟悉的旋律。

I could see the shy kid in me getting burned in the heat of that candle flame. I was overjoyed! In those moments. I felt free. Free of people. free of feelings. free of relationships. free of connections. Free of everything. Free of everyone. It was free! Truly free!
我能感觉到自己内心那个害羞的孩子，在烛火的温暖中渐渐融化。我欣喜若狂！在那些时刻，我感到自由——远离人群，远离情感，远离关系，远离羁绊，远离一切，远离所有人。那是真正的自由！

Once again. I was reminded that despite the hard conditions. there're people who don't complain and there are people who find a reason to be happy.
那一刻，我再次意识到，即使在艰苦的环境中，依然有人从不抱怨，也有人总能找到快乐的理由。

And their reason doesn't come in a battery-powered device. When you meet such people. it not only makes you happy but also fills you with gratitude for what you have.Oh.
ountains!
而他们的快乐，并不依赖于电子设备。当你遇到这样的人时，他们不仅让你感到幸福，还会让你对自己所拥有的一切充满感激。

啊，山峦！
