It is a trip that is worth remembering forever.
I was planning my trip on the high-speed train in Beijing more than half a month ago. I saw that this restaurant provided a pick-up service, and I was instantly attracted. I called the boss to ask for details. When the call was connected, I knew that it was a familiar Northwest man, generous and enthusiastic, "If you don't call me, I will call you two days in advance... Any other questions?" Thousands of kilometers away, he laughed out loud, "No, no, see you then!"
As soon as I got off the train, Dunhuang in winter was clear and vast. The boss arrived as promised. He helped us plan the itinerary and cleaned the messy room made by my friend and me (my friend and I were going to clean up the room before leaving, but I didn't expect that the boss would clean it up as soon as we came back, and also found a place to put the bag thrown on the ground 😂).
On the last night in Dunhuang, I strolled around the night market. "Call me whenever you want to come back. I won't rush you. Call me when you have enough fun and I will be there in a few minutes."
Two or three minutes after hanging up the phone, he still arrived as promised. On the way back, I chatted with the boss. Hearing that my friend and I were from Urumqi, the boss told me stories from more than ten years ago, about him, about Urumqi, and about the past years.
The journey of more than ten minutes made me reluctant to leave this city.
The next morning, the boss still carried my and my friend's suitcases weighing dozens of kilograms with both hands, "Let's go!"
When I stood in front of the train station to say goodbye, I wanted to say something, but then I was afraid of being hypocritical, so I just said "Thank you so much for these two days." The boss was also honest and waved his hand, "If you have time, just give me a good review."
In fact, even if I didn't mention it, I would have written it 😄 and joked with my friends, "The boss has been dealing with the tourism industry all his life." He has met so many people coming and going, and said goodbye to so many people. It must be a wonderful life.
There is no future in life, but I still hope to have the opportunity to go to Dunhuang again. Finally, I wish the boss a prosperous business and peace and success!
