laomudeng Church

"God loves the world" Old Mden Church built by French missionaries, the largest and most beautiful church in the Nu River. All the villages along the canyon have churches, and it is difficult to imagine that for more than a hundred years, most of the many ethnic groups here have abandoned their original faith and converted to Christianity, including Dongba and Tibetan Buddhism. (The bell at the door is made of shell casings) The missionaries even created text for them, the small blackboard is written in the scriptures, the prototype from the Latin version of the Bible, and later the Nurses used it.

Old Mden Village, the village of the famous, large-scale, beautiful old Mden Church, is the largest church in the Nu River Canyon. It was the seed planted by Western missionaries more than 100 years ago. Old Mden churches were built by French missionaries, not as gorgeous as Western churches, without gothic minarets, colorful windows and beautiful murals, but these churches are already very good buildings in the Nu River Grand Canyon. Most of the tourists here come to this church. Opposite the church is the majestic Gaoligong Mountain, next to a fish pond, which reflects the church reflection, very beautiful.

Old Mden church is not very big, because the old Mden village on the hillside of Biro Snow Mountain can witness the hardships and tenacity of the missionaries. The scenery of Old Mden Village is beautiful. When we arrived, although the weather was not good and it was raining, the whole village was cloudy and foggy, giving people a sense of cockroaches. It was still worth a visit here.

Two days before leaving, a couple from Zhejiang were chatting with old Mden and chatting with Zhiziluo. Because the Sheng brother from Zhejiang had been to old Mden before, he was full of praise for the Christmas of old Mden Church. Because I came two days early, I was fortunate to see the Christmas show of this year's old Mden rehearsal, and I am looking forward to it. After talking, the Sheng Ge couple has no chance of the Christmas of old Mden this year. Because this year is hosted by the Church of the village of Phe Agavadi. The communication of these messages is not needed here, and people in the four villages will carry their luggage the day before Christmas Eve to the host church to report and sleep on the loose basketball court outside the church until the end of the Christmas day event. They ensured a good moment with a pious wait. The modern communication tool for party people only when they answered the phone: I am here, you come! Yes, there is no noise and ignorance of the city. Christmas is here for the New Year, just like you and me. People here have to rest on Christmas Day, not to work. Instead of entering the office early in the morning - how crowded the square yesterday was, overflowing with compassion or empathy, feeling how difficult cleaning was last night... Here, Christmas is really a holiday, it is not easy to think, be grateful, praise life, and then rest! Do, do. Don't do, rest. Rather than frown, it is better to ban speech. People here, in my four days of wandering, no one shouted, no one said much. At most, I saw outsiders asking: Where to go? Come home to drink water! Can't help but say: revel in the city, then shh; onlook, then accuse...whose civilization is the flood? Yes, what is civilization? What is civilization? People here are humble and courteous, goodwill is not abused, good deeds are not rewarded, discipline is not harsh on others. I thought that Xu is the steepness of the mountains and the people here never refuse to raise their hands and agree to help each other. For example, the water source from the snow-capped mountains to the village needs to be repaired by the whole village. For example, the busy Suixin Inn Anjie, no matter how many people, will not forget everyone's requirements, such as the naughty son the first day of the busy Anjie to see his own painting, the next morning, still busy An sister saw the son and said: Auntie will see your painting as soon as you have time. So curious to ask brother Sheng, two years ago old Mden, Zhizi Luo appearance. Sheng brother smiled modestly, admitted to change. So, we can't wait to inquire, the road is through, the old Mden family built a house to repair the inn, the empty city Zhiziluo began to build again, the tea factory around the floor to build a house... The old Mden can't wait to be in the word after all! Then, the problem is here! The Nu River, which once guarded the west of the city and blocked the Japanese army's hoof, is no longer quiet; can the Dulong River adhere to the four seasons still adhere to it? What is wealth? How should civilization be defined? What is the meaning of human beings searching for poetic habitats? Under the banner of civilization, trampling on a life that everyone yearns for, is this the pursuit of civilized society? We seem to be racing against a precious thing, just to see the true face and benefit a lot before it disappears! And we can do nothing, like the small stones in the river.

Old Mden, 11 kilometers from the riverside road to Old Mden Village, because it is going at night, on the dark winding road, I feel no end, while scared, while looking forward, it seems to have experienced most of my life, finally came to the sister flower inn booked by the phone, the proprietress is sweet, while cooking, while singing, I feel that there are songs in the food, the old Mden attractions look at the picture, absolute value
