Since ancient times, people's pursuit of truth has never stopped. In ancient times, people imagined that there were gods such as Chang'e, Jade Rabbit, etc. living in the palace in the sky, but he was the first person who dared to fly to the sky to prove it; in modern China's reform, he dared to venture into dangerous shoals and break through strongholds. Ice, the Chinese people's footprints go to snowy plateaus and Antarctic frozen areas, and they are omnipotent from heaven to sea.

We have been working hard in the pursuit of truth and science. As the hometown of Emperor Yan, Shennongjia has been circulated with various legends for thousands of years, coating it with a layer of mystery and attracting many people with lofty ideals to come and explore.

Shanxi worker Zhang Jinxing is also one of them. He once abandoned everything in order to find the savage , including his wife who had been with him for many years. Although it is still unclear whether the savage really exists, he has no regard for his efforts and efforts over the years. No regrets.

Speaking of the legend of the savages in Shennongjia, it can be traced back to 1956. On that April day when the grass was growing and warblers were flying, local resident Wang Conmei was returning from herding cattle as usual. On her way home, she was attacked by an unknown species. She was frightened and shouted for help. Wang Congmei's parents came after hearing the news and saw their daughter being thrown to the ground by a strange creature. They had never seen that creature before. It was hairy and had extremely developed limbs.

When they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately called in many villagers as helpers. They took sickles, sticks and other tools and beat the unknown creature until it was dying and unable to move before stopping. They observed this creature carefully and found that except that its body was covered with long hair, its trunk and limbs were very similar to those of humans, so everyone called it "Savage".

The beaten savage was carried home by the villagers. After being cut into eight pieces, each family shared some equally and ate it as ordinary poultry meat. Its limbs were sent to the local government department for storage. Many years later, experts conducted research based on the preserved limbs and found that it was actually a short-tailed macaque. The legend of the "Shennonjia Savage" was self-defeating.

Since then, many people have said that they have witnessed traces of savages in Shennongjia, but they have lost their credibility because there is no evidence. This mystery continued, attracting Shanxi worker Zhang Jinxing, until 1994, when Zhang Jinxing decided to find out for himself.

He simply packed a few clothes and toiletries, went through a series of local procedures to enter the mountain, and headed into the depths of the Shennongjia Mountains lightly packed. After returning to nature, his first concern was food and housing. When he first entered the mountains, Zhang Jinxing prepared some of his own food rations, but it only lasted him more than half a month.

The terrain of Shennongjia is steep and the roads are rugged. Food from outside cannot come in at all. He can only use local materials and find wild fruits on trees to temporarily satisfy his hunger. As for the issue of accommodation, he carefully examined the topography around the mountain forest, and finally selected a small cave based on various factors. He used stones from the mountain forest to build a circle of walls around the small cave where Anju lived, and placed his own daily necessities in the cave. In this way, a safe nest was built.

During the decades he lived in Shennongjia looking for savages, three wives left him. The reason was without exception that they did not want to live such a boring and difficult life with him.

His first wife strongly opposed him going into the mountains to look for savages, but the stubborn Zhang Jinxing went anyway. At first, the wife would send clothes and food to her husband who lived in the deep mountains and old forests. Later, time wiped out all the enthusiasm, and the long relationship between the two Living apart and sending supplies back and forth made the first wife miserable, and she finally filed for divorce.

The second wife is a Russian-Chinese. The reason why she and Zhang Jinxing were together was because of her curiosity about the savages and her admiration for Zhang Jinxing's behavior. However, after experiencing the life in the deep mountains and old forests, she found that everything was not as she thought. It was so beautiful, but in the end I couldn't stand the hard life and chose to leave.

’s third wife is an Australian. She got close to Zhang Jinxing just to steal the savage hair from him. In the end, she failed to steal the chicken but lost the rice, and the marriage ended in disgrace.

However, the unsatisfactory marriage did not hinder Zhang Jinxing's enthusiasm for adventure. Although he had never met a savage, he became the first person to discover the red-haired wild boar and made a great contribution to the study of species diversity in our country.

Many people today cannot understand his behavior and think that it is not worth it that he has spent a lot of time and energy with little results. However, if you are young and work hard, you will be successful. If you sit on the bench for ten years, only Only by staying calm, studying hard, and not being afraid of failure can you get closer and closer to success. Today’s efforts are all building up strength for a better tomorrow.
