巴基斯坦曾是古老的丝绸之路上一颗耀眼的明珠,玄奘在《大唐西域记》中称赞它是“花果繁茂”的天府之国。如今,这个国家笼罩着些许神秘、动荡、不安的气息。我从巴基斯坦西北边境的白沙瓦,沿着传奇的中巴公路(KKH)一路向北,前往吉尔吉特地区,几乎每5—10公里就有全副武装的军警接力护送。我试图透过这并非常见的旅途“风景”去观察当地人的生活。 Pakistan was once a dazzling pearl on the ancient Silk Road. Xuan Zang praised it as the “land of abundance” in the book “The Great Western Regions.” Today, the country is enveloped in a little mysterious, turbulent and restless atmosphere. From Peshawar on the northwestern border of Pakistan, I traveled north along the legendary CMB Highway (KKH) to the Gilgit area, armed with heavily armed police relay escorts for almost 5-10 km. I try to observe the life of the locals through this rather unusual journey “scenery”.
