learned the secret to inner (内心的) peace and everlasting (永恒的) life. But is it real? In a way, yes – and it happens to be right here in China.
Shangri-La was first mentioned in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon (《消失的地平线》). The book, written by British author James Hilton, tells the tale of a diplomat (外交家) who ends up in Shangri-La after a plane accident in Xinjiang’s Kunlun Mountains.
But Shangri-La is not in Xinjiang – rather, it is believed to be in Yunnan and Sichuan provinces. Although it has not been strictly proven, many people believe Hilton based his description of Shangri-La on writings by Joseph Rock. Rock was a botanist (植物学家) who explored these provinces in the 1920s and 1930s. What he saw in China very closely matches Hilton’s description of Shangri-La.
I first heard of Shangri-La in a video game called Far Cry 4. In this game, your character sometimes travels to Shangri-La to fight against demons (恶魔). In the game, the land is a beautiful place with rare animals and brave people. I think that the game’s creators were likely inspired (受启发) by both Lost Horizon and Rock’s writings.
