Recently, a large number of netizens have posted videos and pictures of clocking in at a place called Kulong Mountain in the Taihang Mountains. From a specific perspective, backpackers seem to be hanging on a cliff, which looks very exciting. This route, known as the "Double Ridge Line" by backpackers, connects Wangmang Ridge in Shanxi and Shizi Ridge in Henan, and is popular for its landscapes such as alpine meadows and cliffs. These thrilling scenes that receive likes on social media are behind the adventurous behavior of crossing undeveloped areas. The South Taihang Scenic Area in Henan and the Wangmangling Scenic Area in Shanxi have responded successively, denying that the area is under their jurisdiction and clearly warning of the risks: "Ordinary people do not have experience and equipment, and it is not recommended to go there." This set of photos "hanging" on the edge of the cliff is a microcosm of some of the current exploration culture. It seems to pursue the wild charm of natural exploration, but in fact, it is a performance with safety as a bargaining chip. In the era of social media, this adventurous behavior is often endowed with a romantic imagination of challenging oneself and pursuing freedom, but it dilutes its essence - an irresponsible game of luck in life. The core of the true spirit of exploration is reverence for nature, not blind adventure. The explorers who have been remembered in history have all challenged nature with sufficient knowledge, training, and equipment support. Nowadays, some backpackers' so-called exploration is more like a "check-in competition" at the edge of the safety red line: the better the off-road route, the more dangerous and cool the picture, and even deliberately avoid developed safety areas and head straight for the unprotected wilderness. This mentality is not so much about exploring nature as it is about catering to the logic of traffic - using thrilling images to gain attention, creating a sense of superiority with someone else who dares not but I dare. The algorithmic recommendations on social media platforms have invisibly fostered this trend. When "cliff hanging photos" gain higher interaction due to curiosity, similar content is constantly pushed and imitated, forming distorted incentives that are more dangerous and popular. Some participants may not be unaware of the risks, but they selectively ignore them under the temptation of virtual honors. They may remember to bring their cameras, but they don't have all the necessary life-saving equipment; Perhaps the shooting angle is carefully designed, but there is a lack of necessary safety assessment for weather changes and route complexity. This behavior of prioritizing performance over safety has deviated from the original intention of outdoor sports. What is even more alarming is that such behavior shifts personal risks to social costs. Once an accident occurs, rescue forces have to enter undeveloped areas for search and rescue, which not only consumes a large amount of public resources but also puts rescue personnel in a dangerous situation. In recent years, there have been frequent cases of rescue operations initiated by backpackers who cross the border illegally. Everyone has the freedom to choose their lifestyle, but freedom should never be built on the basis of unjustly burdening others and society. The staff of the South Taihang Scenic Area in Henan Province pointed out the key to the problem by saying, 'There are always some people desperately searching for excitement.'. Seeking stimulation is human nature, but the progress of civilized society is precisely based on reason and rules, rather than indulging their proliferation. We respect diverse leisure travel methods and understand modern people's desire to break through conventions, but all of this must be based on the premise of cherishing life and taking responsibility. For scenic spots, relying solely on signs to indicate risks is far from enough. In the face of hiking routes such as the "Shuangling Line", it may be considered to form closer cooperation with outdoor organizations and social platforms. Proactively issuing risk warnings, clarifying the specific location and potential hazards of undeveloped areas; Establish a linkage mechanism with local rescue forces and make emergency preparations in advance. Further strengthen cooperation with the platform and provide more safe alternative options - by building standardized trails and organizing professional leader activities, we can channel the impulse to explore onto a sustainable track. Freedom is not about doing what you want, it's about teaching you not to do what you don't want to do. Choosing to turn around at the edge of a cliff sometimes requires greater courage and wisdom than choosing to hang. The beauty of mountains and rivers ultimately needs to be approached in a safe way; The joy of life does not have to rely on the moment when life is hanging by a thread. After all, the value of life lies not in a stunning photo, but in its ability to walk steadily and for a long time in a broader world. (New Society)
