Although the national implementation of the When we left Henan Mongolian Autonomous County in Qinghai Province, when a heavy snow falling here, the temperature dropped to about minus 25 degrees Celsius, we are more worried about the winter for these children, we decided to go to Henan Mongolian Autonomous County, 35 kilometers away from the neighboring county Ze County library to see, do not know the situation there in the end do? winter snow-covered plateau of Qinghai, climate is unpredictable, will present a vast expanse of whiteness could not see anything to become clear, a fine blowing smoke will Snow, one would then become blue skies, this weather also caused inconvenience to our interview.
reluctant driver to master this place, the road was slippery at the slightest mistake could turn down to the car . the car did not dare to open air, if not the oil, it means that we can not return to the county .4 hours later we finally arrived hot sun Zeku County of Qinghai Province Baden village primary school, where height is 4,000 meters above sea level , temperature minus 25 degrees Celsius, wind to 6.
