Kang Qiyuan: Reflecting on a Shared Future Across Different Landscapes

——从秦岭低碳实践到川西生态观察的青年探索者

— A Young Explorer Extending Environmental Reflection from Qinling to Western Sichuan

2025年夏末，连绵起伏的雪山、广阔的高原草甸、缓慢流淌的河流，构成了川西独特而脆弱的生态图景。对17岁的康起源而言，这并不仅仅是一段旅行，更是一次源自秦岭、延伸至更广阔自然系统的环保思考之旅。

In late summer 2025, in Western Sichuan, snow-capped mountains, vast alpine grasslands, and winding rivers formed a landscape both magnificent and fragile. For 17-year-old Kang Qiyuan, this journey was more than travel — it was an extension of environmental reflection that began in the Qinling Mountains and expanded into a broader ecological perspective.

从秦岭出发的思考延伸

Extending Reflections Beyond the Qinling Mountains

此前在秦岭低碳环保论坛中的深入参与，让康起源第一次系统地理解了“区域生态”的概念——不同地貌、气候与人类活动，决定了环保策略不可能被简单复制。

His prior participation in the Qinling low-carbon forum helped Kang develop a systematic understanding of regional ecology — recognizing that environmental strategies cannot be universally applied, as landscapes, climates, and human activities vary significantly.

正因如此，在前往川西之前，他便带着一个问题出发：

如果把在秦岭学到的环保经验放到另一片土地上，它们是否依然适用？

With this in mind, Kang began his journey to Western Sichuan with a central question:

If the environmental approaches learned in Qinling were applied elsewhere, would they still work?

在高原，看见不同的生态逻辑

Understanding a Different Ecological Logic on the Plateau

在川西高原，康起源留意到，当地生态保护的核心并不完全相同。相比秦岭对森林、水源与生物多样性的系统性保护，川西地区更强调草地生态、牦牛放牧、人地共生与文化传统之间的平衡。

While in Western Sichuan, Kang observed that ecological priorities differed from those in Qinling. Instead of forest-centered conservation, the region focuses more on grassland ecosystems, yak grazing, and the balance between human livelihood and traditional culture.

在与当地居民和向导的交流中，他了解到，许多环保措施必须尊重高原生活方式，否则即便出发点良好，也难以长期实施。

Through conversations with local residents and guides, Kang learned that environmental initiatives must align with plateau lifestyles — otherwise, even well-intentioned efforts may fail to last.

“真正可持续的保护，必须让生活在这里的人参与其中。”

这是他在随身笔记中反复记录的一句话。

“True sustainability only exists when the people who live here are part of the solution.”

This was a sentence he noted repeatedly in his travel journal.

从“低碳”到“在地保护”的理解升级

From Low-Carbon Awareness to Place-Based Conservation

如果说秦岭之行让康起源理解了低碳理念的普遍价值，那么川西之行则让他意识到：

环保不仅需要共识，更需要因地制宜的智慧。

If Qinling introduced Kang to the universal value of low-carbon living, Western Sichuan taught him that environmental protection also requires place-based wisdom.

他开始思考，不同地区应如何结合自身生态特点，设计真正可行的保护方式——

在秦岭，是减少人为干扰、守护生态屏障；

在川西，则是尊重自然节律，维护人与自然之间的长期协作关系。

He reflected on how different regions could design realistic conservation approaches based on local conditions —

In Qinling, minimizing human disturbance to protect ecological barriers;

In Western Sichuan, respecting natural rhythms and sustaining long-term human–nature cooperation.

青年的角色：连接理解与行动

The Role of Youth: Bridging Understanding and Action

在这次川西行程中，康起源并未以“游客”的视角快速经过，而是尝试记录、比较、反思。他将观察到的内容与秦岭论坛中的讨论进行对照，逐渐形成了更立体的环保认知框架。

Rather than approaching Western Sichuan as a casual traveler, Kang documented, compared, and reflected throughout the journey. By linking his observations to discussions from the Qinling forum, he developed a more multidimensional understanding of environmental protection.

他意识到，青年所能扮演的角色，并非立刻给出答案，而是提出更好的问题——

如何在不同地区建立共通的环保价值？

又如何尊重差异，而非强行统一？

He came to believe that the role of young people is not to immediately provide answers, but to ask better questions —

How can shared environmental values be built across regions?

And how can differences be respected rather than overridden?

面向未来的持续探索

A Commitment to Ongoing Exploration

从秦岭到川西，两次经历在时间上并不相连，却在思考上形成了清晰的延续。康起源逐渐意识到，生态保护并不是一次活动或一次旅程，而是一条需要不断学习、观察与修正的长期路径。

Though separated in time, Kang’s experiences in Qinling and Western Sichuan formed a coherent intellectual journey. He realized that environmental protection is not a single event, but a long-term path requiring continuous learning, observation, and adaptation.

他也希望在未来的学习中，将环境议题与社会学、地理、公共政策等方向结合，用更系统的方式理解人与自然的关系。

Looking ahead, Kang hopes to integrate environmental issues with studies in sociology, geography, and public policy — developing a more structured understanding of the human–nature relationship.

在山脉之间，寻找答案

Seeking Answers Between Mountains

当旅程结束，雪山渐远，康起源带走的并不只是风景照片，而是一份更加成熟的生态意识。

As the journey ended and the mountains faded into the distance, Kang carried with him not just photographs, but a more mature ecological awareness.

从秦岭的森林到川西的高原，他学会了用不同的视角看待同一个问题——

如何在变化的世界中，守护不变的自然价值。

From the forests of Qinling to the plateaus of Western Sichuan, Kang learned to view the same question through different lenses —

How can we protect enduring natural values in a changing world?

或许正是这种不断延伸、持续思考的能力，让他的环保之路，才刚刚开始。

And perhaps it is this ability to reflect, extend, and grow that marks the true beginning of his environmental journey.
