Wine - Luck Party

I met a Chinese girl, she was the first Chinese backpacker I met on this trip. Her name is Wing, a pretty girl from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. I was surprised because she’s just started travelling in Europe last year. Now she was brave to quit her job and she has been travelling for two and half months. She’s just sold her laptop and planned to go to Pakistan and the middle-east.

She told me a very moving story about a courageous Japanese girl, Makiko. We both loved Japanese travellers so much, because they are polite, brave and principled. In the last twenty years, the young Japanese travellers have changed the mind of people in the world. Why can’t our young Chinese?

I love the life on the road…

Sometimes, travelling is like a walk in paradise, you will see the best landscape on the journey. You will get the help and the love from everyone and everywhere.

Sometimes, travelling is like a romantic story. You will meet a lover by chance who will wait for you somewhere and someday.

Sometime, travelling is like the act of charity. You bring the hope to the local people. You help them and they help you too.

Sometimes, travelling is like a war. You have to defend for yourself and your belongings. You will be tired, exhausted, lonely, weak and miss your family. But you will be stronger and prouder of yourself.

Travelling is like a poem, you use your own print to fill in every word and every sentence in the poem, fill in your emotion, your story and your entire life…

我遇到了一位美丽的女孩，她是我此行中遇到的第一位中国旅行者。她的名字叫Wing，来自杭州。我非常惊讶且敬佩是因为她去年刚开始在欧洲短期旅行，今年就勇敢地辞职并且已经旅行了两个半月的时间。她刚在Jasailmer城外卖掉沉重的手提电脑，准备去巴基斯坦和中东国家。

她告诉我一个很感人的、勇敢的日本女孩的故事（Makiko目前在南美，她的旅行近一年）。我们俩都非常喜爱日本的年轻旅行者，因为他们有良好的教养、勇往直前的精神和处事极为有原则。年轻的日本旅行者在过去的二三十年间改变了世界对他们的看法。为什么我们中国年轻的一代不能？

在路上的日子……

有时，旅行像在天堂散步。你总是处处获得爱与微笑、食物与帮助。因为年轻与勇气，你能很艰苦地涉入深山险境，你能看到这世间最美丽的风景、一瞬间。在那一刻，无数的旅行者来自世界的每个角落（甚至持着拐杖、轮椅和婴儿车），他们就站在你的身旁。你们的微笑与言谈，就像一出生就认识的单纯的孩子。

有时，旅行像一段浪漫的故事，你的情人会在某天某地等着你的出现。你们的邂逅、月夜，是如此的动人。

有时，旅行就像是一次慈善的行为，你把你的劳动所得带到世界各角落，你给当地人带来希望，你帮助了他们同时他们也在帮助你。

有时，旅行就像是一场战争，你必须捍卫自己和随行物品。你会孤独、精疲力竭、软弱、想念你的家人，但你永不会放弃。旅行会让你更坚强，越来越为自己而骄傲。

旅行是一门哲学，能让你把这个世界看得更全面、更清晰，懂得去思考在国家及传统教育中永远不会教你去思考的问题。

旅行，就像一首诗歌，由你用自己的脚印去填写每一字每一句，填写你的情感、故事、整个生命……
