Walking 108 kilometers, there was no one in the vast Gobi, and I originally came out to play with my friends, but to put it bluntly, I came to suffer.

On the first day, I walked more than 20 kilometers under the scorching sun, and I couldn't even find a shady place to rest. You may still feel particularly new in the front, but the further back you go, the discomfort of your body and the pain in the soles of your feet make you want to give up all the time

The next morning began to set off, today's trip is more difficult, up and down the mountain, the canyon flat bottom, along the flag for five or six hours, but never see the end, the inner torment and the idea of giving up has always appeared in the mind, in the process, there are a lot of friends can not hold on, walk half of the give up, but there are also a lot of friends who still insist.

On the third day, the relationship between the partners around me began to change subtly. I don't help to fold quilts, bring luggage, and start to help my companions who can't hold on on to the road, you can really feel the relationship between people, in addition to interests, that kind of innocence, and the kindness that doesn't ask for anything in return, which makes me full of emotion. However, the process is very monotonous, just walking. But in the process, I really realized why there is a gap between businesses and businesses, between people. Along the way, some people rushed with their heads and pulled the car out, some people always gritted their teeth and insisted on grinding goods on the soles of their feet, some people walked for a while and sat for a while, and even secretly took the car. This is actually the same as the various situations we encounter in life and work, but everyone's situation and choice of accommodation are completely different.

On the fourth day, we set off before dawn and followed the sunrise all the way. On this day, I felt inner peace for the first time, as if I was connected to everything, I was the sand on the ground, the stars in the sky, or the soft breeze, so that I could calm down and think, to plan the direction of my future life, family, and work.

Ask ourselves what the meaning of life is, and when everything is realized, you will really be grateful for this trip to the Gobi. The fourth day is the last day, and I didn't expect it to be the most difficult day, all the actions are no longer relying on physical strength to complete the journey, but more on mental strength and mind, there is a wonderful feeling of regaining control of the body and controlling life. When you arrive at the end of the line exhausted and unconscious, I am really moved by myself, I didn't expect that I would have so much potential, you will also be moved by the partners around you, I didn't expect that four days will make strangers become close friends, take off all the disguises, laugh and cry freely in the middle, this is the Gobi journey. While many people here may not come in their lifetime, it is certainly worth a visit for everyone. As Marquez said, life is not the days we live, but the days we remember. Dunhuang Gobi trekking
