When the official announcement of Jiushi will be held again after five years, Ah Ping, who works as an auto mechanic in a small town in Northeast China, can hardly contain his excitement, he wants to go to Shanghai to see the haunting F1 with his own eyes, he said that he has heard the roar of the F1 engine in his dreams countless times. Therefore, even if he has a small income now, he still insists on working in the automotive industry.

Ping has had a keen interest in racing since he was a child. He used to save money to run a go-kart, and he also worked part-time as a food delivery driver to collect model racing cars. This time, he decided to cross half of China to Shanghai, where he witnessed and touched the holy grail in his heart - F1.

Ah Ping once told me that when he was a child, whenever he was racing on TV, he would always pay full attention, as if he was speeding on the track; When he grew up, his love for racing continued to burn, he began to play racing games, play simulators, and even study the structure of racing cars, but limited by his family background, his racing dream can only be a "dream", he said that although he can't be a driver, but engaged in automobile-related industries, he can also make himself happy, so he gave up his white-collar job after graduating from college, and took the initiative to return to his hometown to become an auto mechanic. It can be said that it is a real "power generation for love".

On January 9 this year, the F1 Shanghai station began to officially release tickets, Ah Ping was lucky to grab the cheapest grass tickets, he was very happy, and happily shared with me on WeChat, I can feel Ah Ping's innocence like a child's happiness. Deep down, I'm happy that Ah Ping is about to realize his dream. So I reminded Ah Ping, "Now that I have bought tickets, I can also consider booking air tickets and hotels, the later it is delayed, the more expensive it will be." ”

But this kind reminder seemed to pour cold water on Ah Ping's rising mood, and Ah Ping suddenly said with a little wilt, "Yes, you still have to buy air tickets and book hotels, all of which cost money......”

I understand what Ah Ping means, he is shy. "If you try to use Ctrip, it is still cheaper to buy a ticket on Ctrip, as long as the time is long in advance, you can basically buy a discounted ticket. And there are a lot of strategies on Ctrip, when you go to Shanghai to watch the car, you can also stop by to take a look around Shanghai, remember to contact me when the time comes, I will invite you to dinner. ”

After listening to my suggestion, Ah Ping immediately started searching on Ctrip, and he really found a cheap ticket, Ah Ping said, "It turns out that air tickets can be cheaper than train tickets!" ”

I'm really glad to have a friend like Ah Ping sometimes, in this day and age, almost everyone is flashy and vain, but Ah Ping is so pure and lovely. Every time I think of him, I think of the famous quote, "What is a dream?" Dreams are things that make you hold on and feel happy! ”
