May you work hard all your life, be loved all your life, have everything you want and let go of everything you can't get.

How long has it been since you looked up at this day? Although it looks the same every day, it changes every day. How long has it been since you noticed sunrise and sunset? Although there are regular ups and downs every day, the music of nature is played with different notes every day.

Unconsciously, we have all evolved into a "low-headed family", rushing on the road, busy brushing our mobile phones, only caring about whether it is sunny or rainy, so that we can go out in the morning and evening without getting wet, but we no longer care about the difference between sunrise and sunset. Until the clouds in the sky change into colorful shapes, until sunrise and sunset appear in a burning posture, this magic is enough to attract people to seriously look forward to this day.

Someone asked me, "What's the point of traveling to so many places?" Actually, I can't figure it out either I just like to go surfing, even if it's windy and rainy, I'm willing to do it. Now my heart is playing wild, more like water under a bridge, and I want to go out whenever I have the chance. Traveling on the road, in order to see different scenery, meet different people, taste different food, meet different sunrises and sunsets, and make my life more colorful, I can confidently pretend to be deep: "I once made a toast to a pot of wine at dusk, just to chase you to the ends of the earth."

Guys, are you coming? Follow me!

Lavo, Switzerland, everything is the best arrangement.

There is no road in life in vain. Every step counts, whether it is smooth or bumpy, no matter what posture you cross, what shape it leaves on you. The books you have read, the roads you have traveled and the people you have loved are all hidden in your present temperament.

The more roads you have traveled, the more you believe that "everything is the best arrangement". The best arrangement is not to let me accept my fate without doing anything, but to accept the result frankly after sincere efforts, which often leads to greater surprises.

Lavo was the biggest surprise of my trip to Switzerland.

I had planned to stay in the tavern of Lavo Vineyard, and I wanted to have afternoon tea at Le Deck restaurant recommended by Aunt Deng Blue. However, due to the late schedule planning and the tourist season of Lavo Vineyard, when we booked the room, the good pub lodge had already been booked and searched for a long time, but we never found a satisfactory accommodation. I thought about giving up Lavo and diverting to the stone city of Schell, but I was still unwilling and had to settle for the second best.

Surprise Just after I booked the hotel, I received an email from the customer service asking if I needed to book dinner. I wonder, why do hotel restaurants need to order dinner? After some research, I almost jumped onto the beam with joy. It turns out that this hotel belongs to a group with Le Deck, a restaurant I miss very much. There is only one road between the hotel and the restaurant. Looking and searching, running around, those pursuits that I have been persistent, appeared in front of me so easily, and the previous efforts were not in vain. Fortunately, I didn't give up.

Lu wrote in her book To Switzerland: "If there is a pub in heaven, is it so?" Le Deck, a restaurant known as the "paradise pub", is like a fairyland, with a water-paved terrace praised by Deng, and the water surface is connected with Lake Geneva not far away, giving people a visual impact of "connecting the sky with water". In this way, the terrace expanded into the lake, and the lake became the super terrace of the pub. You can order a shakira, do nothing, just sit there quietly in a daze, looking at the calm lake Geneva and basking in the warm sun. The so-called years are quiet, but that's all.

I sat in Le Deck all afternoon, a little drunk, staring at the sun and the lake, and my heart was as calm as a lake. Unconsciously, dusk is approaching, and the gentle sunshine gradually becomes warm. On the other side of Lake Geneva, the sunshine turns golden and the clear blue sky becomes dim. Guests who enjoy afternoon tea in the restaurant feel that they have earned it. In addition to an afternoon tea, they also brought their own fairyland beauty and a rare sunset. Even the waiter in the restaurant said that he had not seen such a beautiful sunset here for a long time, so he could not help but stop his work and stand on the terrace to enjoy the beautiful scenery with us.

As the sun sets slowly in the west, the color of the sky begins to change slowly, from blue to yellow, and from yellow to red. I think there must be a sunset feast. We decided to walk through the vineyard with Rui, who was two and a half years old, and chase the sunset to the lake Geneva.

Heaven rewards hard work, and the sunset banquet that day was enough for me to drink countless cups. Standing by the lake of Geneva for a long time, staring at the fiery sunset in front of us, the whole lake of Geneva was also illuminated with fire, and our eyes were all red, reflecting the tears moved by nature.

Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia wishes you to work hard and be loved all your life.

The most important thing in Southeast Asia is sunshine. All the year round, if you give some sunshine, it will be brilliant, and if you give some sunset glow, it will be gorgeous.

I choose to travel to Cambodia in spring. There was little rain and drought at that time, and the climate was cool. This is the best tourist season of the year. The only drawback is that there are too many tourists. Angkor Wat has many scenic spots where you can watch the sunrise and sunset. Many tourists from afar come to Angkor Wat just to wait for the legendary sunrise and sunset.

I used to get up early in the morning and wait for the sunrise in Angkor Wat, but because there were too many tourists, I never took a perfect photo, so the beautiful scenery remained in my heart and was unforgettable. Originally, I planned to go to Bakken Temple to wait for the sunset, but I met the "Elephant Whisperer" at the foot of Bakken Mountain. I watched her talk to the elephant, listened to her talk about the tragic experience of the elephant, and then hugged her. Finally, unfortunately, I didn't see the sunset.

Tonle Sap Lake is not in my planned travel itinerary, because I heard from my friends that the water in Tonle Sap Lake is too dirty before I left. On that day, I first went to the floating village in the land of Kumba, and saw the white people in Europe and America put up their middle fingers at the big monk who reminded him not to disturb the students' classes. I saw a girl crying in front of naked and dark children, hysterical laughter after seeing local children get candy, and poor villagers still decorating their porches and windowsills with bright and beautiful colors. Although they were destroyed, it is still a beautiful home ... so I discussed with the boatman to temporarily increase the sunset trip of Tonle Sap Lake. The boatman readily agreed and praised happily: "It's worth it! You are very clever! "

The boatman struggled to support the old wooden boat for a long time. The water in Tonle Sap Lake is really dirty. The whole lake is muddy yellow, mixed with the stench of domestic garbage and dead fish. The wind on the lake has an unpleasant smell, which makes people want to vomit. Finally came to the open lake, the sun is still hanging in mid-air, and many small wooden boats have stopped on the lake, all of which are tourists from all directions, waiting for the gorgeous sunset.

Tonle Sap Lake is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia. Like a huge emerald, it is embedded in the land of Cambodia, providing a solid resource guarantee for the development and prosperity of the Khmer nation. Although there are some rotten and pungent smells, Tonle Sap Lake is the "lake of life" for Cambodian people, which has nurtured the lives and hopes of people on both sides of the lake.

Just like this country and the people here, the suffering will eventually pass and hope is just around the corner. May you work hard all your life, be loved all your life, have everything you want and let go of everything you can't get.

Where is the heartbroken man in China prairie?

The prairie road is a trip for me.

My son went home to spend the summer vacation with his grandparents, and the usually lively home suddenly quieted down. I had a good sleep here at the weekend, but I woke up at five in the morning. The sky that day was unusually beautiful, with blue tiles and colorful clouds floating, as vast as grassland. So, we decided to see the grassland road. It is said that it is one of the most beautiful highways in China.

We are often trapped in reinforced concrete buildings and narrow spaces, and are busy making a living in this big city of Beijing. We all need to use the weekend to find a place for ourselves to vent our repressed emotions. Grassland road is not far from Beijing, plus the congestion time, it takes about 4 hours to drive. After a short drive, you can see a different kind of scenery. The vastness of grassland can cure depressed mood, which is worthwhile.

Beijing building is too high. Even if I try to look up, my vision is very limited. Even if there is a beautiful sunset, it is difficult to take a perfect photo within my range of activities if there is no cover. After a long time, I feel like a frog sitting at the bottom of a well. My vision is getting narrower and narrower, my knowledge is getting shorter and shorter, and my mind is getting smaller and smaller. So sometimes, I will go to the high-rise building to relax my shrinking heart and open the narrower and narrower vision. Even if it seems only formalism, I believe that the environment will affect a person's mood.

Standing on the grassland is a different kind of vastness. Watching the sunset fall from the same vast horizon bit by bit, watching the clouds turn into gold, red and gorgeous bit by bit, my heart rises with great pride. I want to get on the horse and chase the sunset to the ends of the earth. I also saw crows flying over the top of old trees, and I also saw people on the grassland raising smoke. Where is a broken heart in the end of the world? It is obviously heroic.
