His brilliant Indian-like skin color, shy smile, faint words, drinking China's traditional eight-treasure tea and talking about the stories of riding on the road for 15 thousand kilometers; Chinese and western daisuke's eyes are bright, looking at us, but they seem to be looking at the distance; Daisuke Nakanishi said: There are still 2 days left in the cycling tour of the world, from Beijing to Tianjin, then to South Korea, and then back to Japan by boat. When he said these words, he felt as if his 11-day holiday was over. From his eyes, you can see the mountains, rivers and picturesque faces he has been riding for 11 years! Experience is imprinted on my mind. It is no wonder that when our interview ended, we were entrusted by the World Chinese Character Art Research Institute and the Chinese Character Art Research Society to ask him to write a speech about his trip. Meditating, he slowly wrote down the words "one phase and one meeting". At that moment, the teahouse was as magnificent as Bushido, and it was more graceful and cherished in the tea ceremony ....... "One phase" represented a person's life; "For a while" means meeting only once. Life and every moment can't be repeated. "One session, one meeting" reminds people to cherish every moment's opportunity, and to devote all their efforts to the only meeting in life ... The moment that once happened will become eternal.
