A 23-year-old poor girl walks alone on the Sichuan-Tibet Line in the no-man’s land of Hoh Xil, drinks sewage and lives in a tent

On March 31, 2021, Amei, a girl from Guizhou, started hiking in Tibet from Yixing, Jiangsu Province. The whole journey was 4,200 kilometers. She was alone pushing an unpowered trolley, which carried all her food, clothing, and tents. , and thus began his journey of challenge.

Born in a poor rural area in Guizhou, she dropped out of school and went out to work at the age of 16. She worked as a female worker in a factory and as a counter girl at a cosmetics counter. When she was in her twenties, she wanted to buy a house for her family, but failed. She found that she had been working for many years but had nothing. She even borrowed money to buy the mobile phone she used for hiking and shooting. She felt that this was not going to work. She heard that a fellow villager was an Internet celebrity and had become rich enough to buy a house and a car, so she secretly made up her mind.

It is easier said than done. The fellow villagers who set out with her failed and returned home. She was the only one left at the end. With a firm willpower and a brave spirit, a girl braved hundreds of Kilometers into the uninhabited land of Hoh Xil, she boiled water from the ditch for cooking and drinking. She stayed up all night to prevent wild beasts from attacking. She held a cooking knife in her hand to warn herself not to be afraid. The puppy she found in a trash can on the roadside helped her a lot. It would bark to warn her if there was any movement outside.

Amei walked more than 20 kilometers a day. One pair of shoes on her feet were worn out, and her knees and feet were damaged. But she gritted her teeth and persevered. At first, there were few viewers and others walked her during the day. Walking at night, I got push from the platform and increased my traffic and number of fans. Due to the harsh climate on the plateau and the exposure to wind and sun while hiking, her originally fair and beautiful face gradually became dark and aging, and new viewers in the live broadcast room even began to question her age.

She met Dahei, a wandering Tibetan mastiff. She adopted it and made it her bodyguard. The danger came at night as expected. In an area often frequented by wolves, Dahei suddenly broke through. He pulled off the chains of the tent and rushed into the jungle to bite and fight. Dahei's appearance became A-mei's savior and protected A-mei's personal safety.

On October 1, 2021, Amei successfully challenged and finally arrived in Tibet. She wrote: I didn’t know what faith was before and thought that faith was just superstition. Only when I arrived in Tibet did I realize that faith is spiritual sustenance and the beginning of kindness.

She set her next goal: to hike from Tibet to Beijing. Children who grew up in the mountains also want to see Tiananmen. On the way from Tibet to Beijing, she received help and love from more and more fans. Everyone was moved by her spirit and hoped that everything would go well for this strong and independent brave girl.
