What is real travel?

When Xiaoxiao was a child, she was shocked when she heard "read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles", and then she felt that this was really an unattainable goal. Fortunately, as age increases, education becomes more popular, and transportation improves, this goal is getting closer. Even so, it remains a distant dream for most people. Whether it is reading or traveling, it is actually a luxury thing for busy modern people. The travel I am talking about is not the kind of "official travel", also known as "business trip". Traveling to an unfamiliar place for business, government affairs, negotiations, and meetings, spending long and boring days in offices and conference halls, and then hurriedly visiting local places of interest, and then "waving your hands without taking away a single cloud." The things that can prove your relationship with this place are your business trip report, the ticket waiting for reimbursement and a few photos. This kind of trip is like the review materials that students read in order to prepare for exams - before the exam, they are treasures; after the exam, they become garbage. How many people can still "treasure" such a book and remember its contents? The travel I am talking about is not the kind of group travel with a tour group. A group of people stepped out of the air-conditioned station wagon, followed the tour guide's small flag and appeared at a certain scenic spot. They took photos lively, went shopping happily, and slept in a daze after getting on the bus. If anyone is still there after returning, If you can clearly explain where you have gone, you can be called a "model member". Such travel should be more accurately called some kind of economic activity or consumption behavior. This kind of travel is just like reading those best-selling books - with such recommendations and rankings, we buy books that "create publishing miracles". After contributing to the publishing industry and the author's royalties, we may also Can get some fashionable talking points. It's just like those travel souvenir photos that we can show off to our friends when we get back from a trip. But besides that, what else is there? The travel I am talking about is real travel, a travel that is walked with feet, observed with eyes, experienced with heart, thought with head, and recalled with the rest of my life. Such trips are like those books that have impacted our lives. No matter whether its cover is covered with dust or whether its pages have turned yellow, it has indeed touched our hearts, influenced our decisions, and even changed our destiny. I believe that many people have such a book in their hearts. Well, at the very least, we should take a real trip. I know it's hard. Even though we have trains, planes and credit cards, we lack time, let alone patience and perseverance. In this era where almost every minute is calculated in terms of money, in an era where "success" and "efficiency" are emphasized, taking a trip without utilitarian purpose or reading a "idle book" with no "use" is probably the same as It is consuming the wealth of our lives. How many of us mortals can be so free and unrestrained under the weight of houses, cars, and money? Reading and traveling are originally the same thing. Traveling is reading the book of the world: reading mountains and rivers, reading plains and hills, reading customs, reading human feelings, reading history, reading everything in the world, and reading a real world. Travel is the best reading note we write with our feet. And reading is not a journey of the soul: five thousand years up and down, thousands of miles across, swimming in the past, the future, traveling to other places, and peeking into the secrets of this world in a fictional world. Books are our tickets for ideological travel. Reading and traveling both serve one purpose: to escape from the world temporarily.
