Chaobo Chen's Life Experience

20 15 1 Chaobo Chen said in a speech at Beijing Sanlian Bookstore: "The person who has the greatest influence on my life is my father. My father was one of the first people who dared to eat crabs in the reform and opening up. In the early 1990s, he started to do business away from home, transporting goods from Guangdong to Hunan, and transporting agricultural products from Hunan to Guangxi to earn profits. At that time, Zhen Zhen caused an uproar in my hometown, and many villagers began to go out to do business with him. He was very kind and brought out many people, and our family had a good time at that time. "

The good times didn't last long. 1995, Chaobo Chen was three years old, and his father was killed by a car at the border of Hunan and Guangxi. The family suddenly panicked. The perpetrator is the brother-in-law of a local official. With the background, the lawsuit can't be won and the claim is hopeless. The family has lost its support. Two years later, my mother felt hopeless. She ran away from home, remarried and never came back. Chaobo Chen lived with his brother, sister and grandparents. Since then, grandma has told Chaobo Chen every day: "You are different from others, don't play with others, don't get sick, and don't have an accident".

Chaobo Chen has always been obedient, never had an accident, and his academic performance has always been good. But when I was in middle school, I had a fight and beat up a classmate. The reason is that the teacher didn't scold him or say anything when he found out that the guy said he was funny. Chaobo Chen was very moved by his teacher's attitude, because he was always strict, but this time he was silent. The teacher's silence made him feel a little guilty and his enthusiasm for learning was higher. Three months later, he became a member of the school literature club, wrote two thick poems and published them in the school's annual magazine. From introverted to lively and cheerful, the students were shocked by his changes. Chaobo Chen's interest in geography and history also came into being at that time. Every day, he spends all his spare time in the library, immersed in the ocean of books. It was also at that time that he had a dream: to travel around the world and see if the distance in reality is the same as that written in the book, and to experience different lives and different cultures. Since he had this dream, his blood is boiling every day, and he began to plan where to go. Do what?

But this state was broken with the graduation from high school in 2009. Grandpa passed away, and what grandma said to him has been said a thousand times: "You are different from others!" " "Chaobo Chen also knows that he is different from others, so he didn't expect to go to college, but went south to work in Guangdong to earn money. Chaobo Chen works in Shenzhen. Facing the reality of society, there is no other idea. I worked for a year until September, 20 10. I went to Dongguan to visit customers, passed a commercial street and saw a huge billboard that said, "When you have a dream, the world will make way for you." "I don't have any expression on the surface, but my heart is already rolling. I'm lost, dream? What is the dream? Do I have a dream? Will the world really make way for me? But I'm different from others. Can I have a dream? " He wrote in the book. He sat on the stone bench and thought, this is the first time he felt so confused. For the first time, maybe he shouldn't hit the guy who said he was funny in middle school. "Maybe I am really poor and dare not have my own dreams. I feel the reality of society for the first time, helpless and unfair. "

I don't know why, Chaobo Chen's attention shifted to the sentence "You are different from others", "Yes! I am different from others. Others may not be able to achieve this dream, but I may be able to do it because I am different from others. "

A week later, Chaobo Chen resigned. Embarked on the train to Kashgar, Xinjiang. Because Kashgar is where I planned to go one day when I was in middle school. "After five days by train and getting off the Kashgar Railway Station, I was shocked. More than 30 high-rise buildings are springing up. The whole Kashgar is like a big construction site. The huge Ferris wheel is turning slowly, and colorful neon lights are flashing. It's not like what the book describes: an exotic ancient city. " Chaobo Chen said in a speech at Anhui University.

After losing it, think about it carefully and you will understand when it was described in the book. Everything is changing, and the only constant is change. So, what will other places be like now? Then Chaobo Chen returned to Lanzhou from Xinjiang and began to walk to Lhasa. The pace of travel cannot stop. "I didn't end up in Lhasa, but continued to Yunnan along the Yunnan-Tibet line." However, the weather is unpredictable. When I arrived at a mountain pass in Gongbujiang, Linzhi, it was already the end of1February. It was freezing, and I accidentally slipped down the hillside. I don't know how long I rolled, but I bumped into something and passed out. When I woke up, Chaobo Chen was already in a house. A shepherd drove the sheep by, saw it and brought it back. Fortunately, life is fatal and there is no danger. "I lived in a herder's house for a day. The next day, the herdsmen took me to the roadside. Then I took a ride back to Lhasa and took the train back to the mainland, and the trip was over. "

The accident made Chaobo Chen realize the preciousness and fragility of life. On the train home, when he was shocked, he had a new plan: to travel all over China. Give yourself two months to prepare. After two months, no matter how you prepare, you should start to travel around China, so don't waste any more time. Chaobo Chen brought tents, kettles, compressed biscuits, etc. Stay with him, and set up a tent to rest in the dark. In the process of hiking, he encountered all kinds of difficulties, especially in the Qaidam desert, which made him fresh in his memory.

That was June 20 12, 10. After he arrived in the Qaidam desert in the northwest of Qinghai, he entered the no-man's land. "There is no signal here, and I got lost halfway. After walking in the desert for five days, my water and dry food have been exhausted. " Chaobo Chen said, "Just when I was desperate, I found several bungalows in the desert. Not only water, but also rice. "

That night, Chaobo Chen used boiled rice to replenish his strength. On the afternoon of the sixth day, he finally walked out of the desert.

There are many such sufferings, and Chaobo Chen does not want to recall them. He just wants to remember the most beautiful moments in his mind. In Hailar, Inner Mongolia, he looked at the endless grassland and was open-minded; In Lankao, Henan, he gave classes to poor and helpless children and tasted the happiness of selfless dedication; In Tibet, he listened to the call of the plateau and felt the purest feelings of human beings ... What was originally a simple walk turned into a spiritual journey into nature and the world after 90. The trip made him richer and stronger. On this trip, Chaobo Chen was most concerned about her grandmother. He said: "I grew up with my grandmother. For a while, grandma called me every day, worried about my safety, and cried for me to go back. But I like to travel and must stick to my dreams. " 20 12 the spring festival is coming. Chaobo Chen went to Urumqi, wanted to go home and see his long-lost family, and planned to return to Urumqi to continue walking in China after the New Year. However, train tickets are not easy to get, so Chaobo Chen wants to try hitchhiking home to see if he can get home before the train.

The T36 train from Urumqi to Changsha leaves at 15: 19 in the afternoon. At about 65438+1early morning of October 2 1 1: 30, Chaobo Chen went to expressway in advance to find a car owner who could get a lift so that he could leave with the train at 3 pm. Previously, Chaobo Chen posted on Tencent Weibo asking his companions to help him shoot videos and photos, but the author learned that he didn't find a suitable traveling companion. Many people sent him private messages, but some people couldn't come to Xinjiang in time, so this time he was on the road alone.

Previously, the author had asked whether the first bus was ready and whether anyone was meeting him on the way. He said: "I didn't deliberately arrange it, mainly to challenge myself." Regarding the success of this challenge, Chaobo Chen said to the author: "50%, I think it is quite difficult myself, but I will try my best."

The biggest difficulty of this challenge is at night. "The train is still running at night, but it is more difficult for me to take a bus at night. If you can find a long-distance vehicle, you may succeed. "

Chaobo Chen didn't bring much on this trip, and most of the equipment was left in Urumqi. "I brought some Xinjiang specialties to my family, and other equipment was left in Urumqi. I intend to come back after the Lantern Festival and continue my plan to travel around China. "

He will return to Urumqi years later, and the next stop is planned to be Kashgar. Daxiang Com: It's quite accidental to take a lift to challenge the train. Like getting on an SUV or something. Will such a high-profile release at present increase your chances of success?

Chaobo Chen: Actually, posting messages on Weibo is also to motivate myself to complete the challenge. In fact, it was not very high-profile, nor did it inform the local media in Xinjiang.

Daxiang Com: Kerouac's On the Road, a ride across the United States, is a classic of the hippie movement in the1960s. They are a rebellious generation. Now you take a ride to challenge the train, are you just packing your bags to explore an unpredictable journey, or are you pursuing something else?

Chaobo Chen: This challenge has no special purpose, just to see my ability. Everyone knows that go on road trip is very casual. I want to take this opportunity to see if I can surpass myself.

Tencent elephant. Com 201365438+1October 6 news At 7 o'clock this morning, Chaobo Chen finally arrived in Changsha after three days of turbulence 16 hours. Originally, he wanted to challenge the speed of the train, but he was 44 hours late because of bad weather, icy roads and damaged vehicles. In this regard, Chaobo Chen said, "It's a little regrettable, but it's still very rewarding, and I'm very touched along the way."
