Because his son was tired of learning during the rebellious period, a father in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, Lao Tang rode with his 15-year-old son in China to hone his child's will. In May this year, the father and son set off from Lianyungang and rode 9000 kilometers all the way, only to return to China recently. Their cycling story inspired many netizens, and many people left a message: "I like Tang Xiao's journey of transformation." The reporter Niu Zi of Yangzi Evening News contacted the father and son, Lao Tang and Tang Xiao, and listened to them share this special riding experience. Lao Tang said: "After this ride, my son and I have changed a lot. In the past, I neglected his growth in order to make money. I gradually found that my son has many advantages along the way. " Tang Xiao also said that this ride has made him grow a lot and know his father better. Next, he wants to go back to school and study hard.

The father rode with his tired son.

"I didn't scare him, I just exhausted myself."

Tang, a 37-year-old native of Huai 'an, Jiangsu Province, currently lives in Lianyungang with his family. Because he only received junior high school education, he went out to work hard at the age of 20 and got married and had his eldest son, Tang Xiao. For the sake of career development, Lao Tang left Tang Xiao at his grandparents' home and asked two old people to take care of him. Lao Tang said, "I'm not with him. Grandpa loves him very much. He played games with his mobile phone all day, and his academic performance plummeted. "

After Tang Xiao went to junior high school, Lao Tang took his son to raise him, but because he was busy at ordinary times and spent less time with his children, and Tang Xiao was more playful, his academic performance never improved. For Tang Xiao, Lao Tang hates iron not to produce. "He is particularly disobedient and always makes trouble at school. We communicated with him, and although he agreed, he forgot it after a long time. "

Tang Xiao often gets into trouble at school, so Lao Tang is called to school by his teacher two or three times a month. Old Tang was very angry, and his education method was to give Tang a good laugh. The more so, the heavier Tang Xiao's rebellious heart. Later, Lao Tang discussed with his wife and wanted to let his son drop out of school for a while.

It was also during this time that Lao Tang saw the story of riding on the short video platform and had the idea of riding with his son, hoping to hone his son's will. Old Tang asked his son, "Shall we go out for a ride?" Tang Xiao did not hesitate: "Yes!" In Tang Xiao's view, anything is acceptable as long as you don't go to school. Talking about the idea at that time, Tang Xiao told Niu Zi journalist: "Is it so difficult to ride?" Isn't it just carrying a big bag and riding a bike? I said yes at once, and I wanted to prove to my dad that although I didn't study well, I could persist in doing things. "

Father and son dragged their heavy luggage on the road.

In this way, in May this year, Lao Tang and Tang Xiao set off on bicycles. Old Tang made a plan in advance. They set off from Lianyungang, Jiangsu, entered Anhui and Hubei, and then rode all the way to their grandparents' home in Ankang, Shaanxi. Lao Tang also communicated with his son as much as possible along the way. "I want to know more about him and I want him to know more about me."

"I tried to scare him, but instead of scaring him, I exhausted myself." Lao Tang told the reporter of Niuzi News that he originally wanted to scare his son with the fatigue of riding. "Riding has to carry fifty or sixty kilograms of things, and you have to sleep all the way. I don't think the child can bear the pain. I will ride back for a week at most, but I didn't expect him to stick to it. "

Lao Tang also updated his father and son's cycling diary on the short video platform.

Wade all the way and never give up.

The children want to prove that they are strong.

Every morning at eight or nine o'clock, Lao Tang would call his son to get up, then pack up his things and start riding. He won't finish riding until five o'clock in the afternoon, so he will find a park nearby and set up a tent to rest. While Lao Tang was cooking, Tang Xiao was reading a book. At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Lao Tang will give his son his mobile phone to play for a while. "He likes playing games, so I will give him a time to play every day, and he must play for a while after finishing the arrangement every day, and he must promise me to sleep at 10: 30 in the evening."

Old Tang thought that Tang Xiao would not last long, but he didn't expect Tang Xiao's performance to exceed his expectations. At first, Tang Xiao really didn't adapt to the life of riding, especially the heavy things carried on the car. Every time he rode for a while, he felt hard, but Tang Xiao didn't give up easily, but gritted his teeth and rode his bicycle uphill. If the roads are clear, they can ride 70 to 80 kilometers a day. In mountainous areas, they can only ride 40 to 50 kilometers a day. I really can't ride. Tang Xiao will push the bike forward. Tang Xiao told Buff News reporter: "Since my father took me riding, I will show my father that I am a strong little boy and want to prove that I can do it."

In Qamdo, Tibet, Lao Tang and Tang Xiao ran 39 kilometers against the wind in 7 hours. The wind on the plateau blows like a knife on the face. Tang Xiao bent down, gritted his teeth and pushed the bike hard, but he just didn't ask his father for help.

On the way to Yangbajing Town, Lao Tang and Tang Xiao met with rain, snow and hail. They staggered forward on bicycles, and the falling hail hit their faces, which was extremely painful. Old Tang looked at the road ahead and told Tang Xiao to put on his hat. Old Tang also tidied up Tang Xiao's raincoat from time to time. When they arrived at the rest place by bike, they all felt sad and funny when they watched each other get wet.

Father and son trudged in the rain.

In Golmud, Qinghai, Lao Tang and Tang Xiao shuttled through the hail. Xiao Tang is wearing a black raincoat covered with hail and snow. Tang Xiao's hands were red with cold. He felt cold, but he still didn't want to stop. Lao Tang is a little homesick at this time, thinking about his wife and two daughters at home. Lao Tang said that the youngest daughter is now 17 months. "When we came out to ride, she just turned one year old and couldn't walk. Now she can dance. "

Father and son are on their way to ride a horse.

Father and son got a new understanding in the process of riding a horse.

Find each other slowly changing.

Old Tang said that when he started riding, Tang Xiao was not very obedient. "He rides a bike like playing, shaking it here and there. Because the road was dangerous, I yelled at him to pull over. I have said it many times, but he still won't listen. " With the long time spent together, the father and son have a new understanding of each other and found that both sides are slowly changing.

In Tang Xiao's impression, Lao Tang has a bad temper and often gets angry. During the journey, Tang Xiao discovered the other side of his father. "He used to care about me. He does whatever I want to eat. "

One night, Old Tang and Tang Xiao lived in a tent. They only have two quilts, one big and one small. It suddenly rained heavily that day, and the tent got wet and the ground was full of water. Old Tang covered Tang Xiao with two quilts and most of his clothes. Tang Xiao saw it and said, "What about you?" Old Tang replied softly, "Nothing, I just have a coat!" " "Looking at his father, who was soaked in rain, Tang Xiao felt extremely guilty and tears came out of his eyes." Suddenly I feel that my father is not easy. "

Father and son changed a lot in the process of riding.

Along the way, the two had more chat topics. Tang Xiao told Buff journalist that he used to be very serious when talking to his father and often criticized himself. Along the way, they often chatted, sometimes for two hours. Tang Xiao said with a smile: "He usually talks to me about things when he grows up, and also talks about what work is hard and what work is not hard."

In the process of riding a horse, Tang Xiao got rid of his picky eaters, grew taller and became stronger. Lao Tang said: "My son is very picky about food at home and often complains that his mother's cooking is not delicious. We all think the food is delicious, but he always finds fault with everything and then doesn't eat a bite. When I come out this time, he will eat whatever I cook and not eat snacks. "

Riding 9000 kilometers in 7 months

I plan to complete my dream of riding the whole country next year.

On the way to horseback riding, Lao Tang will buy some extra-curricular books for Tang Xiao. He thinks these books are helpful to his son's growth. Some kind uncles and aunts will send some books to Tang Xiao after seeing Tang Xiao's videos on the Internet. In the past seven months, Tang Xiao felt that he had changed a lot. He not only ate much, but also fell in love with reading. Tang Xiao also seriously reflected, thinking about studying hard after returning home.

After this ride, Tang Xiao felt the greatness of the world and learned a lot of knowledge that books can't. "I dare to talk to others. I used to be afraid to talk when I saw strangers at home, but now I am much more cheerful. " Every time I meet hikers on the road, Tang Xiao always walks up and talks to them. Lao Tang said: "Many friends will tell me the advantages of my son and give him a thumbs-up after chatting with him."

Lao Tang told Niu Zi that he rode 9000 kilometers, passing through Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Tibet, Qinghai, Gansu and Guizhou. However, due to the epidemic, the trip was delayed for three months, which made it impossible to complete the dream of riding China this year. I plan to go to Guangxi and Hainan by bike next year, then go north from Hainan and finally go to Xinjiang.

Father and son in Hoh Xil

During this time, Lao Tang has been reflecting on his own problems. "My son's disobedience is not only his problem, but also my problem. I hit him indiscriminately, which also caused him to be rebellious and disobedient at school. " After returning home, old Tang Ming understood that children's education is not done, and they must be accompanied by heart. "I used to ignore his ideas and always wanted to educate my children in the way that parents educated us. But times are different and children's personalities are different. We can't educate our next generation in the same way. "

Lao Tang told Niuzi journalist that their cycling trip ended in Bijie, Guizhou, and they returned to their hometown in Lianyungang by bus on February 23rd, 65438. He said: "I planned all the cycling routes in advance this time. I want to hear more about my son when I ride again next year. Let him decide how to walk, how many kilometers to walk and where to camp. " Tang Xiao also wants to continue riding with his father. "I feel that my father taught me a lot more than I learned before."
