Wherever you want to go, start now

Chapter 3 The place you want to go, set sail now (3)
Her single name is concubine, she is a full-fledged female man, and she is not beautiful, but if you see her, you will definitely like this kind of bold girl.Some people say that when you talk about a girl who is not beautiful, you only talk about her inner beauty.Danfei is worthy of your praise.

We are classmates in the same grade in the same college, and she often passes us on a bicycle at high speed.Her family background is not very good. It stands to reason that such a girl is often suffocated by herself. Introversion and inferiority are the most common expressions on her face, and she closes herself from the inside out.

But Concubine never was, she always had a smile on her face.

Her family is not rich, but she is also a volunteer in the west and is very helpful.Occasionally, we went on a group trip to Simian Mountain. Because of the friends in the middle, there were me, my concubine, and many boys and girls in the team.The rest of us are going to help a friend to promote the scenic spot. Let us act as couple models and take pictures together to promote the scenic spot. The promotion company undertakes.

A lot of people have found counterparts to play couples, but she didn't.

She was also happy to see a group of us pretending to be a couple, smiling at us, and she was also happy to help everyone take care of their luggage when taking pictures.Optimism may be the greatest gift God gave her.

In her junior year, she saw an event on a campus forum.Some students are organizing a trip to Tibet by bicycle.The event post attracted her, but the phrase "reject girls" stimulated her.Why not let girls participate, is it looking down on girls?Cycling to Tibet is not an easy task, not to mention supplies and safety, the distance of nearly 2000 kilometers is absolutely unbearable, and it is also necessary to face the identification of the direction and path, and be prepared to deal with various dangers and unexpected troubles ... The concubine who refused to admit defeat started exercising because of the phrase "decline the girls", and began to search for accessories on the Internet to modify bicycles.After the final exam was over, Concubine set off for Tibet by herself on a bicycle. After 22 days, she successfully arrived in Tibet.If this is a pilgrimage, what she worships is the unyielding arrogance in her heart.

This ride was out of control.Then she rode a bicycle all the way to Sichuan, Hainan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Shaanxi and other places. After riding thousands of kilometers, she started from not admitting defeat, and then eager to travel all over the country on a bicycle.On the way, she often stayed with farmers and found that many families needed financial or spiritual help.She made a wish in her heart to spend a few years riding a bicycle and carrying a camera to travel all over the country, looking for those poor school children, and then looking for some help for them through the Internet.Bring the dreams of those children who are struggling in poverty, the desire to read, the desire for knowledge and the outside world to the prosperous world.

Maybe others look down on girls and feel that girls can't do anything, but the concubine never thinks so.Maybe the concubine wants to live a different self, to prove to others that girls are okay, or maybe she just proves to herself who follows her dreams.Not admitting defeat is definitely not the starting point for her to ride a bicycle on the road, that starting point has long been buried in her heart.After setting off, the concubine gradually found her goal.

Some people say that if you are poor, you will benefit yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world.Concubine should be the bridge between the two, at least that's how she defines her choice.Not admitting defeat, let her ride a bicycle on the road again.Quit your job and continue to do what you think is meaningful.She raised funds for her campaign on crowdfunding.She said: I resigned to do something with a "bridge" meaning. I plan to start from Chongqing, go to Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan, then start east to Zhanjiang, and then go north to Mohe.Along the way, use the camera to record the people who need help you meet, and match them up, so that those who can and are willing to help them can help them.

Her dream was only paid for by dozens of people, and she raised more than 2000 yuan, plus some of her own savings, and she was still on the road.She took her dreams on the road again and again.Not admitting defeat made her more confident, more courageous, and more able to pursue certain things that she thought were worth spending her youth for.

Later, I kept following her Weibo updates, knowing that she went to Guizhou, Yunnan, and even rode to Southeast Asia, Myanmar, Vietnam and other countries.She was still complaining on Weibo, accidentally went the wrong way, and accidentally came to a mountain village elementary school in Myanmar. It was getting late, and seeing that she had nowhere to stay, she mustered up the courage to go to the school.The students in the school had already finished school, and she communicated with them using gestures and not-so-fluent English. Finally, the other party agreed to stay in her classroom and leave after dawn.

She took the wrong path, but she also received the kindness of others.After tossing and turning, she returned to China on a bicycle and continued her unfinished journey.Everywhere she goes, she tries her best to help all those in need, and at the same time accepts the help of others. Those who love each other will always love them.The concubine who refused to admit defeat walked into love.This kind of love is her love for others, and it is also the love of others for her.

Not admitting defeat is just a small point that touched the brave heart of the concubine, so why "reject girls".There are many things that girls can't do, but boys can, but many things are not what you think, girls can't do, and she may even do better than you.

Perhaps some girls would say that the concubine is worthy of praise, but she is so beautiful, it would be dangerous to go out, and there are many things that are usually taken care of by her boyfriend, and she is not used to going out.

In fact, not everyone has the courage to quit their jobs like the concubine, travel around China, or even go abroad by bicycle. It is impossible for everyone to spend all their energy on helping others regardless of themselves when they are not rich.This is the choice of the concubine and people like her, but from a more selfish point of view, when facing your own dreams and goals, can you take the journey again and again, and the phrase on the gate of your dream says The words of "rejecting girls" are dead against the road you think is impossible?

We often say, oops, I can't do it well!I don't know how to do this!That looks like it's difficult!How she did it is incredible!I sighed too much, but never really chose to go on the road.Facing your own dreams and your own choices, if you can see a piece of paper that says "Reject Girls", don't doubt it, it must be pasted by the weak self in your heart.

Girl, you don't have to admit defeat either.How much slander you can withstand is how much praise you can withstand. Only when you use your pride to subdue others can the whole world applaud you.

Take advantage of your youth, take advantage of your youth

Even if you go wrong in your youth, you can turn around and start over.People with dreams follow their own hearts and never go astray.

Turkish missionary Harun?Yahya said: I am always amazed why birds always stay in the same place when they have the ability to fly anywhere, and then I ask myself the same question.So, he picked up his theory and threw it at Darwin's theory of evolution without looking back, claiming that his theory overturned Darwin's theory of evolution.

When the boy was 18 years old, he failed the college entrance examination.He spent all his youth on being an excellent student, but fate made a joke for him, and all his efforts turned into unwillingness.Facing the future, we have never really been willing, but gradually we lost the courage to resist.

His parents were railway employees, and they didn't let him leave this small western town with a group of classmates following a series of trains. They thought it was the boy's best choice to stay on the railway.For a time he did compromise, and became a little railroad worker.

On occasional nights, the boy was in the small hut guarding the railway, turning on the radio alone, listening to distant voices, those voices were so beautiful, as if he was still a high school student who didn't know the world, he used to be on campus, Under the guidance of the teacher, he opened his own campus radio.

In the closed campus, everyone is eager to escape from the walled campus, and is eager to find something to connect with the world in bookstores and Internet cafes.The boy's voice and the articles he read aloud on the campus radio became the crisp sound of imprisoned restless hearts.

At that moment, everyone was happy, and he was also happy.

And at this moment, the cramped hut, the cold rails leading to the depths of the night, what is there in the distance?The huge steel machine crouched on the track in the night, as if peeping into the lonely heart of a young man.He often walks from the hut to the abandoned carriage at night with a flashlight, and then walks from the carriage back to the hut, or sits in the office and listens to a group of middle-aged uncles and aunts talking incoherent and dull jokes.Holding a teacup, reading the newspaper, playing cards and minesweeper games that have long since been eliminated.

The boy often wears earphones, listens to the radio, and watches the people coming and going on the platform. Waves of people come in like waves and are taken away by the train.Come and go, no one has ever been imprisoned in the cold reality like himself.This is not the life he wants.

Then came the quarrel with the parents.His parents felt that they had entrusted him with the relationship and gave him money, so they pulled him into the railway circle that was sought after by the outside world.His parents felt that this was the life he dreamed of.He said that his dream is not here.

After constant quarrels and constant compromises, they finally reached an agreement.The boy can go to realize his dream, but if the life is not good, he must come back here and continue to work on the railway.

On the day before the boy left, he quietly put the visiting card issued on the railway on the table.That card means that when it is difficult to buy tickets, you can be well taken care of because you are a railway worker or a relative, and you can quickly return to your hometown no matter where you are.He felt he didn't need such a card anymore.

His dream is far away.I am used to seeing so many people taken away by trains. They are travel-stained, or carry huge packages, go to the coast to work, or go to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to pursue their dreams.He also wants to go far to realize his dream.The boy told himself that regarding the future, even if this path is wrong, he can still go back to the starting point and start again. Life is definitely not the distance between the hut guarding the railway and the abandoned carriage.

He came to Tianjin, a bustling city.He started to work there, held many part-time jobs, and enrolled in night school for junior college at night.He studied broadcasting and hosting.He didn't know what it meant for this unrefined junior college and his dream broadcasting host to be in this world.He also didn't think that there are too many people of his age in this world who are moving around in the talent market with their diplomas.

The hardships of part-time jobs are no match for the desire for the future.Suddenly one day, he received a call from his high school teacher.He used to be a three-good student, and the college entrance examination became a turning point in his life. He thought the whole world had abandoned him.But the teacher back then left an open door for that young man with dreams.The teacher who ran the campus radio station with him knew that he was in Tianjin. She told the young man with a gentle voice that she heard from her friends in Tianjin that Tianjin’s urban radio station was recruiting guest anchors. a chance.

Sometimes life is like this, quietly and quietly.

He entered the radio station, even if he was a guest anchor, he seemed to have grasped the tail of his dream.When you are like a soaring bird, flying towards the direction you desire, no one can stop your heart yearning for freedom.He became the anchor of Tianjin Radio, and later he went to CNR smoothly.Central People's Broadcasting Station, for a young worker who was guarding the railway in a small western town a few years ago, it was too gorgeous a stage.

Even if you go wrong in your youth, you can turn around and start over.People with dreams follow their own hearts and never go astray.

The boy is the well-known radio anchor A Peng.In the night, he told warm stories with his voice, warming every lonely heart in the bustling city night.He often said a word: the voice of the night will shine.He has been illuminated countless times by the light emitted by the sound of the radio station in the night, illuminating a more exciting life.He doesn't know how many teenagers who have been knocked down by life in the night of this city, like himself back then, yearn for a voice to guide his direction, but he knows that even if it only affects one dream, it is his great honor.

Perhaps, our life without Harlan?Ye Haiya is so crazy, won't she look like Tang?Quixote fought with a huge iron spear and a huge windmill, and we may not be able to have such a jumping life like A Peng, but perhaps we have not clearly seen where our future is.

In the busy city, people in a hurry can't see a trace of passion fighting side by side with their dreams in their numb expressions.Our passion has faded, gone, only in the dark of night, we may be touched by stories on the radio, sentences in books, and pictures of movies, and occasionally think of the road we desire.But in a blink of an eye, we are content with the future arranged by our parents, relying on the state-owned enterprises to enter the relationship, or being comfortable and leisurely, but there is no future job.Living numbly, cooking instant noodles, eating biscuits, waking up inexplicably for countless nights, only to find that the TV is still playing boring TV programs.

I am most afraid of loneliness and insomnia, because in those nights we will think a lot, think of our unfulfilled dreams, think of our lack of courage to resist this patterned life, and we will laugh at everyone like Harlan?Ye Haiya, Don?People like Quixote who are crazily fighting to realize their dreams.Telling them to give up is actually asking yourself to give up.Because of how scared we are, we still stay where we are, while everyone around us hugs our hearts.We all fear being alone.

When you taunt Harlan?Ye Haiya, Don?Quixote, I feel that Apeng’s transformation from a railway worker to a CCTV host is an example, and it is impossible for me. You should probably think about the words of Haruki Murakami: Hit a stone with an egg, between the tall and hard wall and the egg, I'm always on the side of the egg.Perhaps, while youth is not too late, while youth is not old, while dreams are not extinguished, make a hard egg and fight to the end with the future.

Each of us is an egg, unique, we should have our own wonderful life, and every egg with a dream is worthy of praise.Even if we make a mistake, we can start over!
The most important thing is that you have the determination to act.When you make up your mind to have the courage to change yourself, your life will change dramatically.
