The story of the 108-kilometer desert, in addition to the passion and blood, also has a warm and soft part. We have lost too far in the extreme prosperity, as Gibran said: "We have gone so far that we have forgotten why we set out." We have gone too far because we have compromised in such a materialistic social trend. However, today we let go of everything and walk, forget our position and identity, walk in a healthy way, and find our original heart. According to the reporter's understanding, more and more hiking enthusiasts have embarked on this unknown and surprising track with their desire for off-road and natural simplicity.

From Xuanzang in ancient times to you and me today, every step we take is on the road of learning scriptures. This road may be difficult or plain, or bumpy, what makes you and I stick to the road in front of us, and never give up until we reach our goal? This is a practice, and you are moving forward in the constant search for your true self. You can be slow, but you can't abandon your dreams.

Ge You Su Ziqing said, I can’t forget the swollen feet full of blisters that make it difficult to move an inch, the fearful heart of being alone in the vastness, the exhausted body blocked by the sandstorm against the wind, the regret of those injuries and retirements, how many players sweat and Tears flowed silently in the depths of several deserts along the way, the happiness of eating apples and jujubes at the supply point, recalling the pain and joy of the game, and engraving the friendship of a lifetime.

Ge friend Wu Xiuping described that on the first day of hiking, he encountered a sandstorm that was rare in a century. The wind and sand blew so hard that I couldn't see the direction clearly, and there was always a stinging pain from the sand on my face. I felt the warm hospitality of the desert on the first day.

The next day enters the competition day and officially records the competition results. I was assigned to lead the team and lead the team. I urged myself to be the first to set an example for everyone along the way, so I always kept the top two. Walking wholeheartedly during the journey, I felt very deeply, because in the last five kilometers, I told myself, and also told them, that if we relax at this time, all our previous efforts will be in vain. What moved me was that I gave my glasses to the child, but someone else gave me the glasses.

On the third day, I was moved to tears of joy. Before departure, I was ready to go with team member Chen Hao. He had a sore and swollen foot from 7:30 in the morning to 7:30 in the evening, experiencing countless grinding moments along the way. Bobo and I arrived after 1:00, but Chen Hao spent twice as long walking, and his feet were already swollen, but he never gave up. We set a small goal and only surpassed the previous flag every time, and we worked hard together with the captain to encourage me. It was he who taught me to learn to give, and to learn to achieve others is the real achievement of myself. Chen Hao's feet were severely swollen, with blisters, worn soles, and muscle strains did not affect his belief in finishing. What is already on foot is the belief and dream in the heart. In the last 5 kilometers, 4 people carried 1 stretcher and moved forward with heavy loads. Because there were 5 men and 4 women in the group, even though his legs were not the ones that hurt, Chen Hao did not hesitate to endure the pain and carry them. This is Chen Hao, the founder of Rendao Populus euphratica. I really wanted to cry when I reached the finish line.

Ge You Chen Hao told reporters that both the ancient Silk Road and the new Silk Road respect the most profound cultural spirit of the Chinese nation, and integration and tolerance, exchange and reference, and mutual benefit are the core of the Silk Road spirit. Taking "roads" as the linking hub and actively exploring with the spirit of Xuanzang is not only a national strategy, it is also applicable to thousands of communities. In the Internet age, the community is another big family in life. It is the hub of links and exchanges. Opening the boundaries of the community and allowing the communities to communicate with each other is the development requirement of this era and also the practice of silk. Way of the road spirit. With the Gobi Road, linking the interests and interests of various communities, stimulating the exploration power of Geyou, and honing one's own will, I believe that "revisiting the ancient business road" is not only a competition, but also a spiritual marathon of walking .

Geyou Yang Mingming said: The Gobi Challenge is more difficult than a marathon. In the uncontrollable weather and geographical environment, not only must the main process of the event be guaranteed, but also the safety and experience of the members must be guaranteed. In recent years, the Gobi Challenge has become very popular, and both business elites and running circles have aroused great repercussions. However, due to the particularity and high difficulty of the events, most elite Gobi events can only be carnivals for some people. The high participation costs and risk estimates, coupled with the fact that there are only a handful of institutions that can manage the events, make it difficult for most groups to reach. Intensive cultivation of the community, trying to bring together the elites of the national community, so that more people who want to experience the Gobi desert culture can participate in the Gobi Challenge is the goal of the event.

Ge friend Zhao Yun told the reporter that we did not defeat our opponents in the Gobi, but defeated ourselves. It is not to conquer the Gobi, but to conquer our hearts. With ideals, struggle, persistence and focus, we conquer the laziness and impossibility in our hearts, conquer the comfort of passing by, conquer the egoism that despises the team, and release our hearts. passion, courage, unity and gratitude. When someone wants to back down, everyone in the team will hold his hand; when someone wants to give up, everyone in the team will stand behind him; Everyone will say to him, "Keep on, guys, come on!"

When you are in a place where you look up at the blue sky, your feet are the vast land, and the wind whizzes past your ears, it seems that you are the only one walking forward in the whole universe. The only voice you can hear may be the cry from the bottom of your heart that does not give in to the suffering in front of you. This is why there will always be entrepreneurs who set foot on this land.

Entrepreneurship is a bitter journey, and the so-called happy entrepreneurship may be an illusion. An entrepreneur starts with an entrepreneurial impulse, establishes a business, develops a market, faces strong competition, sorts out management conflicts, and even faces repeated failures and inner retreat. This is very similar to the 108-kilometer Trailwalk in the Gobi. In real life, the mental pressure far exceeds the limit that most people can bear. Facing the explosion of information and fierce competition, we are all lambs who lose ourselves. How to break the situation, how to move forward, how to compete with the inner obsession? This is a life-long dilemma for entrepreneurs and even all people. We cannot see through the issue of life and death, and it is too profound, but the journey of happiness or pain in life is something that all living beings can grasp. An adventure along the Silk Road, facing the fear and wandering in the heart, and finally finding yourself, what you gain is a group of friends who "empathize with you", and the most unforgettable journey of blooming in your life.

Every participating Geyou, looking back at the time, will feel that the road is difficult and how he persevered. Perhaps this is something that cannot be touched or seen through ordinary times. Most of the time, our inner strength and physical explosiveness are beyond our expectations. Bai Yansong said: "Many seemingly useless behaviors are often the most valuable." Belief is a kind of strength, and faith is also a kind of strength ,This is real.

The setting sun in the desert, the wind blowing the yellow sand, this journey is either alone or accompanied by each other. The heroic feat of 108 kilometers is a physical and mental experience, a reborn transformation, and a journey to re-understand yourself! The bitterness on the road has melted into the eyes, and the plight of the soul has turned into incomparable firmness. On the road, it is a long journey of life.
