The dog Zhou Menglin had raised for many years passed away.

Zhou Menglin cried for two days, then finally pulled herself together and decided to travel.

Her destination: Lhasa.

With a portable suitcase, a laptop, and an action camera, Zhou Menglin set off.

Gradually, Zhou Menglin realized that Lhasa was not the only destination.

There were also the people in Lhasa.

Chen Jiaoye, thank you for coming into my life.

Thank you for showing me that there is still a life in this world capable of loving me without reservation.

*Other than the dog-related details, nothing is based on real people or events.

*Happy ending

This story was conceived on the sixth day after the author's dog of eight years and ten months passed away. The author stayed up all night, went to sleep after seven in the morning, and woke up a little after nine. Wanting to go back to sleep, the author closed her eyes, and an idea about someone preparing to set off slowly took shape in her mind.

The author had once planned to take a road trip with her family and their dog when they had enough money. So when the surname Zhou and the words "go to Lhasa" came to mind, she decided to write the idea down.

I can't go to Lhasa, so go there for me.

Theme: Life is about more than travel
