The Wind Passes 318, My Heart Goes to Lhasa

The Northeastern kitchens at minus 20 degrees, the cramped rental houses in Jinan, the scorching construction sites in Xi'an, the crowded urban villages in Chengdu, the cold office buildings in Shenzhen, the lonely old streets in Hangzhou - six people from all over the world, with their own difficulties and regrets, are struggling in the cold winter of life. Yu Hua, who failed the public examination, Lu Yang, who was confused by debt, Wang Tian, ​​an orphan who was owed wages, Lu Na, who was traumatized by the workplace, Xiao Shi and Su Chun, lovers who quarreled for their livelihood, and Lao Wu, who was in the advanced stage of gastric cancer. They had never met each other. Invited by a 318 National Highway, they crossed the mountains and seas and rushed to Chengdu. They formed the "318 Light Seeking Team" and embarked on a cycling trip from Chengdu to Lhasa. Along the way, there are the biting cold wind of Mila Mountain and the thrilling steep slopes of the Nu River's 72 bends, the suffocation of high altitude and the loneliness of late-night camping. There is also the warmth of Tibetan sweet tea, the piety of fluttering prayer flags, and the needless support of companions. They took off their disguises while traveling over mountains and ridges, confided their hearts under the bonfire under the starry sky, and in the magnificent plateau scenery and rich Tibetan culture, they reconciled with past regrets and said goodbye to their confused selves. This ride spanning thousands of kilometers has long surpassed the original intention of "escape" and has become a practice about courage, companionship and redemption. When the golden dome of the Potala Palace reflected everyone's smiling faces, they finally understood: The road of life is never in vain, those moments of gritting one's teeth and persevering, and the warm moments of each other will eventually turn into a light that illuminates the way forward, guiding everyone with love in their hearts to bravely rush to the next mountain and sea.
