Thanks to the crowdfunding support of 80 friends for three months, I was able to achieve this breakthrough in my life.
This time, I traveled with my wife. My wife and I are classmates of Diamond Nine DP4. In the study of Diamond Nine, we grew and progressed together, and teachers and classmates gave us the greatest love, tolerance and support.
On the 27th, we drove to Shanghai and took the earliest flight the next day to Baotou destination.
The scenery on the road is good, and we are walking happily in the afterglow of the sunset.
We are the second-in-command of type nine personality, and we look very careful. As a result, we left all our coats at home. I went to Decathlon and bought two new jackets. The feeling of "breaking money and eliminating disasters" haha
On the morning of 28th, we flew to Baotou at 6:40. On the same plane, there are actually our diamond nine-high-distance tutor, the platform staff and our children's shoes. Ha ha. It's so predestined.
After more than three hours, we arrived at Baotou airport safely. As soon as we got out of the airport, Dabai, a handsome guy from Ye Tao Outdoor Organizing Committee, was waiting for us at the exit.
After arriving at the hotel, we saw the outdoor staff of the hotel waiting early. They were busy helping us arrange registration and distribute famous brands. And on the signature wall, we have all kinds of stars' pose and signature photos as a souvenir.
In the afternoon, we packed our bags and had a rest to recharge our batteries for tomorrow's hiking. I went to pedicure with Chen Jianhe Bunny, haha.
In the evening, we started a grand adventure. Cultivate outdoor dragons and introduce us to the significance of hiking. Who I am, where I come from and where I'm going. Just like the theme of this hike: see the world, see all beings and see yourself. . The meaning of hiking is not just a travel experience, but a life growth, at least, I think so. .
At this moment, more than 80 classmates and friends who set off together under the stage, in the words of Dalong, "We are all brothers and sisters after walking through the desert Gobi".
We are divided into seven groups, haha. I am also lucky to be in the same group as Gao Dao. Aroused everyone's envy.
After introducing the Kubuqi Desert and the rules of challenges, Gao Dao shared the significance of hiking. We hold high the banner of oath and will go all out tomorrow. I remember Gao Dao said that in this hiking process, you may have 100 thoughts of persistence and giving up, and the only way for you to succeed is that 100 thoughts are persistence. Because once you give up, you give up all your previous efforts.
After the ceremony, we went back to our room to make final preparations for tomorrow's adventure.
Am I WHO?
Day 1 day
The day of going to war has finally arrived, and the next three days and two nights will usher in a very important challenge and breakthrough in our lives.
Two hours' drive, we arrived at the Sulige camp on the edge of Kubuqi desert. Colorful flags, music and Mongolian big bags make our blood boil, as if we were Mongolian soldiers going to war.
The professional teacher took us to warm up, and we set off in the sound of the starting gun of Gao Dao. The first day, 24 kilometers, 343 meters up and 356 meters down, but the first day was a warm-up day, and the results were not counted. So my wife and I decided to walk slowly hand in hand. It has been a long time since two people put down their mobile phones and left the city to feel the beauty of nature.
We walked slowly and came to the desert, which was really shocking and boundless yellow sand. Although I have been to the desert before, people are different, their purposes are different, and their mood of seeing things is different.
At the halfway supply station, we ate fruit and dry food. . Haha, although "gourmet" is different from Jiangnan's, it is very enjoyable to eat.
After getting dressed for more than ten minutes, we walked on, because the speed was slow and the challenge to our bodies was not great, but our feet had some accounts. However, such a journey can be felt with my wife, which is still very romantic. .
After more than six hours, we arrived at the camp on the first day. The camp is on the edge of a small oasis, next to which should be our sarin. The country is working hard to prevent and control land desertification, and deserts may disappear in the future. This trip is even more precious.
After arriving at the camp, we did stretching recovery training. After a simple dinner, Gao Dao organized a simple sharing meeting, and some contestants shared their feelings on the first day. The flow of energy, the breakthrough speech and the harvest of meditation have made everyone feel a lot.
Back to the tent, we are 14 people with a tent, haha, both men and women are "bastards", each with a sleeping bag and no bathing. After simply brushing their teeth and washing their faces, they got into their sleeping bags. Sleeping next to Gao Dao, I learned that Gao Dao's knee meniscus was injured. I felt a little sorry that I couldn't travel together the next day. I hope he will recover soon. Before going to bed, the monitor specified the competition strategy for the next day, because the next day is 34 kilometers, which is also the most difficult and farthest day. We travel together and set out together. Ensure that the first six points can squeeze into the top three. Because other groups have just demobilized special forces, demobilized army field troops, fitness instructors and college students. . Like most of us over 35, it means Alexander. But we can face the challenge, otherwise why come to the desert? Is it a festival? Ha ha laugh
the next day
Finally ushered in the first day of the game, and the horn of getting up at 6 o'clock sounded. Because the temperature difference between day and night is about 20 degrees, it often freezes at night.
Wash it quickly and pack your backpack and sleeping bag. Let's go to a restaurant for breakfast. Wow. The food is good, including milk, eggs, porridge, meat and vegetables. Make sure we have enough nutrition to cope with today's schedule.
At 7: 30, we began to warm up for today's game. It's 34 kilometers today, 482 meters up and 47 1 meter down. The difficulty and challenge are the biggest. Today is to record the results. My wife and I are not in the same group. We decided to fight for the team today.
The rules for leaving today are a little different. Before we begin, we must complete a brain teaser. As my center, I mean a lot of pressure. Soon several groups successfully answered the questions and set off. We are still thinking and trying. Finally, Gao Dao got it, feeling that Gao Dao didn't want to get it. Seeing that we were like ants on hot bricks, we solved it in a few times. Tsinghua Gao Feisheng, 17 years old, is just different. . Bye, cow! ! ! We ran away from the starting point Wang Han and Teng Ying run fastest, followed by Xiaoling, Lao Wang and Chen Jianhe Jianbing, and then my captain and sister Ganoderma lucidum. . We are sprint members of today's top six. The rule of the competition is the sixth place in the calculation group, so the nine of us go all out to hit the top three in the safest way and number of people.
Obviously, everyone's speed is up today. Not just walking around, but going all out.
We are also getting closer and closer to the team in front. Team members communicate and encourage each other by wireless phone.
It's deep and steep. I'm a little afraid of heights, but I see everyone sleeping. I crustily skin of head and slipped. . Actually, I'm not that scared. Everything needs self-breakthrough.
If you persist, you can't give up.
Soon, we arrived at the position of flag 32, which is also a supply station. We replenished water in three minutes, ate two pieces of ham and set off. Every minute counts!
When the three of us walked to the flag of 5 1 together, my thigh cramped. Slowly, the captain and sister Ganoderma lucidum are getting farther and farther away from me. I stopped and applied essential oil to my thigh, which relieved me a lot, but I just couldn't get up. I became a situation where no one walked alone. The sky is full of yellow sand, only the sound of wind and whistling sand is endless. A little desperate inside. Can I continue? You want to give up? Never before, never after. What if I have a severe cramp? There is no signal, and my wife can't get in touch. At this time, I suddenly want to have my wife around. Loneliness and powerlessness fill my heart. The steps are getting heavier and heavier.
Whenever I meet climbing a mountain, I'm prone to cramps, damn my thighs, and I fall off the chain at a critical moment. . . Will it affect team performance? There are many ideas in my head. Team, wife. . . . Then I remembered a word from Gao Dao. He said he hurt his knee when he went hiking next door last year, but he learned a trick. If you love you, I will go to mine. I can't give up. I'll try this trick, too Don't focus on worrying. I'm afraid I can't solve this problem. . Keep moving. . . . Persistence is 100 times. .
Go up a slope, go down a slope and meet yourself. . . I began to pay attention to myself. Compared with this world, I am so small. That's when I met myself. This moment is the time to practice. Go forward with consciousness.
Climb a sand slope and see a sign. Stop-"Who did you think of when you came here, and what did you think of? What would you say to him/her if you had the chance? " At this time, all you can think of must be true love and really face your heart.
On the way, I met a little gecko, a little beetle and a rabbit. The seemingly lifeless desert actually hides many tenacious vitality creatures. Take a sip of water, eat beef jerky and limp. The weather is not very hot, and my mood is slowly changing. Two friends came from behind, saw me, and asked about me. I am proud to say that it is okay. . I feel very warm inside and finally met someone. Finally, I encouraged them to leave quickly, although they were not in the same team. Ha ha. Mode 2 starts perfectly. . .
There are still 10 flags from the destination, and I met a person from the organizing Committee. He gave me a thumbs-up and said, Come on! ! We'll be there soon. Yes, it's already 7 1 flag. And 10. Can I give up? Absolutely impossible. . . .
Slowly, I saw lakes, oases and trees! I think the camp should be very close.
Finally arrived at the camp. The drums sounded, cheering for me. In the last few tens of meters, I trotted forward and crossed the finish line. .
I saw the old monitor of DP4, and I hugged him, and my tears came down. . . It is not a grievance, but seeing a truly powerful self. I was moved by myself. .
Put down your backpack and go back to the terminal. My wife hasn't arrived yet. One day's experience, I know it is a bigger challenge for her. As a person with the same psychological model, I know her inner feelings. At this time, she needs me. . . Wait for her. Get her. I can do it. . .
In this process, we have welcomed more partners to reach our destination. We beat drums and cheered, and the children arrived. That's great. Everything is showing our greatest potential. .
After waiting for 1 hour for 40 minutes, my wife finally appeared not far away. I watched her walk to the finish line with a cane in one hand and a trekking stick in the other. I feel distressed. Come on, you can do it. I will wait for you at the finish line. When she crossed the finish line, I hugged her tightly and her eyes were red. . It wasn't easy, but you succeeded, wife. . . .
Back to the tent, we had a rest. We wore slippers and walked hand in hand in the camp, limping against the sunset.
In the camp, going to the toilet is a big challenge. .
There is a big difference between men's bathroom and women's bathroom. . . This scenery is good, haha. . . .
Eating stuffy mutton at night, each group taking turns to perform programs, as well as bonfire parties and fireworks shows ~ in the desert? In the room, we danced happily, and laughter and applause came and went. This is the happiness we want!
10:50, we went back to the tent to rest. Although we were not sleepy, we walked more than 20 kilometers on the last day. A self-disciplined life is a free life. Ha ha!
On the last day, because of the excellent performance of the team members, I didn't have a ranking task, which was a little regrettable, but it was also a satisfaction to finish the last day's hiking with my wife.
Her legs can't stand high-intensity climbing, so we have to walk slowly around the long road.
On the way, we met several companions, some were injured, and some were walking with the injured partners. Haitao, Hongwei, Fairy and Xiumei, you are all the best partners! Thank you for your persistence all the way. I also absorbed energy.
Love really shows at this moment. Meeting yourself with love is the precious part.
We were the last to reach the finish line, but we succeeded. We are still a victory and a breakthrough.
We received a heavy medal from Gao Dao, oh yeah ~ we actually finished it. Those tangled, worried and scared feelings suddenly vanished!
Thank you for your wife's mutual support all the way. The road of life and marriage should be like this.
The three-day and two-night challenge is over, and everyone has a full harvest and a tired body, but he laughs triumphantly. This is a heroic gesture.
In the evening, we held a celebration banquet in the hotel. Our team won the second place in the team?
In the evening, we hug, we sing and we drink ~
Familiar faces remind us of walking side by side in the desert. The inner excitement, happiness and enthusiasm overflowed without reservation.
Finally, I want to praise the children who participated in the competition. The youngest is only 5 years old and still insists on walking the whole course. When he came on stage, the audience applauded warmly. In the bright and determined eyes of the child, I believe that his future life will be different.
Gao Dao said that Diamond Nine Platform will take us all to experience such activities for a period of time every year. Let us read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road, and reading countless people is naturally our personality. Thanks for meeting such a platform and learning to grow.
I will never forget this experience.
