In pursuit of his dream of becoming a knight, a Fujian lawyer took his wife on a horseback trip across the country.
The name of this Fujian lawyer is Zheng Jingtai. In April last year, he and his wife set out from Ili, Xinjiang, riding horses alone and began their trip. They plan to ride back to their hometown of Fujian from Xinjiang and plan to complete the journey in two years, covering a distance of 8,000 kilometers. Zheng Jintai hopes that through this trip, he can fulfill his dream of being a knight, and at the same time, he can distance himself from the worldly life and gain spiritual freedom.
What difficulties did they experience along the way?
Although this way of traveling is very romantic, they experienced many difficulties along the way. They traveled on horseback and basically slept in the open, often with tents and living outside. Sometimes they couldn't take a shower for several days. Walking on the Gobi Desert, there is no water, no food, and no human beings. I can't bear to drink dirty water from the pond on the road. In addition, they also need to raise horses. Not only do they need to buy feed, but now they also need to replace their paws. They have to go to the doctor when they are sick, and it is especially difficult to find food and drink for the horses.
Do you like this kind of travel?
I also love the way they travel. Although you will encounter many difficulties along the way, or you may not be able to take a hot bath or sleep comfortably, you can experience many things along the way and test your will. I believe that after this trip, we will also learn to cherish our current life and live more contentedly.
