When Li Guangdong walked into the interview room of the self-driving tour conference "Can Talk", his eyes lit up. He was really handsome. I don’t know what Li Guangdong looked like when he was young, but just like few people care about what Sean Connery looked like when he was young, 's handsome appearance full of time marks always makes people think that every wrinkle on his face is worth listening to. experience.

Li Guangdong has a tall appearance, a clear face, a tall nose, and a gray beard. The most peculiar thing is that his appearance seems to have the characteristics of "worldwide" . No one in China of Li Guangdong would doubt that he is not Chinese. When he travels around the world, he is often regarded as the same ethnicity. He was considered a South American in South America, an American in the United States, and an Italian in the UK. The appearance of the chameleon like also provides convenience (and some troubles) for him to travel around the world to some extent.
Li Guangdong is actually from Qiqihar and lives and works in Nanjing.
There are many people on the journey for a long time, but there are not many people who have the courage to take the 80-year-old father who is at the end of cancer on the journey. There are many regrets in life, which are mainly due to thinking and doing nothing , especially when faces his close relatives; Li Guangdong’s story is a story about unwillingness to succumb to "regret".
Today's Li Guangdong has already traveled on 5 continents, but only 4 years ago did Li Guangdong embark on his first journey, when he was 53 years old. That time, I walked as I wanted, staying in a youth hostel, and traveling with others by chance. Depart from Nanjing to Xishuangbanna and then head north in Yunnan Province. After arriving at Feilai Temple, we will hike for three days to Yubeng Village and then go to Lhasa. Fly from Lhasa to Nepal on the ABC route and then head to Bhutan; during the trip to Bhutan After the earthquake in Nepal, he flew directly to Thailand and returned home.

Li Guangdong told me that he could not return to Nepal during the trek after the earthquake in Nepal. For the safety of travellers, he said, "We will become very close friends when we get along for three days. When we were separated, we promised to each other that I would visit him in the United States, and he would also come to China to find me. He was still there when the Nepal earthquake occurred. Hiking in the nearby mountainous area. I have been contacting him but did not get in touch. I hope he just accidentally lost my contact information.” The journey was ups and downs. Without the generosity of a stranger from Taiwan, Li Guangdong would not have enough cash. Buying a plane ticket and flying to Thailand... The story can be told for hours, but the most important thing is that this journey makes him suddenly enlightened, realizes the surprise of exploring the unknown in life and the touch of strange friendship.

80-year-old father with advanced cancer on the road
Li Guangdong’s father is in advanced stage of cancer and is too old to undergo surgery. Due to the invasion of the disease, the elderly are getting weaker and unable to walk more than 100 Rice, people are increasingly depressed and thinner. After Li Guangdong came back from his first trip, he found that he was in a better mood and his condition was particularly good. He thought that instead of making his father frown all day at home and waiting for death, he might as well take him on a trip, and perhaps heal. Effect.
's father liked to collect jade in his early years. Li Guangdong asked his father if he would drive from Nanjing all the way to Hotan in Xinjiang by car? The old father not only agreed, but also asked his son to take an iron drill from the garage and put it on the car in preparation for picking up jade in Hotan. This decision is of course risky, but Li Guangdong wants to take his father to fulfill his dream. So he took his old father and mother to travel by car from Nanjing to Xinjiang for more than a month. During the trip, his father swept away the haze on his face and laughed every day. He never complained about the bumps, food and drink of the journey; the scenery of the journey made him forget his troubles,He is very happy. Li Guangdong often asks his father: Are you tired, dad? Would you like to stay here for one more day? "Not tired". He never delayed the trip because his father shouted tired all the way. When he got out of the car, his father insisted on walking by himself, unwilling others to treat him as a patient. So the group of three walked along.
During the trip, at least three times, when the owner of the hotel learned that Li Guangdong was traveling with his elderly parents, he said, "This is what I always wanted to do, but I didn’t do it. You can do it. I'm very touched, I don't want the meal."
encountered a sandstorm in Korla
When Li Guangdong and his party drove from Urumqi to Korla, they encountered a sandstorm. Sandstorms are also blowing across the Hotan area. The yellow sand in the sky prevented them from moving forward, and there would be sand in the car. They needed to change their itinerary immediately and return to Urumqi. He discussed with his father: "Dad, I can't stay here anymore. After we return to Urumqi, we will go to northern Xinjiang. The scenery in northern Xinjiang is more beautiful." Father was silent all the way. When arriving in Urumqi, my father said, "I am very happy on this trip. I have seen all the scenery along the way. I have seen everything. I am very happy. I am very happy all the way. I will not go to Beijiang. I am tired. Home."
Li Guangdong said, people have faith, no matter whether they are in the weakest time of life or when they are full of vigor. The belief of 's father is to go to Hetian to see what the jade produced in Hetian looks like. When he has this goal, he can bear it no matter how hard or tired, but when he finds that he can't accomplish it, he is discouraged and really tired. Li Guangdong's father died 40 days after returning to Nanjing. I did not suffer when I left, and I left in sleep.
The greatest comfort for Li Guangdong is to be with his father during the last period of his life, to accompany him every day during the journey, watching him smile happily. The incident of deeply affected Li Guangdong. He thought that even at the last moment of 's life, he hoped that he would drive on the road instead of lying in the hospital. Since then, he has made up his mind to travel all over the world. Li Guangdong traveled through Australia, Europe, North America, South America, and Africa in the next four years. Next, he plans to drive across Russia from the east to the west, and then return to China from Xinjiang through Central Asian countries.
