In 2023, "The Power of Walking" invites 6 travelers who were unable to make the trip for some reason in 2021 to complete the old agreement and start a new journey, and go to Ganzi to embrace the unknown and questions, and explore the established choices The scenery outside. For Chen Kun, visiting Gonggar again after four years was an unplanned surprise. "Life is repeated a hundred, a thousand or ten thousand times, but we can always have some new experiences in repeated external environments."

One of the surprises is that his physical strength is better than usual. Chen Kun feels, On the one hand, this is due to the practice and control of breathing, and on the other hand, it is because I always pay attention to things outside while walking. "There are many ways to look inward, but it is equally important to remain aware of your feelings." He gave an example of his experience during this journey, "I keep looking at what I am thinking, and I will see the thought of 'a little difficult' , but when I saw it, it seemed to pass, so I walked down.”

But now he can communicate with everyone more truly. "I have been working on the Power of Walking for 13 years. I have always hoped that this project can help others, but in the end, it helped myself and I became relaxed."

As one of the people who experienced this project, Zhou Xiaohan The greatest feeling is true. "If you have something to say, let's talk for a while. If there's nothing particularly important to say, you can just stay quietly by yourself for a while. This is a very comfortable state." During the walk, everyone abandoned their original social identities. , face yourself again instead of playing a certain role. "Walking is a real journey. I hope everyone can have such a real journey."

The unforgettable journey also contains thrills and accidents. Zhou Xiaohan recalled his experience on the day he passed the pass, “The mountain was close to 60 degrees, and there was no one to guard me when I turned back. I could only walk up by following the footprints of the people in front of me. When I was approaching the pass, I saw Brother Kun sitting on it, shouting encouragement. , singing, I suddenly felt that the climax of so many days had finally arrived, and I was reluctant to finish the last few steps."

Although they went through two expeditions, because they set out in the rainy season, the group encountered a lot of foggy weather, which greatly increased the risk of the journey. During the process, they also happened to "pick up" two teenagers aged 18 or 19. Worried about their safety, Chen Kun invited them to join the team. "I'm very happy about this. They were a little wary at first, saying we didn't have much money, but then they became very relaxed and integrated with us. Our luggage was put on our backpacks." You can coexist with everyone and enjoy yourself. , and even being able to find friends is the charm of walking.
