New Delhi:When Liqi set foot outside his house in central China last April, he was a 31-year-old man with a dream and a two-wheeled cart. Nearly a year later, he arrived in Lhasa, Tibet - his body battered, his knee injured, and his face 20 years older.
He had walked 3,300 km across mountains and valleys, through snowstorms and typhoons, sleeping under the open sky, rarely bathing, and cooking frugal meals to survive. The journey changed him in more ways than one. His hair had grown wild, his skin darkened by the sun, and his once-youthful face now carried the weight of time and struggle.
"I am 20 years older than when I started my journey," he said, as per the South China Morning Post.
Liqi's route was nothing short of brutal. His journey, which started in Jingzhou, Hubei, led him through some of China's toughest terrains. Pushing his cart loaded with supplies, he climbed mountains, fought off hunger, and endured extreme weather. At one point, he was stranded on a peak during a blizzard for an entire day without food.
Wild wolves twice crossed his path. And when his cart tumbled into a ditch, breaking its wheels, he had to improvise repairs to keep moving. In the final months of his journey, a severe knee injury forced him to limp toward his destination.
