Twenty-year-old is always an age when dreams are bigger than the sky. When we are young, we follow the rules created by society and walk step by step, but there is always a voice in our heart that calls out to you, it seems that every time we derail the reality It is a wonderful dream. This dream and rules have nothing to do with reality and life. It is just a spiritual liberation movement. The road seems to be the best carrier of this movement. Countless people have embarked on this road, giving up reality and giving up time, just walking unrestrained.
"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". Since yesterday, this sentence has been echoing in my mind like a nightmare. It seems inappropriate to say a nightmare, but it has been stirring up my unfulfilled dreams for a long time. Maybe this is "On the Road" The sequelae of this movie left me, and it's time to sort out what I saw about walking. In fact, I haven't seen much about this topic. Two movies - - - - "Wildness" Survival" and "On the Road", several books - - - - - "Late Gap Year" and "Hitchhiking to Berlin" have been read, "Wild Survival" and "Ten Years of Backpacking: My Profession is Travel" are just open Headed up, reading. Let's talk about the title of this article. This is the slogan of the casino. It is nothing more than reminding people to be ridiculous, and then keep everything that happens in Vegas in Vegas. Walking as much as you like, and leaving everything that happened on the road on the road is just a commemoration of our youth.
Walking always has a different purpose: "On the Road" is more like an exile of youth, binge drinking, marijuana smoking, and unbridled sex, which fully meet the definition of exile, and after all this, more More is thinking. The characters travel across the continental United States time and time again, eventually reaching Mexico, but after a long and exhausting indulgence, it's more of a realization of the meaning of life. The same walking "Wilderness Survival" is more like an exploration of the meaning of life, burning all the money, walking away from home, walking aimlessly, and finally walking into the wilderness, you can experience various characters along the way, watch Go to a variety of landscapes, but leaving more is also thinking, thinking about what kind of mood it is when the male protagonist and the farmer shout "society" together, you can think about the male protagonist's kind of Alaskan wilderness. What kind of desire, and at the same time, you should think about what kind of choice he included when he wrote the sentence "Happiness only real when shared" before his death, and what made a young man from a wealthy family choose this suicide style. 's travel.
The book "Late Gap Year" is the first time I came into contact with travel books. I gave myself a coming-of-age ceremony on the road, a trip called a gap year, and I really experienced the joy of being a volunteer and learned To love others, to love strangers, you can only be loved if you learn to love others. The real book has been through for several years, and even many plots have been forgotten. Volunteering in India, it was this book that planted the seeds of travel for me, and it was also the reason why I fell in love with travel.
Around 2010, a video started to go viral on the Internet. The name of the video was very sensational. It was called "Some things will never be done if you don't do them now." The story of a person's girlfriend who took a ride from Beijing to Berlin all the way, and when I bought the book "Hitchhiking to Berlin", I finished reading it in one go. This book seems more like an experience. All kinds of things happened along the way, experience the customs of different countries, and finally ask yourself, when do you plan to start?
Walking is a kind of practice. Use your heart to experience everything that happens on the road. When you look around the world, you will find that the things you didn't pay attention to are so important, and the things you are busy fighting for every day are so important. Money is not worth it, when everything comes back, what you have gone through is not only a journey, but also a rare treasure recorded in your young years. In fact, when I write here, I find that my words completely deviate from this topic, but the fact is that only when things happen on the road can there be things that can stay on the road, so let's stop there.

Postscript: Actually, this sentence about Las Vegas came up suddenly when I saw the last scene of the movie. Dean is a prodigal son after all, a prodigal son who can never settle down. He has no friends in his heart. The so-called My dear Searle, just because this person is willing to accompany him on the road, accompany him crazy, this may be the only way to stay on the road after all, in fact, the last part really almost made me shed tears, the years of youth So ruthless, but so memorable.
