Longing for Freedom, Yearning for the Distant Lands! A Mountain Bike Fulfills a Small Wish!

2020.4.12

Freedom, far away? It's so unattainable to me!

Every day, I repeat the same work. Work can only barely sustain a family, let alone a decent livelihood! I can't be lazy, I can't rebel, fearing that one day I'll lose this job. There are elderly parents below and young children above, a situation that's both big and small in age!

But I also yearn for freedom and the beautiful landscapes of the Chinese countryside. In this extraordinary year, I realized the fragility of human beings. I don't want to waste every rest, I can't just lie in bed playing on my phone, my nearsightedness is getting worse, I must take action!

Therefore, under my limited conditions, I also want to unleash my self, in a way that doesn't affect anything, I've decided to buy a bicycle, seeking a quiet place in this bustling city!

Yesterday, the bicycle arrived in front of me after waiting for several days, it came with a rush, I was very excited. No matter what others say, cycling is something I've always wanted to do but never did!

I immediately assembled the bike after work, as the sky was getting dark, I admired it for a long time and posted it on WeChat, not to show off, just to live freely!

Today, I got up early with the bike and went downstairs, wearing a mask, avoiding crowded places, seeking a quiet place, I rode alone on the road, wandering through the alleys, I felt lonely sometimes, wishing for a companion, but it's impossible, just passing cars!

I don't know where the energy comes from, I cycled for several hours, still seeking a quiet place, but in this chaotic world, I didn't take any photos!

Cycling, it's just the beginning!
