Option: Hiking Poor
was born in 1996 in rural Hubei province, summer, was“Wild” growing up, the same age when playing house, she has climbed the tree to pick fruit. When others were frightened by the insects panic, but her heart is no waves, directly sat down to observe.

When the villagers saw her, they called her “Wild boy,” and Sciascia waved cheerfully. Because her parents were always busy with work, she was not restricted like other parents, as long as she liked, almost all will indulge her to do. Every time her parents asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up, Sciascia pointed to the mountain ahead without hesitation, “I'm going to go over that mountain and see what's behind it.”,

let her have always been very yearning for nature. It's just that these naive ideas only exist in childhood, after entering the society, by the reality of hard buried in the depths of the mind. Both said that poetry and distance is just ideal, two points a line is the reality, has been in 25 years ago, summer and summer feel their life is boring. She wanted to travel, but couldn't make up her mind until the 2021 company declared bankruptcy for various reasons.

Summer summer just realized that this“Binding” his work for many years, was forcibly unloaded. When she was at a loss as to what to do next, she read her childhood dream of writing“Over the mountain”.

A sudden burst of blood that had never been seen in her, a“Then go make your dreams come true” thought, came to mind. Having made up his mind, Sciascia's first trip was on the sichuan-tibet route. Knowing that the scenery along the way was the meaning of travel, and that she didn't have that much money on hand to support her for so long, she decided to complete the journey on foot. A baby stroller was the“Suitcase” that accompanied her from Hubei to Tibet. Four cans of gas, a tent, a cooking pot, two pairs of shoes and some clothes were all she had to carry on her journey. Before setting out, Xia Xia told her parents her plan, but this time she was facing the opposition of her parents. The reason is“Not doing a good job” and a girl is too dangerous outside. But looking at her daughter, who had already prepared everything, the parents knew that she had not come to ask for advice, but to inform them. Sure enough, her parents' objection did not stop Sciascia, but promised that he would return safely, and then pushed the cart toward the direction of Tibet.

Thousands of miles of hiking route 318 are said to be a must in this lifetime, because there is no experience in hiking, Sciascia is after doing a lot of strategy, the choice of this road. Barely a month into the journey, Sciascia was beginning to discover that the trip was not as easy as he had thought.
image.png
A girl who weighed only 100 kilograms was pushing a 160-kilogram trolley. She walked tens of kilometers a day. Her feet were weak, and her shoes were worn and broken. Even her feet were starting to break.

image.png
But it was not difficult, and every time she went up or down a hill, she felt a headache when she saw something more than half her height on the base. Uphill good, can stop and go up to push, really can not push the card two stones to breathe, to the top of the slope, she has a big sweat. She was most helpless when she was going downhill. It was extremely difficult to drag a 160-pound thing down the slope.

If she was not careful, it would be easy for the car to carry her down the slope. Every time they met, she could only use his body block in front of the cart, step by step down. Sometimes can not brake, the thing on the cart will fall from her body, hit the raw pain can not hide, because a dodge, the car out of control. Fortunately, these slopes along the way is not much, all the way the wind and sun, in order to save money most of the summer is to find a place to pitch tents, hotels only when necessary to stay.

This also led to her dress and make people look like a“Little beggar”, every time stopped in a place to eat a meal, summer summer will be subject to the boss up and down the eyes. Always afraid that she was a “Dine'n' Dash,” a poor customer who would only invite her in if Sciascia offered her her own money. Xia Xia had met too many cold eyes along the stop-and-go route. At first, she would feel uncomfortable and sad, but as the destination got closer and closer, the scenery on the way became more and more amazing, she had also accepted these strange looks.
image.png
This road, perhaps many people do not understand, but she felt down always meaningful, never see the scenery, in this hike, she saw the first half of her life had never seen the world. The closer you get to Tibet, the more difficult the summer hikes become, as rising altitude makes oxygen the biggest problem. She has tried to walk 50 kilometers a day and less than 5 kilometers a day after entering Tibet.

When Sciascia could not walk, he did not force himself to find a place to “Camp out,” lying in the tent, looking at the famous mountains and rivers in front of him. Feeling the touch of the breeze, This Moment Xia-xia also finally know why Tibet can purify people's minds.

Looking at each of the scenery here, charming and magical, but also gave her the momentum to continue to go on. What impressed Sciascia Most was the journey from Dartsendo to Yajiang County, where she covered 50km without stopping for the night because she dared not stop.

It began to rain cats and dogs. She tried to find a place to pitch her tent, but there was no one around. A Wolf was staring at her in the distance. Xia Xia was startled, took a deep breath, try to avoid and it, slowly pushing the car forward, until no longer see the figure of the wolf, hanging a heart also finally put down. But then the cold eyes, so far she can not help but shiver, but also glad that the wolf, did not come to her. After almost a year, Sciascia began to find that he no longer had enough money to keep going.

Many times, she had no choice but to ask for help from her colleagues on the road. However, this was not a long-term solution, and she did not want to rely on charity from others to fulfill her dream.

So at that time, she began to record their journey, will be seen and heard all the record in their own video. After slowly amassing some fans, she would often stop somewhere with a better view and start a live broadcast. And the support of her fans, and the money she earns from the media, is also pushing her forward. The Journey: a change in 2023, Xia Xia's first Tibetan hiking trip ended, along the way she was not much of a talker, made a lot of friends, but also accumulated a lot of admirers.

During this period, there were both bitter and sweet tears. Many people questioned her, and many people admired her. This experience brought her out of her inner turmoil and gave her a lot of confidence. A year and two months of hiking has left her skin darkening, her knees showing signs of wear and tear, and calluses on the soles of her feet.

But that didn't stop her, and after adjusting for a while, Sciascia set off again for her second hike. Summed up the experience of the last time, the second Tibet appears more smooth, in order to facilitate the grooming she gave up her long hair waist hair, but shaved into a buzz cut. From this time on, more and more people knew her and paid attention to her. Many fans who met her during the journey would choose to help her. It's just that many people find it a little strange to see the Sciascia they saw six months ago.
image.png
It's because her face is changing so fast that a 28-year-old looks 58. Huge changes, so that everyone can not believe that just six months of change how so Big?

image.png
It was precisely because of this appearance that Xia Xia's fans suddenly grew up. Many people started from curiosity, but soon chose to stay for her courage and perseverance. When someone asks her, does she really not feel anxious about her looks? Sciascia smiles, squinting, and says she would have been mad with worry in the old days,

but now the wrinkles are more like her “Medals” and the “Marks of time” that have been left on her face by hiking. The only “Bad thing” about hiking may be a change in appearance, but the benefits are more than she can find with zero grand. In the past, she always doubted herself because of all kinds of little things, but when she really stepped on the land of Tibet, she found that those troubles were really just a drop in the ocean, and the wind blew them away. So the next time someone asked her if she would regret it, she would still say“No”. If she had to say“No”, it would be because she regretted not leaving earlier.

Even though her skin was no longer as fair as it used to be, and she was no longer as young as she used to be, the snow mountain, grassland, and lake on her journey brought her a healing that could not be expressed in words. By the time the trip was over, Sciascia had no plans to stop and, if she had the chance, take a hike abroad. They say it is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books.

Only by stepping over every inch of the Earth can you see the meaning of 10,000 lives. While many people do not understand Sciascia, each person has chosen a different life. Some want stability, others want adventure, and Sciascia is the latter.
