Uncle after the 80s traveled to China with his career: let me feel polite and friendly in Shandong

At the age of 40, for many people, family, career, and dreams have been realized one by one, living a stable life. For Zhang Zhongning, the age of 40 is just the beginning and the starting point of dreams. In 2021, 42 -year -old Zhang Zhongning decided to go crazy and traveled to China with his career, and lived a life.

Start traveling for a feeling

On August 12, a green RV with "highway clothing" attracted a lot of people's attention in the trunk market event of Liancheng Square in Jinan. The car was placed on the car. Come. Among the bustling crowd, a middle -aged man in black and long hair is Zhang Zhongning, the owner of the RV. "Many friends have been here today, and some are brushed me on the video platform." Zhang Zhongning said that there were no fans, all friends came.

In 2021, in order to find the feelings in his heart, Zhang Zhongning decided to create his own clothing brand together, traveling around China with his career, and traveling all over the river. Although the dream is beautiful, the reality is not as simple as imagined. "It took seven or eight months to change the car. All the design and modifications need to be confirmed by yourself."

The car was changed. For the experimental effect, Zhang Zhongning drove to Yunnan with his friends. After confirming the vehicle situation and travel mode, in October 2021, the RV with "highway clothing" officially departed from Guangzhou. For nearly a year, Zhang Zhongning walked through Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang and arrived in Shandong.

"I have seen a lot of scenery on the way, and I have encountered a lot of people. This makes me very happy, but there are some episodes." Compared with ordinary cars, RVs will be more restricted on some sections. For Zhang Zhongning, it has become a commonplace.

Everywhere, accommodation and parking are the biggest problems. "It is difficult to find a hotel to stop the RV. You still have to go to the market or night market that can be participated in the car. This series of issues really have no imagination." Although it starts with a career, this one is There is no considerable sales on the road. "It is still necessary to rely on the physical stores and offline wholesale in Guangzhou, and only rely on the stalls to not bear the cost of travel at all." Zhang Zhongning bluntly said.

Come to Shandong to find a sense of belonging

In April 2022, Zhang Zhongning and his "highway clothing" came to Shandong. Starting from Zaozhuang, he walked through Jining, Linyi, Rizhao, Qingdao, Weihai, Yantai, Weifang, Dongying, Zibo, and finally arrived in Jinan. Everywhere, Zhang Zhongning watched while watching and recorded the scenery along the way. He said that the Qingdao Brewery Museum, Sea Bath, Zaozhuang Railway Guerrilla Scenic Area, Weihai Huan Cui Building, Weifang Kite Museum, Rizhao Golden Beach, Ocean Sand sculpture park, Daming Lake ... It is not only beautiful, but also a unique humanistic and historical story. Of course, delicious food cannot be missed. "

When traveling around China, Zhang Zhongning originally planned to stay for 4 to 7 days in each city. I did not expect to break the record in Shandong. After staying in Qingdao for a month, in addition to blowing the sea breeze, he also enjoyed drinking beer and eating barbecue clams. The grounded life; two weeks staying in Jinan, he walked into Daming Lake, looking for the story of Xia Yuhe, tasted the sweet spring water in Heihu Spring, and found the taste of the old Jinan in the old streets and lanes.

The payment experience when parking in Linyi gave Zhang Zhongning a new understanding of the friendship of Shandong people. "At that time, I was waiting in line to pay the fee and charged the little brother to collect another car. When he came over, he said to me. 'Sorry, brother, let you wait for a long time.' At that time, I was stunned, because I stopped paying other places and had not encountered such treatment. I made me feel polite and friendly in Shandong. "Zhang Zhongning said.

When he came to Shandong, Zhang Zhongning was also looking for a sense of belonging. "My ancestral home is Shandong, Grandpa is from Jining, and grandma is from Qingdao." Zhang Zhongning said that this time I went to Jining, I just wanted to see the appearance of my hometown. Zhang Zhongning, born in Taiwan, China, went to the United States at the age of 12, but he has always received traditional Chinese culture education. He has to speak Chinese and use chopsticks correctly at home.

"La Yi", "Harbin Beer", "Teacher" ... After staying in Shandong for more than 3 months, Zhang Zhongning also learned a few short Shandong dialects. He said that there will be a chance to come to Shandong again next year, and again again Qingdao and Weihai, then climbed Mount Tai to see a complete sunrise.

New goal

From Guangzhou, it has been nearly a year. Talking about this journey, Zhang Zhongning said that when you travel on the road for a long time, there will be some sense of loneliness. "Sometimes I think home and want to give up." In order to overcome this sense of loneliness, Zhang Zhongning likes everywhere, Zhang Zhongning likes it Interchange with others. In his opinion, the scenery is everywhere, but it is rare to find friends who can talk and group. Fortunately, he made a lot of new friends on this way.

"Who can there be no pressure?" Zhang Zhongning admitted that he often thought what to do if he couldn't earn money. After all, he still had to return to life in the end. This trip also made him discover that he was too used to a comfortable and fixed life before, and the problems that appeared during the trip brought him may use more courage to face the future life.

In the next journey, Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan is the destination. Zhang Zhongning set a goal for himself, completed the dream of traveling around China before the middle of next year, and then made his career ...
