On February 20 this year, he led his little white horse and started from Spain to return to China all the way. Today, he has passed France and Belgium, and is now in the Netherlands, and the heated discussion caused by him has gradually reached the climax. Many netizens are surprised to his thoughts and feel more emotional. It's still Tang Seng. "

For the popularity, Xu Zhixian has a normal heart: "The big guy just followed for a while, and the heat will dissipate after a while. What I get. "

There is no special meaning to choose to return to China to return to China

Xu Zhixian is 32 years old, from Heze, Shandong. In 2009, he went to study in Europe. After graduating from graduate graduate in 2017, he provided international students in consultation and counseling in Italy. Many people speculate that he may have made a wonderful imagination because of the epidemic situation that difficulties at home and abroad, and put aside modern transportation such as airplanes and choose to return to China to return to China. Xu Zhixian denied this statement: "I will fly back every year. I return to China to return to China, either out of the kind of return to China, or to see what the world looks like."

At the end of November last year, after the idea of ​​returning to the country by horseback, Xu Zhixian turned around in Portugal, Spain and other places, and wanted to find a suitable horse. In Spain, he bought an Arab White Horse "Fredan" and started practicing horses and learning how to communicate with Malaysia.

On February 20 this year, Xu Zhixian set off from Larin, Spain, and officially embarked on a journey. Earlier, according to the Spanish local media "La Voz de Galicia" (Voice of Galicia), his goal was to "re -connect with nature and the whole world, make friends along the way and understand other cultures." However, in our interview, Xu Zhixian has always emphasized that there is no purpose in this trip. There is no special meaning to choose a way to ride a horse. Don't think that this is an imaginative or wrong -minded idea, but feels like a person who follows the rules. "I am also walking step by step, but the way to walk is different."

In Xu Zhixian's plan, he departed from Spain and traveled east. The destination was the eastern coast of China. After walking for more than half a year, he has passed France and Belgium. Now in the Netherlands, it is planned to follow the Rhine, through Germany, Switzerland, Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary and other places, to Turkey and Iran in the Middle East. Entry from Xinjiang. According to the current progress, he is expected to go to the Chinese border for one year and half a year to the East China Sea, but he is not in a hurry, "I want to see the local customs on the continent of Asia and Europe."

Xu Zhixian plans to walk 30 kilometers a day and be on the road 12 hours a day. Some netizens are worried that if you go like this every day, can the horse carry it? Xu Zhixian explained that on the one hand, what he carried was very light, only the essentials such as inflatable mattresses, sleeping bags, tents, toothpastes, toothbrushes, and a little electronic product; on the other hand, "Horse is a very endurance animal, I am It is not always riding a horse, sometimes I have to hold it, it is more comfortable than me. "

Another concern of netizens is how he solves the visa and border quarantine issues of each country in an environment where the epidemic rays. To now, Xu Zhixian said that he was not very worried in this regard. "Now the local policies are different. When you come, you don't know what changes have happened.

The economy is not a problem. Xu Zhixian mentioned that when he worked for so many years, he also had a little savings, and the cost of cycling was borne by himself. He usually walks out of the suburbs, walks while walking, and sleeps in the local park, racecourse or horses at night. The main expenditure is to buy bread ham that does not need to be heated. If you change a place, you can buy a phone card that can be used. Just change the palm of the horse. At present, it costs about 500 euros per month, and occasionally spent one -May 28th, after COGNAC, in this small town in Bailan, Xu Zhixian spent 30 euros to buy one in the supermarket in the supermarket. The bottle wine "meant".

Occasionally out of control variables from Sui Sui

Xu Zhixian has been on the road for more than half a year. His actions have attracted more and more people to watch. Foreign media pay attention to him and follow up from time to time to do some reports. For domestic people, riding a horse is still a new thing. On the domestic social platform, people care about him: "Where are you going? Seeing that you have never sent a video, you think you have lost it."

Xu Zhixian introduced that in foreign countries, horses are common, and riding on horseback is also common. The white horse "Freon" is 8 years old and is young and middle -aged. It often appears in Xu Zhixian's travel video. Big eyes fluttering, pink nose, pace, and love, it has another name "spike". Xu Zhixian explained: "Because it likes to eat everything with spikes, it will be endless, so it can't pull it, so call it spikes." Most of the time, Xu Zhixian walked while walking, but sometimes he was in the middle of the night. When you rush to the racecourse that can rest, he will also determine how many kilometers must be taken today. The plan is planned. The reality occasionally is unpredictable. The biggest variable comes from Sui Sui-

During the telephone communication with reporters, Xu Zhixian needs to interrupt the chat from time to time. Follow the past. "

There is a tradition in Spain. The Warriors dare to ride the unsatisfactory horse, and the ear is a male horse. It often can't resist "temptation" and chase his hoof towards "ladylike ladies". In April, in the Navara area of ​​Spain, when crossing a racecourse, Xu Zhixian dismounted to open the fence of the road. After a while, the ears ran away with his mother and horse. Xu Zhixian was too late to pull. He finally lost. The fuel carried by the ear was sprinkled all the way, and the computer broke. Fortunately, with the help of the local police, the ear ears were finally retrieved.

This happened many. In July, in Fengdan Bailu Forest, Sui Ring ran to the racecourse on the side of the forest, and lost his place. Xu Zhixian picked up the bag and put it on the side of the road. When I went back, I found that all luggage was gone. Later, after looking for it for a long time, I found my luggage after the shrub next to it. It is estimated that passers -by worried that the thief was worried and helped to hide the bag.

Along the way, such help make him laugh. On the side of the Lvwa River, Xu Zhixian tied the ears to the bridge to eat grass. There were a few wines and halo. He ran to the river and cut the reins that cut the ear to him to follow him. For these goodwill, Xu Zhixian will feel in his heart, "Whether it is the police or the locals, they are willing to help me."

Although Suo Sui is often unsuitable, Xu Zhi has a few words of words in his words, but it is not difficult to see that he has a little indulgration to this playful little white horse. The ears often appear in his circle of friends: " After a night in the horse circle, I went to sleep in front of the roadside church after walking in the morning. "" The small spikes are playing with old tricks again. Sleep for a while, don't let the turtle take time to stay without letting go to sleep. "

After walking for more than half a year, there were only one person and one horse on the road. Xu Zhixian did not feel lonely. On the other side of the phone, he was eager to try to run towards the mother and horse. Pay attention to these things, how are you lonely? "He said.

Compared with the photos and current photos of Xu Zhixian, you can clearly see that there are a lot of "vicissitudes" on the face. Sometimes, Xu Zhixian will also rest for a few days in one place. It is not to play more for a while, but to sleep in the tent. In China, take the horse's lonely forward, and you can buy the water in the mountain road of thirty miles; in the mountains that are unmanned, bush, and weeds everywhere, you will move forward. It is said that "the soles of the two months are grinding into a paper, and the era of a pair of shoes is over for a year."

Xu Zhixian has the straightforward and hearty of Shandong people, and does not look at the hardships: "Old girl, you see how bitter the Red Army Long March is, what I am." In the face of difficulties, even a little humorous. He walked in the rain, wet, and did not forget to ridicule: "The heart is quiet and natural, we can wear it without doing it, and gamble on him while walking." In facing the river, he will also send out "the deceased is like a husband, no day and night" The emotion; but when the words turned, I joked again: "Thirty -four degrees Celsius (the sky), and the death is passed away." When I crossed the Billy Mount Mountain, it coincided with the rain and muddy road, and sighed: "The road is blocked and the road is blocked and the road is blocked and the road is blocked and the road is blocked. Long, every step is long. "

Xu Zhixian and Yangcheng Evening News mentioned that the most disappeared on the knee along the way. After a long time, it was so painful that when he walked to the Netherlands, he had only four fingers left in both hands and did not hang the color. After two anti -inflammatory drugs, I thought of "half a month's wine is gone."

In our exchange, Xu Zhixian rarely mentioned the way: "I don't like to think about it, people want to look forward, and I look back at what it means." I never thought about what to do with the wind, I only knew all the way to continue.

Although bitter on the road, it is also fun. Xu Zhixian passes through all places along the way to enjoy the beauty, and he will also go to the famous local architecture to take pictures and punch cards, and entertain all the way. On the outskirts of France, he was lying under the tree and resting: "The stars and Yueyue are actually very comfortable, there are fewer cars on the road, quiet, one night (walking) more than 30 kilometers. Wind, worry -free, heaven is like this. "Such a leisurely moment, the netizens are envious:" Tang Seng may not be free. "

At present, Xu Zhixian is still in the Netherlands. On September 6, he posted a post on a social platform and mentioned that Sui Sui had a little bit: "Veterinary doctors said (spikes) hind leg muscle injury and need to rest.The suspension. "This situation makes Xu Zhixian a little bit, but it does not mean that you give up, when will you set off by" veterinarian ".Perhaps it is because the eastward travel is not so strong, so when the uncontrollable factors occur, Xu Zhixian can accept it frankly.When the heat fades, the discussion about him may dissipate, but some people are still paying attention to him: "This is a very meaningful trip." They look forward to seeing Xu Zhixian continue to set off, share all the way, live in every step in every step,In the heart of the onlookers, there may be the same pride as him: Malian Eurasia, or other distant places.
