Chapter 82 postscript

I discussed with the editor in charge of this book that I would spend a page writing down the list of my partners who traveled with me to investigate Europe.I forgot about this incident when I was writing "A Thousand Year Sigh", which is a bit regrettable.These two cross-country trips organized by Hong Kong Phoenix Satellite TV inspected all the cultural relics that have had an overall impact in human history. The participating partners are constantly changing, and I am the only one who completed both trips.Every time when I connect a section of the itinerary in my mind, the first thing I think of is not the scenery along the way, but the faces of groups of fellow travelers.

No matter how others disdain, we know that this is a long-term life adventure, facing the unknown every day, encountering difficulties everywhere, and we have all come down.In that distant wilderness and strange streets, what sustains us is not only the goal, but also the friendship. I want to use this list to illustrate that life depends on how it is combined.Some combinations, even though they are strangers, can make every life get rid of boredom, develop the charm of mountains and rivers shrouded in frost and moon, and dare to work together to put any piece of land in the world under their feet, while others are the opposite.

I accompanied me throughout this European trip: Shao Wenguang, Qiu Zhijun, Liu Lu, Wen Diya, Gao Jinguang, Dong Tao, Li Pu, Allen, Jessica, Doris; some countries and some road sections accompanied me: Liu Changle, Wang Jiyan , Guo Zhicheng, Fan Qingyuan, Zhang Li, Guiping, Xie Ying, Zhou Bing, Duan Min, Zhang Xiaolei, Wang Duoduo, Zhang Huiling, Liu Xingkui, Luo Jinbiao, Wu Yingchun, Jiang Jianguo, Gu Yuqing, Zhang Zhuji, Zheng Yuanyuan, Shi Zongxing, Yao Li, Liu Zhonghua, Liu Jiuli , Li Mei, Zhang Chen, Liu Chun, Tang Yuanhong, Shan Zeng, Li Chen, Zhao Guangming, Wang Daili, Vivan, Alice, Hanna, Eric, Billy, Eva, Sigrun Garthe, Bob Tsang, Linda, Simon, Pik Wan, Dave, Johnane, Tom, Henrick, Coolmoon, Cyrus, Kenny.

In this list, there is not a full-time driver, nor a full-time translator. In retrospect, it is really hard for everyone. Guys, I will miss you forever!
