I live in Xizhou in Yunnan Province, on the historic Tea Horse Road.I have to admit that when I first heard that Paul Salopek was going to walk the entire globe on his own two feet, I was blown away.I couldn't imagine that there could be such an unusual person in the world.
Last May, I met Paul.He told me that it was his first time in China.He talked to me with great excitement about the history, migrations, and discoveries in my region of China.He spoke of the Shu-Yandu Dao (the Southern Silk Road), the travels of the 17th-century Chinese explorer Xu Xiake, the Tea Horse Road and the early 20th-century American botanist Joseph Rock.He also talked of Xuanzang.Paul considered many of them heroes and in a sense Chinese pioneers of slow journalism.
I decided to accompany Paul on his walk toward Yunnan.On September 28, 2021, we set out.Our days were simple: walk, eat, sleep, and repeat.We woke up at sunrise, set off in high spirits, and rested at sunset, dragging ourselves into exhausted sleep.
We met many people on the road.Some were curious, surrounding us and watching us; some gave us directions; some invited us into their homes to take a rest; some spoke of the charm of their hometown.We met many beautiful souls, simple souls and warm souls.We were walking with our minds.
Together, we were impressed by the biodiversity of the Gaoligong Mountains.As I walked on ancient paths through mountains, I seemed to hear the antique voices of past travellers urging me to be careful on the road.
Looking back on the more than 200 miles I walked with Paul, I came to a realization.Walking for its own sake, while healthy and admirable, is only a small part of the benefit of moving with our feet.A deeper reward is rediscovering the world around us, shortening the distance between each other, and sharing each other's cultures.
