Reporter Liang Bingjian

9月6号下午，刘家文在QQ空间发了一张照片，配文是“下午两点的天安门”。 In the photo, Tiananmen Square is empty, with a traffic policeman standing in the distance, and a few tourists and parasols in the distance. The sky and the Tiananmen Gate Tower all had a gray texture. In the dynamic comment area, friends expressed their emotions: "Wow, you're in Beijing." That was the first day that Liu Jiawen, a 2020 freshman at the w88 casino, arrived in Beijing. It had been two weeks since she set off from her hometown of Xiangyang, Hubei Province.

Liu Jiawen rode all the way from Xiangyang, Hubei to Beijing. The whole journey was nearly 1,000 kilometers and took 14 days. On the morning of the 11th, when she pushed her bicycle through the parents who were seeing off their children, and walked among the freshmen dragging various suitcases, she seemed like an intruder. Her petite body was disproportionate to the bicycle, and she seemed to be rushing through the crowd every step she took, followed by cameras and microphones - the campus media reporters who were stationed at the freshman registration office immediately interviewed her.

Liu Jiawen never thought that she would attract the attention of the w88 casino media, just as she did not think that riding a 1,000 kilometers and traveling through three provinces to report to Beijing was a special thing. "Cycling is just 60 kilometers a day for 14 days," she said, but the emotional experience during these 14 days cannot be summarized in this sentence.

The first thing is the nostalgia of leaving home, which starts with a bowl of noodles.

8On February 24th, Liu Jiawen traveled north from Xiangyang and passed through Henan one day at the end of the month. At noon, she parked her car outside a noodle shop facing the street. It was her first meal in Henan. Although it is just an ordinary small shop that can be seen everywhere in Henan, Liu Jiawen still has an unforgettable memory of it. Just a province away from home, she suddenly discovered that noodles had changed from breakfast to lunch. "It turns out that people in Henan eat noodles at noon, but my family always eats noodles in the morning," she sighed while recalling what she saw and heard at the time. When the waiter in the store brought her the noodles from Xiangyang, which she had eaten for more than ten years, to the mutton braised noodles from Henan, Liu Jiawen suddenly realized clearly: "This is no longer my hometown."

Compared with this kind of melancholy, the ride is more fun and joyful. She likes provincial and national highways in remote places. Cycling on wide asphalt roads gives her a feeling of breaking free. "There are too many traffic lights in the city, and it seems that her freedom is restricted." And whenever a cart full of goods whizzed past her, she would quickly move to the other side of the road, and she could feel the wind blowing by her ears when she leaned down slightly. "It's like becoming the protagonist in an anime, with special effects of drifting on my body," she said excitedly. "I really feel like I'm a bit handsome."

There are also lambs from Henan. Liu Jiawen once rode fast on an empty road until a lamb ran out of the herd and stood in the middle of the road blocking her way, forcing her to stop. The little sheep moved away slowly, and Liu Jiawen sat in the car and waited for the little sheep to make way for her. That was the closest she had ever been to the little sheep. "It's quite cute," she said, "but why is it so disobedient?"

Talking about the biggest feeling of riding, Liu Jiawen said that she “gets to know China better.” This is a big answer, but her explanation is not unreasonable. For fourteen days, she rode from city to city and from countryside to countryside, walking through the fireworks and dust in the streets. Rather than traveling around, she chose a way that was closer to the local customs and customs to walk the thousand kilometers of China. She was attracted by the differences in the design of traffic lights in different cities. She also met an uncle who spoke with a Hebei accent by chance and laughed at each other... "The infrastructure is also very well built," she added, "better than I thought."

It is undeniable that the nearly 1,000 kilometers of cycling road also has considerable safety risks. Therefore, even though his father accompanied him throughout the journey, Liu Jiawen's cycling plan was initially opposed by his mother and other elders in the family. At that time, it was Liu Jiawen's father who stood behind her and firmly supported her. "Dad always has strange ideas," she said with a smile. "He is an Aquarius, an 'alien' with many wonderful ideas." Perhaps it was because father and daughter would have fantastic ideas popping up in their minds from time to time that they were able to understand each other more deeply and embark on a cycling trip from Xiangyang to Beijing together. "We are a team," Liu Jiawen said of her relationship with her father.

Now sitting in Huiyuan’s classroom thousands of miles away from her hometown, recalling this riding experience, she still misses the wide and flat provincial and national highways she traveled not long ago. Few cars passed by on the long asphalt road. The shadows of tall trees spread on both sides of the road, and there was only silence. “It was a feeling that I could keep riding and no one would stop me,” she said. "Is it the feeling that no one will stop you, or the feeling that no one can stop you?" Facing the reporter's question, Liu Jiawen was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "Both."

It took Liu Jiawen fourteen days to ride from Xiangyang to Beijing. Fourteen days means facing a new scenery, and she has ushered in fourteen new departures.在惠园，她还将要度过许许多多个十四天。 In the brand-new world of the University of International w88, there will be many new things to enrich her life, waiting for her next departure. "I want to try every activity." When talking about her upcoming college life, she said that maybe "cycling" will gradually be separated from her life, but no matter what, she believes that "no one can stop me" will always be with her on the way forward.
