This is the story of an ordinary American woman, cheryl strayed, who resolved her pain through hard travel, and found herself after walking the Pacific Roof Trail (4,286 kilometers in total) in 90 days. The movie is very exciting and attractive, but the shock to me is not the shooting skills of the movie itself, etc., but the empathy I feel. Whenever my negative emotions accumulate to a certain level, I choose to go hiking. I remember my first hike, like cherly, I put on my bag and walked away, wearing a pair of shoes that were not very suitable. 14 hours, 65 kilometers, through the city. In the second half of the journey, anger and other negative emotions erupted along with physical pain, and the idea of ​​giving up became stronger and stronger, but after insisting on the past, everything returned to calm. The last thought is to insist on walking the entire distance. Every step in the last 3 kilometers is very difficult and painful, but only by overcoming the pain can we experience the existence of life. It was already eleven o'clock when there was one-fifth of the way left. The hustle and bustle had subsided, with only taxis, lorries, homeless people, drunken men and women, and night-shift workers on the road. After three hours, the streets are empty, like a movie set, and it feels amazing, like Robert from I Am Legend. When I got to the end and saw the sea and the moon on the sea, I thought it was worth it. The loss and disappointment are gone, as cheryl experienced: "My life, like all life, is incredible, irreversible, sacred, very close, very real, very close to me. How crazy, Let him go." Tomorrow will be another day.

  • Cheryl: [voiceover] What if I forgive myself? What if I was sorry? But if I could go back in time, I wouldn't do a single thing differently. What if I wanted to sleep with every single one of those men? What if heroin taught me something? What if all those things I did were the things that got me here? What if I was never redeemed? What if I already was?
