In the film, the question of why you are on the road is asked many times, which is also true on the road everyone will be asked. A father who fulfills his son's wishes, a woman who escapes reality, a fat man who loses weight, and a writer who seeks inspiration. In the end, they found out that the original purpose is not important, but what is important is what they discovered during the journey. In the end, they found out that they still have to face the reality. You can't quit drugs because your problem is not in the detox itself; you can't lose weight, You just like to eat, but in the end you still think it's better to change into a new suit. Travel itself won't change you, it's the way you look at yourself that changes.
No question, no answer.
"I have seen my life and death!" This is what the little braided man from the law school said. He rode his bike to Tibet. According to him, there was a disaster and everyone with him died, but he was the only one who survived. Indeed, you have seen it in life and death, but what is there to show off?
Travel is becoming more and more touted, just look at books with various titles, and in this era when everyone has a story, everyone can publish a book. Some stupefied young people are going to go to various places where they are "fantastic" and enter Tibet as soon as they do it. I want to ask you, do you understand Tibetan Buddhism? Did you go to communicate with Tibetans? Besides some souvenirs and photos, what else did you bring?
Before you hit the road, think about why you're on the road, and you'll find out.
