Never lose the courage to move forward

From the name, I vaguely feel that this is a philosophical film about growing up. The plot of this film is very similar to "A Pilgrimage". The protagonist in the film, Bryson, resolutely set foot on the road with his childhood playmate despite the opposition of his family. The Appalachian Trail, which is more than 3,000 kilometers long, Bryson's wife said to him before leaving: "Come back alive". The difficulty of walking this road is evident, but in any case, Bryson is on the road. .
Perhaps it was his feelings after attending a friend's funeral. Bryson made a decision that others could not imagine. The invitation to his friend was rejected and his wife's strong dissuasion could not make him change his mind. This may be Bryson's courage to move forward. We can be mediocre and obscure, but we must do one or two things in our life that we are proud of, so that we can explain our lives.
I remember a teacher who said: "How old a person is when he retires, he can live as long as he is." Indeed, when a person does not have the courage to move forward, it means that his life is over.
Walking in the forest, I hope that when we are old, we can also have a trip that says to go, instead of lingering on the sickbed.
