travel for the sake of travel. In the movie "Motor Diary", the 23-year-old youth faced the question of two communist fugitives. He said so, with a hedonistic sense of shame to explain what they had done since they went on the road in December 1951. In the diary that ignited hormones for generations of young people, he found out the reason for Baudelaire to travel as an adventurer: the real travel is those who go out to go out, they are relaxed and happy like floating Balloons, but they will never deviate from their destinations, and for some reason, they always say, let’s get on the road.
At the beginning of May 2008, the two young people who took a hard-skinned train from south to north endured the constant replacement of subway buses for several days and night tours in cold winds. Later, we easily pronounced the sentence on the way back. The failure of the trip. What I remember are two pale faces under the thorny sunlight and our tired and stiff heads facing the thorny Kyoto scenery in front of us. The meaning of travel is brought to our eyes again at this time, and even what we are doing is in another place with a fee that I don’t know when we can repay it. These behaviors seem to be too idealistic, and we ourselves begin to doubt whether we should laugh at them. In order to comfort myself, I re-read "Motor Diary". When the Norton 500 Mercedes-Benz was in the open field, all the dying minds suddenly became open and excited again. Just looking at this piece of fresh beauty is enough to convince yourself to re-sensitize. I remember the summer vacation from Dali to Lijiang on a bicycle trip a year ago. We were drunk with the scenery that jumped out of all the exquisite travel photos.
About Guevara. How much is deified, I can easily grab a book like this, which uses rows of exquisite sentences to demonstrate idealism, romantic revolutionaries, and melancholic knights. It seems that the birthplace of these words comes from here. Then, groups of young people, including me, began to carry their bags, all dirty and tired and proud of it. Later, I sent a text message to five hundred classmates, why can't we go on the road like this two guys 50 years ago? What life teaches us is always cunning. How to use the most comfortable way to complete a life. The courage is naturally gone, and in the end only loss is left.

So, how does a trip affect this romantic, and become a bold revolutionary fighter?
In an interview with the BBC in his later years, Granado, who was traveling with Guevara, mentioned his integrity and his ability to turn negative things into positive things. In the film, the camera faces the differences between the two of them many times. Why does he have such a firm strength and always maintain integrity. He told him that the old man’s neck was a tumor and persuaded him to go to the hospital, but he didn’t get food. Even when he was hungry, he insisted on this principle. When he left, he responded that Hugo Pesce, the doctor who treated them kindly, used mediocrity. , Inferior blunt evaluation to tell his views. Just as the doctor responded unexpectedly, we have forgotten the good quality of honesty, and we are always looking for ways to protect ourselves even in perfunctory ways. Guevara is an extreme. He told others that he was considered stubborn or upright in principle. This young man with inherited asthma took asthma medicine with him in school to participate in vigorous sports such as football. Going down to Lengshui Lake to catch a bird that was shot down was still a long journey on the dry and cracked road. He always maintained a stubborn attitude.
The two Communists who evaded the assassination, as well as the big coal mine, saw pale faces just to survive. These truths seem to have gone beyond the happy stories of the beautiful scenery and beauties during the trip, and instead face a heavy fact. It seems that it is his hopeless idealism, indignant over such injustice, and trying to change it with his own blood. In this era of the 21st century, we, who have grown up, probably have no such idea of salvation. These too big words are ridiculed as unrealistic. Everyone is accustomed to living seriously, and occasionally looking back at the old bones that still existed in the 1980s, and seeing their pledges, it feels quite terrifying.
At the end of the movie, I can’t forget to thoroughly purify it. On my 24th birthday, facing a river that is more than one kilometer away, from the doctors here to the leprosy villagers over there, he said that only tonight is his birthday. ——He wants to celebrate his birthday with the person across the river.
During the two months that Che Guevara stayed with people with leprosy, it seemed that he had been able to see the temperament of his leadership. He would easily tell his story to the desperate female patient from the beginning, and everything would naturally blend into this group of people. The main thing is that they are treated as animals, not as people. The contemplative young man at the Mayan cultural site faced his companion Granado's vision: Without weapons, how to resist? How to resist all existing injustices and the South American land that was originally a territory.
As for those Chevala T-shirts, color biographies, and beautiful images, we keep copying Chevala to comfort the courage that this era has lacked, and even naturally question the authenticity of a period of travel in 1952 and all subsequent events. Great, and then continue to seriously worry about the banknotes in the pocket.
