Man Looks 20 Years Older After Finishing 2,000 Mile Hike
A Chinese man now looks 20 years older after finishing a 2,000 mile hike. He went through a lot and it shows!
A 2,000 miles hike is not your ordinary stroll. This Chinese man, known as Liqi, had to endure blizzards, animals, and injuries during his crazy journey through the mountains to get to Lhasa. Lhasa is known as a holy city and the center of Tibetan Buddhism. So, it could have special meaning to me and could explain why he was willing to endure everything he went through to get to his destination. At 31-years-old he came out of there looking like he was in his 50s when it was all over! In the end, he made it from his hometown of Hubei, China to Lhasa. You can see some before-and-after pictures of him here.
Chinese Man Completes 2,000 Mile Hike To Lhasa
Pretty crazy to come out looking like that! According to SCMP, he had to scale several high-altitude mountains while pushing a 2-wheeled cart holding his supplies. He also had to go through extreme weather like typhoons, storms, and heavy snow during his journey. SCMP says he was confronted by wild wolves twice on the trip. He also suffered an injury to his leg during the final part of the trip which made things more difficult.
How will he be getting home? It sounds like he won’t be making the trip on foot and will be opting for the train instead. Probably a smart decision. See more photos of him here provided by SCMP.
