In order to save money, he put all his daily necessities on a platform cart and set out pulling it.

He cooks simple dinners with cookwares he brought and sleeps in the cart at night.

He had to hike a minimum number of hours every day in order to reach his destination as early as possible.

"The longest time I hiked in one day was about 18 hours," he said. "I felt really tired after hiking 62 kilometers that day."

"However, I never thought of giving up," he said. "I received lots of help and encouragement from my friends and family members, as well as the fans I received on the live-broadcasting platform, which led me to finish the trip."

"I made lots of new friends during the trip," he said. "They provided me water, food and even temporary residence.”

"Even more valuable than the beautiful scenery along the trip was the warm help I received," he added.
