我跟朋友们告别,是在去年8月。得知这个前一年去了甘肃、青海、西藏和意大利的家伙又要上路了,他们各自出招为我打点行程。这一次,我要实现多年来的一个愿望,走过塔克拉玛干。在叶城我开始为穿越沙漠做准备,到处打听沙漠的情况。我知道,每一点信息,都有可能在关键时刻救下我的命——真的深入沙漠后我才知道,其实最大的敌人,是自己。我选择的路线是从和田塔瓦库勒乡出发,沿和田河床由南向北,到阿克苏市为终点。和那些有强大资金做后盾,很多人为一个人服务的探险者不同,那时我身上仅有1000元钱,还不够过去在公司请客户吃顿饭的钱。我也没有那些“家”们临行前的媒体轰炸炒作,谁也不认识我。向有关单位申请穿越和请求适当的帮助时,他们用怀疑的目光打发了我,“走——走”赶要饭的一样请出门外。这些时刻,对自尊是很大的考验,对先前的执著劲儿也是个挑战,那一层浪漫的光晕也在现实困境中褪尽,姐姐甚至要从 I say goodbye to my friends last August.

Unlike those explorers who have strong financial backing and many serve a person, I was only 1,000 yuan at that time, not enough money to invite clients to dinner at the company. I do not have those “home” bombing hype before the media, who do not know me. When they applied for permission to cross-over and request proper help, they sent me with suspicion of eyesight and asked me to go out for dinner. These moments are a great test of self-esteem and a challenge to previous perseverance. The romantic glow of a layer is also fading away in the realities of difficulties. My sister even needs to
