毕业来一场说走就走的旅行，是不少大学生的选择。但在没有什么骑行经验的情况下，选择骑行2000多公里到拉萨，你见过吗？6月25日晚上10时，23岁的杨志骑着自己的自行车路过布达拉宫时，终于忍不住喊出：“17岁的梦想在我大学毕业这一年，终于照进了现实！22天的坚持与努力，终于得到了回报！”
For many college graduates, embarking on a spontaneous trip upon graduation is top choice. Yet, imagine taking on a 2000-kilometer bikepacking trip to Lhasa as someone with minimal cycling experience? At 10 p.m. on June 25, 23-year-old Yang Zhi couldn’t contain his joy as he cycled past the Potala Palace, screaming: “The dream I had at 17 has finally become reality in the year of my college graduation! Twenty-two days of persistence and effort has finally paid off!”
高中就梦想骑行川藏线
Dreamed of Cycling the Sichuan-Tibet Line Since High School
杨志是湖北大学新闻学院应届本科毕业生，来自湖北竹山县，平时热爱运动，经常和小伙伴一起健身、打篮球、踢足球，但对自行车运动比较陌生。今年5月，杨志在省考上岸竹溪县公安局后，“骑行川藏线”这个高中就有的念头又开始在他脑海里回荡。
Yang Zhi is a graduate of the School of Journalism at Hubei University, hailing from Zhushan County, Hubei Province. Being a fitness enthusiastwho often works out, plays basketball, and soccer with friends, he was relatively new to cycling. This May, after sitting the provincial civil service exam to serve in the Zhuxi County Public Security Bureau, his long-standing dream since high school of "cycling the Sichuan-Tibet Route" began to resurface.
5月20日，向一位热爱自行车运动的朋友请教后，杨志在网上下单订购了一辆自行车。自行车到货的第一时间，他就拉着朋友去试骑了30公里。“当时腿部肌肉疼得受不了，但我坚持要骑行去拉萨，朋友被我的执着感动了，于是决定跟我一起去。”杨志笑着说。
On May 20, after consulting a friend passionate about cycling, Yang Zhi ordered a bicycle online. As soon as the bike arrived, he invited his friend on a 30-kilometer test ride. “At the time, my leg muscles were so sore, but I was set on biking to Lhasa. My friend was moved by my persistence and decided to join me,” Yang Zhi said with a chuckle.
在确定好路线，做好食物补给、加固车身、配备修车工具等一系列准备工作后，5月31日，两人带着自行车和行李坐高铁到成都。在当地休整两天，6月3日，他们正式从成都出发，向梦想中的拉萨进发。
After mapping their route out and making final preparations—from stocking up on food to reinforcing the bike frames and preparing repair kits—the two took a high-speed train to Chengdu with their bikes and luggage on May 31st. Following a two day-stop in Chengdu, on June 3rd, they officially set offfor Lhasa, their dream destination.
藏族同胞助他闯过难关
Tibetan Compatriots: Help When He Most Needed
318国道川藏线被誉为“中国最美景观大道”，一路景色壮丽，有雪山、原始森林、草原、冰川、峡谷以及大江大河。但沿途12座海拔4000米以上的大山，对骑行者尤其是没有经验的人来说，绝对是魔鬼般的考验。
National Highway 318’s Sichuan-Tibet section, dubbed “China’s Most Beautiful Scenic Highway”, boasts magnificent landscapes along the way, including snow-capped mountains, primeval forests, grasslands, glaciers, canyons, and major rivers. However, with 12 towering mountains at an altitude of over 4,000 meters flaking the route, the ride is nothing short of a nighmarefor cyclists, especially those without experience.

22天骑行时间中，杨志大部分时间与朋友结伴而行，也有几天时间是自己独自骑行。由于缺乏时间规划经验，有一天晚上9点多他仍在赶路，而且路况很糟糕，据说路旁甚至还有熊和狼群出没。“当时我心里确实有点害怕，好在离当天终点还有近10公里的时候，一位藏族大哥主动邀请我上车，把我带到了城区。”杨志回忆说。
During the 22-day cycling journey, Yang Zhi primarily cycled alongside a friends, though there were days he rode alone. Lacking in experience, he once found himself still on the road past 9 p.m. Further worsening the situation was the poor road condition, and potential sightings of bears and wolf packs nearby. “I was genuinely terrified at that time. Fortunately, through the final 10 kilometer stretch of the day, a Tibetan driver offered me a ride to town,” Yang Zhi recalled.
还有一次，杨志骑行川藏线最高海拔的东达山下来，遭遇严重的高原反应，不得不坐在路边休息。又是藏族同胞给他送来了酥油茶、葡萄糖，他才缓过来。遇到路上车坏了的情况，同样也是他们出手相助。“这里的藏族同胞都很善良，我一路上接受过很多帮助，他们的热情让我感触良多，铭记于心。”杨志说。
Another time, after descending Dongda Mountain—the highest point on the Sichuan-Tibet Route—Yang Zhi experienced severe altitude sickness forcing him to rest by the roadside. It was then that Tibetan locals brought him butter tea and glucose, and he gradually recovered. Later, when his bike broke down mid-ride, locals also stepped in to help. “The Tibetan people are all kind. They’ve given me so much help along the way, and their warmth has touched me deeply. I’ll keep it in my heart forever,” Yang Zhi said.
别样毕业礼受益终身
A Unique Graduation Gift With Lifelong Lessons
22天、2160公里的骑行之旅，困难当然远不止这些，皮肤晒伤、天气恶劣、道阻难行都不在话下。骑行路上，杨志很多次看到沿线的其他骑友坚持不住，选择搭车去目的地，但自己仍坚持骑行爬山，哪怕骑不动，推也要推上去。
The 22-day, 2,160-kilometer cycling fit presented far more difficulties: sunburned skin, harsh weather, and arduous roads were all part of the challenge. Along the way, Yang Zhi saw many fellow riders give up opting to hitch a ride to their destination. However, he still persisted in cycling up the mountains—even resorting to haul his bike uphill when he could not ride.

尽管预料之中和意料之外的困难数不胜数，但沿途的无敌美景、藏族同胞的帮助、骑友们的鼓励、自我心灵的洗涤，都让杨志受益终身：“出发前，自己也遇到了一些不顺心的事。但一路骑行的经历，已彻底治愈了自己。”
Despite the countless expected and unexpected hardships, the unrivaled scenery along the way, help from Tibetan compatriots, camaraderie from fellow cyclists, and mental clarity have all left a lifelong impact on Yang Zhi: “Before setting out, I’d had some personal issues, but this bikepacking trip has completely healed me.”
以前没去过西藏，杨志对西藏的了解还停留在课本和互联网上，只知道那里交通不便、经济并不发达。通过22天的骑行以及自己的亲身经历，杨志深有感触地说：“在无数高山大河面前，无数的建设者用他们的青春甚至生命，才打通了藏区与内地的交通要道，让我对西藏的建设者更加敬佩。”
Having never been to Tibet before, Yang Zhi understanding of the area was informed by textbooks and online media—a region characterized by inconvenient transportation and an underdeveloped economy. Through his 22-day cycling journey and personal experience, he came to a realization: “Nestled within these Ne countless mountains and rivers, is the dedication of countless builders gave their youth and even lives to forging transport links between Tibet and the rest of China. I’m truly inspired by their perseverance.”
6月29日下午，杨志前往湖北省竹溪县公安局报到，正式成为一名见习警察，开始岗前培训。他说，这次旅行教会了自己坚持的意义，在今后的工作中，他会拿出在川藏线上翻过12座海拔4000米以上大山的毅力，不断努力提高本领，做一名合格的人民警察，踏踏实实为老百姓服务。
On the afternoon of June 29, Yang Zhi reported for duty at the Zhuxi County Public Security Bureau in Hubei Province as a probationary police officer and has begun pre-service training. He explained, the trip taught him the value of perseverance, a quality he will carry into his new career. Reflecting on the determination he used to conquer 12 mountains over 4,000 meters high on the Sichuan-Tibet Route, he will now devote that same drive to continuously improve his skills, work to become a qualified police officer who will serve his community and the people.
