Thirteen years of heroic journey, flickering by
Children have grown up, teenagers have become uncles
When the passion and passion gradually recede
The trace of loss and disappointment
often followed by
But you and I both know: there’s still love waiting to return
In June 2016, it was the first time I walked into the Tengger Desert
In October 2016, it was my first time to participate in the Alxa Heroes Meeting
I think everyone who has participated in this will understand the excitement and anticipation
That year, I witnessed the miracle that nearly a million people participated in the Heroes Association
Later in 2017 and 2018
I have seen the glory and haste of its rapid development
I also experienced the hesitation brought about by groping for changes
But if you really ask me, how do I feel now
A few words or a thousand words, I can’t tell
I have never walked past the old e people
Walking the long road of ten years in the history of the Heroes
i have never felt
Ongniud’s initial throbbing and dreams
i have never seen
Three years of bustling traffic in Kubuqin
i have never experienced
The excitement of transitioning from the desert to the mud in the Chongli River Valley
i have never witnessed
The glory of initially building a desert city in Alxa
I have never experienced
The permanent location in Alxa is grand and full of mixed feelings
I have never reached the splendor and glory of the tenth anniversary journey
But even if I haven’t been through those ten years, I still know
the past has long been
The most important memory in the life of the person who experienced it
Some people say that today’s heroes will change
However, if it really stopped ten years ago
Will it still be your grand pride?
The wind and rain are bumpy, and it is not easy to move forward
Heroes will continue to experience exploration and change
But what remains unchanged is that it has always belonged to the off-road people’s hero meeting
It’s still a bloody story going on
What is Hero Club? Once, I don’t understand
I just thought it was a splendid, grand and lively carnival
What is Hero Club? Now, I still don’t understand
But I know it’s born to carry
It is the dream and feeling of early Chinese off-road enthusiasts
It is the memory and expectation of the new generation of Chinese car enthusiasts
Heroes will be a utopia for thousands of idealists
“I have seen a lot of the beauty of the extreme land
Challenged many difficult deserts
I have drunk wine from many places
But only loved one city deeply,
That city, in the Tengger Desert of Alxa”
Why?
“Because the wine there is strong enough, and the friends there are real enough”
2019 Alashan Heroes Meeting
Your old friend, still full of blood and love
Thousands of miles, rushing to a covenant in the sand sea
Just because I’m waiting for you to come back
So, get ready to go!
