10 . A little over five months ago, on Nov 15, Abdusamat Keram completed a 280-day hiking journey covering more than 5,000 kilometers on foot. This expedition from Kashgar, Northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, to Beijing.

He used to believe that, being a child from a rural area and born into a farming family, he would not have the privilege to explore the outside world. However, through television and the internet, he observed numerous hikers and adventurers and believed as long as one has dreams and the determination to pursue them, one can definitely go out and explore.

In April 2022, he quit his job and got onto on the Taklimakan Desert trip with his brother, who is 10 years older than him. On Feb 7, 2023, Abdusamat set out on his solo journey. Well, not entirely alone — he was accompanied by his dog, Shunfeng, which means “downwind” in Chinese, and a two-wheeled cart he constructed to carry essential provisions on the road.

“The climate in Xinjiang and Gansu is very different from that in Shaanxi,” Abdusamat explained. “I can handle temperatures reaching 30 ℃ or even 40 ℃ in Xinjiang, but not in Shaanxi, where the humidity and stifling heat can easily overwhelm me.”

But these challenges also made him appreciate regional differences. Hiking from the far west of China to the east — traversing Xinjiang, Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, and finally Beijing — and experiencing winter, summer, and winter again, Abdusamat gained insights into the vastness, greatness, and exceptional beauty of the country. “As I covered the land of China inch by inch with my feet and was met with kindhearted people who offered me help in every place I went, it deeply impressed upon me the unity of our nation,” Abdusamat said. “I also have a firmer belief now — a belief that I can achieve anything as long as I put my mind to it.”

Returning from his journey, Abdusamat is actively promoting Xinjiang on his Douyin account, encouraging people from other parts of the country to visit his hometown, just like how he traveled to theirs.
