[Concurrent] Gu Yue, a global traveler
My name is Gu Yue, and I was in 1979. I am a travel explorer and have been on the road for more than 20 years.
I spend almost half of my time on the road every year, and I still make such travel programs and travel documentaries.
So far, I have traveled to more than ninety countries and seven continents.
[Explanation] Gu Yue, 41, immigrated to the United States when he was a child, and started his backpacking trip when he went to Italy as an exchange student.
From the first trip alone to the later use of video to record travel experiences, he used the lens to record the customs and customs of all parts of the world, letting people know that the world is so big.

Because many times the things I photographed are part of my experience and part of the stories of the locals. I took a chef and we went to a primitive tribe who was still living in the Stone Age in the rain forest. .
We lived with them for almost two weeks and went hunting and gathering with them, and lived in the kind of tree house they built on the tree.
The world is actually huge, and there are many things worth seeing and experiencing, so after watching my documentary, many people realize that there is such a possibility.
[Explanation] In 2010, Gu Yue’s travel documentary "Hitchhiking to Berlin" became popular on the Internet. He and his friends only relied on the help of strangers all the way to hitchhike. After more than 16,000 kilometers, they traveled through 13 countries and finally arrived in Berlin. Started people's yearning for road tourism.
In 2012, he completed the "without a penny" trip and traveled to 9 provinces in China in 51 days without a penny, sparking people's thinking about money.
Gu Yue said that every trip is a brand new challenge.

At that time, I also felt that this society revolves around too much money, and all the relations between things are based on money, so I want to break this and see what life is like.
Wherever you go, you need a waiter in a small restaurant to talk to them and help you do a day's work. You feed me something to eat, and the shop is closed and you can make a floor in your shop.
Guizhou helped them build high-voltage towers and gave us 50 yuan.
In the end, we will be in Daliang Mountain, where we teach.
So many people help me along the way
I just want to help some others, so I still support three children, including one of them, at that time (still young), and now they all go to college.
[Explanation] Always on the road, never stopped moving forward, is the true portrayal of Gu Yue over the past 20 years.
Hiking, driving, riding a motorcycle, riding a ride... In Gu Yue's travels, road trips are his favorite.
In 2018, he drove a domestic car from the southernmost Cape of Good Hope in Africa to the Egyptian Pyramids in the north. It took three and a half months to travel across Africa. During that journey, he felt the charm of Chinese infrastructure.

Two or three years ago, four or five years ago, the Raiders said that this road is very bad, you have to take two days to drive over, we took a day to arrive quickly, the road is very good, the road conditions are very good, it is our Chinese repair of.
