LOS ANGELES Wholesale Wisconsin Badgers Jersey , Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- More than two years ago, Zilong Wang biked alone 3,400 miles (5,472 kilometers) from Massachusetts to California for a job in a sustainability consulting company. Now he quit the job and is preparing for a long solo cycling journey again -- this time, toward the East and for advocating ecological civilization.
On the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year which falls on Feb. 8, the 24-year-old man made a wish -- bicycling from San Francisco Bay Area Cheap Alabama Crimson Tide Jersey , heading eastward, via the continental U.S. and Eurasia, back to China.
He called it a "pilgrimage." Through the journey, he wants to explore the ecological and spiritual awakening in the 21st century and the cultural landscape and the political economy of the global village, through the lens of China's interconnectedness with the world.
Wang went to the Hampshire College in Massachusetts in 2009. In an interview with Xinhua, he said that he learned and was inspired by the sustainability thinking while in the college.
He got a job in California right after graduation in the summer of 2013 and soon packed his bike and a small trailer Cheap Auburn Tigers Jersey , heading west under the hot summer sun.
It took him 75 days to get to San Francisco. Mosquitoes, storms, winds, humidity, heat, sit bone pain ... nothing blocked him from reaching his goal. And he successfully got dozens of families allowing him to camp in their backyard during nights -- after knocking at the doors of over 400 strangers' houses.
"I come as a stranger to you; but in the morning Cheap Clemson Tigers Jersey , I leave as your friend," Wang wrote in his blog.
"About one fifth of the families who I knocked their doors did not turn me away. They also allowed me to use their shower and WiFi, and some fed me with hot food," Wang told Xinhua.
"I never locked my bicycle. I left it outside when I went to stores and every time I came back, it was still there, though a homeless 'stole' it after I arrived in San Francisco. But it was returned later."
"My experience proved that there are so many good people in the world Cheap Florida State Seminoles Jersey , and not so many bad guys," Wang smiled.
Wang was born in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in northern China, and the family
