The coconut breeze and sea rhyme of poor and lower-middle peasants—D12: Banqiao Town, Dongfang City—Bayi General Store, Danzhou City

The title of today’s diary is: It’s been a hard journey and worth remembering

This is what an old cycling couple from Xuzhou said when I rode for more than 70 kilometers.

The old man is 73 and the old lady is 71. The old couple started riding bicycles in 2003. The old man has ridden in 18 European countries and most cities in China. As of today, the old couple has cycled nearly half of Fujian, Guangdong and Hainan together for 3 months.

The old lady said that the couple loved cycling and traveling, and they also opened a "Cycling Cultural Center" at home to collect and exhibit cycling-related objects given to them by cyclists from all over the world, especially cycling team flags, for enthusiasts. visit. Looking at their signed flags, I took out the Qinghai Duoduo Strikers flag and took a group photo together. The old lady said this flag is so beautiful and comes from such a far away place, so give it to her. I said I would send it to you after I get home from this ride. She also introduced the seat bag (cushion) given to her by the old Red Army, and wrapped it in a plastic bag to prevent it from getting wet. She also said that there were no cycling panniers at that time, so she cut off the calf part of her grandson's pants, sewed them with a piece of cloth and put them on the back shelf to hold some things. It was very good. This touched me, so I took out the team flag that had been put back into my bag and gave it to her. The old lady smiled even brighter and hoped to write the time, name and other content on the flag. I did so and took pictures again. Shake hands, exchange good words, wave, and leave.

Here’s wishing the old couple good luck, health and happiness.
