Tibetan fortune-telling places

You may think of the famous blind traveler in China. Yes, he is Cao Shengkang. He enriched his monotonous black world.

Wearing a pair of sunglasses, holding a blind stick and carrying a backpack, he realized his dream of traveling around the world with countless exploration footprints. The documentary "The Blind Walker" featuring him won the grand prize and was called "the first blind person in China" by the media. He became the first blind traveler and the first blind sailboat windsurfer in China.

In the past five years, he has traveled all over 3/kloc-0 provinces in China, and traveled all over Southeast Asia with 4,000 pieces in 24 days. In the next four years, he clocked in all over the world, covering 35 countries on 6 continents, becoming the first blind man to successfully climb Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa.

In the meantime, someone smiled contemptuously.

"You are blind, you can't even find the door to eat and sleep, and you want to travel around the world."

"You will die abroad sooner or later."

"You are dreaming!"

He deserves that sentence: "The world kissed me with pain, but I returned it with a song."

At the age of 8, a car accident took away Cao Shengkang's eyes. When he woke up, he asked his mother, "Is it still dawn? I am going to be late for school. " But the answer he was waiting for was the cry of his parents. Since then, his world has no dawn. At that moment, he was pushed into the boundless darkness. Leaving school, life is inconvenient, he is discriminated against, and he lacks affection, which makes him feel inferior and miserable.

At that time, the radio became his only friend and teacher. He is often attracted by heroic stories on the radio and thinks, "If I practice martial arts like the hero in the story, will the people in the village dare not bully me?" So, he held back his strength and practiced martial arts with an uncle in the village, determined to be a blind man who could stand on his own feet. Later, he left home many times and went to Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places to work, but he repeatedly hit a wall.

Cao Shengkang once said frankly: "The greatest misfortune of the blind is that he has seen the light, color and smiling faces of people around him." I am convinced that if I hadn't seen the beauty of this world, I wouldn't feel that darkness is such an unbearable thing.

/kloc-at the age of 0/9, my father asked Cao Shengkang to learn erhu, tell others' fortune, and make a living later, but he refused. Later, he heard that blind people can massage themselves, so he secretly ran out of the house to learn massage, but he only learned a little. After returning home, his father scolded him for his high heart and thin life. He might as well learn to tell fortune from the blind. Mother comforted him, advised him to get married before starting a career, and found him a wife in the same village. Later, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter to the Cao family and ran away from home.

After the disillusionment of hope and the blow of his wife's departure, Cao Shengkang knew that he was no longer the teenager who resisted his fate. He decided to really stand on his own two feet.

He overcame many difficulties and went to Guizhou to learn massage from a Miao osteopath. With the help of a masseur, he learned to massage and found a job. He proved his worth through self-reliance. When he earned his first salary, he cried with joy. He proved to his parents and even those who had laughed at him that he was a valuable person and could support himself with both hands. After that, every month, Cao Shengkang will send one or two hundred yuan home and help his brother pay college tuition.

In 2007, Cao Shengkang moved to Beijing to work and opened four massage shops for the blind in Beijing. His income changed from 2,000 yuan a month to 30,000 yuan a month. He also found a healthy girlfriend and his life improved. It just didn't last long. Cao Shengkang heard others say that stock trading can make money, thinking about making more money and buying a house in Beijing. Therefore, Cao Shengkang began to test water stocks, and the result doubled in less than half a year. With the sweetness, Cao Sheng Kangmengtou broke in and began to spend 30,000 to 50,000 yuan on the stock market, even mortgaged the massage parlor. In less than half a year, during the global financial crisis, Cao Shengkang lost hundreds of thousands of blood, his savings vanished in an instant, and his girlfriend broke up with him. Cao Shengkang was so desperate that he drank all day to drown his sorrows. But it was also this year that he embarked on a journey of life.

Sunlight never shines into the darkness automatically. If you throw caution to the wind, try your best to tear a gap in the darkness, and the sun will shine through the gap.

When Cao Shengkang regards death as the ultimate goal of life, the sense of ritual in death becomes something that must be pursued. One of his drinking buddies asked him, "Have you chosen a place to die?" I said to him half-jokingly, "Do you want to die in a valley where flowers are in full bloom, or do you want to be turned out of the garbage with a frightened face?" Do you want to die in the sun or in the gutter? Very different. Lhasa is a pure land and beautiful. Anyway, you have nothing now, and there is nothing to do every day except lead a drunken life. Why not visit Lhasa? "

So he set off with only a little money and simple luggage.

During the trip, Cao Shengkang made friends with his own massage skills, saving a lot of travel expenses.

When Cao Shengkang climbed the highest step of Potala Palace, people present gave him respectful applause. In the applause, Cao Shengkang discovered the new meaning of life, and he suddenly understood that everything could be done all over again. At that moment, he felt alive again, full of vitality.

In Potala Palace, he made a pious wish: "Although I can't see the world, I want the world to see me."

Perhaps, Cao Shengkang is like Pu Shu's lyrics: "I want to die before I die."

Since then, Cao Shengkang has been working and traveling. For Cao Shengkang, every trip is an "adventure trip". He was unreasonably deducted from his salary, blackmailed for hush money, met robbers, lost his mobile phone and luggage ... Cao Shengkang survived all the twists and turns he encountered. Because travel is more about happiness than frustration, different countries, different people, different cultures and different voices fascinate him.

In five years, he traveled all over the world in 35 cities on 6 continents with a blind stick and a few words of English. He was called "Contemporary Xu Xiake", and his story was made into a documentary "The Blind Walker", which premiered at the closing ceremony of Shanghai International Film Festival. On that day, more than 200 spectators came to the screening site, most of whom were on crutches.

His experience was reported by CCTV and Xinhua News Agency. Cao Shengkang said: "I want more blind people like me to dare to go out and see the world. I also hope that more people will never give up after hearing my story. " In the future, he will still work hard for his dream, and he has another goal-to climb the top of Mount Everest.

Cao Shengkang's new book, Don't be reasonable with the world, truly records his extraordinary life and what he saw and heard when he traveled around the world. In the preface, Dr. Fan Deng, the founder of Fan Deng Reading, suggested that the power of action and progress is always stronger than complaining.

Cao Shengkang tells us in his book that the blind can conquer the world. The evil of the body is not terrible, but the evil of the mind. Tell yourself to do it, act when you think about it, and die. The result will not be bad. What really dominates our destiny is not heaven or chance, but our attitude towards life. Cao Shengkang lived a blind life with many scars.

"Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses". Every kind of life has its own way of living. But being born a man, it is better to walk at night with lanterns than to complain about being in the dark. Instead of complaining about others with the courage to explore, it is better to break through the limitations of life and live high wants himself. What exactly should I do? The answer lies in Cao Shengkang's new book "Not Reasoning with the World".

In the book, Cao Shengkang said frankly: "What is the future like? How long can I live? Which stop will be the end of my life? I don't know and I don't want to know. Just give me a pair of sunglasses, a blind stick and a mountaineering bag. No matter what happens, I will go on happily. "

Unfair is the normal state of life. We don't have to envy others, the choice is always in our own hands.
