Moment of Zen:
Imagine if this were your walk to school
To be fair, these students from Pili Village in Xinjiang Province in Northwestern China only walk to school and back once a year (they board at the school), but man, what a walk. Nearly 125 miles away, without clean drinking water to be collected along the way, their route crosses four freezing cold rivers, a 650' chain bridge and four single-plank bridges made of just two pieces of wood. To avoid having to cross the turbulent Yarkand River, they must go around to bypass numerous mountain cliffs, gravel and rapids. The threat of falling rocks is ever-present, and beneath the cliff trail which is only a few inches wide can only fit half of a foot, is the steady stream of flood. From dusk till down, it takes two days and a night to complete the journey.
