The Longest Way
这个视频，《最遥远的路》。
徒步从
北京到柏林。我都看傻了
Christoph Rehage，慕尼黑大学汉学系到北大的交换生。
4646公里、369天，
德国人Christoph Rehage用5分钟演绎了徒步穿越北京到
乌鲁木齐的精彩路程。
德国人Christoph Rehage从2007.11.09到2008.11.13完成了徒步穿越中国的壮举，全程 4646 公里。旅程中，他不断以自拍的形式记录下点点滴滴。旅程结束后他将所有的照片以停格
摄影的方式串接成这部影片，影片以中文歌曲橄榄树作为开场以及结尾。很棒！

《The Longest Way》讲述的是从北京步行到德国的纯爷们Christoph Rehage本打算从北京走到德国，完成一次铁木真式的欧亚大陆顺流。可惜走了一年，4000公里到达乌鲁木齐就停止了。可能观众看到的更多是他徒步走天下的“壮举”，而他在旅程中获得的体验却鲜有人关心。但Christoph Rehage却是一个聪明人，视频不只是对自己旅行过程的展示，更设下悬疑，发人深思。视频的开头他说：“在翻越千山万水和穿越热的要死的大沙漠之后，我终于发觉……我的胡子实在太长了……但我却正在失去一些东西。”
视频的结尾是Christoph Rehage出发前的照片，他无比幽怨地问：这个人是谁？他真的是我吗？真是让人糊涂，你失去的是什么呢？这个人为什么不是你呢？他自己说，出发前足足做了一年准备，本来是想一直走回德国，却在行走4500公里穿越大戈壁后选择放弃。已经走了这么长的距离，为什么让你停下来了呢？
视频最后他还向一位中国的徒步旅行者致敬——谢建光，从1983年开始徒步走遍中国的宁波农民。他们结伴而行了很长一段时间。但与谢建光不同，这位德国小伙这么走一遭是为了体验生活，而谢的徒步流浪俨然已经成为他的生活方式，是他生存于世的途径。流浪不再是额外的“消遣”，而是深深植入其生命的行为。他说他还要再走14年，到时候他可就60多岁了啊……
人生的前20年就像普通人一般过了，之后则勇敢地过这种独一无二的生活，认识天南海北的人，体验常人无法拥有的体验。人们说他是自私的，因为他没有尽赡养老人的义务，也没有为社会创造财富，只是不停地走啊走。怎么看这个问题，就有牵涉到人生的意义……为了避免再次陷入怀疑人生的困境，我们就还是不要在这上面折腾下去了。
网上找到的这个视频的相关资料，有兴趣的可以看看。中间解释了他为什么会有坐飞机的场景。里面有他的个人博客链接。

Additional info:
- I never finished my original goal of walking to Germany. Instead, I walked for a year and roughly 4500km, passed the desert of Gobi, and then decided to stop walking for now.
- All of the distance from Beijing to Ürümqi has been completed solely on foot, straight good old walking. There are instances where you can see me in the video sitting on a plane or riding a boat, but those are during breaks I had to take from walking, either to sort out bureaucracy issues or to take care of some personal things.
- I had been planning this trip for over a year before I even started, and getting as far as I got was an experience for which I am very grateful.
- Obtaining the necessary visa for a trip like this was not very easy, hence I had to go back to Beijing a few times to resolve some issues.
- The songs I used in the video are 1) Zhu Fengbo - "Olive Tree" and 2) The Kingpins - "L'aventurier" - visit the Kingpins website if you want to know more, they are very cool I think.
- This is not a strict "1 pic a day" video, because I wanted to make it a bit more alive by adding some additional movement. Sometimes during the film you would follow me turn around, or something would happen in the background. I tried to capture these moments to make the video more interesting.
- The core of this project is in fact my website "www.thelongestway.com" where I have posted my extensive travel diary, starting from day 1 (Nov 9th 2007) and describing every single day until the end one year later.
