Many people dream of leaving everything behind to set off on an adventure that will take them to distant and exotic lands. But few ever muster the courage to do so. Not so for one young Chinese man who decided to cycle around Europe, equipped with just a bike and a frisbee. Now back in China, he hopes to inspire those like him to start living out their dreams.

This is called a flying disc, known as frisby… It's an very interesting sport as you can see players running for a pass, and leaping up in the air… And the most amazing part of the game is that it has no referee. The game totally rely on the sportsmanship of the players maintain fair play. Ten years ago, very few people know this sport in China. But now it is getting popular.

These are the unique paths he took… from mountains to forests, from rugged roads to creeks. He also passed along his love of the flying disc to others. But the journey was often strenuous with a new challenge waiting at every turn.

Xu told us that he didn't even know how to fix a bike before he started his tour. So we gave him this simple task and he proved himself up to the task. Xu set out on his journey armed with his passion for sports and his taste for a challenge but as he finished his trek, he discovered something much deeper.

From a lone traveler, to a role model, Xu Jiangjun carved his own path to prove he could make a difference in his own life. And he's ready to embark on another journey which will begin by taking him across China and which he hopes will influence more young Chinese to live their dreams. We wish him luck.
