NEW DREAM
Such a journey requires money. Many people thought they were born into wealth. In fact, they were childhood sweethearts, growing up in families of oil workers in Beijing. They started as salespeople before making their fortune in their own business.
As it grew, they spent their money on houses and cars, as well as shopping feverishly as most cash-rich Chinese do abroad. Zhang says he used to indulge himself and his dream was simple: to earn more money.
The dream changed in May 2008 when a massive 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck Wenchuan, southwest China's Sichuan Province, killing more than 80,000 people.
As a rescue volunteer, Zhang saw many family tragedies. He realized that life is fragile and he had wasted too much time.
"I hope the rest of my life can be meaningful. I want to follow my heart and try something else," said Zhang. Accompanied by Liang, he set out to explore the world.
