I told you last time that I could hardly remember some of my hobbies (when I was a teenager/ )during my adolescence. Actually, I was a shy boy before. I believed that good study habits will result to earn respect, friendship and easy life. So, during this time, I had only few hobbies such as playing foot ball and watching movies.

Instead of reading books for my studies, I didn't like doing it especially reading unrelated to my subjects. But I really loved playing foot ball because I could run the fastest that others. I could get the ball from others,it made me fell really honored. I could play the whole day, it was really all-out just until I felt exhausted.

I loved watching movies during my high school days. But I just watched Kung Fu and action movies such as Independence Day. It was my favorite movie. I was shocked when I watched that movie the first time. After watching it I always make it as the subject of my talk with my classmates. I boasted to them how many Hollywood stars I could remember.

I regretted why I didn't really have much time having my hobbies during those years. So when I went college, I didn't really have a clear goal with me. .Before I went college, I didn't know what kind of person I really wanna be,and I didn't know what I really like to do.

When I was in college, I was completely disappointed about Chinese Education. There was no even one class that could make me excited. The teachers couldn't even light the way of my life. They just made Power Point presentation files and read it again and again,it was totally boring because it made me sleepy almost all classes. So I almost got absent in all classes after first year of my college days.

I went library to find answers of the confusions I had in mind. I read lots of books during that time,I found out that I could concentrate my attention on questions more easily than hearing them from others. First, I read Carnegie's books. I wanted to be successful and to be popular. I thought there were answers in those books. But I felt sad when I read those books and not gotten the answers. So,I threw away those books and picked up a Japanese novel named Norwegian Wood instead. .It described the feeling of loneliness by words,and that made me know why I was lonely. The protagonist of that book has a long travel/trip after his girl's suicidal acts. During that travel,he has no destinations that he sleeps anywhere he has been caught by tiredness. At the end of that travel, a kind person gives him some food and wine. But the protagonist cheats that guy by telling him his mother was dead. Finally, the protagonist throws up and cries.

So I decided to have a travel like that. Because of it hiking became my hobby. I like solo hiking because I can concentrate on the journey. I can decide everything and can help strangers and make friends.

I like movies very much. After I graduated, I even wanted to become a movie director. But now, that goal doesn't come true yet. But I still like watching them. The Leaving Las Vegas is my favorite movie now.

Now,I am preparing my first mountaineering. Of course, I will do it in solo. I think it will be added in my list of hobbies. Next year,I will climb a mountain about 5000 meters,and after that a mountain over 7000 meters, and finally, I will stand on top of mountain named Muztagh Ata.
