It’s a crazy dream!Riding from Shanghai to London!Starting on March 5, Zheng Sheng spent 136 days travelling eleven countries and finally arrived in London on July 18.
Having studied maps for four months and borrowed（借） some money from friends, he left the company（公司） in Shanghai where he had worked for just a few months.
“I was very confident at the beginning, but after I left China, I felt a little worried that I might meet bad men,” he said. Luckily, the trip was a safe one. Zheng believes that the safest place to sleep is somewhere people don’t know about, so most of the time he slept in forests（森林）. He rode more than 100 km every day, but most of his food was just bread, as the food in Europe was too expensive. Later he learnt to add some cheese to the bread. Zheng didn’t tell his parents about the trip before he left for London, as he didn’t want them to worry. After he arrived home in Yunnan Province at the end of July, he finally told his mum about it.
“I’m very confident for the future,” he said, “because I know very well that everyone can do what they decide to do.”

When I was five years old, I took a boat out on the river and went fishing by myself. I really wanted to catch a fish!But they were not biting.
I stayed in my boat for three days, waiting. A few times, I thought I felt a fish at the end of the line. The first time I pulled in my catch, it was not a fish; it was an old bag. The second time, it was a shoe. Finally, at the end of the third day, I felt a strong pull at the end of the line. The pull was so strong that my boat raced around and around. I needed all my power just to hold onto the fishing rod. I pulled, and I pulled and I caught the biggest fish that ever swam on the earth!It was heavier than everyone in this room put together!Then something terrible happened!
After I pulled the huge fish into my boat, I saw that the boat was going under water!Water was coming into the boat from all sides!I was not a very good swimmer, so I was scared.
Although it was the hardest choice I ever made, I had to let the fish go. I pushed it back over the side of the boat, and we waved good-bye to each other as it swam away.
