A 3,000-mile walk and an incredible time-lapse video
Student Christoph Rehage documents his fascinating year-long trek across China.
We see a young, clean shaven man being changed by his adventure. There's obvious physical hardship: snow and the blazing sands of the Gobi desert, long, empty highways, and the pain of endless plodding. His hair and beard grow wild. People come and go; places spin behind him. Rehage finds love — and maybe heartbreak, too. With such a whirl of images and Rehage's website currently mute, the narrative is a little mysterious. It's also quite moving.- Spray painting graffiti at Xinjiang
- The routine of waking and preparing to walk for the day
- Riding a steam-powered train
- Victory dances at 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, and 4,000 kilometers
- Finally, there's Rehage's page at Vimeo.

This video makes my insanity seem worth trying just for fun and maybe not always so fun. Really. I was wondering how long it would actually take to walk cross country........and really why not enjoy the trip? great video.
Chris! This is unreal! A friend sent it to me and I could not believe it when i saw it. We met in a little village in close to the flaming mountains and I had just had a bad ordeal and you offered me some kind words and sound advice, your vid is brilliant, i wish you all the look.
Peace
The human spirit is as beautiful as anything we see in nature. Wonderful video. :-)
I think that methane generators are the way for the future; use them to replace sewage treatment plants, collect organic wastes from home (food scraps) reducing landfill buy coursework | buy term paper | buy research paper | .... More
This video is AWESOME! Wish I can walk like you :)
That was just awesome. This should be at Cannes or something. Well done. Amazing journey, excellent story, brilliantly edited.
I envy you. Bravo.
Wow, what an amazing journey! Your face really changed as you traveled. I'm possibly planning on doing something similar one day!
