A man named William Lindsay comes from Britain. When he was in primary school, he loved studying maps of China. He saw a saw-tooth (锯齿形) line in China that caught his eye. He decided to visit the line, that is, the Great Wall of China. Wall became his dream. In 1984, he set off on his Great Wall journey. However, he obviously underestimated the difficulty. Only a few days later, he had to give up because of illness. After returning to Britain, he began to exercise more.
With full preparation, Lindsay set off again in 1987. The hike took him about 160 days. He met trouble when he was found to be walking along the Yulin Great Wall in Shaanxi. “Where is he from? What is he doing here?” the local villagers didn't understand. Then, the police came to investigate (调查). Lindsay explained his love for the Wall but without success. The police didn't allow him to continue his journey. At last, he had to leave.
Nothing could stop a willing heart. A few days later, Lindsay continued his journey from Inner Mongolia (内蒙古). After many difficult days of hiking along the Great Wall, he was finally able to arrive at Shanhaiguan, a major pass at the eastern end of the Wall and the end of his great journey.
Through this trip, Lindsay developed a deeper understanding of the Great Wall. And the British man also has a deeper understanding of the old saying “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.”
