There’s a Chinese proverb, which basically goes like this;
“Read 10,000 scrolls; you might as well walk 10,000li.”
The meaning being, you can study and read as many books as you like, but nothing compares to life experiences. I have tried to take this literally, and am aiming to walk 10,000li. This equates to around 3,580 miles in 3 months. I am not sure if I can achieve this feat, but I’m going to give it a bloody damn good try!!! I have a pedometer on me that will count my steps as I go.
A 里(li) is a Chinese measurement for distance.
