Ever since I was a young kid, I've been a die-hard Liverpool FC fan. The dream of witnessing a thrilling match at Anfield and catching a glimpse of the players in front of the Melwood training center had always lingered in my mind.
After graduating from college, the pressures of the real world were looming. My friends were scrambling to secure their dream jobs, investing time and effort to climb the career ladder. Amidst this hustle and bustle, I made a daring decision: I was going to turn my dream into reality.
I hopped on my trusty bicycle and embarked on an epic journey to Liverpool. It took me 235 days to finally arrive at Anfield. From the heart of China through the vast landscapes of Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, the Netherlands, and, at last, England.
I braved the scorching heat of the Gobi Desert, the desolation of Siberia, and even cycled through the European winter. A staggering 17,190 kilometers later, I had reached my dream destination, only to watch the home match in a humble Liverpool pub.
While I may not have achieved the dual goal of seeing a game at Anfield and boosting my career, I've never regretted my decision. This journey fulfilled a lifelong desire and taught me lessons that no classroom ever could. This book brings you along for the ride, recounting the real-life adventures and experiences that shaped this unforgettable journey.
