  A spirit of adventure, curiosity about different cultures and the desire for a challenge can e found in young people everywhere.More and more students in China are backpacking around the country.

  According to the China Youth Travel Service, Hainan, Dalian, Zhangjiajie and Qingdao were among the most popular sports for young Chinese backpackers last year.Backpacking allows the traveler a greater sense of independence.

  “I can no longer put up with the instructions of a tourist guide,”said Huang Ye, a 19-year-old college student in Beijing.“They are always driving you to places that you do not want to go to and trying to make you buy local souvenirs.”

  Huang likes to travel as a backpacker.She prefers an independent trip that she took with two friends to Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province.There, they chose some scenic spots to visit and avoided the masses of tourists.

  Backpackers see the difficulties of such travel as a challenge.Living on bread and water for days on end, wearing the dame clothes over and over again and carrying a heavy bag on their backs while climbing a mountain are all character-building experiences.

  But perhaps the greatest challenge that a backpacker faces is not a physical one, but mental.They may face loneliness if they travel alone.

  Chen Xuewei, 21, suffered when he took off around China last year.“I felt very lonely at the beginning of my journey.A walkman didn’t make me feel better, but rather heightened the sense fo loneliness I felt.I even called up my friends to tell them that I wanted to give up and go back to Beijing,”he recalled.But he kept going.He started to make friends and appreciate the local customs.He took lots of photos to record his trip and now he is glad he stuck it out.

  Backpackers generally find themselves to be mature after their experiences.“Their travel logs(旅行日志)track their development as people.”“When I feel frustrated, I read my travel log again,”said Tang Weifeng, a postgraduate at Beijing University.“By reading it, I get a sense that I am better off now than I was when I wrote those words by the light of a torch.”

I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling, I wish it were so.  At your age, you ought to be growing from your parents, You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion, It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way fo showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (抓紧)at one another’s hands for reassurance.

They claim they want to dress as they please, but they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music, but somehow they all end up huddled round listening the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus and such a way is that the crowd is doing it . They have come at of their cocoon(蚕茧)into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his ro her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be, And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over, the path is worth following . You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party, You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records, You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with you classmate. Well, go to it , find yourself, be yourself Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you area. That’s the only kind of popularity that readily counts.
