Hi steemit! Here is the beginning of Luffy's Great line.

或许你已经注意到我的名字了，来自于漫画《海贼王》，听起来可能有些好笑，但是这是我非常喜欢的漫画，非常喜欢的角色。后面你会知道为什么，先介绍一下我自己。

Perhaps you have noticed my name, it’s from the comic "One Piece”. It may sound some funny, but this is my favorite comic, and I like the character very much. Behind you will know why, and let me introduce myself first.

我来自中国河北省的一个小山村，过着非常普通的生活，在县城上了小学中学，然后到了省会上高中，之后到大城市上大学，工作。在同辈的小伙伴中我是幸运的，走出了城镇，走到了大城市，有更好的工作，更高的收入。而此时儿时的小伙伴都已经结婚生子，甚至第二个孩子都已经出生。

I come from a small village in Hebei Province, China. I lived a very normal life, I go to the primary school in the county, and high school in the provincial capital, and then to Tianjin(a big city) for the university, and worked in Tianjin. I was lucky to get out of the village, and went to a big city, with better work and higher income. At this time my partners of childhood have mostly been married and even the second child has been born.

本来我也马上就要走上结婚生子的生活，这在中国是一种极其正常的生活，而在中国，正常便意味着正确。但是我感到了深深的恐惧，仿佛一眼看到了几十年后的自己，终于还完了房贷，做着差不多的工作，拿着更高的工资，住着不错的房子，开着不错的车子。

Originally, I was about to have a marriage, which is very normal in China, and in China, normal mostly means correct. But at that time I felt a deep fear, as if I can see the life a few decades later. Maybe I would finally finish the mortgage, have a similar job, hold a higher salary, Live in a good house, drive a good car……

在读过一些书，看过一些东西后，我觉得我的自我慢慢的“苏醒”，感觉自己之前都是为别人而活，而后面的时光我要为自己活。慢慢的，我找到了自己的方向，一些小时候经常出现在脑海里的想法慢慢又出现在了我的脑子里，我慢慢明白这就是我的理想。

After reading some books, having more experience, I think my ego slowly "wake up”. I felt I've lived for the others before, and the remain of life I want to live for myself. And I found my own direction, some thought appeared in my childhood slowly appeared in my mind, I understood that this is my ideal.

所以我不想要一成不变的生活，所以我“出轨”了，和我即将走进婚姻殿堂、已经相恋6年多的女友分手了，她是个好女孩，但是我们追求不同，我想要精彩，她想要安全。而后又因为精神状态差，我辞去了工作。

I do not want to have an immutable life, so I “derailed”. I broke up with my girlfriend ,who had fallen in love for more than seven years with me. We meant to get married this year. She is a good girl, but we admire different life, I want wonderful life, and she want to be safe. And then because of my poor mental state, I quit my job.

而在我失恋又失业的这段时间里，我渐渐的想明白了，既然想去做，又害怕什么呢，反正我拥有的也不多，就拼一把，大不了从头再来。

And in my lovelorn and unemployed time, I gradually understood, if I want to do something, I have nothing to fear. Anyway, I don’g have much to lose.

新疆赛里木湖/a lake in Xinjiang

于是我开始在全国各地旅行，这是认识了解这个世界的非常重要的方式。在路上可以看到各种有意思的事情，遇到各种有意思的人。近两年，走过了中国的好几个地方，西藏、青海、云南、新疆、四川，见识到了很多无法言语的美景，也遇到了一些有趣的人。

And I began to travel around the country, which is a very important way to understand the world. On the road you can see many kinds of interesting things, encountered a variety of interesting people. And I came through several places of China, Tibet, Qinghai, Yunnan, Xinjiang, Sichuan. I saw a lot of beauty beyond words, and encountered many interesting people.

同时阅读各种各样的书籍，说来好笑，一次出门我竟然背了五本书，我喜欢实体书握在手里的感觉。一边旅行，一边阅读，一边思考，渐渐的我明白了，朝九晚五的生活只是一种生活方式，还有其他很多的选择值得去尝试。

At the same time I read a variety of books. Once I packed five books with me before starting off which maybe quite funny. I like the feeling with the physical book in my hands. While traveling, reading, and thinking, I understand gradually, normal work is just a way of life, there are many other options worth trying.

于是我开始摸索自己的道路，之前我在朋友的介绍下，进行了一些区块链的投资，也获得了一些收益。一边投资理财，一边投资自己。相信大多数朋友都相信，对自己的投资是最值得的投资。

So I began to explore my own way. I have do some investment on the blockchain with the introduce of my friend, and made some benefits. I invested both in financial management, and in myself. I think most of my you should believe that investment of oneself is the most worthwhile.

我想要改变世界，目前找的的途径是写作。而我觉得一个人最重要的两件事一个是认识世界，一个是认识自己。这是我在旅行和阅读的过程中不断在做的事情。

I want to change the world, the best way I found at present is writing. And I think one of the two most important things is to understand the world, the other is to know myself. This is what I am doing in the process of traveling and reading.

I am very happy to come to the Steemit's world, which is a world of writing and blockchains. I hope to share my traveling experience , my gains of reading with you, and let's exchange our stories.

回到开头，我说很喜欢路飞，是因为我也想做路飞那样的人，我想为了自己的梦想不顾一切，相信我会走上自己的伟大航路，遇到自己的伙伴，然后找到自己的one piece。Steemit的小伙伴们，我们一起前行吧。

Back to the beginning, I said that I like Luffy, because I want to live like Luffy. I want to desperate for my dreams, I believe I will embark on my Great Line, met my partners, and then find my One Piece. Let’s move forward together.
