Lei Diansheng is a famous Chinese explorer and environmental protector. Born in 1963 in a small village near Harbin, he is called “the modern Xu Xiake” for their similar experiences. Before starting his trip, he spent 10 years preparing. He did daily long runs to build up his strength and read many books on wilderness survival to learn how to deal with dangers.
From 1998 to 2008, Lei spent 10 years walking through every part of China. He travelled about 81,000 kilometres—almost twice around the equator! During the trip, he wore out 52 pairs of shoes and lost 19 toenails. Once, he even had to eat snake meat to stay alive in the Shennongjia Forest. He faced many dangers, like mudslides (泥石流) and wolf attacks. In 2008, he made history by walking alone through Lop Nur(罗布泊), a dry, dangerous place. He walked 1,100 kilometres in 31 days and became the first person to do that alone.
Lei didn’t just walk for fun. He visited all 56 ethnic groups(民族) in China, took 40,000 photos, and wrote 3.2 million words in his notes. These notes became a “living record” of Chinese culture and nature. He also helped others during his trip—he gave money to poor students. He once took part in flood rescue(抗洪) work in Hunan Province.
Now, Lei still works for nature and education. He leads teams to study the environment, like protecting the source of the Yangtze River. Last year, he took a group of scientists to collect water samples there. For students, he often organises hiking camps in Heilongjiang’s forests, where kids learn to identify wild plants and understand local cultures.
Lei’s story tells us: True adventure is not just about walking far. It’s about loving our land and protecting it.
