A couple in their 60s has travelled 12，000 miles across 16 countries from Britain to China — riding their bikes the entire way.Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to "do something a bit different"．They travelled across cities，deserts，mountains and everything in between across Europe，the Middle East and the East Asia.The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find shelter.
Peter，66，said the moment when they finally had a look at the famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling almost 30 miles a day was "really exciting"．At the end of their journey，the special pair didn't fly home but instead chose to book a cabin inside a 400 mlong container ship.The final part was a threeweek voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.
"You never know what the day is going to bring.All you know is that you are going to get on your bike and cycle.Every day is an adventure and every day is new.Overall，the experience is absolutely unbelievable，" Peter said.
Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in January 2017 but were forced home.They had cycled all the way to Hungary when Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg.After several months of recovery，the couple set out again in Britain.They finally arrived in China in November 2018.
Both Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire trip was coming across the kind strangers along the way，many of whom invited the couple for food and drink.Chris，64，said，"It was a wonderful experience，particularly wonderful because of the amazing people we met along the way."

1．Life comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow，failure and success，hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go Hayward（不歸路） and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care.They teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is shortlived，but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in jye.ai.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one，failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success

Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday，for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown，for it could either be bright or dull.So the only alternative is work hard today，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
