Theme: Edge

This event occurred on

Guangzhou, Guangdong
China

No matter it is day or night,
Always keep the courage to move out of plight,
Even Under contempt,
the Original Aspiration is kept.

It was foggy all the way,
Only faith points the path.
Step into the subversion that has never been involved,
Stride out of the established edge,
Exploring the self beyond the edge,
Edge appears for restrictions,

And where is your edge?
Do you stick to the old rules or knock on the infinite future?

Wa Li

Self-media creators
There isn't a single label that defines me: being a volunteer, creating videos, becoming a blogger, and doing what I love. I go and visit marvelous rivers and mountains, experience a hundred kinds of life, see the world, see all beings, and see myself.
