On April 27th, 2015, this three-wheeled bicycle parked in Phoenix Chinatown instantly attracted a lot of attention. Chen Guanming from China, who has traveled around the world by bicycle, arrived in Phoenix that day.

Phoenix citizens Huang Yicheng and Zhuang Shuhua told reporters that they went to Xinxin Supermarket to buy groceries on Monday and saw this tricycle. Zhuang Shuhua quickly asked her husband to stop the car, saying that she had seen these two and three-wheelers in Hong Kong, and it was Mr. Chen Guanming who came to Phoenix City.

Mr. Huang and his wife said that Mr. Chen was too determined to ride around the world in order to promote environmental protection, and they insisted on providing help to him. But they were all politely declined by Mr. Chen. Chen Guanming said that he was waiting for the local Mr. Song Lei at the Chinese Cultural Center, but it was also his first time to meet Mr. Song Lei.

The reporter contacted Song Lei tonight. Song Lei has been paying attention to Chen Guanming's activities in Arizona. He said that Chen Guanming is now riding on the road from Phoenix to Flagstaff. Expected to arrive tomorrow evening. Song Lei helped Chen Guanming look up the route from Phoenix to Flagstaff, and even made detailed records of which sections were uphill and which were downhill. Whenever Chen Guanming gets lost, he always sends coordinate maps to Song Lei and asks Song Lei to help him find his way. Because he was not very good at using modern tools such as GPS, Chen Guanming took many detours along the way. From Phoenix City, Chen Guanming told Song Lei that his car had blown out two tires. Chen Guanming brought maintenance tools with him and is now driving safely. Song Lei also contacted Chinese restaurants in Flagstaff, hoping that Chen Guanming could eat authentic Chinese food when he arrived at his destination.

When reporters asked Song Lei what his relationship was with Chen Guanming, Song Lei said that he saw the news on the Internet that Chen Guanming was arriving in Phoenix, and felt that he admired his perseverance and hoped to provide him with some help locally. So he contacted Mr. Chen Guanming and invited him to have a meal together in Phoenix City. He also replenished Mr. Chen with the food he needed on the road.

Chen Guanming rode all the way and rested in the car when he got tired. There is no additional charging device for mobile phones, so under normal circumstances, his mobile phone is turned off. Now Arizona Chinese Network is contacting Chen Guanming and trying to bring more detailed reports on Chen Guanming’s riding in Arizona as soon as possible.

Here, the Arizona Chinese Network is also very grateful to local Chinese people like Huang Yicheng, Zhuang Shuhua, and Song Lei for their enthusiastic help to Chen Guanming. It is precisely because of these kind people that Chen Guanming's global journey can go so smoothly.

>Chen Guanming

An ordinary farmer in Erchenji Village, Zhangji Township, Tongshan County, Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province. In order to promote the concept of "peace and environmental protection", he determined to ride a tricycle around the world in 20 years. Since 2001, he has traveled all over China and around the world on a tricycle. He weathered rain or shine, went through hardships, and was determined to promote the Olympic spirit, environmental protection, and care for his homeland along the way. He has become "the first person to ride a tricycle all over China." On July 9, 2012, he arrived in the UK by boat from France. He was over sixty years old

Chen Guanming.

The first person to ride a tricycle across China. Starting from Beijing’s successful bid for the Olympic Games in 2001, Chen Guanming has been walking for 10 years. He has traveled all over China and more than 10 countries including Pakistan, and has never stopped. In 11 years and 140,000 kilometers, tricycles traveled through 80% of China’s provinces and climbed the 7,200-meter Mount Everest;

"I just want to do something for the Olympics. All I have is a tricycle." Chen Guanming secretly left the village entrance on his most precious possession, a tricycle. He was not going to repair the car as his family and friends thought. He wanted to ride around China and arrive in Beijing before the Beijing Olympics. "What do you mean, let's cut it off first and then tell it later! You said you support it, but how can the rural people have this consciousness? Of course they are against it. I didn't tell them until I arrived in Hangzhou a month later that I came out to ride a bike to support the Olympics! " This crazy idea only brewed in his mind for five days. The moment Beijing's bid for the Olympics was successful on July 13, 2001, he excitedly thought about what he could do for the Olympics: "Me, I have no money and no skills. Come to think of it, I only have a tricycle. The Olympics always need advertising and publicity! Then I will ride a tricycle to Beijing to promote the Olympics!" "

Asked about this three-wheeled ride, faced with loneliness alone, and frugally lived in the open air. Do you have any regrets? Have you ever been afraid of anything? Chen Guanming said: "No. I have a tricycle. If I don't have any money, I can make some money by carrying passengers. There are kind people who help me along the way and stuff things for me. My biggest fear is that I can't arrive before the opening of the Olympic Games. If I can't catch up, it will be meaningless!" Fortunately, Chen Guanming arrived in Beijing more than ten days before the opening of the Beijing Olympics.

The next stop is Brazil in 2016. London is not the final stop for Chen Guanming’s cycling around the world to follow the Olympics. He said he has traveled halfway around the world, isn’t there still North and South America that he hasn’t visited yet? He, who values ​​perfection in everything he does, said that after the Olympics, he would buy a boat ticket and take his three-wheeler to Canada. Then arrive in 2016 to host the next Olympic Games in Brazil.
