On the Sichuan-Tibet line, the story of poor travel is not uncommon. The picturesque scenery here attracts countless backpackers and self-driving enthusiasts. However, behind this beauty, there are also some hidden bitterness. (The content of this article comes from online materials)
One sunny afternoon, I met a young woman, Xiao Fang, on the Sichuan-Tibet line. She was carrying a heavy backpack, her face was tired, and she was anxiously looking for a hitchhiker. After a lot of twists and turns, she finally got into a car, but she never expected that this would become the most painful memory of her journey.
Xiaofang told me that the driver made five "requests" after taking her into the car:
First: After the driver agreed to carry Xiaofang, he began to put forward a series of requirements. He first asked Xiao Fang to share the fuel cost, which made Xiao Fang feel a little surprised and puzzled. Although she knew that hitchhiking should try not to cause trouble to the other party, the sharing of fuel costs did not seem to be within her expectations. Faced with this sudden request, Xiao Fang felt a little overwhelmed, and she began to wonder if the choice of the ride was the right one, and at the same time had deep doubts about the driver's true motives.

Second: The driver's next request made Xiao Fang even more stunned, he actually hoped that Xiao Fang could help him cook and do laundry. This request made Xiaofang feel extremely uncomfortable, and although she was willing to help others during the journey, this kind of request that was clearly beyond the scope of normal hitchhiking made her feel difficult to accept. Xiao Fang began to wonder if she had found herself in a dangerous situation, and she decided to be more careful to protect her personal safety.
Third: During the journey, the driver does not seem to be satisfied with Xiaofang's role as a mere hitchhiker. He made a request, hoping that Xiaofang could chat with him and relieve his boredom. This kind of request made Xiao Fang feel a little embarrassed and uneasy. She understands the loneliness and boredom of the journey, and is willing to communicate and share with others, but the driver's attitude makes her feel that this is not a simple exchange, but an unreasonable demand.
Xiao Fang began to wonder why the driver would make such a request. She recalled the time when she waited anxiously on the side of the road, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She gradually realizes that this ride may not be a simple encounter, but an adventure full of unknowns. She became vigilant, no longer trusting others easily, and at the same time cherishing her time on the road more and no longer letting anyone disrupt her plans and rhythm.
Fourth: The driver's next request made Xiao Fang even more unbelievable, he actually hoped that Xiao Fang could massage him and help him relieve fatigue. Faced with this ridiculous request, Xiao Fang was angry and shocked. She felt that she had endured all the inconveniences she had done during the journey, and now the driver had treated her like a free servant. Xiaofang firmly refused the request, saying that she was not here to serve him, but to ask for help and travel together. This incident made Xiaofang deeply realize the importance of protecting her rights and dignity during the journey.
Fifth: The driver's last fifth request made Xiao Fang feel speechless, and he actually asked Xiao Fang to provide him with physical needs, which made Xiao Fang feel extremely humiliated and helpless. She cried, "I just wanted to get a ride, I didn't expect to have to meet so many unreasonable demands from the driver! I'm just an ordinary traveler, and there is no need to provide sexual services to anyone."
Such a request is not only unreasonable, but also a violation of my personal safety and dignity. Xiao Fang's resolute refusal shocked and angered the driver, but he also realized that his actions were indeed a bit excessive. Xiaofang's bravery and steadfastness have earned her the respect and sympathy of the people. This story reminds us to be vigilant and aware of our own safety while traveling, but also to learn to refuse unreasonable requests and protect our dignity and rights.
Exploring the deep-seated reasons for the predicament of the poor traveler woman in Sichuan and Tibet, it is not difficult for us to find that there are actually multiple complex factors hidden behind this.
First of all, the weak security awareness is a point that cannot be ignored. Many young women who choose to travel on a budget tend to be gullible to others due to a lack of sufficient self-protection awareness, which provides an opportunity for criminals to take advantage of. In remote areas, especially when the Sichuan-Tibet route is complex and sparsely populated, this kind of gullibility can easily lead to a dangerous situation.
Secondly, the hardships of the journey are also an important reason for the woman's predicament. As a challenging self-driving route, the Sichuan-Tibet Line is a discouraged destination for many tourists due to its harsh road conditions and unpredictable climate change. In order to save time and energy, some tourists have to opt for hitchhiking. However, this practice may put them in an even more dangerous situation, as some unscrupulous drivers take advantage of this demand from tourists to carry out extortion and even more serious criminal activities.
In addition, the presence of bad tour guides and drivers is also an important cause of this problem. Some tour guides and drivers do not hesitate to take advantage of the plight of tourists to extort money in pursuit of personal gain. They may ask visitors to pay exorbitant fees or meet other unreasonable demands in the name of helping. For inexperienced and vigilant tourists, these demands often leave them feeling overwhelmed, exacerbating their predicament.
Therefore, there are many reasons why the poor women in Sichuan and Tibet are facing difficulties, including the weak sense of personal safety, and the impact of the difficult journey and bad tour guides and drivers. Therefore, when we choose a way to travel, we should fully consider our own safety and risks during the journey, and make adequate preparations and plans to ensure that we can enjoy a pleasant and safe trip.
In the face of this problem, the formulation of coping strategies is particularly crucial. First of all, women who travel on a poor basis must strengthen their ability to protect themselves and be more vigilant against the outside world. When choosing a hitchhiker, one should not blindly trust a stranger just because he is in a hurry. You should know the driver's background and credibility beforehand, and find a carpool partner or choose public transportation through official channels to ensure the safety of the journey.
At the same time, poor travelers should also pay attention to their words and deeds to avoid leaving opportunities for bad drivers. During the trip, keep a low profile and don't show off your possessions or show too flirtatious attitudes to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. Most importantly, be vigilant at all times and keep an eye out for changes in your surroundings to keep yourself safe. Through these specific coping strategies, we can more effectively protect the safety of poor travelers and reduce the occurrence of similar incidents.
After experiencing this incident, Xiaofang has grown a lot. She learned how to protect herself during her journey and also learned to value her life more. "This experience taught me that safety is the most important thing," she says. I will cherish my life more and stop trusting strangers easily. ”
This incident also made us think deeply: on the road to freedom and dreams, we cannot ignore safety. Traveling is a beautiful experience, but safety is always a prerequisite. We should be vigilant and learn to protect ourselves to avoid falling into a similar predicament. At the same time, we should also pay attention to those who travel poorly, give them more care and help, and finally, I would like to appeal to everyone to be vigilant and learn to protect themselves during the journey. Let's speak up for travel safety and provide a safer and better travel environment for poor travelers.
