Recently I stumbled upon a video I have known since long time ago, The Longest Way 1.0 by Christoph Rehage. It is a video about the evolution of beard during his long walk from Beijing to Urumqi. The video is fun and creative. No wonder why it became viral since its day-view. His original plan was to walk from Beijing all the way back to his hometown in Germany. He abandonned his project at Urumqi and last he decided to continue his quest.
To my surprise, Christoph's mandarin is insanely good. He even acquired the accent of the Chinese in China. From his videos, I thought that his speeches in mandarin were well scripted and that's why he could speak so well. But during his presence in a show I regularly watch, his level of mandarin is confirmed. His mandarin is good!
The other interesting thing about his video is the background music from TLW 1.0 - L'Aventurier by Kingpins. It is in french, about a fictional character, the adventurer Bob Morane. It just has an exciting vibe in it, makes me want to go for an adventure just like Christoph and Bob Morane. To my surprise, the song is just a cover. The original is sung by Indochine, a french band I have also known since a long time ago. The song is in fact the first major success from the band. The original even has an oriental vibe in it, which fits in the name of the band - Indochina.
