Sun told the audience the behind-the-scenes story of how the book was published in the mainland and Yang and Xiao Peng shared their travelling experiences as they pursued their individual dreams. "Listen to what your heart tells you. That's the start of your dream. Be prudent and know your own strengths. Divide your dream into different stages and stick to it. You will succeed," was Yang's advice to young people who love travel and have great dreams.
