Chinese Woman on 10,000 Kilometer Hike Looks Like She Has Aged By 30 Years
It is amazing how much of a difference not having makeup and being exposed to the sun can do to someone’s face:
A Chinese woman in her 20s who went on a 10,000km long hike turned into a grandmother in her 60s in three months.
According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post on the 10th, Xasha (28), from Hubei Province in central China, departed from Chongqing City in southwest China in January and embarked on a walking tour to the Tibetan Autonomous Region. With a backpack weighing 50 kilograms, the walking distance so far is about 10,000 kilometers.
Sasha, who walks about 50km a day, receives donations through live streaming online from time to time. When there is a lot of donations, it is about 10,000 yuan (1.87 million won) per month.
A Chinese influencer filmed her hike and posted it on social media. What made headlines was her face, not her hiking scene.
This is because she did not wear makeup and her sunburnt face looked different from her previous appearance. On social media, “Your face looks 58 years old (not 28 years old).”

A wide-brimmed hat (possibly with the back cut off to make room for the too-heavy backpack) might’ve been useful. She should’ve talked to me. Meantime, it’s too bad people are remarking on her looks instead of encouraging her. A 50-kilo pack sounds like overpacking to me, but it’s an impressive weight to carry for 50 km a day (which is also a super-impressive daily distance).
No crows feet, no sagging eye lids, no wrinkles, no grey hair, looks like a healthy 28 Y. O. Outdoorsy woman to me. Much better than the bleached hair, artificially lightened skin version on the left.
She probably trusted the bottled water, too.
@Kevin Kim Do you really think her pack weighed 50 kg? That’s 110 lbs for ~31 miles a day. I can’t speak for anyone else, but in my general Army experience people tend to exaggerate, if not grossly, the weight of their packs.
I saw these pictures and was too disgusted to read the headline, article, or comments.
But I can tell you it is highly inappropriate to post pictures of what I took home while drinking and what I woke up with.
What I do at the tranny bar is my business.

Yeah, the more I thought about the article, the more it seemed there are “facts” that don’t add up. If the basic story is true, i.e., there’s a Chinese girl trekking 10,000K, that’s badass enough… but the rest of it strikes me as more and more suspicious. It’s hard to tell, from varying verb tenses, whether she’s done with her trek or not, for example. If she’s done, then 10,000K in about 105 days is almost 100 km a day. And rucking that distance with 100 kg on your back, for three months straight, is beyond what most militaries require. Your intuition is right.
