As the last mountain in the Alpine system to be reached by human beings, Matterhorn is irreplaceable. To mark the 150th anniversary of the first climb by British explorer Edward Whymper and others, a group of climbers marched on the route to the northeast corner of Matterhorn that Whymper climbed in 2015: the H ö rnli Ridge ridge, and lit the ridge with headlights to reengrave the climbers' steps with a beam of light. The film, which is made up of dots and lined with lines, touched the heartstrings of many people around the world. The mountaineer's headlights lit up the mountains and lit up the perception of "time is like God".

Thousands of miles away in Switzerland, the red line of Hornley Ridge also touched a 16-year-old Taiwanese teenager, Lin Jun. He looked at the film and asked himself, "how far is it before I can climb such a beautiful mountain?"

Lin Jun climbed Matterhong Peak alone last year. After his return, he held a photo exhibition "A Solo Dance with the Mountain" (Photography / Lin Jun) handball teenagers jumped out of the well to know about the food crisis and had a big agricultural dream.

Lin Jun was energetic from an early age, and the elementary school teacher could not resist his ability to cause trouble, allowing him to join the handball team to consume excess physical strength. From primary three to primary six, handball is the focus of Lin Jun's life. Although his schoolwork was good and his mother wanted him to return to formal education, because his good brother chose the junior high school physical education class, Lin Jun played handball in Tachia Junior High School for three years and became a Taiwan representative player in the International Junior Group handball competition.

The team's training was described by Lin Jun as "militarized management", with unified accommodation and classes according to schedule. Often feel that the training is about to collapse, but again and again to tide over the difficulties, such reincarnation can not help but let the players develop the illusion that "nothing seems to be difficult for me". Coupled with the team experts gathered, "won the championship to get numb", Lin Jun had an unbeatable sense of superiority, a kind of childishness.

The frog in the well knows that the actual sky is much larger than the tube cone above his head, and the turning point is a book. When Lin Junguo was in his second year, his mother conveniently took Professor Peng Minghui's "key report on the Food crisis: Taiwan observation" from the bookshelf and asked him to pass the time on his way back to school. Unexpectedly, this book, which is by no means an extracurricular reading for teenagers, helped Lin Jun open his eyes. It turns out that there are many things in the world that are more important than "how to win the championship"; it turns out that food and energy issues are not taken seriously. If Professor Peng Minghui knows such a young fan as Lin Jun, he will certainly be proud of "I am not alone."

Lin Jun came to the crossroads of life, straight is the broad road of sports national players, turning is a rugged, muddy, uncertain agricultural path, but he bravely wants to join agriculture, not only plans to quit the team, but also decided to apply for agricultural school. It's just that when he went to report to the agricultural school, his teammates tried to call him back to Dajia, "fight for a few more championships." Lin Jun, who attached great importance to affection and righteousness, could not afford to lobby, so he had to put his dream of agriculture in his pocket for the time being.

To continue to play is really only a compromise under the meaning of love, only a week after the beginning of school, Lin Jun found that Tachia High School was not suitable for him. After all, he already knows how big the world is, and he really can't go back to the well, with the pursuit of the championship as his sole goal, regardless of his desire for knowledge. Although his mother supported his decision, it had only been a few days since the start of school. With no choice, Lin Jun had no choice but to go to Sanyu High School, the only one with freshman places, hoping to get a star qualification to go to college and contribute to agriculture in the future.

It's just that Sanyu High School is not a higher education-oriented school, and the school cares more about students' progress in the field of religion than their schoolwork. Many school rules are unreasonable in Lin Jun's eyes, such as not allowing students to study in the evening, and so on, he teamed up with mentors who supported the students, several students who wanted to study, and their parents to protest with the conservative and unwilling to change the school.

Knowing that the basic subjects were not solid enough, Lin Jun returned to Taichung every Thursday night since his second year of high school and used three days of tutoring on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to force himself to catch up with the progress of his schoolwork. Later, when the tutorial place was changed to Taipei, he had to stay in a youth hostel on his own, and the hardships of the accommodation did not stop him. In cram school, he met the elite of various schools, these students were completely different from their peers growing up, he knew that in the future world, he would compete for these excellent objects, and the glory of sports was of no use at all.

Lin Jun said: "at that time, I lost a lot of things to play handball; later, I should spend more time to make up for it." All the adjectives used to describe "study hard" can be applied to Lin Jun. He is persistent, recognized and diligent, like a tortoise chasing a rabbit, working hard in the competition for further education. In the end, he not only exceeded the original goal: the agronomy department of Chung Hsing University, but even ran to a farther terminal: the ── of the agronomy department of National Taiwan University, an environment that could better meet the desire for knowledge.

Milan World Expo is an eye-opener and likes to use both hands and brains in agriculture.

Originally, I chose the Department of Agronomy of Zhongxing University as a volunteer because Lin Jun High School yearned for it after participating in the agricultural camp held by the department. In fact, since he decided to join agriculture, he has taken advantage of various opportunities to increase his agricultural experience. For example, during the winter vacation of the first year of high school, he was in lon, Xizhou, Changhua.
