Zh: 秋天，长城在阳光下闪烁着金色的光辉。
En: In the autumn, the Great Wall of China glimmered with a golden sheen under the sunlight.
Zh: 一群学生们兴奋地在这古老的长城上来回穿梭。
En: A group of students excitedly wandered back and forth on this ancient wall.
Zh: 李伟、陈和君是这次学校秋季旅行中的一员。
En: Li Wei and Chen Hejun were part of the school's autumn trip.
Zh: 他们跟随老师一边走，一边听讲解古老长城的历史。
En: They followed the teacher, listening to the explanation of the Great Wall's history as they walked.
Zh: 但是，李伟却心不在焉。
En: However, Li Wei seemed distracted.
Zh: 他对长城的兴趣与日俱增，想要独自一人走走，感受历史的痕迹。
En: His interest in the Great Wall grew by the day, and he wanted to walk alone and feel the traces of history.
Zh: 可是，同学们的喧闹声和自拍照让他有些烦躁。
En: Yet, the noise from his classmates and their selfies made him a bit irritable.
Zh: 他想要找个属于自己的安静时刻。
En: He wanted to find a quiet moment for himself.
Zh: 他看了看周围，然后做出了一个大胆的决定。
En: He looked around and then made a bold decision.
Zh: “我只需要一会儿，”李伟心想。
En: "I just need a moment," Li Wei thought.
Zh: 他悄悄地离开了大部队，沿着一个小道走去。
En: He quietly left the main group and set out along a small path.
Zh: 走了一会儿，李伟发现一个安静的角落。
En: After walking for a while, Li Wei discovered a quiet corner.
Zh: 这里视野开阔，大地的辽阔与长城的雄伟让他心安宁静。
En: The open view and the vastness of the land, combined with the grandeur of the Great Wall, brought him peace and tranquility.
Zh: 他闭上眼睛，感受着脚下石头的历史厚重感，仿佛穿越时空，与古人在对话。
En: He closed his eyes, feeling the heavy sense of history beneath his feet, as if he were traveling through time, conversing with the ancients.
Zh: 这一刻，李伟感受到了一种从未有过的亲近感。
En: At this moment, Li Wei felt a sense of closeness he had never experienced before.
Zh: 他想起了中秋节，这个合家团圆的日子。
En: He thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunions.
Zh: 这片风景似乎在对他说，历史总是连接着我们的过去与现在。
En: The scenery seemed to speak to him, saying that history always connects our past with the present.
Zh: 时间过得很快，李伟知道该回去了。
En: Time passed quickly, and Li Wei knew it was time to return.
Zh: 他向远处最后看了一会儿，仿佛牢牢记住这一刻的感动。
En: He looked into the distance one last time, as if to firmly remember this touching moment.
Zh: 然后，他迅速返回到队伍中。
En: Then, he quickly returned to the group.
Zh: 刚好，老师正在召集学生准备回程。
En: Just in time, the teacher was gathering the students to prepare for the return journey.
Zh: 陈和君看到李伟，调皮地问道：“去哪儿啦，你没有迷路吧？”
En: Chen Hejun saw Li Wei and playfully asked, "Where did you go? You didn't get lost, did you?"
Zh: 李伟微微一笑，没有说话。
En: Li Wei smiled slightly, not saying a word.
Zh: 他感觉到了一种新的力量，寻找属于自己的方向。
En: He felt a new strength, aiming to find his own path.
Zh: 尽管旅途结束了，但李伟内心的那份宁静与喜悦却长久地伴随着他。
En: Although the trip was over, the peace and joy inside Li Wei stayed with him for a long time.
Zh: 他意识到，追随内心的旅程同样重要。

Zh: 而这次长城之旅，让他更加坚定地走在自己的路上。
En: And this trip to the Great Wall made him more determined to walk on his own path.
