His mother, Jean Loken, adds: "So much could have gone wrong, but it went much better than we could have hoped for It's an incredible achievement for Robert, and we are very proud of him."
他的妈妈Jean Loken:“我们之前认为他的长城之旅的决定是不现实的,但是结果却比我们期望的要好很多。这是Robert Loken的一次惊人的成就,我们都为他感到非常的自豪。”

Loken说现在他还没有从这次旅途中恢复过来,他正在试图在家乡康复期间慢慢的改善自己的心态和身体状况。
