In order to fulfill ones wishes, people sometimes go to bizarre lengths to seek blessings from God. In one such case a Chinese man travelled 2,000 kilometres to the Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan Province to make his wishes come true. The distance that he travelled is not what baffled people but the manner in which he tried to seek blessings was peculiar.

In a screenshot of the video that is going viral, a man holding a big Airpod-shaped speaker can be seen blasting out his prayers in front of the 71-metre-tall Buddha statue. According to South China Morning Post, the video was posted on the Chinese social media named Douyin on April 25. In the video he can also be seen raising the volume on his phone so that the deity “can hear him better”.

"Do you know, giant Buddha, I'm 27 years old and I don't have a car, a house or a girlfriend," Zhang shouted into the speaker. he then goes on to make the wish and say, "Firstly, I want to be rich. I don't need much. 10 million yuan (Rs 11.81 crore) is enough. Most importantly, I want a girlfriend, who is just a little bit pretty, tender and loves me rather than my 10 million!"

Zhang said that following a run of bad luck as a result of “mercury retrograde”, he decided to spend 12 hours during the weekend to travel from China’s eastern Zhejiang province to southwestern Sichuan, to the Big Buddha, reported the South China Morning Post

Mercury retrograde is an astrological phenomenon that occurs three to four times a year and is an optical illusion involving the realignment of planet Mercury on which many blame their woes.
