The Volvo Ocean Race is the most influential offshore sailing event in the world and the most difficult and longest professional sports event in the world. In the world of sailing, there is no single honor comparable to winning the Volvo Ocean Race. The event is held every three years. It takes nine months and the fleet needs to cross the four oceans on five continents in extreme weather conditions to complete at least 38,739 nautical miles of human challenge.
The first two races of the season have achieved excellent results one after another. The total points are among the best. The Chinese “Dongfeng†who was not favored before the game has become the most dazzling dark horse in this tournament. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the “end-point village†set by the organizing committee, everyone looked around for the iconic red mast. The fog in the harbour can be dignified, and several of the sails are looming and unclear. Liu Licheng, general manager of the Dongfeng team who came to welcome everyone, did not seem to be too eager to make the Dongfeng debut prematurely and took everyone to the camp of the fleet first.
The Dongfeng team is a mix of more than a dozen Chinese and foreign sailing warriors. It is the first Chinese team in history in the true sense. Came to the Dongfeng team's camp, Liu Licheng began to introduce the background of the tournament and the Dongfeng team. Said to be the camp area, but it was only two 20-year-old recruits. 1 鹂炊 éž‘ éž‘ 啵 啵 啵 èŠ èŠ èŠ èŠ èŠ èŠ ç—ˆæ¶¸é¸¨ 痈涸鸨 痈涸鸨 痈涸鸨 痈涸鸨 痈涸鸨 痈涸鸨 哦 哦 哦 哦 å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ å°¤ 0 "Grass and grass first", they are the same as the crew, are an integral part of the Dongfeng team.
During the visit, a group of “male gods†with strong build, dark complexion and perseverance were coming toward the camp. It was the crew of the Dongfeng team. The captain, the Frenchman Charles, walks in front of the team. He is the star crew of the team and the “celebrity†in the world of sailing circles. "Ten years later, I will be very proud that I can be the first person to lead the Chinese team to participate in this event." Charles said in his conversation with the permanent ambassador.
Among all the crew members, one of China’s faces laughs the most sly. The young boy named Liu Xue was born in 1993 to a sailing family and is one of the six Chinese crew members of the Dongfeng team. It is also the youngest among the crew of all participating teams. One. Ambassador Chang stepped forward and raised up with him. He encouraged him to challenge, to learn, to make progress, and to create the legend of Chinese ocean-going navigation with the fleet. The young man responded with a brighter smile and his eyes became firmer.
The crew came to the camp to place their luggage. The space on the boat is small, and each person is only allowed to carry a small bag of 8 kilograms, and there is almost no space after loading several pieces of clothing and medicines that are usually changed. Other personal items, electronic equipment, and even passports must be “turned in†and kept by the team on the shore. They will be distributed after arriving at the next destination.
To see the "Dongfeng"! After visiting the camp, everyone walked toward the parking area. The morning fog has become much thinner and the sense of expectation has grown stronger. In front of a row of sailing ships berthed in Hong Kong, everyone looked with eagerness to find familiar signs. The first thing that catches the eye is a five-star red flag, which is particularly striking in the fog. Finding the national flag naturally found the “Dongfengâ€: the “Dongfeng†word on the stern was sturdy and powerful, and it matched with the five-star red flag; the hull was small, but it seemed to know how to get acquainted; the raised sail had a huge east wind printed on it. Marking, the red and white color of the hull makes the Chinese elements look particularly eye-catching. Into the cabin, only to really feel the hard work of the crew in the game: This Volvo 65 type sailboat does not have much private space, the eight players participating in each stage must change their positions in the game, stay up all night. After each class is completed, it is only possible to rest for a maximum of two hours in a narrow hammocks. After all, letting the boat sail at full speed in all circumstances is the top priority of the fleet. The crew told everyone that sailing in the ocean and swaying into the waves will be thrown back into the sea again and again. The boat is like a drumhead hitting the sea continuously, even though Companions are close to you and you have to rely on each other to communicate. The crew will have to supplement their energy with very little compressed food in such a difficult environment. Each stage will have to drift for nearly a month in the sea. This is a double limit challenge to human fitness and will!
“This is our Chinese sailboat!†After taking a picture with the hull, everyone came to the Dongfeng Exhibition Hall again. The pavilion is dominated by red tones, with Chinese pavilion architectural styles. From afar, it is an eye-catching Chinese element. In an open space in front of the museum, local residents and tourists from various countries are watching the Chinese martial arts with great interest. The concept of "Chinese tai chi" with the 15 metric tons of Dongfeng trucks displayed in a mix of static and dynamic, a soft one, this idea can be described as wonderful. The original hometown of Dongfeng Motor in Shiyan City, Hubei Province, is also the site of the World Cultural Heritage and the Taoist holy site of Mount Wudang. Dongfeng Motor and Wudang Kungfu help each other to make the ancient Chinese tradition and modern Chinese manufacturing complement each other.
During the joint interview with the Chinese media in the exhibition hall, Ambassador Chang expressed his congratulations to the "Dongfeng Team" on the results achieved in the first two stations. He wished the team members a happy new year and another great success. Ambassador Chang said that the Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle’s exclusive title of “Dongfeng†not only improved the international popularity of the Dongfeng Motor brand, but also contributed to its future performance in the international market, especially in the Middle East market, and brought Chinese culture and Chinese spirit to the forefront. To Abu Dhabi, let the local people understand China, feel China, and love China, which will greatly benefit the deepening of Sino-Arab people-to-people friendship and cultural exchanges.
In a subsequent live interview with the local media, the ambassador pointed out that the current Volvo Yacht Race will closely link Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, with Sanya City, the next destination of the event. This is the route of the ancient Maritime Silk Road. . The Chinese government proposes that the countries concerned build a maritime Silk Road in the new century and deepen economic cooperation. The friendship between China and Arab countries will continue to renew its vitality on this ancient and new maritime silk road. It is believed that Sanya City will fully learn from Abu Dhabi's successful experience and make this event even better.
