On February 23, 2008, 65438, I participated in the "Growth" column of Jiangsu TV Station. During the interview, the host asked him what inspired them to swear forward when the Russian visa officer told them that their lives might be in danger. He replied that if people don't do what they think they should do all their lives because they are afraid of death or face difficulties, it is meaningless to live to old age. But this kind of thing before us is that we have planned for so long before announcing the Olympic Games, thinking that it may be meaningful to life, the country, ourselves and all China people. Although the process is full of difficulties, his family has always supported him and let him go on firmly. 1. Their destination, Banks Island, is located at 73 degrees north latitude. There are only 87 residents on the island. Even if I have heard of China, I have no impression of China. When they meet Hu's family, the first question is always: "Are you Japanese?" When Hu and his family introduce the Beijing Olympic Games, they often ask, "Is China successful in bidding for the Olympic Games?" This strengthened Hu's idea of traveling around the world and promoting the China and Beijing Olympic Games.

2. It's not just the residents of Banks Island who don't know about China. When Hu Ziwei told his Canadian classmates that he would drive around the world, they even asked in confusion, "Are there many cars in China?" Even well-informed customs officials have such doubts. When the Hu family entered the customs of many European countries, the customs officials would wonder why there were so many visas in these three China passports, and they often identified them one by one for fear of encountering fake passports. What's more, when they entered the Slovenian land port, customs officials had never seen China passports. It took them 65,438+0 hours to find a way to judge the authenticity of a China passport from a dusty document.

People often say that the feelings of sharing weal and woe are indestructible. In the interview, Hu Ziwei kept saying "I want to thank my parents".

Zhu Shiling also said with deep feelings: "I am often asked that you and your son have been studying in Canada for a long time, and your husband is alone in China.

Aren't you afraid of his "derailment" when the two places are separated? I always smile and say,' We are crowded in a narrow carriage, and we have experienced so many joys and hardships that we feel naturally different. How can we worry! "

Although crossing the world only takes advantage of the summer vacation, he has been preparing for crossing every day for several years.

His English conversation ability is very strong, so his parents left him all these things, from collecting information from various countries, traveling to contacting embassies and consulates to apply for visas.

5. Applying for an EU visa for the first time. The visa officer regarded him as a whimsical stowaway: "How can a child of 15 years old drive to Europe!" In order to convince the other party, Hu Ziwei spent two months communicating with him and showed him the feasibility study report, which finally made him feel that this was a credible reason. It was much easier to apply for a visa later. The fastest time, it took him only one morning to get a three-country visa for Vienna.

Reporter: What was the initial motivation and idea?

Hu Ziwei: We also gradually became clear in the course of crossing again and again. Of course, it is still under discussion. For the time being,

Since 2003, our main motives for crossing are: to publicize the Beijing Olympic Games and let more people know about China; We are determined to complete the leap with our own domestic brand cars in the future, just to let more people in the world support and trust China's own brands! Personally, I think we can gain knowledge by crossing. Then the car. We've always wanted to finish the race with China's own brand cars. A friend of my dad's, who is a middle-level cadre of domestic cars, thinks this is a big reason and takes the initiative to report to the leader to provide cars. However, the factory leaders held a meeting to discuss and worried that the car broke down on the road, which would have a negative impact on the reputation of the products. Therefore, they hope to give some money to support our crossing. And a foreign brand car, after knowing this news, volunteered to provide vehicles. The bigger aspect is the understanding of the "Olympic Games". The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is an unofficial, non-profit non-governmental organization, whose task is to organize world sports competitions regularly (once every four years). One of the most important slogans is: Focus on participation! We visited many Olympic organizations in Europe and Canada. As soon as they saw the Olympic symbol in our hands, they warmly received us and took photos with us as a souvenir. In China, people are not only very vigilant and suspicious, but also ask, who agreed to promote the Olympic Games? What level of government or propaganda organization agreed?

Moderator: I see, I see. Just now, in the short film, you said that I want China people to go further. How did you come up with such a grandiose remark?

Hu Ziwei: When we were at the opening ceremony of the main venue of the Athens Olympic Games, we kept waving the China flag and many people were taking pictures. We are also very happy, but after the photo was taken, people became a problem, and this problem gave you a blow.

Moderator: Ask what?

Hu Ziwei: Which country's flag is this? I have never seen it.

Moderator: In our own view, our country is so big that so many people don't know our national flag.

Hu Ziwei: Well, this is one thing. Abroad, I told people that the car made in China is China's own car. We brought our own car, but people said no, ah, great. He said, Ah, China has a car now? This is the second one.

Compere: Do they think we still live in ancient times?

Hu Ziwei: They think we still ride bicycles more. So, let China people go further with their goals. Why do you want to go so far? It is to let people from afar know more about China, know that the Chinese nation is no longer the sick man of East Asia, and know that we have stood up. China people can now make cars, and China cars can already travel around the world. With courage, strength and strength, China people can realize the dream of foreigners traveling around the world. Tourism is peer-to-peer, with one or several destinations. What is neglected is the process on the road, the core of which is "sightseeing", and the key is: being there or seeing it with your own eyes. And crossing has a general purpose, which is to experience the whole process. Crossing can personally experience the coldest, hottest, poorest and richest places on earth, and it is completed in a short time. Among them, the key lies in "discovery"; Crossing does not need any "business lies", any "folk" performances, any "beautiful" legends, but only the naked truth that comes to our faces.
