Zhang Chaoyang, Sohu founder, ‍chairman, and CEO, ⁤successfully swam across the Weihai Bay in a breaststroke, ⁤covering a distance of 4.15⁤ kilometers and ⁢completing the challenge in 2⁣ hours and 36 minutes.

Zhang Chaoyang emphasized ⁤that he ⁢chose swimming to promote the 2024⁣ Autumn Sohu Video Broadcaster Conference, hoping to attract more people to experience the fun of video​ social networking. He also highlighted that struggle is the essence of⁤ life, ⁣and only by taking action⁤ can you live a meaningful life.

At⁢ around 8:50 am, ⁤Zhang⁣ Chaoyang‍ launched the “cross-sea” challenge from ⁤Liugong Island, using breaststroke throughout the process. Despite encountering waves and strong ocean currents, he remained orderly and completed⁢ the challenge in 2 hours and 36‌ minutes.

Zhang Chaoyang ⁤expressed ⁢his sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from having put ‌in the ⁢effort to accomplish something. He insisted on‍ running and strengthened his ‍swimming training within a week to restore his muscle memory and strength.

Crossing‌ the bay is more challenging than swimming pools and general ⁤outdoor waters. It requires overcoming difficulties such as waves, ​tides,⁢ ocean currents, low water temperature, and long-term immersion in seawater. Zhang Chaoyang highlighted the importance of controlling sneezing, accurately grasping the rhythm of breathing, and spitting ​out seawater in time.

Zhang Chaoyang values the practicality and functionality of exercise. He⁣ believes⁢ that running is a basic exercise that requires long-term persistence, while swimming is not only good for ⁢the cervical spine but also a ⁤survival skill. He recommends⁢ that everyone learn to swim and challenge the crossing of Weihai‌ Bay with professional guidance and safety guarantees.

Zhang Chaoyang reiterated that his⁢ crossing challenge was a warm-up for‌ the 2024 Autumn ⁤Sohu Video Broadcaster Conference. He compared‍ the Broadcaster Conference to an important product launch conference of Sohu⁤ and strongly recommended Sohu Video’s “Follow Flow”.
