Charles Zhang's inquiry of swimming and life

On the significance of bay crossing, Charles Zhang admitted that this crossing was not only a personal challenge and a chance to do something remarkable, but also a way to demonstrate a healthy lifestyle and exercise through action. He said he would keep swimming. In his view, life is about pushing oneself, and one’s journey should be full of a sense of ritual. “When you have a goal, and believe what you’re doing is valuable and meaningful, you forget anxiety and fear and just charge forward,” said the 61-year-old tycoon.
