"just to meet you at the broadcaster conference", on september 10, sohu founder, chairman and ceo, and doctor of physics zhang chaoyang revealed in an interview with the media that he will challenge to cross the weihai bay on september 15, warming up for the upcoming sohu video broadcaster conference in his unique way.

looking back at zhang chaoyang's sports history, from climbing mount everest to summiting mount gangshika, from daily 5km sprints to marathon long-distance running, from checking in at xingcheng strait and qingjiang reservoir to crossing the han river in south korea - zhang chaoyang's sports resume can be called a "hardcore sports manual". this time, he will move the stage of the challenge to the sea, and will also open a new chapter in his many sports challenges.

regarding the upcoming weihai bay swim, zhang chaoyang said that although the preparation time is limited, he is still full of confidence. he posted several swimming videos in a row on the sohu video app "follow stream", saying that he is actively training to restore muscle memory and strength in preparation for the september 15th sea swim.

facing this sea swimming challenge, zhang chaoyang shared the practical tips and precautions he had accumulated. he emphasized that swimming in the sea is significantly different from swimming in a pool or river, especially when facing waves, ocean currents and marine life. waves can disrupt the swimmer's rhythm, so it is crucial to maintain a steady breathing and rhythm; the direction of the ocean current is also key, and the countercurrent will greatly increase the difficulty, so it is necessary to understand the tide conditions of the day in advance; in addition, marine life such as jellyfish and extremely rare sharks may also pose a threat to swimmers, and protective measures must be in place.

as a "physics influencer", zhang chaoyang's understanding of physics is verified in his sports. he has used the "small steps and high frequency" method to optimize running, and also applied the principles of mechanics to breaststroke. he explained that the action of kicking the legs in breaststroke is similar to stepping on the accelerator, while pulling the legs back is like stepping on the brakes. the precise coordination of these actions can minimize the resistance in the water, keep the body streamlined, and improve swimming efficiency. as he said, "swimming is not only a competition of physical strength, but also a practical application of physical principles."

when talking about the crossing, zhang chaoyang reminded everyone that learning to swim is not only for physical exercise, but also an important survival skill. as global warming, extreme weather is becoming more frequent, sea levels are rising, and natural disasters such as rivers and floods are becoming more common. zhang chaoyang encourages more people to master swimming skills to cope with the environmental challenges they may face in the future.

in addition to sharing swimming tips, zhang chaoyang particularly emphasized the benefits of swimming in alleviating cervical spine problems. he pointed out that modern people frequently look down at their phones and maintain a fixed posture for a long time, which will put continuous pressure on the cervical spine and lead to a series of health problems. breaststroke requires frequent head raise, which helps to exercise and relax the cervical spine. he also mentioned that in the future, a "health course" may be opened, covering aspects such as sleep habits, scientific diet and psychological adjustment.

in his opinion, the meaning of life is not only about the pursuit of utilitarianism and wealth, but also about doing something meaningful, whether it is to run a business well, or to do something you love, such as pursuing personal interests, challenging yourself through sports, or doing things that contribute to society. "doing things should be based on interest, passion and a sense of participation. people should live and work hard until they are old, find valuable things to realize and create value. there is a reason to work hard!" zhang chaoyang said.
