Features: This project is a model of Sino-foreign cooperation. Huang Siyuan, a Dane, did not know Chinese rower Sun Haibin when he was conceptualizing his plan. Because of this project, they came together, overcoming cultural differences and personality clashes, and achieved the 8th place in the "Alert Atlantic Rowing Race," which had 36 competing boats. Their story holds reference value for Chinese enterprises, joint ventures, and foreign-invested enterprises with increasingly close international cooperation. This event also serves as a successful case study in project management. The book vividly describes the birth and development of a dream, as well as how to turn an seemingly impossible plan into reality. Although there were only two rowers, countless people—Chinese, foreigners alike—were involved in the project, and every participant gained inspiration from it. As Huang Siyuan himself said, "This is a massive and complex undertaking. Without the support of the people present, I would not have reached this point." The classic principles of project management were embodied in the event. Without a doubt, this is also a book about a great, high-risk challenge, telling the story of survival and success in adverse conditions. Today, when wilderness survival and exploration of nature have become a compulsory course for young people's growth, this book will inspire you to face life with courage.
