Swimmer Zhang Jian became the first Chinese person to swim across the English Channel early Monday morning as he successfully landed in Calais, France, after a 12-hour journey from Dover, Britain. At 1:25 a.m. (Beijing time), Zhang walked onto the French beach to the applause(掌声) of Chinese fans, tourists.

The 33.8-kilometer channel has attracted many swimmers because it is one of the most difficult to cross. The 37-year-old swimmer left Shakespeare Beach, Dover, at 1:30 p.m., Sunday to start his journey. A pilot ship guided him in the effort.

With special oil on his skin to help keep warm, Zhang Jian beat the cold current(水流) of 16°C and swam for 12 hours. He could only remain on the French sands for 10 minutes because he didn’t obtain a French visa. After a hearty but brief celebration, he boarded the pilot ship to return to Britain.

For much of the stunt, Zhang swam freestyle to save energy. But Zhang altered his style along the way because the ocean current changed every 6 hours and the water was so cold. Zhang changed to the breaststroke at about 9 p.m., in spite of expert warning that doing so would exhaust (消耗) him faster. Later he changed back to freestyle. Zhang stopped several times to take water and food.

About 3 three hours before he landed in Calais, a British guide jumped into the sea to accompany(伴随) him. At 67, the British swimmer was the second-oldest person to ever cross the English Channel when he did so 2 years ago. Zhang kept up with the rising tide helping him achieve his goal. Most Chinese news Internet sites and web portals covered Zhang’s exploits extensively. Internet users posted messages about the stunt as they watched the live broadcast on CCTV. “The spirit of adventure which has long been far away from the Chinese should come back to us,” said an Internet user. “Whether he succeeds or fails, he has given us something quite valuable,” said another online message.
