2019: Convoying the Chinese Guangong to the South Pole
In this blue planet, there exist “three mysterious poles”--- the north pole, south pole, and the spine of the world.
The photographer Zhu Zhengming who has visited about 51 countries in seven continents to communicate Guangong culture said that this is the 1800th anniversary for Guangong’s righteous cause. In this year, we have convoyed Chinese Guangong to the three poles of the earth, and communicating the spirit of “loyalty, benevolence, courage and honesty” to the three poles, in order to express the respect to this Chinese moral idol and hope that Guangong will bless and protect all Chinese people at home and abroad, as well as the peaceful development of the world.
In mid-December 2019, Zhu Zhengming led entrepreneurs and photographers from both straits, flying to Buenos Aires, the capital of South America and Argentina, from Beijing. He was greeted warmly by more than 30 overseas Chinese leaders in Argentina and Chile. The local overseas Chinese leader highly praised the delegation for sending Chinese Guangong to promote the development of the overseas Chinese community in South America.

When the Icebreaker Cruise arrived at the Paradise Bay of the South Pole, the five “great persons” from both straits, as well as the expeditionist Chen Zhongyuan and overseas student Zhang Ziruo, displayed the picture of Chinese Guangong, and all people here wished that Chinese Guangong will bless and protect the world after entering South Pole in the icebergs.....
On Dec. 15th, the Icebreaker Cruise sailed to the Gulf of Great Wall Station of China in Antarctica, Georgia Island, with growing waves and surging drift ice. Expedition leader Shirley Ogilvy drove the assault boat for several trials, and the wind and waves threw the assault boat to the left and right. Soon, the captain made the decision: the wind and waves were so strong that they couldn’t land for the safety of passengers.

Wang Gang, an American overseas Chinese, said with deep feelings, “overseas Chinese all have deeply kept the Chinese culture in mind, and Guangong is one of the most respectful idol for them! This time, we are honored to arrive at Antarctica to spread Guangong culture to every corner of the world and communicate the spirit of loyalty and honesty, which is really meaningful. ”
