"Ride Across New Zealand" Kicks Off with Launch Event; Dou Xiao and Zheng Gang Embark on an Exciting Journey

 November12, Dou Xiao teamed up with adventurer Zheng Gang at the V Sport sports-themed bar in Beijing to hold the "Ride Across New Zealand"launch event,，where they discussed their experiences with attending media.

At the event, Dou Xiao enthusiastically shared stories from his upbringing and his outdoor adventures. Reflecting on the upcoming journey, he said frankly: “I’ll be hands-on throughout, discovering the meaning of cycling amid breathtaking scenery.”

 Having always believed that humans are born of nature, Dou Xiao enjoys hiking and rock climbing when not filming. He thrives on the thrill and exhilaration of challenges, finding in outdoor sports a healing and rejuvenating power. Through his role in the film "Wolf Totem," Dou Xiao gained deeper insights into nature—how can one truly live in harmony with it? Repeated climbs, bike rides, and climbs are not about controlling nature, nor conquering it, but about becoming one with it.

Humans come from nature and will ultimately return to it.Like other species, humans cannot escape the ultimate constraints of natural laws. In this sense, mankind has not yet reached a state of opposition to nature and can be seen as no different from any other creature.So then, what should the relationship between humans and nature be? This is also one of the questions this cycling journey aims to explore.

This time, Dou Xiao and explorer Zheng Gang will take on the “Double Ten Challenge” over 30 days—completing ten outdoor activities and traversing ten of the most beautiful cycling routes. Without assistants or agents, the two will tackle every challenge and route themselves. Dou Xiao also stated at the event: “Before turning 30, I want to do some extraordinary things, like climbing snow mountains or even Mount Everest. This ride will be a personal challenge and is sure to become an unforgettable experience in my life.”

 At the event, Dou Xiao, Zheng Gang, media reporters, and outdoor enthusiasts watched promotional videos related to the New Zealand journey. In a relaxed atmosphere, everyone shared insights about outdoor sports. Meanwhile, the pair looked forward to the trip to New Zealand, although they knew the road ahead would inevitably includevarious unexpected events,and challenges might not always succeed—but nothing could dampen the enthusiasm of these two daring riders. This passionate ride is set to capture the attention of countless outdoor enthusiasts.

Over the course of thirty intense days, Zheng Gang and Dou Xiao seek the meaning of the journey, challenging themselves through repeated outdoor expeditions and experiencing the thrill of pressing forward amid uncertainty. At the same time, the duo hopes to convey the“"Ride Spirit"“――through this New Zealand trip, inspiring more young people facing life’s challenges to live each daypositivelyand bravely, unafraid of obstacles and moving forward courageously.
