The Vendée Globe, known as the "Mount Everest of sailing", challenges skippers to circumnavigate the globe alone, non-stop, and without assistance.

In 2025, Chinese sailor Xu Jingkun, known as the "one-armed captain", completed this epic journey in 99 days—becoming the 100th finisher in the race's history, and the first Chinese skipper ever to finish. 

The Voice of The South China Sea interviewed Xu to pay tribute to all who dare to sail beyond the horizon.
