Senior Captain Of China Shipping Group Visited The World Shipping Hall Guide.

"Is there any gender difference in ships?"

Hu Yuexiang was dressed in a neat white captain's coat, and the gold and yellow on the brim were very attractive. He kept interacting with tourists in the Chinese shipping museum with a loudspeaker. From radar to deck, from container ships to ro ro ships, we talked a lot. Many tourists followed closely and listened.

Hu Yuexiang is actually not a professional navigator. He is a senior captain of China Shipping Group Corporation. His main job is to train young captains and drivers. He only has time to volunteer to explain to tourists on Saturday, Sunday or other spare time. Every time he introduces the model of "New Asia" container ship in the museum, he will proudly show his identity to tourists: "I was the captain of the ship." When tourists give him applause, he laughs with embarrassment, and then introduces the history, route, tonnage and speed of the ship.

"He was really a captain, and no wonder he spoke so well," sighed Zou Xiansheng, who was taking photos with Captain Hu. "Listening to the captain at the ship yard is like being on a boat. It's really professional and wonderful."

In May 30th, it was Hu Yuexiang's fifth time as a navigator. In order to make the explanation more profound, the commentary was carefully revised 3 times: "everyone looked up and saw that the revolving radar antenna. Do you know about bats? Bat sends out ultrasonic echoes to distinguish direction and distance. The deck is the "monkey deck" on the top of the bridge. Why do we call it this? Because the sailors need to climb up and down the mast like monkeys. Now let's make a monkey out of the audience. In introducing the gaps in the exhibits, he will also tell you a few stories about ships and sailors. "Why do we call the chief engineer" old ghost "and so on? All the tourists are talking about it, and then he slowly reveals the answer," because every time the chief engineer comes out of the engine room, he is all black oil. " The tourists laughed and he laughed. "The story I told you made the audience laugh." Hu Yuexiang did not finish his first explanation until he wrote back such words in his blog.

Hu Yuexiang was originally a "big guy", plus this uniform, the entrance to the exhibition hall attracted a lot of tourists. Besides, he became a "mascot" for tourists to compete for a group photo. "I am not as professional as a tour guide, so articulate, not as elegant and beautiful as they are, but I have a deeper sense of ocean and ship than they do, and I am more professional and systematic about the ship's knowledge." When Hu Yuexiang first visited the Chinese shipping hall, he could not help showing his captain's identity before the "New Asia" ship model. At that time, many visitors came up to him and asked him about the knowledge of ships and the lives of seafarers. Later, he expressed his desire to volunteer at the shipping hall on the forums and Blogs: "there is no reason nor to think of the limelight, but by the loyalty of a veteran captain to navigation and the loyalty to the seafaring cause of the motherland......" After being informed by the Chinese shipping hall, the first time he got in touch with Hu Yuexiang, in Hu Yuexiang's words, "the pie hit me on the head."

"To make more young people know about sailing and sailing, our older seafarers should do their best." Hu Yuexiang said. China Shipping hall and Hu Yuexiang are trying to get other captains to join the tour guide team, so that more tourists can see "Captain guide" style.
