The attitude of the Saudi Coast Guard has changed dramatically, and the Chinese guy has made an unexpected trip
A thrilling sea voyage actually allowed a Chinese guy to experience a diplomatic privilege? It sounds like a movie plot, but it's happening on the Red Sea.
Not long ago, a Chinese travel blogger named Han Xiao encountered a dangerous situation while crossing the Red Sea.
I wanted to go to the shore for help, but I was unexpectedly expelled by the Saudi Coast Guard.
Just when Han Xiao was cornered, he showed his Chinese identity.
Unexpectedly, this move made the attitude of the Saudi Coast Guard turn 180 degrees!
Han Xiao is a seasoned travel enthusiast who often explores the world by sea and by land.
This time he set sail again and embarked on an adventure across the Red Sea.
At first, the sea was calm and the sea was like a mirror, as if God was favoring this brave adventurer.
Who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and not long after entering the Red Sea, the violent wind and rain gave Han Xiao a disadvantage.
To make matters worse, the boat's engine suddenly malfunctioned and began to leak.
Han Xiao was alone and helpless, so he could only venture closer to the shore and ask for help.
When he finally entered Saudi territorial waters and saw the people who could help him, the big stone in his heart was just about to land, but he encountered an unexpected situation.
The Saudi Coast Guard wanted to expel Han Xiao without saying a word.
This can make him anxious, the ship is about to sink, where is he going?
When he was desperate, Han Xiao had an idea and showed his Chinese citizenship to the Saudi Coast Guard.
I didn't expect this trick to have an immediate effect! When the Saudi Coast Guard heard the word "China", its attitude instantly made a 180-degree turn.
Not only did they enthusiastically introduce Han Xiao to a military port, but they also helped him find repairmen non-stop.
You must know that military ports are highly secret places, and allowing a foreigner to enter shows the degree of trust Saudi Arabia has in China.
While waiting for the ship to be repaired, Han Xiao chatted with the local residents.
The Saudis praised China, noting in particular its important role in facilitating the restoration of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran in their country's development.
After repairing the ship, the enthusiastic Saudis also sent a large number of supplies to Han Xiao.
Although Han Xiao repeatedly said they didn't need to, they insisted on expressing their gratitude to China.
This made Han Xiao feel the warmth and pride brought by the strength of the motherland.
After leaving Saudi Arabia, Han Xiao met an enthusiastic Palestinian brother in Chittagong.
This little brother helped Han Xiao repair the ship without saying a word, and insisted on not charging money.
The reason is that in their eyes, Chinese people are family.
This series of heart-warming experiences made Han Xiao deeply appreciate the confidence and sense of security brought by the strength of the motherland to overseas travelers.
He couldn't help but recall the scene when the Chinese navy escorted him when he crossed Somali waters in 2020.
That sentence - call me on channel 16 if you need help! - It still excites him to this day.
Han Xiao's experience sparked heated discussions on the Internet.
Some netizens ridiculed: - This is the confidence given by the motherland! - Some people sighed: - It turns out that we can still have privileges when we go abroad? - More people are proud of China's status and image in the world.
This incident also raises some food for thought.
While we should be proud of the strength of our motherland, we should also remember that rights and responsibilities coexist.
While enjoying privileges, we must maintain the country's image in a responsible manner.
Some commentators have pointed out that Han Xiao's experience is certainly exciting, but we should not over-interpret or exaggerate it.
After all, true international relations are far more complex than personal experiences.
We should look at it rationally, neither arrogant nor blindly arrogant.
Some experts also reminded that although it is good for Chinese citizens to receive preferential treatment overseas, we should pay more attention to how to continue to improve the country's soft power, so that Chinese citizens can be respected from the bottom of their hearts overseas, not just for the sake of interests - special treatment.
In any case, Han Xiao's adventure in the Red Sea opens a window into China's international status.
It is not only a personal experience of a traveler, but also a reflection of China's influence in today's world landscape.
In this world full of uncertainties, every Chinese citizen should remember that behind us, there is a strong motherland.
But at the same time, we must also use our own actions to make this strength more worthy of the test of time and history.
