-Just don't leave me along, Mr.Yu, OK? This is quite possibly one of the most embarrassing 1 things I've done. It seems like me in a zoo. Look around! Take a dip in the Yangtze. Oh, I have to go first? OK, I cross the Yangtze. It's very breath freshing.Mao swam across the Yangtze here. It was a clever bit of publicity 2 that helped his strong man image. President Putin does those sort of stances all the time, of course. I was only supposed to be portering around, having a quick dip.
-Oh, it encourages me. It's astonishing. Feel really the power of it. But after ten minutes or so, I found myself a third of the way across. A mad thought struck me. Meanwhile, Mr.Yu is getting a bit chilly 3.
-Mr.Yu is getting out of the river, now just left the rest of these in the river.
