Zhang Xue competes during the 2023 Taklimakan Rally in Minfeng County of Hotan Prefecture, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, on May 30, 2023. Recently, a video went viral among Chinese motorcycling fans on social media, showing a brightly painted ZXMOTO motorcycle thundering past the finish line with an impressive lead of nearly four seconds. Thousands of miles away in southwest China's Chongqing, Zhang Xue stared at the live broadcast with tears running down his face. He had spent 20 years preparing for that moment. (Xinhua/Hu Huhu)
