When it comes to Malaysia, the Strait of Malacca is very famous, and Xiao Fang wants to take Zhou Sen to take a look.

Malacca is an important international trade port in Malaysia in modern times, and the Singapore Strait is only a small section of it, its western section belongs to the Myanmar Sea, and the southeast end connects to the South China Sea.

With a total length of about 1,080 kilometers, the widest part of the strait is 370 kilometers in the northwest, and only 37 kilometers in the narrowest part of the Singapore Strait in the southeast.

This geographical location is very important, Zhou Sen has always wanted to come and see it before, Xiao Fang took Zhou Sen to see it, and he was really happy to see it with his own eyes.

"Wow, it's huge!"

Liu Dazhuang took the camera, filmed the beautiful picture, and introduced to Zhou Sen that the Strait of Malacca is the most important energy transportation channel for Japan, China and South Korea, and is the "lifeline of the sea", which is the long and narrow sea area in the southeast of the Myanmar Sea, connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the west coast is the island of Sumatra to which Indonesia belongs, and the east coast is the southern part of West Malaysia and the Kingdom of Thailand, which is an international waterway connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, and is also the crossroads of Asia and Oceania.

The Strait of Malacca is named after the trading port of Malacca on the coast of Malaya, which was an important port in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Zhou Sen watched the ships here drive by, busy transportation, because the geographical location here is very important, attracting people's attention, mentioning this strait, Malaysians know, a household name, Dean Zhang reminded Zhou Sen before coming to Malaysia to see the Strait of Malacca.

If you haven't seen the Strait of Malacca, you can't say you've ever been to Malaysia.

In front of nature, Zhou Sen felt that heroic, spectacular, standing here, stretching out his arms, feeling the sea breeze caressing his face, so comfortable, Zhou Sen used to live in a big city, rarely came to see the sea, busy work, life is full, rarely have the opportunity to go abroad for interviews, this is a difficult task for him.

Before he came, he didn't know if he had the ability to complete the task, Dean Zhang's ardent expectations for him, Zhou Sen respected Dean Zhang very much, and also knew that Dean Zhang trusted him, so he gave him such a task.

Zhou Sen has completed the filming of many programs before, that is, his excellent work performance, and won the trust of Dean Zhang, Zhou Sen also has his own requirements for himself, his creed is either not to do it, but to do it well.

So this time he took over the interview task, he must complete it well, Zhou Sen attaches great importance to the filming of such an important "sea crossroads", and if he wants to complete this episode of the program, Zhou Sen must control the quality well.

Xiao Fang told Zhou Sen that this strait is very large, the main deep-water channel is biased to the east side of the strait, and there are huge ships with a navigable draft of 20 meters, so it is often seen that ships come and go, the terrain on both sides of the strait is low and flat, there are many mangrove beaches, and the siltation is vigorous, and the navigation history is as far as 2,000 years, which is an important link in the global route.

"More than 50,000 freighters, tankers and other vessels pass through this strait every year, and you think how spectacular it is!"

Zhou Sen nodded, "It is indeed very spectacular, there are very many cargo ships here, this is a very good trading port!"

Xiao Fang said: "But the terrain here must be very familiar, will select those captains who are familiar with the terrain to drive the giant ship, if you are not familiar with the terrain, the direction is wrong, it is easy to make mistakes, so you must be familiar with the terrain!"

Xiao Fang pointed out to Zhou Sen that the west coast of the strait is low and flat, with many swamps, muddy islands and mangrove beaches, and it is not easy for big ships to dock.

Xiao Fang and Zhou Sen said that the climate here, which also has an impact on transportation and trade, is also a key factor.

Zhou Sen nodded, "Xiao Fang, since I met you, I think you are really professional, you have accumulated a lot of knowledge, and you are worthy of being Dean Zhang's graduate student!"

was praised by Zhou Sen, Xiao Fang was also very happy, and when he introduced it, he worked harder.

"The Strait of Malacca is located in the equatorial windless zone, with high temperature and rain all year round, the wind is very small, and the average annual temperature is more than 25 °C, which is a common temperature in Southeast Asia, high temperature and rain, Malaysia has tropical rainforests, there are many plants and animals suitable for the tropics, and the living conditions are very rich. ”

"For most of the year, the wind is light, and violent storms may occur from April to May and October to November, but they generally last a short time, only tens of minutes, and there is little obstacle to the navigation of ships. ”

"So experienced captains look at the weather forecast in advance, and if the weather forecast says it's going to rain, they should avoid it to reduce the risk. ”

"Every industry has different professional knowledge, and the captain also has to know a lot, have professional knowledge, and have a wealth of knowledge, I often see some netizens on the Internet saying that reading is useless, and I want to refute them. ”

"Why do we study, from primary school to university, in fact, it is to understand the rules, have knowledge, and have talent, and when you grow up, you can rely on the long-term accumulation of knowledge reserves and learned skills to enter the society, and the society is a big classroom to test what you have learned in school for so many years. ”

"This classroom is not like the previous classroom with teachers, without the teacher's guidance, if you encounter difficulties in your work, you have to solve them yourself!"

The Strait of Malacca region has a hot and humid climate, with the northeast monsoon prevailing in winter and the southwest monsoon in summer, and the average annual rainfall gradually increasing in summer.

Zhou Sen nodded, " We used to attach great importance to land transportation, as long as the land route relied on railways and highways, and then we felt that aviation was also very important, and developed aviation, built a lot of airports, purchased a lot of large aircraft, sometimes ignored water transportation, thinking that water transportation lines are long, at sea will encounter weather reasons, or other uncontrollable reasons such as accidental tentacles capsizing, but also because ship transportation is much slower than aviation, there are various costs, when transporting, it will give priority to land transportation and air transportation, and ignore water transportation. ”

Xiao Fang nodded, "Yes, in a country like Singapore, which is geographically close to the sea, sometimes there is no way to transport it by land, so it is necessary to give priority to water transportation." ”

"Yes, a lot of goods are transported from the Strait of Malacca, which has a very important location, and also promotes Malaysia's maritime transportation, and connects the surrounding countries, and there needs to be trade between countries, especially in this era, everyone is more and more aware that the earth is flat, resources are exchanged, goods are traded, and it will become more and more prosperous. ”

"A community with a shared future for mankind, this is the core idea of the Belt and Road Initiative, I have been to many countries over the years, I have been to countries around Southeast Asia, I have also been to China, to become a student of Dean Zhang, Dean Zhang is erudite, is a very attained, knowledgeable economist, but also a university professor, it is my honor to worship him as a teacher!"

"Dean Zhang is not partial, I am a student from Malaysia, Xiao Yang is a student from Cambodia, Xiao Zhao is a student from Singapore to study in China, we are all from different countries in Southeast Asia, Dean Zhang is not discriminatory, both taught us valuable knowledge, let us learn a lot of things, I am still very grateful to my old teacher, if it were not for Dean Zhang's teaching, there would be no me now!" Xiao Fang said gratefully.
