喧江雷鼓鳞甲动，三十六龙衔浪飞。2024年6月2日，安盛天平“逐浪前行”龙舟队激情出战2024陆家嘴金融城第五届龙舟赛。

招募队员的邮件得到了积极响应，最终由来自IT、理赔客服、稽核、渠道和意健险服务中心的10名同事组成“逐浪前行”龙舟队，他们分别是领队兼鼓手：鲁中云；队员：杨威、刘守涵、范豪杰、叶琳、龚鹏、艾鹏乐、焦明珠、严宇智、牛巧变。队伍中不乏经验丰富的选手，他们技术娴熟，无论是划桨、协调或是配合都非常默契，曾经在之前多次的龙舟比赛中获得过优异成绩；而首次参赛的新人尽管经验不足，但凭借着高昂的热情和斗志，全力以赴贡献自己的力量，为了荣誉和胜利而战。
队伍在赛前进行了两次训练，一次试水。烈日炎炎下，队员都严格遵守时间，配合默契。
比赛当天，随着发令枪响，安盛天平“逐浪前行”龙舟队所有选手都全力出击，伴随着鼓点声声与岸边的加油助威，中流击水，浪遏飞舟，这一刻安盛人的斗志与活力充分彰显。赛场上强手如云，不乏常年训练的专业队伍。面对挑战，“逐浪前行”龙舟队精诚合作，团结一心，不仅顺利完赛更取得了史上最佳成绩——比去年快了13秒，甚至领先今年季军0.24秒。但由于赛制规则，被分在“死亡之组”的我们与奖杯擦肩而过，但遇强则强已充分体现了团队的坚韧与顽强，相信来年必将突破自我，再创佳绩！
On June 2, 2024, the AXA Tianping’s Dragon Boat Team named “Sailing Forward” enthusiastically participated in the 5th Lujiazui Financial City Dragon Boat Race in 2024.
Hosted by the Comprehensive Party Committee of Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone in Shanghai, the General Union of Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone in Shanghai, and the Comprehensive Youth League Committee of Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone in Shanghai, this dragon boat race attracted 7 participating teams coming from various enterprises and institutions in Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone. Joining the race for four consecutive years, AXA Tianping hopes to convey its solidarity and perseverance while expressing its best wishes to the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France and the 25th anniversary of AXA’s establishment in China.
The recruitment email received positive responses from IT, claims customer service, audit, distribution, and health. Leader and Drummer Zhongyun LU，together with Wei YANG, Shouhan LIU, Haojie FAN, Lin YE, Peng GONG, Pengle AI, Mingzhu JIAO, Yuzhi YAN, and Qiaobian NIU some of whom were experienced players that have achieved excellent results in previous raches, teamed up this year for a better coordination and teamwork. Although the newcomers lack experience, they are fully committed with high enthusiasm and fighting spirit, contributing their strength to fight for honor and victory.
The team underwent two training sessions and a water trial before the competition. All participants adhered strictly to the schedule and cooperated seamlessly in spite of the hot weather.
Ye Lin, “The training was tiring, but no one complained. We arrived on time and spared no efforts paddling, although my back couldn’t bend and my legs couldn’t lift. Everyone took it seriously has put a lot of efforts in it. I would like to express my gratitude and my love to all of them.”
On the day of the competition, with the sound of the starting pistol, all the AXAers of “Sailing Forward” Dragon Boat Team put in their full effort. Accompanied by the sound of the drumbeat and the cheering from the sidelines, they struck the water despite the waves that were holding back the flying boat. There was nothing but AXAers’ spirit and vitality that was demonstrated.
The competition was fierce as there were professional teams that had been trained for years. Facing the challenges, the “Sailing Forward” Dragon Boat Team cooperated sincerely and united as one. Not only did they complete the race smoothly, but they also achieved their best result in history – 13 seconds faster than last year and even 0.24 seconds ahead of this year’s third-place team. However, due to the competition rules, we were in the “Group of Death” and narrowly missed the trophy. But our resilience and tenacity in facing strong opponents have stood out. We believe that in the coming year, we will definitely break through and achieve even better results!
Mingzhu JIAO: “It is my first time participating the race. I am touched by the solidarity and the conviviality of the team. The training was highly effective and we all got along with each other. During the competition, we all gave our best, and hang in there despite the challenge. It has been quite an inspiring and encouraging experience for me.”
Lin YE: “I knew that the other teams were so much stronger but no one from our team gave in. We all did our best and made our way to the final stage, thanks to our perseverance and insistence.”
Lin YE: “We were a bit anxious in the group competition and were not performing well, but we adjusted ourselves in time, and have summed our ‘lessons learned’ after the competition. We pulled together as a team in the semifinal, and improved by 4 seconds despite our physical exhaustion, achieving our best result in history. Our team members are just amazing!”
