Chen Jie, Communist Party secretary of HIT and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, noted that the event has become an "ark" for promoting cultural exchange and understanding between young people from China and the UK.

"In traditional Chinese culture, the dragon boat symbolizes unity, progress, and excellence, which aligns closely with the British values of courage, courtesy, and responsibility," said Chen.

"The unique medium of ice dragon boats connects Cambridge and Oxford, with their rich history of rowing, to HIT, known for its century-long excellence in engineering."
