real adventure

When Haizi committed suicide while lying on the rails, he brought four books, "Kon Tiki (The Raft and the Ocean)" is one of them. Can you believe this was an exam question?
It tells the author Thor's personal experience in the 1940s, a real story, the legendary story of crossing the Pacific Ocean by raft from Peru to the Polynesian islands!
Because I was very curious, I wanted to buy it and have a look, but I didn't expect it to be out of print! So I placed an order on Taobao and...

A brave voyage

In 2012, the sea adventure feature film "Lonely Raft", filmed by Norway, told the thrilling journey of the six-person Tiki bamboo raft across the Pacific Ocean. The voyage was initiated by the protagonist, Captain Ball, to prove that the Polynesian aboriginal ancestors came from South America rather than Asia, as commonly believed by contemporary intellectuals. One of the basis for Bol's bold vision is that the local pineapples are the same variety as the pineapples in Peru, South America....

Revisiting the Lonely Raft (2014.6.13)

Drifting in the endless sea, this leaves only loneliness. This is a true story. The protagonist Thor once heard the story of Tiki from an old tribal chief, so he organized a team to go again. Tiki's route back then was to prove that the Polynesians were actually South Americans. To restore the raft of primitive humans, Thor and his friends built a raft with ropes and logs without using modern tools at all. , before departure, people came to the shore to see them off, and their journey...

A solitary courage to the end of the world

The life of legendary explorer Heyerdahl and the true story of his 1947 journey across the Pacific on an improvised raft. In other words, it's a story about never giving up on chasing your dreams. In fact, when I watched the movie, I felt that their group was unreliable, whether it was the male protagonist who couldn't swim and had to use a raft to cross the Pacific Ocean, or the fat man took a harpoon and poked a shark, threw away the tied wire, reported everything by radio, and was caught...

From modern times back to ancient times - "The Lonely Raft"

When human shipbuilding technology was not yet fully developed, the ocean was an absolute moat. Compared with the tranquility, kindness, joy of life and the development of civilization brought by inland rivers, the ocean is often synonymous with danger and mystery. The boundless water surface and the unpredictable weather are a great deterrent to life on land, but at the same time have a fatal attraction.
After a decade of anthropological investigations on the island of Polynesia,...

Movie quotes

Thor Heyerdahl: [Taking with two sailors in a bar, showing them a drawn about a raft] A dozen logs or so, big balsa wood logs, and a hut for five crew. All very capable, of course. The mast, the rudder, there you go: the Kon-Tiki.

Sailor: [angry] I spent 22 days on a raft. We have torpedoed. North Atlantic, winter of '43. You can't sail it or steer it. All you can do is sit there and wait to die. These logs... they are going to move against each other in the waves and eventually they are going to break the lashings. And you will each be sitting on a log floating your separate ways at the mercy of the elements.

Thor Heyerdahl: [ashamed] Thank you for your time.
Knut Haugland: [after he saves Herman in the wáter, both sit down on the raft] Three years ago, I shot four men. The Gestapo found me with a radio.

Herman Watzinger: [laconic] It was war.

Knut Haugland: That's what Torstein says. He helped sinking the Tirpitz, but that doesn't bother him. Thank you.

Herman Watzinger: [confused] You're the one who saved my life.

Knut Haugland: That's what I mean. Thank you.
Knut Haugland: [about how to avoid Raroia Reef to arrive mainland] What alternatives do we have?

Herman Watzinger: We could try to surf over.

Knut Haugland: [skeptic] Surf?

Herman Watzinger: [taking paper and pen to drawn it] Yes. Waves come in cycles of 13. Every 13th wave is substantially greater than the ther. When we are close to the reef we throw out an anchor, something heavy that can keep the raft in place.

Erik Hesselberg: And then?

Herman Watzinger: Then we count the waves. And just before the 13th wave we cut the rope, and hopefully, surf over the reef. It could work.

Thor Heyerdahl: [looking Herman] I like it. Let's do it. That's what we'll do.
