A man paddled across the Yangtze River to cut his commute time, reducing it from an hour to just six minutes.<br /><br />In the video, shot in southern China’s Chongqing City on February 19, the 29-year-old man named Liu Fucao wears an orange lifejacket and stands on a paddleboard to row across the Yangtze River.<br /><br />Since Liu lived on the south bank of the river but his office was on the north bank, and it normally took him around one hour to get to work.<br /><br />So Liu, who had professional paddleboard training before, decided to paddle across the river to dramatically cut the commuting time to only six minutes, or a 90% reduction in time.<br /><br />Liu says he always wears a lifejacket and safety ropes on his legs when he makes the journey; though he does not paddle over the river on rainy days or holidays.
