There was a welcome you to, but after the pride and cheered by the crowd, we have to reexaming Ho-Pin Tung, and the story behind him.
Immigrant families
The gethering is the wings to fly, by poisons the from the beginning, Ho-Pin Tung as far as the soul, the mind and the strength to weave the dangerous and fantastic dreams.
The story begins with a typical immigrant families.
Ho-Pin Tung was born in Shanghai, is parents immigrated from Wenzhou Donald border town ni”ana mbere. Family has always been to parents in the restaurant, serve as the management of the economic situation is good.
Stock car racing has always been the mainstream of Europe and America, continue to the ears of the movement of ingrefient looking for the “ always like my bike ride very fast ” boy, before you know it”s in love with on the race track.
At the age of 14, Ho-Pin Tung can very skillfully Chinese restaurant that van.
“ We then bought a van, although not very large, but is better than a normal car. In the Park the place always back to go out, I always it”s not good. On one occasion, pitangu yongbin is to unlock the car, let me down, he said that let him, I really can”t believe that he is only 14 years old. At first I refused, but he insisted on or about to start, I just let him try it out. Ho-Pin Tung ” Dong (father) recalls.
Waitpending yongbin after that he should be able to hang up and did a reverse, tune-up mirror, and then back out of the the , immediately knowing in which Mr Tung dumbfounded.
And it is precisely that year, the Ho-Pin Tung formally started practicing popkart, the same year contact formula and start initiation to Formula 1 racing this highest dreams and, above all, to the mansion.
Maybe it was realized that his son in racing talent, Mr Tung later agreed to give up his studies at the request of his son, Ho-Pin Tung became a professional driver.
Gethering road
Rugged Federation of Hong Kong on the way, we met a lot of people will experience a lot of things, will have a lot of memory. Looking to have a name occasionally but those reasonable efforts by taking pictures for the years to come.
In a conversation, a reporter asked Ho-Pin Tung, “ you find as a Chinese person has a natural in the field of the racing downside? ”
Ho-Pin Tung “ put it this way: this is not a law, as long as you work hard enough, so why not successful? ”
And a lot of talented driver, Ho-Pin Tung from popkart to the equation changes almost always been smooth.
At the age of 18, Ho-Pin Tung began to try to match up with a formula. That year, he met the present agents”intelligence vinkler, which started with a take part in the formula Ford, Formula BMW Europe, and so on in the game.
After Ho-Pin Tung quickly, 2003 is to give up college specializationin racing. The same year, he participated in Formula BMW Asia competition and agreed for the whole year 14 station 10 Championships, and won the F1 team of training opportunities. Later, Ho-Pin Tung in F3 race to grow up, and in 2006, the German F3 championship race of the year.
At that time, the ploymoent always continuity, as well as precision judgementwas regaut competition. Stabilization and precise is Ho-Pin Tung”s style, no matter how results. “ He never appeared in a hurry, ” the t, writesthat, “ has had so much but if you take a closer look him in the corner at high speed, he never seems to have accelerograph, his
akes better than anyone else. These words are so ” goes without saying that, in evaluating the peak of Schumacher, or of the Seine.
The seal of China
He is still very young, meander life; he and all the young people to dream, shirking dead and refused to be shacles; he is growing up in overseas, but always up a red flag.
All year round in a European competition, Ho-Pin Tung has developed a very self-disciplined lifestyle: never try to stay up late, but to find time to carry out physical exercise; wine and coffee is taboo, he never touch.
In the young man, you can see healthy, simple and honest, ubiquitous China marks.
Ho-Pin Tung are now held by the Dutch passport, but he at any occasion represents himself as “ thoroughly Chinese ”. From an early age, he has to know the food as their favorite, wherever he is provehis the identity of the Chinese people in the past, participate in any game in the upper-right corner for handkerchiefwith the red flag of China, his racing body is the selection of a
ight red flag.
The Chinese language is very well, but Ho-Pin Tung said “ will step up the Chinese language practice ” the in the Netherlands, he hired a teacher of Chinese, just because the relationship between work, often fly to different countries, the study also is not very choppy.
And last played in the bird?s of the large number of the reporter”s face, he said, “ to study Mandarin Chinese to me is a long way to go, (and then use the Chinese say) ‘ but I will soon learn ’. ”
The city of Fame and fortune
As you know, Ho-Pin Tung order.become leinuo, far from the surface.
Behind the scenes of car manufacturers are aimed at the Chinese market. But if we emphasize that China faces, is without doubt the ability of the individual. So, bear “ China”s first person ” b-d-n-o-n-d ready to set foot in formula 1 city of constructthe, fame and fortune, we are more interested in is that the future will arise Ho-Pin Tung?
Accumulated results that fall under the rubric of solid, Ho-Pin Tung during these years has been working with F1 falling in and out. F1 duochen Burnie they forecast, Ho-Pin Tung will formula 1 driver.

Once the rise to fame, life is like fast forward key was pressed, he found he couldn”t fly go up. Concerns with this door was open, the world behind the door, the number of temptation and fame.
In addition to the race track, people always paid tribute to the Ho-Pin Tung: Agent- humility and smile, his father a son has a “ carefree personality ”. But behind the softnessof character, he is also a strong negotiator.
We all know, Ho-Pin Tung is a happy face-up sports and entertainment stars, famous and appearance, conditions contain all the particulars.
