Beijing Express: Ludovic has already seduced the hearts of Internet users by paying tribute to his mother (ZAPTV)

This Thursday, January 16, 2025, Beijing Express celebrated its 20th anniversary with a new season, titled The Route of the Legendary Tribes. Quickly, Ludovic won the hearts of Internet users with his determination, but also the tribute paid to his mother.

A new race. Just a few months after the victory of Jean-Claude and Axel, Beijing Express is already back on M6 with a new season, the 20th! 20 years ago, 10 pairs wrote the history of the show by trying to go from Paris to Beijing by hitchhiking and with only 1 euro per day and per person. Since then, the legendary race embodied by Stéphane Rotenberg has welcomed more than 200 candidates, across around fifty countries, and hundreds of thousands of kilometers covered!

For this 20th season, entitled The Route of the Legendary Tribesthe new pairs took the start of the race at the foot of Kilimanjaro. For this anniversary season, production has planned a few surprises, notably the return of the mystery passengers, after 11 years of absence. In the time of one step, personalities like Yoann Riou, Bruno Solo and Glenn Viel will race alongside a pair. For better or for worse!

Ludovic is the darling of Internet users

Among the candidates, many have already stood out, like Esmeralda and her hair extensions. For his part, Ludovic came alone. The latter will share the competition with Moâde. They thus form the pair of strangers, like Ryad and Louison in season 18. An accountant by profession, Ludovic has traveled little and knows little about non-European cultures. At the end of the first day, while peeling carrots, the young man couldn’t help but think of his mother.

“I think of my mother there… She forged my determination and my character. I don’t necessarily have a lot of friends, she is always there for me”shared Ludovic, with tears in his eyes. A speech which inevitably moved many Internet users. “Ludovic who succeeded in his adventure because he’s going to make his mother proud, it was magnificent”, “Ludovic, it pains me to say that he doesn’t have a friend… and as he talks about his mother it’s so beautiful “, “It hurts me too much Ludoviche has a monotonous little life and the way he talks about his mother is so cute and he seems seriously sensitive, the little father”, “Ludovic who after an hour makes us cry like shit while talking about his mother”we can read on X. It’s certain, Ludovic is already the darling of Internet users!
