I‘m soo honored to be interviewed and featured in the @newbalance China 2023 Running Movie, and to be given the opportunity to complete my first full marathon in New York City
Running is like a determined thing for me. It made me grow tentacles as an insect which allowed me to sense and touch the world. Also to be able to love and be loved. It is a symbol of strong vigor of life. And I think some things are just about believing. If you believe it, it will be there and life will always exist
With friends no matter old or new, may we all meet again because of running. And thanks again to all who produced and shoot this movie

FINALLY I finished my first full marathon in New York w/ @nyrr and @newbalance on Nov.05.2023. In 05:51:42
Thousands of words can't help me describe… Just can't stop the tears and the overflowing emotions.
I've developed the link w/ marathons for already 8 years but always participated in halfs, never a full one. I don't know if it's the fear of the unknown distance or if it's the panic of breaking my comfort zone. I was anxious for weeks before I ran. I knew I could do it, but still didn't trust my decision.
I don't know if it's the reality of what's happening that's keeping me from looking at it or if it's just too much emotional attachment, and I value too much, which also causes me not to have the courage to reacquaint myself with this sport.
I don‘t think it is the marathon that I can't face, but is the feeling I get when I reach the finish line. It's the feeling of finishing a stage and starting a new one.
Indeed, it's a happy process. But when it's all over and have to face the new, I'm still nervous and confused.
The world behind the door is so beautiful. I know I can push it open if I use all my strength. I know it's waiting for me to step through. But it takes courage. It takes determination. It takes dedication.
It takes a heartfelt belief. Believe in the good. Believe in the emotion of success or failure. Just believe. And the light that seems so far out of reach will come to me. To all of us🧡

I can write on and on for this… I also thought I will but when this moment really happened… there’s rly not that much more to say
Just to those who have a dream and try to do something:
“u don‘t need anyone’s understanding, time and the trials and tribulations you‘ve gone through will tell you that”
It’s been a dream for 10years
Gonna keep running no matter what and keep up w/ unknown challenges
（in 1 year the fulls will be crossed out… 3/8 to go）
First ever ultra trail run. 70 k with nearly 3,000 meters of climbing….
Cold nights, then burning sun and I was on the trail for over 15 hours… Along the way, I’ve seen people fall down, get heatstroke, drop out, and get cramps. rescue workers were all over the mountain…
But I guess sometimes you have to run to your limit… It hurts so much that you can’t even speak abt it. Then you realize that what you can’t let go of isn’t that heavy… This is a battle of body and will. It’s also a process of being hit hard by nature. I’m rly grateful that I am able to open my eyes and see what’s ahead of me. It’s not something you take for granted…
