"The World Half Marathon Championships, originally scheduled for March 27, 2022 in Yangzhou, China, will take place on Sunday, November 13, 2022."
This is the news that the event has been postponed. In the current stage of the postponement of the game like a domino, which domino fell is a common news. But the news still caught my attention.
March 27, 2022, there is still half a year to go before now, which is early! By then, the pandemic may be no longer a threat.
November 13, 2022, a full year away! Explicitly pointing the postponement to a date a year later is also rare in postponement events.
Yangma is in a hurry to postpone it now, why? The reason for this is not said, we do not know.
What we know is that the beautiful verse of "fireworks in Yangzhou in March" makes the Yangzhou Half Marathon the most poetic and beautiful when it is held in this season.
Even the first sentence of this poem, "The Yellow Crane Tower of the Late Western Words", is the same, and the Wuhan Marathon is also held in this season to have the most flavor.
Yangma is also a world half marathon championship, and there are foreigners mixed up. It's going to be a foreigner, right? As soon as Yangma is international, it has less Chinese flavor, which is a pity.
I have some relationship with Yangzhou. The place where I went to the countryside from Nanjing was Zhuzhen Commune, Liuhe County, Jiangsu Province. Historically, the affiliation of Liuhe County has oscillated between Nanjing and Yangzhou. We call ourselves Liuhe Zhiqing. As for whether Liuhe returns to Nanjing or Yangzhou, it does not have much to do with us who know the youth. Even if he returned to Yangzhou and later returned to the city, Nanjing Zhiqing would not go to Yangzhou, but could only return to Nanjing. At present, Liuhe County still belongs to Nanjing, and is already a district of Nanjing, not called Liuhe County, but Liuhe District.
At that time, we had some relations with Yangzhou, and once belonged to the Yangzhou region. Yangzhou regional radio station recruitment, Liuhe is also within the scope of recruitment. My sister (we went to the countryside together in Liuhe) went to take the exam. In the end, it didn't work out. If she goes, maybe she is now a Yangzhou native or a former Yangzhou native.
My sister and I are very nostalgic. In 2017, we participated in the Nanjing Liuhe Bamboo Town Half Marathon and returned to the village where we went to the countryside to see it. If my sister has worked in Yangzhou, then Yangma is the race we must run.
Yang Ma has not run yet. I hope to run a Yangzhou Half Marathon in March with the most poetic fireworks. Reminiscing about the past: Just for us who were once short-lived Yangzhou people.
