What are you thinking while running. Silently counting the frequency of your breathing, or are you obsessively thinking about the pressure of life that you can't let go, or are you just taking the air and keep moving towards the distance, leaving only the oncoming wind whispering?

Hakone Ekiden, officially known as the "Tokyo Hakone Interfacing University Ekiden Race Walk", is a Japanese coaching relay race held every year on January 2-3. The relay race is divided into five zones (108 km) and the return race also has five zones (109.9 km), for a total of 217.9 km.

"Strong Wind Blows" tells the story of a group of teenagers with different personalities participating in Hakone Ekiden, why is this novel that seems to be a sports work so moving? The adaptation of the anime of the same name has also received praise from countless moviegoers (Douban score 9.6).

Kiyose Ash ii is the person who impressed me the most in the book, gentle and strong at the same time. In the world of reading, people are like the reality, all kinds of things, all kinds of beings, and even more artistic creations have a surreal strangeness, so some people are like the moonlight under the night sky, or the end of the relay race, which is the direction we expect to chase. Under the abnormal faith and enthusiasm of Ash Ii, such a group of seemingly unrelated teenagers were brought to the track of Hakone Ekiden, which looked so slim that it did not look like they would shine, but when their figures ran and appeared in the camera, you could feel the power of courage and freedom.

Why can't you just give up running?
Because the cells of the whole body are moving,
I want to feel the strong wind blowing.
