<h1 class = "ql-align-center" > face maker</h1>
"Front Runners" focuses on the special group of runners in the marathon race, who have the same physical fitness and technical essentials as the athletes, but their existence is not to create good results, let alone to reach the podium, but to use their own sweat to inspire the participating athletes to complete the 42.195km long schedule. The front runner symbolizes silent dedication, helping others to achieve honor, but keeping the bitter sweat to themselves. The film no longer uses the contestants themselves as the object of portrayal, but focuses on the often overlooked frontrunners, showing the bitter and ironic fate of these special athletes who are doomed to be unable to participate in the whole process.
