"Looking forward to this exciting sports event!"
Anyang has a long history and splendid culture, and Anyang's first horse evokes the emotional resonance of young people and the ancient city. Many young faces appeared in "Anma". They come from high schools and colleges and universities, carry forward the spirit of perseverance and never give up, and are young strivers and dreamers of the times.
Six sports students from Yuzhou Tianyuan Senior High School told reporters that they have been paying attention to marathons across the country for many years, and finally successfully signed up this year, and Anyang became the place where they made their debut. This time is not only a marathon exercise, but also a tour, and he hopes to feel the cultural heritage of Anyang. Chen Shuozhuo, a high school student, said that they came to Anyang a day earlier to visit the Museum of Chinese Characters, and will also visit the Yinxu Museum after running the "half marathon".
Like this group of dream-chasing teenagers, there are many people who want to get to know Anyang through the event. One of them is Zhang Jidong, a 70-year-old who came from Sichuan to participate in the competition. He has already run 94 marathons before and has a good result among runners in his age group. This time, he and his running friends came to Anyang in advance and visited the Yinxu Museum. He said: "Anyang has beautiful scenery and loves the city. I heard that players can visit some state-owned scenic spots for free, but they have never been to Anyang before, so they must go to see it after the game. ”
How can you miss a sports event on your doorstep?" Because I love running, almost everyone in my running group signed up as soon as possible. The results are not important, the important thing is that this is a cultural journey, a journey to pursue dreams, and it is of great significance!" said Chen Wenjing, a 45-year-old citizen. Fan Pengtao, a citizen, told reporters after receiving the race bag: "The meaning of the marathon is to constantly surpass oneself, and when encountering difficulties, tell yourself to have the courage to break through." It's a home game and I'm full of confidence!"
In the eyes of different players, there are different "Anma". Some people think that this game is full of cultural flavor, some want to improve their physical fitness through the competition, and some want to increase their experience. Lee Chi Yuen, who signed up for the second time, is a graduate of a sports college and is now engaged in physical education. After the news of the marathon in his hometown was announced, he participated in the route planning and setting as a member of the Henan Provincial Athletics Association. He said: "Anyang has a rich history and culture, and the difference of 'Anma' is that it contains many cultural elements, such as the landmark buildings along the way that show the unique style of the city, which can let more foreign athletes know Anyang." The design of the medals and costumes also incorporates local cultural elements. "I usually like to run and do some strength training, but this time I was racing for my hobby, just to try the results. Zhang Yumiao, a citizen who signed up for the "Half Marathon", said.
