Why do you want to run long distances on New Year's Day?

Form is greater than meaning. Sports activities are indispensable for New Year's activities. The government's long-distance running activities are mainly organized, with a large number of students and beautiful scenes, which is of little practical significance. The foundation of mass sports is declining year by year. For example, middle school students 1000 meter test is good, but the success rate is getting worse every year.

China's mass marathon is not as good as Hong Kong and Taiwan, or even as good as Korean and Japanese. Only by engaging in competitive sports can we win face. Didn't China win the first gold medal in the 2008 Olympic Games?
