More Than Just Running

With the rise of marathon, cross-country, hiking, and ancient post road orienteering competitions, sports are playing an increasingly important role in promoting rural revitalization. Many event operating organizations have brought sports events from cities to villages and mountains, bringing more popularity, tourism and consumption to rural areas. Sports + tourism has increasingly become a healthy lifestyle pursued by many urbanites, and it has also brought more development opportunities to rural areas. From the perspective of sports, the novel tells the story of a university track and field coach's rural teaching, research and a love story, the story of two rural teenagers' long-distance running, and the story of two former college lovers who chose different paths in life after graduation but met again because of a cross-country race. Life is like a marathon, not only running, but also yearning for a better life in the future.
