The first marathon(马拉松) of the modern Olympic Games took place in 1896. Now marathon is a popular sport across China. Teenagers also take part in marathons actively.
Xu Qian is a 15-year-old boy from Duqian, Jiangsu. He loves running very much. He took first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Suqian Marathon on April 2, 2023. To get ready for the race, Xu had to train for months. He ran about 30 to 40 kilometres each week ahead of the run. "The 800- meter run at school is more about speed(速度),but marathon tests a runner's endurance and psychological quality(心理素质)," he said. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself to fight on.
Of course, kindness from the people is also important in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi took part in a 3-kilometre Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course(跑道)really encouraged her. "When things were hard, they cheered me on. The simple words ‘keep it up' meant a lot to me and I was encouraged to keep going to the end," Li said.

So this year, why not think about the different ways that you can show some extra kindness? Helping other people is guaranteed to make you feel happy, and here are a few easy ways to spread some love.

You don't have to spend money or buy gifts to show old people that they're important. Giving your time is also really valuable. You could help at a fundraising(筹备资金)event, have a weekly video call with a grandparent and look after them when they feel lonely.

People always notice a thoughtful or considerate act, whether it's sharing your sweets or making a cup of tea for your grown-ups. Small acts of kindness are a great way to make people feel special.

Sometimes we all need a few extra helping hands. Perhaps you could help a younger brother or sister with their homework, wash an elderly neighbor's car or offer to collect up books at the end of lesson. It might only take a few minutes, but it could make a big difference to someone's day.
