The drawing vividly shows a runner who is making a spurt at the finishing line |
| [00:07.49] |
which is also a new point he will start from. |
| [00:10.47] |
In the drawing, the runner is running with painstaking effort around the track of a playground, |
| [00:17.24] |
sweat pouring down his face. |
| [00:19.42] |

The painter wants to tell us that, just like running, |
| [00:33.34] |
whatever we are doing, we should never stop making progress. |
| [00:37.33] |
First and foremost, it applies to individuals as in such a competitive world everybody is trying to get ahead. |
| [00:45.57] |
Furthermore, the country on the world should move forward in terms of politics, economy, and culture |
| [00:52.30] |
so that we Chinese as a nation can gain sustained respect from other peoples. |
| [00:57.56] |
Examples to prove the view are abundant. |
| [01:00.83] |
The most persuasive are the cases of famous athletes like Fu Mingxia and Deng Yaping, |
| [01:07.06] |
whose success is gained through non-stop efforts. |
| [01:10.61] |
By contrast, a lot of people choose to take a rest to enjoy their small success |
| [01:16.18] |
and thus lose the motivation for further achievement. |
| [01:20.03] |
In sum, keeping making progress should be the right attitude towards life |
| [01:25.28] |
and work for everybody and even for a country |
| [01:29.52] |
