Foreign media: Encountering the new beliefs of the middle class in China, the movement of creating human beings is fading.

"Running is the new belief of the middle class in China" is Sun Jiahong's view. She is an intellectual property lawyer and a mother of five children. She thinks that China has finally crossed the national luck, that is, the era of … er … shopping.

According to the Financial Times website 65438+1October 7, Sun Jiahong said: "In the past 30 years, people have been driven by greed and money, and they don't care how to live a more meaningful life. She is the first woman in China to run a marathon on seven continents. " But in the last three or four years, running has become the belief of the middle class in China. Once the economy becomes independent, it will give more consideration to spiritual matters. China does not have many beliefs. She concluded that running "allows the middle class to find something meaningful in an empty life".

About 10 years ago, the organizers of the China Marathon were still trying to recruit enough contestants. Nowadays, in many big cities, applicants even need to draw lots to participate: last year, 65,438+10,000 people signed up for the whole or half marathon in Shanghai, but there were only 23,000 places. But Sun Jiahong hopes to further convey the runner's belief that she will organize 100 marathon in small and medium-sized cities in China. Her goal is to make 6.5438+0 million people run.
