There is a train at 2:37 in the afternoon. There is one upper berth and one lower berth. I like to hide on the upper berth and read.

I actually fell asleep and took a nap. Dinner was beef pancakes.

Then I continued to have the cat on the top bunk, just in time to finish reading before lights out at ten o'clock in the evening.

2019.10.26(Saturday)

Arrive in Changsha at 9 a.m. and take the subway to Helong Sports Center to collect equipment.

The pattering autumn rain does not affect the mood of the runners at all. People receiving equipment, people posing next to Hunan floats, and people interacting with merchants to play games, the square is full of laughter and laughter at this moment.

There are many outsiders like us in the happy square, and we are crazy enough to play well.

I am a half-horse runner, and it will be fine to finish the race safely at 21.0975 kilometers, but this does not prevent me from chasing my dream of 42.195 kilometers. The wind is a bit strong and my hair is messy with the wind.

Dafang grabbed her neck and left the happy Helong Sports Center to go to the hotel she booked.

Haha, when I booked the hotel, I agreed that the straight-line distance was 1,300 meters. Baidu navigation showed that I needed to walk 2,600 meters. It's a good time to take a look at the street scene. On Renmin Middle Road in Yuhua District, Changsha City, there are many portraits of people, which are famous people from the world and their famous sentences. It's a very inspiring street.

Because of a marathon and self-study exams in recent days, the price of the hotel was naturally a lot higher. Fortunately, I booked early enough, the price was very favorable, and I even got a one-hour late check-out.

Except for the fact that it is a little far away from the Helong Sports Center, where the start starts tomorrow, everything else is fine.

There is authentic Hunan cuisine downstairs 20 meters away from the hotel. One serving of Changsha stinky tofu roasted cowboy bones, and one serving of spicy stir-fried lotus root tips. The promised ones are slightly spicy. Finally, the green peppers in the spicy stir-fried lotus root tips are all transformed. Dafang classmates are so spicy.

In the afternoon, I will go to Hunan No. 1 Normal University, which I have been longing for a long time.

I came to the former Chengnan Academy, which was founded in 1161. After many changes, it has become the current Hunan No. 1 Normal University.

The Jingchu resort has been extraordinary since ancient times. It is a place where dragons and tigers are hidden.

Xiangtan has excellent feng shui and outstanding talents emerge in large numbers, probably because of the right time and location.

The autumn rain continues, and the osmanthus fragrance is fragrant. This season, osmanthus is the most fragrant and sweet. The entire campus is filled with the sweet osmanthus fragrance.

The school motto is "To be a teacher of the people, be a student of the people first." Reading it word by word, I feel like Chairman Mao's quotations. Later, I discovered that the "First Normal School" and the school motto were written by Mao Zedong himself.

The first half of the campus is divided into five exhibition areas for tourists to visit. Although it is raining, it still cannot resist people's enthusiasm. There is an endless stream of tourists from the corridors, pavilions and exhibition halls.

Walking into this campus, I want to read ancient and modern books and plan for world affairs. The great man Chairman Mao not only studied at the First Normal School, but also taught at the First Normal School. During the holidays, he would read wordless books ~ without a penny, go to the farm, complete extracurricular practice with physical strength, and understand current affairs while seeking life. In today's words, it should be called study.

Winning the world and seeking welfare for the people is the ideal established by Chairman Mao when he was young.

Today we pay tribute to Mao Zedong in his youth!

Then, I checked in to the Hunan Province Museum and visited the famous Mawangdui. Poor Madam Xin Zhui had been lying quietly underground for more than two thousand years, but we were still disturbed.

The lacquerware, silk craftsmanship, and instrumental music of that era were of extremely high standards and of great ornamental value.

Go to Taiping Old Street in the evening. Jia Yi's former residence is on this lively street. Wen Heyou's stinky tofu is blooming everywhere. There are queues to buy stinky tofu, people queuing to buy sugar and oil cakes, and various queues.

You can also eat fresh and cheap oysters in the old street. Ten oysters only cost 28 yuan.

A small Taiping Old Street, Jia Yi's Former Residence, Farmers 'Bank, Mobil Central Bank, Taiping Granary, Jiangxi Guild Hall, Qianyisheng Grain Warehouse, Wenyou and Stinky Tofu, Banxian Doufu, Stone Mill Soymilk, Black Classics, Sugar and Oil Baba... Here the ancient and modern are intertwined, tourists are crowded with each other, and modern people continue to interpret the ancient prosperity of the past.

Continue to watch the night scene at night and come to Huangxing Middle Road. The streets are littered with neon lights and tall buildings, which are more modern. Like the old street, Changsha stinky tofu is everywhere. However, the old street is mainly Wenheyou, and here is mainly Luojia. Finally I saw a sugar and oil cake family that did not queue up. They hit it off with Dafang students. The two stood in front of the stall and inquired. Before they could get the sugar and oil cake, a line formed behind them. Are people here addicted to queuing?

We can't linger in the prosperity. We are here to run a marathon. Retreat.

2019.10.27(Sunday)

In the marathon in Changsha, the holy land of Jingchu, we had a beautiful rain.

If you choose to run in the rain or in the high sun, I prefer sunny days, even if you are sunburned.

However, it is raining today, so why does the continuous autumn rain not stop?

As soon as I left the hotel, I asked Dafang to call a taxi for a good reason. I didn't want my running shoes to get soaked now. Good steel should be used on the blade, and dry shoes should be used on the track.

As soon as I got a taxi, a little girl chased after me and hoped to hitch a ride. The little girl was a junior student. In order to race, she stayed at her brother's house last night, which was close to the starting point of the running track. Speaking of regrets about the rain, the little girl said it didn't matter. The excitement of running would make people ignore the continuous autumn rain.

Runners gathered in the check-in area one after another. The light rain really did not seem to affect everyone's good mood. At this moment, Helong Sports Square is like a jubilant Xiangjiang River, which has accumulated enough energy and is ready to rush forward at any time.

The run started at 7:30, and Dafang repeatedly warned me to abandon the race if the rain rained heavily and not to try to be strong. Then, he ran forward to have fun, and slipped away as if the soles of his feet were smeared.

When everyone ran to the head of Orange Island and the large sculpture of young Mao Zedong appeared in front of the runners, people became excited again.

At this moment, runners are all looking for the best place to pose for photos. I like to follow the crowd, so I hurriedly invited people to take photos and continue moving forward. I am here to run.

Chairman Mao's quotes ~"Develop sports and enhance people's physique".

Today, tens of thousands of people join hands to compete at the head of Orange Island, and we are down-to-earth practitioners.

Chairman Mao's poem "Qinyuan Spring Changsha" is being played on the radio in the Juzizhoutou Scenic Area. Every word and sentence exudes a light of power. This section is about ten kilometers long. It not only has the most pleasing scenery, but also a section The most exciting runway is the travel destination I have been longing for a long time.

The Yuelu Academy I passed by can only be viewed from afar this time. I will visit it next time I come to Changsha.

West Lake Park is the end. Dafang students looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally they looked forward to me. They asked me why I was so slow. I said that I was too interested in playing, and everyone told each other that the end was coming soon and would not be locked out. Take it slow, so it was a little slow...

If you have the guts, take your time! At this moment, the game is over! Good!

I can't remember what was in the finish bag. Anyway, the last picture was a photo of the competition bag and the finish bag, the competition manual, the competition uniform, the large raincoat, energy glue, antipyretic paste, duck neck, goat milk slices, small gluten, dried bean curd, Fuling pickled mustard,...

Some of them have been killed.

Today's subway is open to all runners for free until 6 p.m.. First, they went back to the hotel and then "ordered a fish head". They ordered a slightly spicy fish head with chopped pepper. After tasting it, they felt that it was not spicy enough, so they asked the store to add peppers. After eating them, they felt that it was not as spicy as usual.

I originally wanted to go to the "former site of the Xinmin Society", but the time was a little rushed, so I went to Tianxin Pavilion, which is closer to the hotel.

Located in the southeast corner of the center of Changsha City, at the intersection of Chengnan Road and Tianxin Road, Tianxin Pavilion is a tower on the ancient city wall of Changsha. It stands on the top of Longfu Mountain, the highest terrain in Changsha. It was built in the late Ming Dynasty. It is the essence of Tianxin Park. It is a three-story attic with a height of nearly 15 meters. The chestnut cornices are very eye-catching. I like the little stone lions on the railings in the pavilion most, especially those with their hips facing the sky. They are very cute.

There are famous calligraphy and paintings in the pavilion, as well as introductions to famous Chinese pavilions and famous city walls.

"Water and land continents are tied to boats, and the boats move the continent but not move; Tianxin Pavilion houses pigeons, but the pigeons fly but not fly." Li Dongyang's famous line in the Ming Dynasty is sung to the world because of its neat antithesis and wonderful words.

The two cannons on the ancient city wall tell the world that this place has always been an important place for military commanders. In 1852, Xiao Chaogui, the Western King of the Taiping Army, led his troops to attack Changsha and fought fiercely with the Qing army. He was killed under Tianxin Pavilion.

Admission to this feng shui treasure place usually costs 32 yuan, and today it is open to our horse runners for free.

Instead of going to Tianxin Pavilion, it is also very pleasant to stroll around Tianxin Park. The park is open for free.

When taking the bus, I found that the bus station here is very environmentally friendly.

Transfer to the subway and then transfer to the maglev to the airport. The maglev fare is 20 yuan per person. Is this price reasonable?

I returned to my nest at ten o'clock in the evening.

A good night's sleep!
