The drawing vividly shows a runner who is making a spurt at the finishing line which is also a new
point he will start from.In the drawing,the runner is running with painstaking effort around the
track of a playground,sweat pouring down his face.On both sides of the runner,there are two poles
and a line between them.On the ground,there are two signs that say "ENDING" and "STARTING".The
painter wants to tell us that,just like running,whatever we are doing,we should never stop making
progress.First and foremost,it applies to individuals as in such a competitive world everybody is
trying to get ahead.Furthermore,the country,on the whole,should move forward in terms of politics,
economy,and culture so that we Chinese as a nation can gain sustained respect from other peoples.
Examples to prove the view are abundant.The most persuasive are the cases of famous athletes like
FU Mingxia and Deng Yaping,whose success is gained through non-stop efforts.By contrast,a lot of
people choose to take a rest to enjoy their small success and thus lose the motivation for further
achievement.In sum,keeping making progress should be the right attitude towards life and work for
everybody and even for a country.
