Speaking of Guilin, you will definitely think of 'Guilin's scenery is the best in the world,' but my thoughts have always been limited to this dry sentence. I have never imagined what makes Guilin's scenery truly the best in the world.

When I was in school, my grades were average, and my Chinese teacher's interpretation did not evoke a deep longing for Guilin, the best in the world. But then again, without seeing Guilin with my own eyes, how could I truly understand its unique beauty?

On November 10th, I hurriedly went to Guilin over the weekend. Having been to the rugged Tibet, the delicate Yunnan, and the livable Shandong, I can say that Guilin is enchanting. Even the cormorants on Elephant Trunk Hill are charming.Cormorantsare like this too. Tourists line up to placecormorantson their shoulders, and one photo after another is captured by cameras.cormorantsare recorded by cameras in this way.

Istrolled along the shaded paths of Rongshan Lake, watching the tourists come and go, and seeing the cormorant owners busily helping visitors take photos with the birds. I found this scene quite interesting. Even with heavy commercialization, Guilin remains gracefully unhurried.

In the enchanting Guilin, I decided to be delicate for once and run the Guilin Marathon in a qipao. The qipao follows the times, carries civilization, connects the past and the future, and bridges life and art, combining beautiful aspirations with aesthetic charm. So, I arranged my second qipao marathon in the long-desired Guilin.

On the Guilin marathon track, I met two sisters running in qipaos. They paid even more attention to the consistency between their qipaos and hairstyles, fully showcasing their beauty. It seems that the qipao has long been integrated into our lives.

Along the way, I heard people on both sides of the track saying, 'Can you really run a marathon in a qipao? Tsk tsk tsk.'

As I ran, I thought, perhaps there is nothing that cannot be done. The only thing that cannot be done is what you haven't thought of. If you think of it, you can definitely do it.

I completed this qipao marathon with a gun time of 5:21:01 and a net time of 5:06:31.

I often run 5.21 km, but I have never run a time of 5:21. The Guilin Marathon fulfilled my long-held wish.

By giving yourself beautiful expectations, life will gradually improve. If you bloom, the breeze will come; if you face the sun, you will be fearless of sorrow.

The Guilin Marathon was also an unexpected rain battle.

Although I had been monitoring the weather changes a week in advance, and the day before the race was sunny, I was secretly delighted that it wouldn't rain on race day. However, the weather is as fickle as a child's temper. Despite the five-plus hours of rain, I still had to complete my 20th marathon.

There is a saying, 'People in the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to come in.'

Life is truly wonderful and lovely. I used to say I wanted to run a marathon in the rain, but now, with one unexpected rain after another, I have become timid and afraid, fearing that it will disrupt my stable life.

During my first rain battle marathon, I ran quietly on the track. Apart from running forward in the rain, there was no other option unless I quit and got on the support vehicle. However, if a little rain scares you, then you are really being too delicate. In my hometown dialect, we would say, 'You are too cowardly.'

I remember when I finished my first marathon, my dad said to me, 'It's great that you persevered. The important thing is to participate.'

The first rain battle, playing in the rain, had a unique charm and was very enjoyable.

A rain battle marathon is like the tricky difficulties in life; they always need to be solved. If you just give up, the problems will still be there, and one day you will have to spend time solving them. In life, avoiding problems is not a solution. In a rain battle marathon, you must not avoid it; you must fight to the end.

In my article, I want to especially thank my classmate Jiabin. From his every word and action, you can feel that he is excellent in every way. Being a person like water, doing things like a mountain. Water is pure, transparent, light, soft, and amiable; mountains are handsome, steady, solid, stubborn, and resilient. As the old saying goes, 'The sea embraces all rivers, and its capacity is great; the wall stands a thousand feet tall, and its strength comes from being desireless.' This describes the qualities of water and mountains. Jiabin indeed has such a realm and sentiment in my heart.

Because of you all, I have had the most beautiful times.

I wish that the sun would be warm, the wind would be cozy, time would be gorgeous, and we would be fine.
