Abstract

A tribute to a running friend, Old Yang, who passed away on 9 March; the two had met through running and had dinner together after the Honghua Lake Marathon in January and the Guangzhou Marathon the year before, and had been planning to meet again at the Guiyang and Lanzhou marathons.

The author recounts Old Yang's orderly life story — from a poor family through a good university (Lanzhou University) to a stable job (Huizhou Telecom) and a comfortable middle-class family — and reflects on mid-life stress, the author's conclusion being to accept setbacks in work and life as normal, and to avoid extra financial burdens.
