The 11th Zheng-Kai marathon, eleven years of Boer
Abstract
The article links Boer's 11th year to the 11th Zheng-Kai International Marathon through the runner's race number A0281 — 2+8+1=11: the 11th Zheng-Kai and eleven years of Boer. The Zheng-Kai race is held close to Boer's founding anniversary, so finishing the Zheng-Kai medal has gradually become a natural birthday tribute; whenever races clash, the author chooses Zheng-Kai.
The article highlights the medal designs' auspicious motifs — ruyi jade pendant, gourd (fortune), elephant (auspiciousness), auspicious clouds and longevity peach — and congratulates Wen Yi on finishing safely, wishing Boer a happy birthday and a new start from year eleven.
