Running

Peter Hessler's race or the White Crane Bridge section in this response. What especially interests you about one or both of these?  Why? 

 I was captivated by Peter Hessler's race that was in this section.  He seem to had really found something that he he clearly enjoyed doing and he didn't let his thoughts keep him for doing it or what others may thought about seeing him run. I was astonished by how he visually describes the surroundings of the race course -the deadly cliffs they run beside. In sections he says this statement " that's when the race becomes a chase.- one man against the rest of the field- and I've always felt that this is the loneliest feeling in the world. With me being a film and Video major and also being a visual understanding person, I could see everything that he was describing vividly through my own eyes. As if I was running the race with him. Crossing that finish line and winning must have proved to himself and others that you can do anything that put your mind to. Towns or college people could not call  a "waiguoren".  For someone that could have gotten injuried becuase he was being carelesss about going to get an x-ray of his chest. It not like the x-ray would have hindered him from completeing the race.  However, he just went out their on the course without the mandatory x-ray and just ran and won as well. You could tell that Peter enjoyed the participation .
