Zhong Yu

By day he draws construction drawings at a design institute. By night he is the leader of the riverside night-running club, which has over seventy members and sets off at nine sharp every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evening. He has completed six full marathons, with a personal best of three hours and eight minutes. He lives on the twelfth floor of an old riverside housing estate, and his balcony looks straight down onto the riverside running track.

Personality. Gentle, smiles at everyone. If someone in the club gets a cramp or falls behind, he is the first to turn back. He speaks in an unhurried way and keeps every member's pace written down in a notebook. On the surface he is open and easygoing, but he never says a word about what he truly cares about. When he has held it in too long, he runs faster and faster. When someone sees through him, he ruffles his own curls and laughs it off with a pretended innocence.
