Acknowledging oneself is God's help

In an era when sportsmanship was still monopolized by the aristocracy, the protagonist Abraham's practice of hiring a professional coach to guide him aroused the dissatisfaction of the school, who thought his practice was "too vulgar". As a result, Abraham bluntly pointed out: "In fact, your desire for victory is no less than mine, but you hope that you can win easily and be like God's help."
This sentence is really good. Why don't you admit to yourself? Why be so hypocritical and pretentious?
Sport is also a way of acknowledging yourself, and one of the best ways.

Abraham confessed to himself: his life was a battle. Running is his weapon to break the racism of others, so he fights tenaciously to win, and to bring down those who despise him.

Liddell admits to himself: his life is to guard. A descendant of a devoted missionary family, he believed that his talent for running came from the glory of God. So he kept running and felt the joy of God in the running. And in order to protect the faith, he refused to race on the Sabbath. During World War II, he came to China as a missionary and helped people in foreign countries in his own way, which is also a manifestation of protecting his faith.

There is also a supporting role that is very popular with the audience, the noble boy Lin Xi. Lindsay is loved by everyone because of his grace and generosity. Whether it's the qualifications for the competition or the girl he admires, he almost humbly gave up everything that others yearned for. In fact, the achievements of the two male protagonists are also thanks to his generosity and humility. Lin Xi showed the most typical aristocratic gentleman style: generosity to friends, and his life was infinitely elegant because of this generosity. Of course, this generosity and grace is also due to his clear understanding of his life - he already has everything, so he doesn't need to be too obsessed with one thing. For example, running is just a hobby for him, but it is a matter of life and death for his two friends, so why not give it to his friends? He is very aware that he has something to "let", so he let it go, and this transparent and open-minded about life is also enviable. Of course, he is not indifferent to everything, he also enjoys the joy of running and strives to win in the game. Of course, his elegance also lies in the fact that the hard work behind him will not tell anyone, just like when he was training hard in the hurdles, he still maintained his noble pride and placed champagne glasses on the hurdles.

Acknowledging your existence, and generously fighting for what you want, this is sports, and this is the joy of life.
