The drawing vividly shows a runner who is making a spurt at the finishing line which is also a new point he will start from. In the drawing, the runner is running with painstaking effort around the track of a playground, sweat pouring down his face. On both sides of the runner, there are two poles and a line between them. On the ground there are two signs that say "ENDING" and "STARTING". The painter wants to tell us that, just like running, whatever we are doing, we should never stop making progress. First and formost, it applies to individuals as in such a competitive world everybody is trying to get ahead. Furthermore, the country on the world should move forward in terms of politics, economy, and culture so that we Chinese as a nation can gain sustained repect from other peoples. Examples to prove the view are abundant. The most persuasive are the cases of famous athletes like Fu Mingxia and Deng Yaping, whose success is gained through non-stop efforts. By contrast, a lot of people choose to take a rest to enjoy their small success and thus lose the motivation for further achievement. In sum, keeping making progress should be the right attitude towards life and work for everybody and even for a country.
