"I hope to run the Wuxi Marathon again, and thank Wuxi with sweat on the most beautiful track!"
The wish of Shi Yigong, the ambassador of Xima
“施校長還是2020無錫馬拉松的形象大使!”3月25日下午,當主持人介紹施一公的另一個身份時,天一中學的學子們掌聲和叫聲四起。大家沒想到,這位知名科學家53歲時在無錫以1小時38分10秒跑完了半程馬拉松。
On the same day, Shi Yigong, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and president of Westlake University, came to Tianyi Middle School to give a keynote speech on "West Lake Practice for the Cultivation of Top-notch Innovative Talents" for all senior high school students and juvenile students, bringing a feast of knowledge and ideas.
Not only is he a biophysicist, Shi Yigong also has another identity: a marathon runner. In his words in his autobiography "Self Breakout": "I'm also a veteran runner!"

即便科研工作再忙,施一公都不會忘記給跑步留出時間,這已經成為他的生活方式之一。2018年8月26日西湖大學開學典禮當天,施一公和幾位同事清晨5點一起去西湖完成了11公里的環湖跑。如今,每年開學典禮當天的早晨,施一公都會帶領新生在校園跑步。不僅如此,每年10月校園裡還會舉辦半程馬拉松,最近一次有700多人參賽。施一公告訴記者:“我現在每隔一天跑一次,每次10公里起步,月跑量維持在150公里至280公里。對學生而言,跑步是一項很好的運動,有益於身心健康。”
As a runner, Shi Yigong not only commented that this year's Wuxi Marathon was "very exciting", but also had an expectation: "I hope to run the Wuxi Marathon again, and thank Wuxi with sweat on the most beautiful track!" ”
