Danny and Kawauchi are the pride of our capital

In the past two days, my circle of friends has been madly swiped by a Japanese man. He is a local 9-to-5 civil servant named Kawauchi Yuhui.

And it was this "Japan's strongest civil servant" who defeated blacks and whites in the extremely bad weather in Boston on Monday, and crossed the finish line of the 122nd Poma for the first time. This was also his first Grand Slam title and set a new marathon record of 2 hours and 20 minutes for the 79th full-marathon run. This scene responded to the lyrics, "The cold icy rain slapped randomly on the face, and the warm tears mixed with the cold rain."

The third Monday in April every year, in addition to the annual Poma Game Day, is also Patriots Day in the United States. On this day five years ago, although there was no extremely bad weather, it was very different. Two bombs were detonated one after another near the finish line, killing 3 people and injuring 183 people. A female student from China was unfortunately killed. One of the two suspects responsible for the terrorist attack was killed and the other captured in a city-wide manhunt. This is the "Boston Marathon bombing" that shocked the world at that time.

A film highly restored the terrorist attack. Among them, the suspect even hijacked Danny, a Chinese guy driving a new Mercedes-Benz, with a car and people. Danny successfully abandoned the car and escaped by virtue of his wit and courage. Although he was incoherent at first during the alarm call, he then excitedly and fluently recited the GPS code of the car and provided the police with key clues.

In the memories related to Poma, Danny is like Kawauchi, they are ordinary people, and they are all the pride of our capital.
