During the 2025 Belt and Road Journalists Forum, an award ceremony honoring the winners for a short video campaign under the theme of “My Marathon” took place. The ceremony also saw the official release of the campaign’s song and MV. Since March 2024, this short video campaign has received nearly 400 video submissions from journalists worldwide, capturing stories of perseverance and passion through marathon running. We’re excited to share the MV here, celebrating these outstanding works and unforgettable moments.
《My Marathon》
Lyrics by: Li Yifan
Composed by: Zhang Shuai
Under my feet
The road unwinds
Through endless skies
I wanna try
Try everything
Even though might be falling down
My heart beats loud
Like a drum
For the dream I hold
If I fall down
let it be
I’m on my way
With empty hands, I’m fighting the wind
Through stumbles blind, I’m chasing the light
Though small my might, I’m painting the sky
Alone I stride, mountains step aside
You know life is not
a simple word to say
You know chasing dreams
means offerings on the way
No tears to cry
No fear to lose
Keep your stride and feel the truth
One day you will see
the faint light
of the rising dawn
One day you will see
the faint light
of the rising dawn
