As one of the top marathons in the country, the 2019 Beverly Wuxi Marathon is supported by Yiren Wealth, a well-received online wealth management platform with strong and deep marathon culture, which will bring a team of a hundred runners to Wuxi Marathon on a consecutive sixth year.

The annual Beverly Wuxi Marathon has a special connection for Li, as the athlete won his first international champion there in 2015.

In the interview with Li, the athlete also says he is grateful for entities like Yiren Wealth who consistently offer strong financial and motivational support to the marathon — a reflection of their own entrepreneurships and a way to pass on the sport's spirit and culture.

"Each time I am in the process of finishing the game, my brain is filled with memories of tough training and effort I have made so far, and it is such a complicated feeling," Li said. "But happiness takes control over sorrows, always."

Thomas A. Edison said genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration. Likewise, from Li's perspective, "being a top marathon runner requires some gifts, but persistence is the final key to determine how far you can go both in the running course and life."
