Perseverance keeps commander young

Special forces chief runs 10 km every day to ensure he is a winner

Standing at less than 170 centimeters and with a kindly demeanor, Li Denggui does not look like a typical member of the special forces.

During an exchange with members of special forces of a foreign country last year, a foreign counterpart wanted to make fun of Li and threw a coin into a pool. Much to his great surprise, Li promptly dived in and retrieved the coin. The foreign soldier gave Li a big thumbs-up.
