The Old Man Walked 22 Pairs Of Sneakers And Walked Forty Thousand Kilometers To Greet The Olympic Games.

Jin Shiming, a 56 year old Xinjiang old man, hiked more than 37000 kilometers along the national road. She traveled from Xinjiang to 28 counties and cities, such as Qinghai and Lhasa. After more than 3 years, she went to Gansu from Pingliang in April 8th to enter the township of Jingyuan County, Ningxia.

In the territory of Ningxia, he came along the 109 National Road and came to Yinchuan via Guyuan, central defender and Wu Zhong.

In the morning of April 18th, when he was wearing a large backpack and wearing a white vest that conquered the Olympic Games and challenged the limits of the earth's 40000 kilometers, he appeared in the Jade Palace Square in Yinchuan.

Long run for 40 years, trained hard body.

Jin Shiming's ancestral home in Baoji, Shaanxi, is the only child in the family.

At the age of ten, his parents left the world. He had not graduated from primary school. In order to support himself, he climbed up a lorry and went to work in a coal mine in Fukang, Xinjiang, at the age of 17.

The life of miners is monotonous.

Jin Shiming used to play basketball, table tennis and football in school all the time.

He was very depressed when he was interested in sports.

Fortunately, the mining area was sparsely populated. During the rest time, Jin Shiming secretly ran to the deep part of the mountain, and shouted at the mountains, releasing his unhappy heart.

Jin Shiming also formed a habit of running.

Sooner or later, he has to run at least 10 kilometers.

This insistence is 40 years.

"I have never taken any medicine, nor have I been sick. Even in winter, I do not wear trousers."

Jin Shiming said proudly.

In March 2007, he hurried to the Xiamen International Marathon race and got second good results in the old age group.

After retirement, start walking.

Due to hobbies, Jin Shiming retired in February 2005 and decided to walk 15000 kilometers to Beijing in Fukang city.

In August of that year, three people set off from Fukang city.

The first stop is Urumqi, Xinjiang, and then to Qinghai.

When the third station arrived in Lhasa, two older companions, who were older than Lao Jin, gave up their journey because of their physical strength and unwillingness to take up. Jin Shiming insisted on coming all the way.

"French marathon runner Gamil Barry is my idol."

Jin Shiming took out the picture of the mill that he collaged with him, saying that this is the driving force for him to keep running.

In November 2006, Jin Shiming finally walked to Beijing and completed the goal of walking 15000 kilometers.

A media reporter interviewed Lao Jin when he said that he had completed the equivalent of 15000 kilometers of the earth's diameter. Why not continue to walk over 4 kilometers equivalent to the circumference of the earth and walk to Beijing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

So, after resting in Beijing for more than 20 days, Jin Shiming began his hiking journey.

"To challenge the Olympic Games and to conquer the earth's circumference by more than 40000 kilometers on foot" has become his new goal.

22 pairs of shoes were worn out and 14 notebooks were recorded.

Now Jin Shiming is wearing twenty-third pairs of sneakers on his feet.

"How many pairs of shoes do you wear and how many kilometers each pair of shoes can take?"

Jin Shiming took out 3 notebooks, and recorded the itinerary and used items densely, and signed and sealed the way County, City Sports Bureau and trade union.

At the same time, Jin Shiming also carries a small film camera with his camera, recording the landmark buildings passing through the county and city by camera.

On the way, he had lost two cameras.

In Tibet, tired of running in the morning, asleep in the shade of a tree, when he woke up, the knapsack around him was gone. Fortunately, the note and the note signed and sealed had been placed under the head, safe and sound.

Dedicate a track record to the Beijing Olympic Games

"The monthly retirement pay is 1100 yuan, the cost of the road is hard to maintain, but every time you have no money to spend, someone will donate."

Jin Shiming was relieved to say that thousands of people donated nearly 20 thousand yuan to his clothes along the way.

When Lingwu went to Ye Sheng in the direction of Ningxia, after a restaurant, Jin Shiming went in to pay for it after a quick meal.

The boss said that a young man had already paid for the meal, but Jin Shiming didn't even know what the young man looked like.

"It's so weird that I didn't say a word. Maybe it was when I saw my dress that I paid for the meal."

Jin Shiming said that Ningxia people worked in Xinjiang a lot. On this trip to Ningxia, he felt that Ningxia people were good and honest.

After stepping out of Ningxia, Jin Shiming will continue to move along Inner Mongolia.

At the end of July, he will walk thousands of kilometers away to Beijing.

Jin Shiming said, "I want to hand over all the photography and pcripts to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee for the Beijing Olympic Games."
