#minister arrives#8 chu hongfan let sweat drown the noise

Editor's Note: #MinisterArrives# is a brand-new interview column launched by the Codoon Campus Club, aiming to let more friends/classmates get to know the club ministers. This also serves as a historical witness to the development of the Codoon Campus Club! The interview order is determined by the success of the incubation, with one issue per week. Today, we are pleased to introduce Hongfan Chu from Shandong Agricultural University!

Q: Hello Fan Fan, it's finally your turn, the topic terminator, haha. Please introduce yourself to everyone~

A: Hello everyone, hello Steel Brother (Editor: What about me, what about me!), I am the topic terminator--Hongfan Chu, a senior at Shandong Agricultural University, a rough man from Shandong. I like running and enjoy the internet. I have always hoped to inspire more classmates to leave their dormitories and head to the playground through my actions. My running motto: Let sweat drown out the noise!

Q: Come on, the usual question. How did you embark on this 'no return' path of sports?

A: I started running three years ago, but due to a lack of perseverance, I gave up after a month each time. Later, due to the monotonous life of preparing for exams and the need to release pent-up emotions, I resumed running. Leaden legs, falling sweat, compromise vs. persistence, the sense of superiority from surpassing others, the pride of sharing my track. After a busy day, my body looks forward to running freely on the playground, and my rapidly working brain looks forward to letting go of thoughts. Running, like preparing for exams, has a demonic yet self-transcending feeling, so I chose running to forget everything. (Editor: It seems like we have a soon-to-be obsessed top student here)

Q: Hello top student, have you gained anything from the Codoon Campus Club?

A: Friendship and wisdom. Through Codoon, I met many running friends. Their encouragement has allowed me to challenge myself repeatedly and achieve new personal bests. In the morning, I greet the sunrise on the playground, and at night, I run under the moonlight. Sweeping away fatigue, I return to being myself. Listening to songs by Xu Wei and Zheng Jun, running laps with girls (Editor: Listening to music and running with girls, your life is really something), a day passes, and Codoon is always by my side. Through sports, I have learned that even the longest marathon has a finish line, but the future road only has a starting point and no end.

(Editor: Suddenly, I feel our conversation has reached a philosophical level.)

Q: Codoon Handsome asked before, as the first minister of 2016, what are your New Year wishes or future ideals?

A: My New Year wishes for 2016: Run along the ancient city wall of Xi'an, go to Gansu to study and play with children in mountainous areas, and try Sichuan hot pot.

After graduation, take my parents to Tibet, encourage more friends to run together, persist in doing what I love in the future, and help more children in mountainous areas.

Q: Introduce the friends you've gained to everyone!

A: My junior and I are responsible for planning and organizing activities, usually promoting them through Weibo, WeChat, QQ, Tieba, Renren, and posters. Currently, there are about 500 members in two groups, with core members mainly being graduate students and seniors preparing for exams. We are actively expanding our team. (Editor: Great awareness! Well done!)

Q: A little advertisement as per international practice—what do you think is great about Codoon?

A: I spent half a year trying four domestic running apps and finally fell in love with Miss Codoon. The delicate and humanized communication platform and, most importantly, the incentive mechanism (such as the setting of activity prizes) are unmatched by other apps. I hope Miss Codoon's inner beauty can attract more running friends. As netizens say: Codoon is the Facebook of sports.

Q: Finally, in the first week of 2016, say something to Codoon's friends~

A: Stay true to your original aspiration, and you will achieve your goal. Codoon, like a close friend, is always with you.

Codoon Handsome interjects:

Although I have been complaining throughout, I actually feel quite touched. In every issue of 'Minister Arrives,' you can see a student who loves sports, loves Codoon, and loves the campus club.

Although, like netizens, we have never met, I am always moved by your enthusiasm.

You organize every event seriously, always standing by Codoon's side and progressing with us.

Alright, no more sentimentality. Come to Sichuan, and I'll treat you to hot pot~
