### English Translation Title: The High‑Altitude Road of the Tour of Qinghai

News Summary: The 25th Tour of Great Beautiful Qinghai International Road Cycling Race finished on the plateau. The race featured eight stages, each averaging over 3,000 metres above sea level, with a total climb of about 10,000 metres. Multiple steep climbs and the cold, thin air created a unique and harsh test, challenging the riders’ fitness and revealing their spirit of perseverance and comeback in adversity.

Since its founding in 2002, the event has grown from very modest beginnings to its current scale. It now serves as a moving showcase of Qinghai’s natural beauty, while also boosting the economies of villages along the route and fostering ethnic exchange. The story of rider Zhang Jinde—who went from a child watching the race, to a competitor, and later to a race official returning to his home—along with the changes seen in local spectators and villages because of the race, are the most vivid examples of this journey.

Thoughts and Inspiration: Chasing the wind on the plateau teaches us that long journeys require patience and daily effort, as well as the help and vigilance of those around us. Just as years of work on the race have created lasting impact, many changes in life do not happen overnight; they come through steadfast determination and honest labor.

A verse in Scripture reminds us not to become discouraged: steady effort will be rewarded in its season. May we, in our workplaces and homes, also walk our paths with honesty, diligence, mutual help, and a protective heart.

Scripture: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galatians 6:9
