A news report about a father pushing his son with cerebral palsy in a wheelchair across the finishing line of the Shenzhen Marathon, which was held on Sunday in Shenzhen, South China's Guangdong Province, touched many Chinese internet users. It is the 56th marathon that Luo Shujian, the 45-year-old father, has completed. His son, Xiao Bai, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy after suffering serious brain damage caused by severe asphyxia during his birth 13 years ago. Luo has pushed his son in many marathons held in more than 20 cities, including Hangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. He was inspired by Dick Hoyt, a US father who finished more than 1,000 races with his son Rick, a quadriplegic who also has cerebral palsy.

"I want him to feel the warmth and strength of life," Luo said.

Life is just like a marathon.

Recently, on a short video platform, many live streamers started to comment on other people's facial features, bone ratio, clothing, body shape and other aspects, giving them a score from 1 to 10. Now, the game has been upgraded: People are paying streamers to score themselves. All people have to do is upload their picture, and tip a little money and their figure and face can be scored with seeming sincerity.

A good-looking and exquisite appearance can be regarded as a bonus, but should not be the standard or indicator of a person's worth. No one is qualified to quantify the image of others. These beauty scores will only lead to appearance anxiety.

Someone who only lives in the eyes of others is doomed to be a loser. The value of life is not in beauty. Only by becoming a confident, meaningful and positive person can people achieve better positive growth.
