How We Engineer the Strength to Keep Going 坚持不是意志题，是工程题 | Lianzheng Wang | TEDxNew Channel Qingdao

What keeps us going? Lianzheng offers a heartfelt answer through his own story: perseverance is never about struggling alone—it is a relay of love, trust, and personal growth. From a factory worker to a national marathon athlete, he has pursued his dreams with his wife by his side, serving as both his safe harbor and his catalyst. When he was exhausted, she offered acceptance; when he hesitated, she gave him confidence. Over time, her simple words—"I believe in you"—became the voice within himself. When support from others gradually grows into inner conviction, we ultimately gain the strength to face life's challenges. Each of us can become the "engineer" of our own lives. 坚持，到底靠什么？大正用自己的故事给出了一个温暖的答案：坚持不是一个人的苦撑，而是一场关于爱、信任与自我成长的接力。 从机械厂工人到马拉松国家健将，他一路追梦的背后始终有妻子作为他的“避风港”和“催化剂”——在疲惫时给予接纳，在犹豫时给予坚定。一句句“我相信你”最终内化成为他心底的声音。 当外界的支持慢慢生长为内心的信念，我们也终将拥有面对困难的力量。 每个人都可以成为自己人生路上的“工程师”。 As a well-known marathon blogger and professional marathon runner, he achieved national elite marathoner status in 2023 and has built an online following of over ten million. He shares his training routines, race moments, and running insights through video, transforming the generally acknowledged "solitary sport", long-distance running into something shared and visible. As a professional athlete, he has constantly improved his personal best across races in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuxi, Berlin, and beyond, steadily shaping his own rhythm through both the track and time. For him, running is more than achievements — it is an ongoing self-dialogue, where everyday life becomes endurance, and endurance becomes a way of living.
