Beijing - Dressed in a crisp suit, Li Zhirui, sitting on the window seat of a Beijing bus, silently gazes at the European-style villas, luxury cars and illuminated shopping malls as they pass him by.

北京——一身笔挺西装的李志锐坐在北京公交的窗边，静静地看着欧式的别墅、奢华的轿车和灯火通明的购物中心在他眼前滑过。

I pass on to Beijing, circa August 2006.

让我跳到二〇〇六年八月于北京。

So, that was it. We put the calories in our stomachs and set off for Beijing. Each pass made us warm, and each downhill was a frozen burden.

这段旅程也就告一段落了。我们填饱了肚子便启程北京。每到一处都是那么温暖人心，而每段下坡路却是冰冷的负担。

And that's true even if everyone knows you're the fastest man in the world, if you're the reigning Olympic champion, if you hold the world record - nothing gets you a free pass to Beijing.
