On May 11, 2025, 16-year-old Chen Yujie became a national star in Guangzhou. She ran the first part of the women's 4x100m relay race at the World Athletics Relays (2025世界田联接力赛) in Guangzhou. Her team won their race in 43.03 seconds, earning (赢得) a place in the 2026 World Championships. Known as "Little Sister" for her age and successful achievements, Chen's story shows how hard work and love for what you do can make dreams come true.

Chen grew up in Ningbo, Zhejiang. Her parents were both runners. As a child, she tried tennis and taekwondo, but everything changed when she joined a school race at age 11. Her teacher saw how fast she ran and told her to try track and field (田径). Balancing school and training was not easy. She studied at Ningbo No.7 Middle School during the day and practiced at a sports school in the evening. Even when she hurt her leg once, she kept exercising her arms and never missed practice. Her coach said, "She always tries her best."

Her efforts soon brought success. At 14, she broke records at the 2023 U15 World School Games in Brazil, winning the 100m (11.56 seconds) and 200m (24.59 seconds). In 2024, she surprised everyone by beating Ge Manqi, a famous runner and her idol, at the National Championships. She ran the 100m. in 11.29 seconds! "We're waiting for her in the national team," said Ge after the race. That same year, she set a new Asian U18 record in the 200m (23.19 seconds). By 2025, she has held U18 Asian records in the 60m, 100m, and 200m.

Beyond her natural talent, what makes Chen special is how she turns problems into power. While other kids played after school, she ran between practices and homework. When she got hurt, she trained her arms and practiced movements. Even during breaks, she did math problems to stay focused (专注的). Today, Chen is not just a runner she shows us that success needs both talent and hard work. As she prepares for the 2028 Olympics, her story reminds us: greatness starts when you grab your chance, no matter how young you are!

I see math as a puzzle game. Every time I get a wrong answer, I ask myself, "Why?" Then I write down my mistake. That's how I remember not to make it again next time.

For example, when studying geometry (几何), I use colored pens to clearly draw each step. This makes it easier for me to see and solve hard problems.

Also, I study with friends. We take turns explaining questions to each other. If I can explain something clearly, it shows I really get it!

In short, to get better at math, don't rush. Think clearly, enjoy solving problems and keep learning from mistakes. That's how I reached the top of the class.

My father's friend Bernie has a big store to sell fruits and vegetables. When I was a kid, watermelon was a special1. Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, we went to his store to2 the watermelon. Bernie took a knife and cut open a watermelon.

We ate only the best part—the5, juicy, red center with no seeds (籽) and threw away the rest part.

My father said Bernie was a rich man. Bernie had a lot of money. At first, I thought that's6 my father thought he was rich. But later, I7—because he knew how to enjoy life. Bernie worked hard, but he also took time to enjoy life with friends and ate only the8 of the watermelon.

I learned that being rich was not just about money. Some people had a lot but seldom9. Others didn't have much and lived a10 life, but they still felt rich.

Now, I remember again. I hope I still have time to enjoy life. That's the center of the watermelon. The rest? I throw it away. Now, I am truly15.
