On April 18, Luan Yushuai arrived in Shanghai with the team, "I used to know that Shanghai is prosperous, but this time I came to see Shanghai, and it felt very quiet. In the first two days of our visit, there were basically no cars on the road, except for police cars, and then occasionally. Several of my cars are for takeaway."
After arriving in Shanghai, Luan Yushuai was assigned to a branch in Minhang. "Three or four hundred orders have to be delivered a day, and I usually deliver about 200 orders a day in Beijing."
After getting up at 6 in the morning, delivering until late at night, moving, transporting, and unloading, Luan Yushuai often thinks about the feeling of running a marathon after sweating and exhausting.
Luan Yushuai "run" out of the mountains in Tonghua, Jilin.
As a child, he used to go to the mountains to chase rabbits.
"I'm quite famous for catching rabbits in our place, and everyone knows that I can catch them", but "it's a pity to say that, I didn't want to go long-distance running when I was a child." , waiter, cook, etc. to make a living, after following his mother to Beijing, he became a courier.
In 2017, Luan Yushuai's company became the designated official logistics service provider for the Beijing Marathon. He was discovered and recommended by the company to participate in the competition because of his "fast delivery speed".
