On October 31, 2014, the Ningbo Institute of Technology held an exciting sports event – a mens 1500-meter race. Wang Chan, a student in the School of Foreign Language Studies, won first place in the track competition. Still breathing hard after the race, Wang said, “I am greatly honored to receive the award, and am excited to have won, but my success was mostly due to the enthusiastic cheering of my classmates during the race. In a long race like this one, you really learn the true meaning of the proverb, ;No pain, no gain.” The NIT leadership encourages frequent athletic competitions on campus to provide a venue for students to display their competitive spirit and ability to cooperate. On this day, Wang Chan set a great example.
