    By David Li, bostonese.com

    Boston, April 28, 2014, — For the 36,000 runners of the 118th Boston Marathon, many of them returned to the race to finish it when two bombs interrupted last year’s Boston Marathon, such as Boston College student Yanyi Weng. For first-time runner Boston University graduate student Baiyun Yao, she trained hard for marathon in honor of Lingzi Lu. A beautiful sunny day with low humility certainly helped both of them finish the 26.2 mile course and cross finish line with pride on April 21, Patriots’ Day of 2014.
