At dawn during the Moganshan 100km trail race, the men’s champion crosses the finish line after running through the night.

At the same moment, runners in the 70km race gather at the starting area, preparing for their departure.

Spectators surround the exhausted winner, forming a spontaneous human corridor. The image captures a rare intersection of endings and beginnings — exhaustion, anticipation, and collective witness unfolding within the same frame.
