"Racing"

Looking at the engine in front of the post building.

Thunder is faint when the rhinoceros is beating,

There is a slight snow on the top of the beast's head.

The birds that jump over the waves compete to be the first to retreat.

Xiang Dao was not convinced by Long Gang,

As expected, he won the championship.
