This strange drink, people say, is helping Chinese women athletes to win gold medals at international athletics meetings. The Japanese firm says that this mixture can do wonderful things for ordinary people too.
Mr. Ma Junwen is the trainer of the Chinese women’s athletics team. He created the recipe for this peculiar cocktail of roots & fungus & blood specially for the team. His runners train in the mountains of central China. They run 30 or 40 kilometers every day, so they are all very strong runners. But they all drink
Ma’s cocktail every day too… & they are winning more medals nowadays than they did before. And Mr.Ma is trying to market his odd mixture through the company in Japan. People in Japan know about Ma’s runners & they are rushing to buy a bottle of his amazing drink.
