"飞毛腿 (fēimáotuǐ)"originated from the ancient postal system. In ancient China, urgent military letters always had a feather glued to the corner on its envelope, meaning the letter should be delivered as soon as possible. In some places where horses couldn't reach, a person who ran fast would be dispatched to do the job. Later on people call these fleet-footed runners "飞毛腿(fēimáotuǐ)", or say they have grown a "飞毛腿 (fēimáotuǐ)"。
