Liu Xiang's efforts and the process of overcoming difficulties

The "Red Magic Shoes" carried Liu Xiang and created "China Myth" and "Shanghai Miracle" in Athens, which is known as the mythical capital.

Liu Xiang is becoming a model of a new generation of "Shanghai men" and a radiant international superstar.

But this Olympic gold medal does not belong only to Liu Xiang. Behind this myth, there are endless touching stories.

Mom and dad, I have made achievements, but I dare not forget the scene of you riding bicycles to see me off in the cold winter wind; I can't forget the scene where my mother washes my smelly shoes and socks every day. There are too many things to forget. ...

-Liu Xiang at home, Liu Xiang is a baby in my heart. She is the apple of her parents' and grandparents' eyes, and there is deep affection between her family.

10 years ago, Liu Xiang was a teenager, and he loved to play. In order to cultivate children, no matter whether it is hot or cold, windy or rainy, every morning at 6 o'clock, Liu Xiang's parents will drag their son out of bed and send him to the track and field by bike. In winter, Liu Xiang's mother Ji Fenhua was sweating like a pig riding a bicycle, and even her cotton sweater was soaked.

Parents are full of love for this child.

Liu Xiang's family was not well off at that time. In order to let his son supplement more nutrition, Ji Fenhua often cooks and orders himself and sends them to the sports school. Sometimes he will take Liu Xiang to a snack bar to supplement his nutrition.

In 200 1 year, Liu Xiang's grandmother unfortunately got pancreatic cancer, which is already advanced. The flame of life gradually went out, and the old man was seriously ill, mumbling "Xiang Xiang, Xiang Xiang."

But at this moment, Liu Xiang is participating in the 9th National Games. In order not to affect his son's game, Liu Xiang's parents held back their grief and didn't inform him.

The family supported Liu Xiang silently with their silent efforts.

Ji Fenhua once teased Liu Xiang like this. "Xiang Xiang, you are a celebrity now. Will mom give you a bag? "

Liu Xiang immediately became serious: "Mom and Dad, I have made achievements, but I dare not forget the scene where you rode your bicycles to see me off in the cold winter wind;" I can't forget the scene where my mother washes my smelly shoes and socks every day. I dare not forget the scene where the coach wakes me up at six every morning. There are so many things I dare not forget ... I am still the original Liu Xiang in Liu Xiangzhong. I don't regard myself as an idol. I am ordinary and ordinary. "

When the Liu Xiang family became lifelong honorary readers of Youth Daily, Liu Xiang's mother repeated her son's simple words. Mother said with tears, Liu Xiang has grown up, matured and become a man with indomitable spirit.

"Pinghai, you have to go again. You are black and thin. You are too tired. You have to go again ... ""Just a few days, you will come back, you will come back ... "Sun Haiping couldn't control his feelings any longer, and tears kept falling:" Mom, I will come to see you as soon as I come back! "

On the afternoon of September 18 this year, an old man with gray hair sat quietly in the courtyard of the Minjian Nursing Home in Guangzhong Road. She is an 83-year-old from Zhang Yuying. She is waiting for her son Sun Haiping and her son's apprentice Liu Xiang.

On the night of the Olympic Games 1 10 meter hurdles final, the old man from Zhang Yuying actually got up to watch TV. In normal times, the elderly will lie down and sleep before 6 pm.

According to the aunt in the nursing home, it was like spending New Year's Eve in the nursing home on the night of the final in Liu Xiang. Many old people get up to watch the game. Seeing that Liu Xiang won the Olympic gold medal in one fell swoop, the old people congratulated the old people in Zhang Yuying! The next day, the newspaper was full of photos of Liu Xiang and Sun Haiping, and the old man was very happy.

On September 18, I learned that my son and Liu Xiang were coming, and the old man couldn't sleep well all afternoon. She has not seen her son for a long time. She missed her son and wiped the photo frame hand in hand with him over and over again, waiting for the arrival of the child.

Entering the nursing home, Sun Haiping eagerly walked up to his mother, hugged her tightly and called her with trembling lips. The old man clung to his son's hand and refused to let go, as if he had a thousand words to say. When the old man learned that his son and Liu Xiang were going to visit Japan again two days later, the old man actually held his son's hand tighter like a child: "Pinghai, you have to leave again, you are dark and thin, you are too tired to walk any longer ..." "Just for a few days, you will come back, you will come back ..." Sun Haiping could no longer control his feelings and began to cry.

At that time, Liu Xiang and his parents left quietly first, and so did everyone present. Everyone didn't want to disturb the mother and son. After all, this moment should only belong to Sun Haiping and his 83-year-old mother.

Behind the glory, there are a lot of hard sweat and tears full of guilt.

What Sun Haiping has been reluctant to mention is that he suffers from severe sinusitis, and polyps in his nose prevent him from breathing. To this end, Sun Haiping opened the knife several times, but the polyp was always "tenacious" and seemed to be about to crack when he had a headache.

Once, Sun Haiping fell ill again, and everyone took turns to persuade him to have a good rest. Sun Haiping shook his head and said, "Liu Xiang is at a critical juncture and can't rest."

At that time, Sun Haiping, who was in unbearable pain, had only one request, and that was to ask coach Sheng Yueming to visit his old mother in a nursing home on his behalf.

Sun Haiping's whole family is devoted to track and field.

Sun Haiping's wife is also a track coach. Like coach Sun, she takes track and field as her home and can't take care of her 83-year-old mother. That's why she was sent to a nursing home just a few steps away from home. Every time the couple go home, the first thing is to visit their old mother.

As for their daughter Sun Yihua, Mr. and Mrs. Sun Haiping really have no time to take care of them.

Sun Yihua is now a senior three student in a key middle school in the district. Speaking of dad, Sun Yihua has a great opinion, because from primary school to now, he has to be coached by his father when he encounters learning problems. Sun Haiping only tutored his daughter twice, and it was on the phone.

Moreover, Liu Xiang sometimes gets tired from practice, gets upset and feels particularly depressed. Sun Haiping is like a father, chatting with Liu Xiang, talking about trivial matters in life, talking about the future of Liu Xiang, and sometimes buying some snacks for Liu Xiang.

This makes my daughter sometimes complain-since my father has the "son" Liu Xiang, why don't you want me as a daughter!

In her daughter's mind, Sun Haiping is a real man. Sun Yihua even secretly thought that if she wants to find a husband in the future, she must find a father like that!

The daughter loves her father very much and advises Sun Haiping to give up smoking. Sun Yihua told reporters that because she heard that she quit smoking, nasal polyps would not grow any longer, and her father's sinusitis would not attack her face. ...

How could the exquisite Sun Haiping not know all this, but his heart was on the playground. He didn't regret his contribution, but he was deeply sorry for his family. Knowing that she often doesn't go home and owes too much to her family, Sun Haiping often brings small gifts to her daughter and wife as soon as she gets home to help her with housework.

Sun Haiping's cooking level is quite high, especially braised fish. Unfortunately, my daughter hasn't tasted it for a long time.

How many years, this is the life of track and field people.

(1) It's amazing and wonderful for Liu Xiang to become an Olympic champion. Everything seems to be a miracle until now. "

2 1 year-old, becoming an Olympic champion is incredible for anyone of the same age. 2 1 year-old, becoming the first gold medal winner of China men's track and field in the Olympic Games, is a dream for those who work hard for the rise of track and field in China. 2 1 year-old, became a "hurdler" in the short-distance straight event monopolized by Europeans and Americans, and was ecstatic about the yellow race. And all this, 2 1 year-old China Liu Xiang did it. Not only that, he also got his hands on the unparalleled world record of 10/2 seconds 9 1. You know, Liu Xiang, who was only 1 1 ten years ago, had no idea what a hurdle was.

It is no exaggeration to say that Liu Xiang is the second China native who shocked the world, and the first is Yao Ming. "Alan" is wise, because he is ashamed to lose to Liu Xiang in full view, even if it is not on the runway of decisive battle. So before he could compete in the same field, he left in a hurry in the second round with the most decent "regret". After the final, the major media all drew an exclamation mark on this 2 1 year-old flying man in their reports! Agence France-Presse said, "Liu Xiang, 2 1 year-old, won today's victory without any dispute. Although he only tied the world record, Jackson's wind speed during the game was 0.5, but today's wind speed is only 0.3. Liu's performance is obviously more convincing. " IAAF even described his speed as "the bullet is out of the chamber" and predicted that "four years later, he will certainly be the most promising champion of the Olympic Games".

Comments: He touched China with the yellow skin of wheat and the speed of the shells leaving the chamber.

(2) Li Du filmed "When is the most beautiful thing to say? I think it is the time to stand on the podium."

Her last shot won China the first gold medal in Athens Olympic Games. Every shot of her is not on the target paper, but is deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone in the audience. When IOC President Jacques Rogge hung the gold medal around Li Du's neck, Li Du was more beautiful than usual at this moment with charming eyes and sweet dimples. The gold medal on the chest is heavy and glittering.

On weekdays, you will see Li Du like this. As soon as there is a blockbuster, you rush to see it. When you buy something, you will be so crazy that you just like it regardless of the price. When you improve your food, you will clamor for big steamed buns ... But you will see more Li Du like this on the shooting range, wearing a leather coat weighing more than ten kilograms. The more wrong, the more stubborn. "In fact, today's game was not smooth from the beginning. When I entered the shooting range for security check, according to the regulations, I had to draw a mark on the button of my clothes, but the careless security guard forgot to draw it, so I accepted the second security check before the game. In qualifying, the shelf was knocked down twice again. This has never happened before, and bullets are scattered all over the floor, which does not bode well for us. But I just don't believe in evil. The worse things get, the more I need to calm myself down. Actually, I have a special feeling standing in front of the target today. I believe I can do it. " Then, after the tenth shot of the decisive battle at Kelpolo Shooting Range in Athens, we heard: "10.6 ring", "China" and "Li Du"!

Comments: She touched China with a calm and shy smile.

(3) Wang Yifu Shooting "Eight years ago, I only won a silver medal in the Atlanta Olympic Games. The daughter said,' Dad, you are great!' When my daughter picked up my silver medal and kissed it, I silently swore to my daughter that I must let my daughter kiss my father's gold medal once. "

Eight years ago, a 6.5 ring destroyed the high-spirited Barcelona defending champion. Eight years after the Northeast man fell to the ground and nobody cared about the color of the medal, Wang Yifu, 44, came to Greece and created a myth. He came for revenge. Unfortunately, Italy's Didona, who won the gold medal eight years ago, failed to hold on.

After the penultimate shot of 8.6 rings, Wang Yifu immediately put his hand on his chest, which made people worry that the scene of 1996 would not happen again. "I didn't have a relapse. As long as there is a competition, I will hang a badge of Chairman Mao on my chest. At that time, I touched the portrait of Chairman Mao hanging on my chest and stabilized myself. " The 9.9 ring of the last shot fulfilled his oath eight years ago.

Before going to Athens, many people questioned the state of Wang Yifu, only Wang Yifu himself vowed: "My state is very clear, just like peeling that cabbage. I have to peel it layer by layer, and I won't know what the innermost' core' looks like until I finish peeling it." When he was crowned king again, he couldn't help crying: "When you stood on the podium, you saw the five-star red flag Ran Ran rising and heard the march of the volunteers playing, not only me, but also the people of the whole country. This gold medal does not represent myself, but represents the honor of the whole nation. "

Comments: He touched China with persistent firmness and tears.

(4) Xian Dongmei Judo "To win the championship, of course, you have to pay more than others."

Xian Dongmei once said that she had three "regrets": First, she got a marriage certificate and didn't have a honeymoon; Second, the wedding has not yet been held; Third, I have moved into a new house and haven't had time to enjoy it. According to this logical reasoning, Xian Dongmei should be a pure "dependent bird". However, this Guangdong girl showed aggressive murderous look on the judo field. 67 seconds, the advantage of a book, the opponent under it is still from the East, which makes Asia "complex"-this is the weight of a nation. If the significance of this victory only exists in the game, then at least it has taught the opponent that underestimating the enemy on the field is a taboo in the battle.

Everyone who knows her knows Dong Meiqiang, from track and field to wrestling and finally to judo. At the age of 29, he first rose from a player to a coach, and later returned to the team because of lack of successors. Dong Mei's strength is not only supported by her husband, but also because there is a kind of "steel" substance in her body. From 65438 to 0996, Xian Dongmei was injured and her ligament was broken when she participated in the European series in the Netherlands, so she had to stop playing at that time. After returning to the provincial team, the doctor advised her to have an operation, but because she was preparing for the 8th National Games 1997, she only took conservative treatment. Dongmei insisted on training with injury, and that time she won the championship. From 65438 to 0998, she had an operation in which three steel nails were implanted in Xian Dongmei's left leg to fix the patella. So now Xian Dongmei, the muscles of her left leg are gradually shrinking.

She didn't agree with these, and this champion made Dong Mei more confident: "I came to Athens this time for the gold medal. This may be the gold medal of the last major competition in my life and it is also the most important for me. "

Comments: She touched China with three steel nails and the weight under her.

5] Luo Xuejuan Swimming "I want to thank my parents who raised me and thank them for their kindness! I also want to thank my coach, all my friends who care about me, and all those who love me and hate me! "

This is what Luo Xuejuan, who has always been outspoken, choked up after winning the championship. I still remember that at the age of 65,438+07 in the Ninth National Games, she broke the national record and the Asian record in the 100 meter breaststroke final and won the championship. But what impressed people most was not her record and champion, but her sentence "The water in the swimming pool was not very clean, but I stood out cleanly". When this sentence came out, it surprised everyone and made many people feel at home.

After the retirement of Five Golden Flowers, in the past eight years, no one can win another swimming gold medal for China in the Olympic swimming pool. How many people care about, how many waves are hidden. Luo Xuejuan's winning the championship not only made the swimming pool in China erupt again after eight years of calm, but also made people see a pure and bright blue spray. Luo Xuejuan withdrew from the 200m breaststroke final after the100m breaststroke final, which was criticized and questioned by his opponent. There was no room for any sand in her eyes. She resisted physical discomfort and participated in the decisive battle of the women's 4× 100 meter mixed relay. After that, she was exhausted and carried away. Everyone knows that she is fighting for her country, her dignity and innocence. Luo Xuejuan, nicknamed "The Beast", saved this gold medal with his own courage and defended this glory that belongs to all China people with his own life.

Comments: She touched China with her frank personality and clear mind.

[6] Li Ting/Sun Tennis "Tennis has created today's miracle and history in China." Li Furong

The great revolutionary teacher Marx commented on Greek mythology: Greek mythology is an unattainable model. This made many younger generations believe in any miracle that happened in this magical land at the southern tip of Balkan Peninsula and the west coast of Aegean Sea. However, when a China girl with dark skin, wearing a white dress and holding a five-star red flag is crowned king in the women's doubles at the tennis court of Athens Olympic Games, some people will be at a loss and then pinch their thighs. Of course, this is not a dream, but it is more beautiful and sweeter than a dream.

Li Ting and Sun Tiantian-their names spread all over the world in an instant. People who know tennis will envy them for winning the Olympic gold medal, while those who don't know tennis will envy their dark and bright skin, because in Europe, which advocates sunshine and health, such skin color means that they have both time and money. Tennis has always been called "aristocratic sport" by Europeans and Americans. In the past hundred years, players from these two continents have won the title of king in various open competitions. Finally, in the year when I returned to my hometown in the Olympic Games, the tennis crown belonging to the world was brought to the New World by two China people with black eyes. This pair of "black wind and double evil" not only broke the monopoly of tennis by Europeans and Americans, but also issued a Chinese-style challenge to all those standing opposite the net.

Comments: They moved China with their seamless cooperation and the figure of China who broke through the monopoly.

(7) Teng Haibin Gymnastics "I can't get out at this time, which only shows that I am not qualified in this team."

He won two gold medals in team and pommel horse in the first world championship and was appointed as the next generation leader of China men's team. He made major mistakes in three events in the team event finals of the Athens Olympic Games, which led to the fiasco of the China men's team and was regarded as the number one "sinner" of the China gymnastics team. Six days later, he got rid of the shadow of losing the team competition and won the single pommel horse competition in one fell swoop. He is only 19 years old Teng Haibin.

Please pay attention to such a detail: when Teng Haibin made a serious mistake for the third time in the team competition, the camera lens stuck to Teng Haibin's eyes, as if looking for tears of guilt; At the moment when the final result of pommel horse battle was announced, the camera was aimed at his eyes again, as if looking for tears of liberation there, but both failed. Teng Haibin saved himself with surging eyes and unyielding faith, and stood up where he fell. Such success is more valuable than a pleasant trip. The six days from the men's team defeat to the pommel horse championship are six days of tossing and turning. "I have a lot of guilt. The hard work of the coach and the players in these four years has been destroyed on me. " All the accusations are directed at Teng Haibin, and all the doubts are directed at Teng Haibin. But it is this gold medal that is still strong under heavy pressure that keeps the final dignity of China gymnastics-the person who completed the victory and defeat reversal in six days deserves the leadership of the king's teacher!

Comments: He moved China with six days of strength and hope.

Badminton by Zhang Ning "What is the Olympic spirit? This is the Olympic spirit! " Li Furong

When Zhang Ning's passion broke out in an instant, when Zhang Ning's racket flew out of the stadium, when Zhang Ning and the coach around him hugged each other tightly and tears filled his eyes, Li Furong, deputy head of the China sports delegation, who was sitting on the field supervising the war, blurted out: "What is the Olympic spirit? This is the Olympic spirit! "

She is the winner of the first gold medal of China badminton team in this Olympic Games. When the badminton men's team was wiped out and Gong Ruina lost in the semi-final, the pride of the team was on the 29-year-old veteran, and Zhang Ning held on! So we heard Li Furong say excitedly, "Fortunately, Zhang Ning made it to the final. In Zhang Haili's present condition, I think only Zhang Ning can beat her in China. Only by having the same will quality as her can she persist in the competition. " This is Zhang Ning, tenacious and persistent Zhang Ning, and Zhang Ning who won his first world championship at the age of 28. "It takes ten years to sharpen a sword" Zhang Ning was deeply touched by this. 1994, it was Zhang Haili who defeated Zhang Ning, who was then 19 years old, and took the Uber Cup away. Ten years later, Zhang Ning saved this sadness with his tenacity and hearty victory.

Except shouting "cool!" After the game. Zhang Ning's greatest wish is to go to the wedding hall after returning home, bring a gold medal dowry and complete the beautiful bride that should have been realized three years ago.

Comments: She moved China with her firm belief and belated happiness.

Yao Ming basketball "I won't shave until I get into the quarterfinals."

He won enough honor for China people at another peak. A 2.26-meter giant, a billionaire with an annual income of1.200 million RMB, and a giant with witty remarks and lofty sentiments-Yao Ming, no one would have thought of any other names under these notes. He once said, "Don't get into the quarter-finals, don't shave", once said, "I'm extremely disappointed and want to retire", and even lamented, "Either break out or die". The versatile Yao Ming will not only give you two pairs of grades, but also surprise you with words.

When NBA superstars righteously rejected Dream Six and threw themselves into the intense pre-season preparations, some "good-hearted people" questioned Yao Ming who was preparing for the Olympic Games: "You went home for the World Championships and the Olympic Games. Missing the preseason is a great loss. What are you doing this for? " Yao Ming calmly and firmly replied: "Because I am an athlete in China!" (Because I belong to a player from China), this statement is speechless all over the room.

Comments: He touched China with the shoulders of giants and the blood of men.

China Women's Volleyball Team "I think firm will is the key to our final victory." zhonghe chen

"China's defense left a deep impression on people. Their blocking is very effective. Under the leadership of Feng Kun, the best player captain in this game, the whole team formed the solidity of the Great Wall of Wan Li. " -Reuters

This is the only gold medal in the team event of the China delegation in this Olympic Games, and it is also the opening remark of the cliche that history is always strikingly similar. 198 1 year1month 16 years, the "old women's volleyball team" won the world championship for the first time, in 20031month 15 years. 1On August 8th, 984, Lang Ping's last dunk made the old women's volleyball team win the gold medal in the Los Angeles Olympic Games, while on August 28th, 2004, Zhang's final victory made the new women's volleyball team stand on the highest podium in the Athens Olympic Games. Twenty years have passed, and the past 20 days have condensed every step carved for the re-emergence of China women's volleyball team.

Victory froze-they cried! Crying to earth-shattering, rainy days, dark days ... Russians use the difficulty of 2: 0 to 2: 3 to convince us that only those who have worked hard to achieve great goals can cry so beautifully! Gamov's crying is pain, and our crying is happiness! It's like the Los Angeles Stadium 20 years ago. Green cried, and so did we!

There is no need to repeat the obstacles in the process, just remember these happy names: Feng Kun, Zhao, Zhang Ping, Liu Hua, Li Shan, Hao Yang, Zhou, Zhang, Song Nina and Zhang Na.

Comments: They moved China with their iron will and new women's volleyball spirit.
