The story of a small ice hockey ball unfolds slowly on the land of China

The work adopts a two-line structure, on the one hand, it shows the story of the "ice dolls" honing their hearts, harvesting friendship and growth in the hot-blooded ice hockey sport, and fully expresses the positive sportsmanship of children in the new era from the perspective of children; at the same time, through the older generation of ice hockey enthusiasts An Grandpa's recounting of history, it tells the feelings of several generations about the home and country of ice hockey. The whole work is exquisitely structured, at the intersection of urban and rural children, when Beijing and Zhangjiakou are together to go to the Winter Olympics, people have a panoramic display of the fiery passion for ice and snow sports, and also integrate the author's deep family memory, which has both a distinct presentness and a sense of history. Vivid characters, delicate and smooth writing and interlocking plots make the story fascinating, touching and intriguing.
The author Wang Miao graduated from the Department of Chinese of Peking University, and has achieved good results since childhood, but sports are not good, all sports, running, high jump, long jump, shot put, swimming... None of them are good at her, but the lack of her own sports skills does not hinder her love of sports, but also more admiring the heroism and pride of athletes to conquer the battlefield and win medals, Wang Miao told reporters that she loves to watch various sports competitions, "table tennis, volleyball, basketball, track and field, swimming, diving, figure skating, short track speed skating, skiing, curling... Do not understand the rules, just to watch the hilarious mentality", every summer Olympics, Winter Olympics and other large-scale sports events, Wang Miao always fixed the TV on the sports channel, "I also used to be like a real sports fan, buy tickets to watch the game on the spot, not only in Beijing, but also in other places to see, the names of well-known athletes at home and abroad, I can also say a few", during the conversation, Wang Miao also counted to reporters the sports stars she knew, "C Luo, Messi, Nadal, Curry, Fan Zhendong, Gu Ailing... ”
As an unprofessional sports fan, Wang Miao admits that his feelings for sports may represent the vast majority of ordinary people, "The athletes' firm will and tenacious fighting spirit let us see the gap between ourselves and them." Through their victories, we can experience the joy and excitement of realizing our dreams; and their failures allow us to experience the other side of life in addition to sadness and tears, making life more textured." Love to watch sports competitions over the years, Wang Miao feels that his will quality is also developing in a more positive direction, "I like to watch the Winter Olympic Games, even if I don't understand the rules, but it does not prevent me from experiencing the elegance, stimulation, sharpness and beauty of ice and snow sports, on the field, athletes dance, rotate, glide, fly, they use extremely fast speed to explain the meaning of the word 'beyond', with a very difficult technical action let us appreciate the beauty of the human body, with the conquest of ice and snow to exert human power." Courage and wisdom. At the moment when the adrenaline was soaring, I seemed to be challenging the impossible with the athletes." When Wang Miao talked about the Winter Olympics, it was like opening a conversation box and gushing endlessly...
Learning about ice hockey began with a movie I watched in high school...
For the understanding of ice hockey, Wang Miao told reporters that this is due to a foreign movie watched in high school, the specific name of the movie Wang Miao has not remembered much, but the film in just a few seconds of ice hockey game footage, but let Wang Miao suddenly remember this strange sport, "athletes wear helmets, armor, armed to the teeth, like ancient warriors for honor, they bleed and injure, without flinching."
Wang Miao recalled that when she was in college in Beijing, an uncle's child was playing ice hockey, and she went to the ice hockey hall on the outskirts of Beijing to watch them train, That was the first time I went to the real ice hockey hall to watch the real training, watching the children work the ice rink, strive to be the first, parents waved their arms on the sidelines, waved their flags and shouted, I was deeply shocked. Wang Miao admits that his transformation from a sports student to a sports fan may have stemmed from that encounter with ice hockey. Therefore, when Su Shaoshe asked Wang Miao to write a children's novel with sports themes, she first thought of ice hockey, "Ice hockey is difficult and ornamental, the game is a competition of speed, technology and strength, and it also contains the spirit of teamwork and the attitude of indomitable struggle." Isn't this kind of movement that ignites people's passions very beneficial to the growth of children? ”
In the process of preparing the material, Wang Miao consulted a large number of materials, made up a number of game videos, and gained a deeper understanding of the sport of ice hockey. Wang Miao said that there are many people to thank in the process of creation, including an "ice father", "through interviewing him, my understanding of ice hockey has been greatly improved, and the vivid examples he tells have been written into the novel."
In the work "Ice Hockey Boy", in addition to writing about Beijing and ice hockey, Wang Miao also spent a lot of ink and ink writing about the city of Zhangjiakou, the reason for this is not only because Zhangjiakou is the city of the Winter Olympics, but also Wang Miao's own "selfishness", "My family has a strange connection with Zhangjiakou, my grandfather went to Xiaonao Village in Zhangbei County to escape the wilderness when he was a child, and his uncle's youth spent time in the Xuanhua military camp, I want to write these family memories in the novel."
