"Acting is our strength, and we don't accept defeat in terms of physical strength." Wang Ran, a junior at the School of Martial Arts and Performance of the Capital Institute of Physical Education, said confidently. In the selection of actors for the opening ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, he was successfully shortlisted for the opening ceremony with his excellent martial arts performance skills and became an opening ceremony pacesetter volunteer.
"Our more than 300 pacesetter volunteers gathered around the inner and outer circles of the Bird's Nest 400-meter track to warmly welcome athletes from all over the world to show the youthful style of Young Chinese college students." Wang Ran vividly compared the pacesetter post to the "atmosphere group" of the opening ceremony, and during the time when the athletes entered for about an hour, the pacesetter volunteers must always maintain enthusiasm and continue to dance.
At the beginning of October last year, Wang Ran and more than 300 volunteers from Tsinghua University, Capital Normal University, Capital University of Economics and Business and Capital Institute of Physical Education began dance training. At that time, he silently set himself a goal in his heart: to stand at the heart of the performance.
"At first, I always couldn't keep up with the beat and forgot the movements..." Not only that, martial arts pay attention to one board and one glance, while dance pays more attention to rhythm and movement, and the transformation of this also makes him difficult to adapt for a while, and once lost confidence.
But Wang Ran, who has loved sports since childhood and learned sanda, will not easily accept defeat. After each rehearsal, he would ask the dance students of the same school to "quietly" open a small stove for himself. In those days, music and the sound of several beats could always be heard in the dance classroom, "Sometimes when the classroom was occupied, we would be in the hallway facing the glass, dancing while leaning on the reflection to see if the dance movements were standard." He added that if he really can't do it, he will use his mobile phone to record the action and watch it again and again.
At the same time, Wang Ran, who is in her third year of college, also has to overcome academic pressure. When the training came to an end, every time after participating in the dance rehearsal, he went straight to the self-study classroom, "When I came back at 11 o'clock at night, the lights in the dormitory had been turned off, and my roommates were asleep." In this way, Wang Ran "jumped" step by step from the outermost periphery of the pacesetter team to the center position closest to the athletes, and successfully passed the final exam.
On the evening of the 4th, the boy in the center of the opening ceremony spotlight stood tall, extremely confident, and jumped out of the vigor of Chinese youth.
