The story of "labor model" Ren Ziwei's joining the party

The Capital Gymnasium is buzzing!

On the evening of February 7, in this blessed land, which gave birth to the first gold of China's Winter Olympic Games, three Chinese athletes joined hands to break into The Short Track Speed Skating Men's 1000m Final Group A and won the first and second places. In the deafening cheers of the audience, Ren Ziwei pointed to the five-star red flag on his chest and strode to the highest podium. He used a hard-won victory to help the Chinese team achieve a breakthrough of zero gold medals in the event in the history of the Winter Olympics.

Ren Ziwei, who is indomitable and unstoppable on the field, is nicknamed "Labor Model". The athlete, born in 1997, is a member of the Communist Party of China, and his introduction to the party is NoneiWi Huizhong, secretary general of the Chinese sports delegation to the Beijing Winter Olympics and secretary of the party committee and director of the Winter Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sport.

"Ren Ziwei is a wind-chasing teenager on the ice rink, and he has also experienced the troubles of growing up like his peers." In front of reporters, Ni Huizhong recalled the past experience of the man's short track leader.

At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago, as the leader of the new generation of athletes, Ren Ziwei won the silver medal in the men's 5,000-meter relay with his teammates, regrettably passing by the gold medal. In the view of Ni Huizhong and the coaching team, in addition to technical reasons, the more critical problem lies in the heart: "He has not fully realized the great responsibility he bears as a national team athlete." ”

How can we not only cultivate the ability of young athletes to compete, but also fully stimulate their enthusiasm for loving the party and the country, so that they can take the initiative to take action and truly shine in the projects they are engaged in? After learning that Ren Ziwei had written an application to join the party when he was training in Heilongjiang Province, Ni Huizhong decided decisively: "We asked the higher-level party organization, communicated with the Heilongjiang Provincial Sports Bureau, and the party branch of the national team cultivated Ren Ziwei, and I will serve as his training contact." ”

This new identity has allowed Ni Huizhong to have more contact with Ren Ziwei, "As long as I go to the sports team, as long as I have time, I will talk to him and let him talk about his understanding of the party, his understanding of himself, and his understanding of the short track speed skating project." When he is anxious and worried, he can push his heart and speak to me. Later, if there is any situation on the field, I will draw a question mark on WeChat and he will know what it means. ”

Adhering to the principle of "building branches in sports teams," doing in-depth and meticulous ideological and political work, and paying attention to recruiting party members from among outstanding athletes have become powerful weapons for the party committee of the winter sports center to stimulate the endogenous motivation of sports teams. With the passage of time, Ren Ziwei gradually realized the heavy responsibility on his shoulders - to lead by example and play a leading role, and to carry the banner of Chinese short track speed skating with his teammates.

"I often tell Ren Ziwei that Communist Party members should be 'model workers' and should be benchmarks and pioneers in all aspects." Ni Huizhong said.

In the long training life, the homesick Ren Ziwei once had the idea of going back to see his family, but at the most critical stage of physical training, once he left, it was likely to affect the system training and affect the morale of the entire team. After some ideological struggle, Ren Ziwei found Ni Huizhong and said firmly: "I will not go back, I will go back when the Olympic gold medal is hanging on my chest." My family understands and supports. ”

"In the most arduous and difficult times, Ren Ziwei was able to focus on the overall situation, combined with his usual ideological and political performance, and I think he already has the qualities that a party member should have." Ni Huizhong said. Last year, on the occasion of the centennial birthday of the party, Ren Ziwei gloriously became a member of the Communist Party of China after being studied and decided by the party member meeting of the branch and submitted to the party committee of the Winter Games Center for deliberation and approval.

"Party membership is not only an identity and an honor, but also a responsibility and responsibility." With a sense of mission to consolidate responsibility, with a sense of responsibility to stimulate the sense of honor for the glory of the country, joining the party has become a new starting point and gas station on the road of Ren Ziwei's life. On July 1, 2021, the conference to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China was solemnly held in Beijing's Tiananmen Square, and Ren Ziwei, who was at the scene, was boiling with blood and could not calm down for a long time. After the conference, he quietly made a promise - to go all out to let the five-star red flag fly high on the field of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and let the "March of the Volunteer Army" be played loudly in the Capital Gymnasium.

A word is uttered, and the gold and jade do not move. Opportunities belong to hard-working, tenacious people. "Ren Ziwei fulfilled his promise on the field of the Beijing Winter Olympics!" Ni Huizhong told reporters after the game.

"There will always be people in the short track speed skating team who will stand up, we are the sharp knife of China's ice and snow, and the Chinese short track will never disappoint everyone." Practicing the original mission of communist party members, highlighting the positive energy of Chinese sports, and conveying the charm of ice and snow projects to more people, in the heart of 24-year-old Ren Ziwei, there are more missions waiting for him to complete.
