As the soundtrack of "With Heaven and Earth" came to an end, Yusheng raised his hands and slowly fell, condensing a smile in his breathlessness.
Between the strategy of winning the game and the jumping 4A action, he chose the latter. Floating and spinning in the air, when he landed, he fell.
Also a star player with great attention and high voice, Yusheng Yuxian did not set a record and win a medal like Gu Ailing. Yusuke, who graduated from Waseda University in Japan, is not like Gu Ailing, a "genius cultivation story" that is far away.
Habu comes from an ordinary family in Sendai, Japan, whose parents were neither elite nor rich in wealth. When he was a child, yusheng was more like an ordinary child - naughty and greedy, did not want to skate, was troubled by learning, had difficulty concentrating, and sometimes felt aggrieved by the boos of the audience.
So, how did the ordinary parents of Yusheng Yu string train this "awkward" little boy to become a world-class athlete, a super bully, and a high-quality idol loved by ice fans?
Looking back on the childhood time of Yusheng Knot, perhaps it is his parents who always pay attention to the child's inner feelings, and always have a grateful and humble "ordinary heart", in order to help Yu Sheng knotted like "turning stones into gold", helping Yu Sheng to ignite the enthusiasm of exploring the world, in the face of imperfections and regrets, can still live endlessly.
In this pair of ordinary parents who have cultivated the sons of the gods, there are many places that we can learn from.
01
If only I had to keep skating then,
Maybe I don't like it
The clean and graceful movements and gentle and pure temperament make Yusheng's string unforgettable.
However, he is elegant and charming on the field, and he also has a naughty side in private.
Imitating the new Yuki, dancing with his hands and feet, without any idol baggage.
You can also perform cross-border performances from time to time and interact with the audience.
This sunny and lively teenager seems to be like our neighbor's child, kind and loving.
He was once his sister's "ass worm", and when he was 4 years old, he walked on the ice rink without understanding.
Sitting on the side of the figure skating field where his sister trained, he couldn't help but make trouble, and was called to the ice rink by the helpless field coach, thus tapping his figure skating talent of "not afraid of falling" and "bold".
Later, Coach Field confessed: "I think he was reluctant half the time. Compared to skating, I look much happier when I play baseball with my dad. ”
In the face of the mischievous Yusheng knot, the headache coach sometimes couldn't hold back his emotions and angry at him: "Since you don't want to practice, go back!" Yu Sheng really listened to the coach's words and ran home crying.
Habu Yuki and Field Coach
In this way, Yu Sheng, who was training while crying, slid all the way into the scene of the competition. In his first national competition, he won the championship.
With the same hairstyle as the legendary Proshenkori of idol Russia, yusheng Yushin raised the trophy in the same posture.
However, the joy of winning the championship did not ignite Yu Sheng's love for figure skating.
Every time I entered the skating room after school, after less than 10 minutes of training, Yu Yu was impatient.
Coach Akiichiro Totsuki
Unlike his well-to-do parents, Yusei's father was the director of instruction at a local middle school and a baseball team advisor at the school, and his mother was at home full-time to take care of him and his sister. The father's salary is the only source of income for the whole family.
The Habu family, who could not afford a house, had to live in public rental housing, a benefit provided by the government to take care of low-income families.
However, it is such a family that is not rich, but also has to bear the cost of feathers and sister's expensive figure skating training.
Whenever they heard Yusheng's complaints, the parents who gave their best did not complain about The "inconsiderate" of Yusheng's strings, but were more concerned about Yusheng's strings: "Do you really like skating?" ”
After many joke-like conversations like this, finally one day, Yusei yusuke seriously told his father that he hated practicing skating a little and didn't want to continue.
Dad smiled lightly: "If you hate skating, you can give up." ”
Just like the father's expectation of his son when Yusheng knotted string was born: "Yusheng knot string, like an arrow on the string, stretched with degree." "No matter what, the most important thing is that my son is happy.
The relaxed family atmosphere gave Yusheng more choices, and also left him room to really think and grow.
After a period of precipitation and calm thinking, Yu Yu finally gave a positive answer: "I want to continue skating." ”
Yu sheng, who likes to be noticed by people and is so strong that he does not accept defeat, finally sees his heart clearly.
"I don't want to give in here, I've worked so hard to get here..."
After the goal was clear, Yusei Yuki found that the figure skating field in his eyes had changed, and it was no longer boring and boring, but more of a belief in "winning".
At the age of 11, Yusuke Yusuke set himself a lofty goal of representing Japan at the Olympic Games.
Someone once asked Yu yushin: If the attitude of your parents at that time was to urge you to insist on skating, would your choice be different?
"It's definitely different. I think that even if you love it at the beginning, you will slowly become disliked, and I feel that I will not even like the game in the end. ”
02
My parents would fight with me
In addition to The Feather String's love for figure skating, his parents also changed their attitude towards their son skating.
Because figure skating tests the player's control of the body and the imagination of the action. In order to make Yusheng Yuxin understand the action essentials faster, Yusheng Yuxin's father will silently shoot video materials for Yusheng Yusheng on the side of the field in addition to the usual pick-up.
At the beginning of 2020, because of the epidemic, Yusheng Yuxian once again stayed in his hometown to train, and the reporter who squatted found that although his son had long grown up, it was Yusheng Yusheng's father who drove his son to the ice rink to train every morning.
In addition to pick-up, in this rare father-son time together, the father will also try to talk with his son and discuss the technical difficulties in figure skating.
"I have a very theoretical side myself, but I will also be with my father, and the two of them will discuss and think together about what to do. It is precisely because of this that I have my current jump theory. ”
In addition to his father's full support, Yusheng's mother is also using actions to silently encourage Yusheng to knot.
Although in an interview with reporters, Yusheng's mother has always lamented that she does not intend to let her children learn figure skating, but the success of Yusheng's knots, her mother has also paid a lot.
Considering the financial problem, before winning the Olympic Games, Yu Yu's competition clothes were made by his mother.
After doing it for a long time, the mother has her own experience: the son is too thin, and the close-fitting clothes will look thinner; but it must also match his own role.
A race suit that was not completed in 3 days
When Yusei was in high school, his mother accompanied him to Canada to practice with Brian Oser, the coach who guided Kim Yeon-na to win the championship. In order to make The Feather String balanced and nutritious, my mother tried to prepare Japanese food every day to keep the Feather Knot String full of energy.
Meals prepared by mom
It is inevitable that there will be pain in the competitive game, and when Yu Yusuke once wanted to give up completely, it was his mother who stood up.
"How do you try it first?" As a rehabilitation training, go skating for a little while every day, and your state may improve in recent days. ”
Hearing her mother's encouragement, Yusei Yusuke suddenly had the idea that "the next NHK Cup must be won".
After the magnitude nine earthquake and tsunami in Sendai, Habu's training was also interrupted, and the idea of retiring was once again born.
At the critical moment, her mother stood up, and in addition to giving Yusheng the encouragement, she also insisted on going around contacting the new ice rink.
In the end, the mother let her son "rub" to the training ground in the form of 60 disaster relief performances, and used the tenacity of women to hold up a piece of the sky for Yusheng knotting strings.
At this Winter Olympics, Yu Yu refused to be accompanied by coach Brian Oser, and accompanied by his mother Yumi, came to the beijing capital gymnasium.
In his mind: "She (Mom) will fight with me, and the gold medal will always be the first for her to wear." ”
The mother who accompanied Yusei to participate in this Winter Olympics
The wholehearted dedication and support of Yusheng's parents have achieved the dazzling position of Yusheng In the figure skating world, and have also become his strong backing, so that Yusheng has the courage to brave difficulties and the persistence to realize his dreams.
At the 2014 Figure Skating Grand Prix in China, Yusheng Yusheng, who was warming up training before the competition, unfortunately collided with Yan Han, a Chinese player, whose head, jaw, abdomen, left thigh, and right foot joints were all damaged to varying degrees, and blood flowed from the wound and stained the ice red.
After a simple bandage, Habu came on with an injury, and in the four-and-a-half-minute game, he fell down five times, but climbed up again and again.
In the midst of the pain, Yusei never wanted to give up quitting the game, and in the end he finished second with a total score of 237.55 points, staging the "Blood Phantom" on the ice rink.
Yusheng Yuxian once used "a lifetime of suspense" to describe the meaning of figure skating to himself.
And the source of all this courage may be a sentence sent by dad at the door of his home when he returned home after PyeongChang's hegemony in 2018: "You have worked hard!" ”
At this time, a thousand words, all in silence.
03
I want to be an "adult with common sense"
Many high-level athletes will face the dual challenges of academics and competitions.
However, in Yusei's body, the miracle was staged again, and he was successfully admitted to Waseda University in Japan as a guaranteed place for non-sports students.
In fact, like ordinary boys, Yusheng Yushin also has learning problems. When he achieved the best results of his age in figure skating, he was also under pressure to go to school.
He also sometimes complains: "I'm also the kind of person who doesn't concentrate very much when I'm studying." When I write a college report now, I still feel like, 'Ah, I don't want to write.' The process of concentration is really hard..."
But just when Yu sheng was dragging his feet, his mother would always appear in time.
But Mom wasn't very good at using imperative tones. "My mother didn't say ' go and learn,' but 'that's all I have to do now?' Is this good? ’”
In his mother's "reflective teaching", Yusheng Knot gradually ignited his inner motivation and pushed himself to do better. He will also do everything he can to help himself concentrate.
"I'll try to keep my mind focused for 1 minute, or 30 seconds. The same is true for writing a report, first try to write a sentence, write and write, if there is no idea below that you can't write, take a little rest. Write a little after 2 minutes or 3 minutes, go on like this, write for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and many times you can concentrate on writing down unconsciously. ”
Outside the ice rink, Yu yu's parents want him to see more scenery in the distance. As a teacher, his father never relaxed yusheng's study at all, and he often said to his son: "Patronizing skating, it is impossible not to study." ”
It is said that in order to catch up with the progress of his studies, Yusei Yusuke carries textbooks and reference books with him to participate in the regional competitions held in Japan. He can also always see stitches and needles, take advantage of the gap between airport waiting, long-distance flights, etc., and constantly learn to do homework.
In the little-known corner, Yusheng Yuxian silently made a lot of efforts in order to learn.
The motivation to study so hard also comes from the words that my mother hangs on her lips: "Please become an adult with common sense."
Not too high expectations, but in culture and knowledge, there are certain requirements for his son, this just right request, let Yu Sheng yu string with gratitude.
"Thanks to these words of my mother, I have not slackened my efforts in both studying and figure skating, and I am very grateful for my achievements."
With the encouragement of his parents, Yu Yushin understood: "If you want to conquer the world, you can't do it without a mind."
The uncompromising Feather Knot on the field also transferred the idea of not accepting defeat to learning.
His high school math teacher, Endo, once said matter-of-factly: "Yusei's grades are above 90 points, and he never defaults on homework." Not only mathematics, but Chinese are also very prominent".
After being admitted to Waseda University, Yusei Yusei did not relax his requirements for himself. Although he trained in Canada to prepare for the Olympic Games, Yu Yu has never left the online course.
The president of Waseda University commented: "Yusei Yusuke worked harder than expected, and he wrote his thesis well before each competition, and he was able to apply what he learned, which was an example for early adulthood." ”
Just last August, Yusei yushin handed over his graduation thesis "Land Jump Research Based on 3D Motion Capture Technology", which he studied.
In order to get more accurate data, Yu sheng put on a motion catcher and practiced jumping for three and a half weeks, thus successfully digitizing this jumping action.
Yusei Hopes to eliminate the "human factor" in figure skating as much as possible through his own research, so that more figure skaters can master the "correct techniques that can create art".
Under the constant encouragement of his parents, the child who could not sit still in the past has now become a great athlete who loves and has light in his eyes.
With his faith, in the future life road, he will also go more and more smoothly, as his parents wish, see more beautiful scenery.

Why do so many people still dislike me?
In addition to his amazing athletic achievements and excellent academic performance, Yusheng Yuxin is better known for his smiling face.
He will take the initiative to comfort his opponent when he is overtaken, encourage the winning junior in time, and even cross half the ice rink to help him when other players fall.
He would adjust the flag for the Chinese players, turn around and smile and applaud the presenters as they presented awards to other players.
After the press conference, when everyone was gone, he carefully moved the stool back and turned off the microphone.
His tenderness to the world comes from his mother's teachings when he was young.
In Yu yusuke's autobiography, it is mentioned that when he was a child, he heard some boos at a competition and asked his mother: Why do many people still dislike me?
He was impressed by his mother's answer: It was because you weren't grateful enough.
Only by looking at the world with goodwill will we be rewarded with the world's goodwill. After understanding this, the feather knot string behind the opening of the heart is more emotionally accessible.
Before each competition, he would stroke Winnie the Pooh, who had been with him for many years, which was a symbol of the Sendai earthquake at that time, when a big brother protected and encouraged Habu to tie the strings and give gifts.
He will also sincerely praise his opponents and crawl away from the side of his knees in order not to affect the interviews of his teammates.
After Yusheng became famous, in order to avoid public attention, the family moved into the indoor apartment, and their parents acted low-key, avoiding most of the media interviews, just to leave a warm harbor for Yusheng.
In the eyes of Yusheng's parents, Yusheng is not a star, but the youngest boy in the family.
"When I came home for a long time, my father and sister loved me like a child, not to talk about skating, everyone enthusiastically discussed hot topics on TV, played games happily, and sometimes mixed mouths, and my hometown was a place where I could return with 'my own self', which made me feel very happy." 」
In this tacit understanding maintained by his parents with love, the empathetic Yusheng knot has always maintained the gentleness and humility of the past, not burdened by fame, and become more sunny and confident.
With "effort will lie, but effort will not be in vain!" With the confidence and the support of his family, Yu sheng is now in the competition, no longer judge himself by ranking, but is more concerned about whether he can have a heartfelt smile after the performance.
This is why he lost his debut in this Winter Olympics, a helpless and gentle sigh: "I was hated by ice today." ”
Immediately after, he laughed and said, "It seems that we cannot do one good deed a day, but we should do ten good deeds a day."
Perhaps, it is in this warm and loving, low-key and plain family that it is possible to cultivate a child like Yusei Yushin who sincerely faces himself and maintains a pure pursuit of what he loves in his heart.
As he said in his post-match interview, instead of focusing on winning the game, he rushed to finish the 4A:
I've trained for it alone for a long time and failed and fallen many times. In Beijing, if I focus on how to win the game, there are many other options, but completing the 4A is the strongest motivation in my heart, so I want to successfully complete this action.
The enlightenment that Yusei yushin gives us may be for every "ordinary player" who strives to move forward in life, whether he is successful enough or not, as long as he loves life, works hard and is kind, he deserves respect. Ordinary and sober parents, too.
