The new history of qitaihe
Start writing from this moment on
Meng Qingyu in a speed skating competition
When working as a coal miner
Meng Qingyu has a nickname called "Muzi"
"Mule" often refers to bulls
Self-improvement, hard work and enterprising "Muzi Spirit"
He also brought him to skating training
Meng Qingyu put the initial training site
Choose near a humble open-air floodlit pitch
Since there was no indoor ice rink at that time
They trained by pouring ice on the open space during the day
Stayed under the stadium stands next to it at night
Meng Qingyu's work and living place at the beginning of the formation of the speed skating team
There is no ice pouring machine
Meng Qingyu put a large iron barrel
Place on the climbing plow as a water tank
A total of one ton weighs heavily
Braving temperatures of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius
Get up early every morning to pour ice
An ice poured down
The droplets of water splashing on the body froze into ice
He almost became an "Iceman"
Meng Qingyu's homemade ice pouring truck
"Start from scratch" from here
Meng Qingyu will skate
Hobbies from the Qitai river people in their leisure time
Push the path of competitive sports
Laid the foundation for the city
The foundation of a career in ice sports
Since 1985
With the team members achieving results in national and provincial competitions
The Heilongjiang Provincial Sports Bureau is the Qitaihe Speed Skating Team
Indoor skating pitches are available
Meng Qingyu began to lead the team to Harbin for training

Shift from speed skating to short track speed skating
Some people felt unsure and objected
But his "mule" temper came up again
Always stick to your ideas
