The trip to the Beijing Winter Olympics has finally come to a successful end.
In this short period of 20 days, there are too many moments that make us excited, and there are too many moments that make us tear up.
There is a picture that magically haunts my mind for several days and cannot be forgotten for a long time.
That is, Fan Kexin, after the last game, religiously knelt on the ice and kissed deeply.
Many people broke through the defense in an instant.
Fan Kexin, who is only 29 years old, uses the ice rink to connect his entire youth.
In the last game, she turned the tide with the last baton and won the bronze medal for China in one fell swoop.
On February 5, she had just won her first gold medal at the Winter Olympics in the team competition.
She waited a full 12 years for this day.
No one knows how hard she has worked to get a gold and a bronze result in this Winter Olympics trip.
Many people think that playing ice and snow projects must be the children of rich families.
But Fan Ke's new family situation has nothing to do with money, and it can even be described as difficult.
When Xiao Fan Kexin was only 7 years old, his family was too poor to open the pot, and was taken by his parents to Qitaihe to run to relatives and live in a "new home" of less than 6 square meters and surrounded by tin sheets, with a rent of 130 yuan.
In order to support the family, his father repaired shoes and tires, and the whole family was very poor.
Despite this, his parents enrolled Fan Kexin in a dance class for the naturally active Fan Kexin.
Every little girl has a princess dream. Fan Kexin happily went to school, but after two weeks he chose to give up.
It turned out that for the clothing fee of 150 yuan, she lied to her parents that she didn't like it and didn't want to learn it.
You know, at that time, Fan Kexin was just a primary school student.
Sensible children are always mature enough to be painful.
On weekdays, she would go with her mother to pick up mineral water bottles, paper shells, and sell them for toys.
The pants I picked up in the trash can were worn for a few years.
If you don't learn dance, what do you learn?
At that time, Fan Kexin turned his head and entered the Qitaihe Amateur Sports School and began ice training.
Let Fan Kexin lose his dance dream and turn his head into this tiring and bitter project, precisely because of a sentence from the short track speed skating coach: as long as you train hard, you will not be charged tuition.
In this way, Fan Kexin, who was only 10 years old at the time, had to get up at 4 o'clock every day and stumble and train in the cold wind of minus 20 or 30 degrees.
One day, Fan Kexin's mother was surprised to find that the daughter she held in the palm of her hand was already covered with new and old scars.
Especially on the feet that take off the skates, there is basically no complete place.
Her mother told her to give up, and she said no.
This kind of self-discipline is really shocking.
I have seen many self-disciplined people, but the problem is that those who have all experienced hundreds of battles and killed in blood are adults.
But she was just a child, a child still in elementary school.
Hard work pays off.
In the superposition of countless new injuries and old injuries, Fan Kexin gradually became an excellent speed skater.
In 2003, the coach of the provincial team came to select someone, and Fan Kexin won the opportunity to go to Harbin with his absolute strength.
But the problem that lies ahead of reality has emerged.
Fan Kexin did not pay attention to eating and wearing, but the worn-out skates under her feet could no longer accompany her to continue the conquest. The price of a pair of professional skates is equivalent to the living expenses of the whole family for one year.
When the whole family hesitated to quit the ice rink, Ma Qingzhong, the coach of Xicai, paid for herself and bought her a pair of skates worth 2500 yuan.
Fan Kexin was touched and repaid this selfless kindness with more efforts and sweat.
But the accident happened again.
In 2008, Fan Kexin suffered from severe adolescence iron deficiency anemia, the normal hemoglobin of the average person is 13, she only has 7, and the daily dizziness makes her have to terminate her training.
Fortunately, even if the family is struggling with life, they have not given up.
Born with a spoiled physique, Fan Kexin met the support of enthusiastic people and received targeted treatment in Harbin.
Fan Kexin, who returned to the field, finally turned into a free soaring goshawk and began to achieve various good results.
Because only if you have experienced almost losing, you will feel cherished.
Fan Kexin, who has come to this step, began to have his own BGM.
The conquest of the world championship officially kicked off at this time
In 2010, Fan Kexin officially entered the national team.
Five months later, she and her idol Wang Meng became teammates for the World Cup.
In the women's relay race in the 3,000 meters, four Chinese girls worked together to win the gold medal in one fell swoop.
Since then, she has also become the world champion human meat harvester.
In 2011, at the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships in Sheffield, England, Fan Kexin won the gold medal in the women's 500 meters, and with his teammates won the gold medal in the women's 3000 meters relay.
In 2014, Fan Kexin won the gold medal in the 500m of the Salt Lake City World Cup and set a new record held by idol Wang Mao.
In 2015, Fan Kexin won the women's 500m championship of the short track speed skating World Cup in Turkey.
In 2016, she won the women's 500m final at the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships.
Behind these impressive achievements are countless sweats and tears, hard training that ordinary people cannot understand, and they are also accompanied by the loss of Olympic champions again and again.
Gradually, some people will criticize her for being unstable and too heavy on gain and loss.
She was also blunt: I just want to win the gold medal! I just want to win!
Yeah, she wants to win so much!
Only by winning can she be worthy of her brother who dropped out of school, silently supported her family, and the coach who bought her skates...
And all the simple and enthusiastic Chinese people who lifted her heart along the way.
So, After Winning the first gold medal, Fan Kexin, who has been in the national team for 12 years, will choke up and say:
"I've been waiting for this gold medal for too long, everyone is training hard every day, there is blood in the throat, we are all the best."
Look back at the photo at the beginning of the kneeling with a deep kiss.
Some people always say that this is Fan Kexin's final farewell to the ice rink.
In fact, it is not, fan ke's new journey has just begun.
"I'm only 29 years old, I still love short track speed skating, as long as the country needs me, I will continue to skate."
This is a real miracle, a miracle that belongs to Chinese.
Some people say: Fan Kexin's shoe repair shop, Zhou Yang's lottery station, Xu Mengtao's barbecue shop, these three Olympic champions represent a history of scars in the northeast.
It is not so much a history of scars as it is a Chinese dream that represents more ordinary people.
In China, there are countless such stories.
Like Gu Ailing and Su Yiming, the freedom and love they exude is certainly desirable.
But more local athletes, like Fan Kexin, like Quan Hongchan, like Gong Lijiao, like women's football... They have the tenacity of Chinese women.
Their tears and sweat are too complicated, they carry heavy prejudices, and they are tasked with changing the fate or environment of the entire family.
Either Caesar or nobody.
Won the championship, known to the world;
Did not win the championship, continue to be patient, and kill a bloody road from the fierce competition of sports.
Blossom in suffering, be a bird in thorns.
This kind of change of life against the sky is what moves us the most, and it is the real Chinese dream!
