On September 28, 2001, there was a big autumn wind blowing on Babao Mountain, although it was a little cool, but as soon as the day dawned, many people came from the bottom of the mountain.
Eventually, on the morning of that day, more than 3,000 people gathered on Babao Mountain. Because the place on the mountain was too small to stand these people, they silently lined up in a line of fifty or sixty meters, meandering down, slowly moving up in the cold wind.
The morning wind blew the exposed hands cold and numb, but these people did not care, but carefully guarded the roses in their arms, and they had to personally send these flowers to the farewell room on the mountain, to the deceased "bodybuilding queen" Ma Hua there.
A woman reached over the rose in her arms and looked in the direction of the farewell room.
At this moment, a man came up and took the initiative to say: "Hello, although it is very presumptuous to say this, is it strange to bring roses to the funeral?" Is there any special reason for this? ”
The woman heard this and said, "You're not here for the funeral, are you?" The man touched his nose in embarrassment: "I am a journalist who wants to do a report about MCA, so I have traveled thousands of miles to get here." ”
The woman nodded, "I also came here in a long way." The reason why I bring roses is because MCA likes it. "Are you familiar with her?" The reporter asked.
The woman smiled and said, "You may not believe it when you say it, but I spoke to her once." ”
Later, the reporter asked a lot of people and found that among the more than 3,000 people, many people had only taken MCA aerobics classes, and more people had only watched MCA on TV, so they didn't even have the opportunity to talk to MCA.
Mca
The reporter was a little puzzled, but just with the practice of aerobics, how did MCA make so many people miss her, even a stranger who had only seen her once had such a high evaluation of her?
What kind of person is she?
Extraordinary origins
The difference in MCA may have been predestined from the moment she was born.
MCA was born into a military family in 1960, but unlike other families, her father was 70 years old and her mother was retired.
When MCA was born at this age, MCA's mother was so happy that she couldn't sleep for several nights. For MCA's brothers and sisters, who are dozens of years older, they look at this little girl like their own children, so the family is very fond of MCA.
According to MCA's recollection, her older siblings at that time had long passed the age of playing children's games, but as long as she wanted, her brothers and sisters would tirelessly play with her.
"When I was a child, I especially liked to play hide-and-seek, but when I was young, I couldn't hide, so I hid behind a tree and covered my face, thinking that others wouldn't find me." In fact, the tree was very small, and most of my body was exposed outside, but it was just a cover for the bell. MCA smiled every time he recalled it.
However, it is impossible for MCA to grow up in this greenhouse all his life, so in this matter of strict requirements for MCA, it is MCA father who takes over.
Because of their military background, MCA fathers felt that they should raise their children with the idea that they should cultivate tough qualities. Therefore, even if MCA is his favorite child, MCA father is just as strict with her.
MCA remembers that although his father was retired at that time, he always maintained the good habits of the military. He got up early every day, got up and started running and punching.
At this time, he will also be called up, and he will follow his father with two short fat legs and run after him. Even though my father deliberately slowed down at the time, he was often "tired and paralyzed.".
Not to mention military body boxing, which was fun when it was first practiced, and could be imitated there with a wild wave of arms. But once I practiced for a long time, I felt very boring, especially when MCA was still very small, I couldn't settle down at all.
Seeing that MCA could not hold on any longer, MCA's father would teach her what to do when a soldier encountered difficulties.
"You are a child of a soldier, you should have the same qualities as a soldier, and you must not easily shrink back when facing things, you know?"
MCA nodded as if he understood.
Because the father and daughter spent a lot of time together, after each exercise, MCA's father would tell her about military affairs and tell the story of the soldiers, and since then, MCA has begun to have some vision of military life.
Although the children's ideas are wild, and no one can say the direction when they grow up, but after hearing and seeing them again and again, coupled with the military temperament emitted by their fathers, slowly, wearing a military uniform has become MCA's dream. She longs for one day to walk the path her father has walked and become a daughter who truly makes her father proud.
Therefore, when applying for the school, MCA resolutely chose Beijing Sports School. There she can get more professional guidance and training, laying a good foundation for her future military career.
Beijing Sports School also began training from the morning, but the training intensity was greater and the duration was longer. MCA thought he had been trained by his father, and it would be no problem to face this level of training.
"But when I entered the sports school, I learned that the training that my father designed for me before was all a small fight. He still hurt me so much that he didn't want me to suffer at all. ”
Beijing Sports School is different, and those who can enter this school are either very talented in sports or old fritters who have been training for many years. Therefore, teachers will never be polite to students.
They tried to test the limits of these students as much as possible, and the intensity of the daily training program was so intense that MCA collapsed. Moreover, the sports school also has a punishment mechanism, and those who cannot be completed or are not completed within the specified time must be trained.
Because MCA's foundation is not as good as others, she is often trained by the teacher, and by the time her practice is over, others have already finished eating. When MCA dragged his tired and painful body to the canteen, only some scraps were left in the canteen.
And they practice sports, the daily bumps will not be less, Ma Hua's skin is white, and there will be bruises and purple marks on the body at every turn.

"I can't embarrass my dad, no matter what, I must stick to the end." With this belief, MCA has been gritting her teeth to train, and when her body adapts, she feels less tired.
Gradually, MCA, who had a strong interest in physical training, began to find happiness in the school's physical exercise, and her grades became better and better as she worked hard. When it came time to graduate, MCA had a strong sense of reluctance, and she felt that her training career should not end here.
So MCA picked up his childhood dream, joined the army, and put on the military uniform of his dreams.
Give up shelter and start a business
A few years passed quickly, and it was time for MCA to retire from the army. At that time, although his father had long since retired, as a general who was in a high position at that time, he still had some connections.
If MCA is willing, the father is willing to open his face and ask for the next opportunity for his daughter to remain as an officer. But MCA refused.
Because MCA knows his father's personality, he understands that this matter violates the father's principle of being a man. Even if his father is willing to sacrifice, as a son of man, MCA definitely does not want his father to do what he does not want to do for himself.
In addition, MCA, who has been taken care of by her family since she was a child, has never independently thought about her future, and this time she wants to fight for herself.
Mca
MCA began to try to start her own business, but many of the industries she tried did not stir up any splash. The family was worried that she would collapse, but MCA remained optimistic.
Who succeeded all at once? If this doesn't work, try the next one, anyway, success is there, it will always arrive, no matter how far it is, no matter how long.
After several encounters with a wall, MCA discovered aerobics.
At that time, China was developing rapidly, and all walks of life were thriving, but Chinese the conservative and reserved in their bones were still there.
Therefore, although aerobics have become popular everywhere in foreign countries and have tried to introduce them in some places in China, it is still a bit unacceptable to the people in the face of this kind of cool wear that requires exposing arms and thighs.
But Mahua loves the sport.
She had been engaged in physical training for many years, but whether in the training her father had arranged for her or in the courses of sports schools and the army, those programs were too specialized and more suitable for men.
At that time, MCA wondered why it could not invent a women's program that would allow many girls even who are not in the sports industry to play sports.
Therefore, she likes aerobics and does not want to give up this opportunity, MCA should start with aerobics and design a sport that is suitable for the Chinese public and can arouse the interest of the whole people. Let everyone move happily and completely tear off the label of "sick man of East Asia" in the eyes of foreigners.
After that, MCA began to learn everything about aerobics, including the origins of aerobics and the detailed requirements in various aerobics moves.
As a result, as MCA expected, aerobics is a popular sport for foreigners, and its movement design is more suitable for foreigners' body structure and muscle lines. To transform it into a national movement in China, the MCA needs to make some changes to it.
If you want to change something, you must first understand it, and MCA spent several years studying and studying, and finally successfully passed the national bodybuilding referee level in 1989.
In the days that followed, MCA served as a referee for national bodybuilding competitions every year, and learned the essentials of these competitions and began to design its own bodybuilding system.
In 1991, MCA applied for a fitness coach at Platform Health City, where he began to promote his aerobics concept.
At first, naturally, no one cared, and even if someone came to study, they gave up in a few days.
MCA is well aware of the importance of exercise to a person's physical fitness and health, but she understands even more how difficult it is for a person who has not exercised for a long time to suddenly become interested in exercise and develop regular exercise habits.
So MCA once again studied aerobics, and this time, she used a state of near madness to shout pats and chant slogans, and she was determined to use her enthusiasm to attract more people to learn.
At her insistence, more and more people began to understand MCA's aerobics and began to take the initiative to dance with her. Slowly, they found that their bodies had undergone amazing changes, not only lighter than before, but also more graceful.
Women, in particular, have very beautiful muscle lines after practicing with MCA. The longer they persist, the more they can observe the exquisite curvy beauty of their bodies.
In this way, MCA used his personal charm to infect the female students in the entire fitness city. When MCA began to exercise, she was like a shining sun, attracting everyone's attention.
The rhythm of MCA's mouth matches her movements, and when she puts on her own design, the whole person is like a dancing butterfly, full of exuberant vitality. After the exercise, although Ma Hua was sweating, she looked very happy.
The female trainees who danced with MCA understood her feelings very well at the moment. Because they are like MCA, although they are very tired, but this tiredness makes them feel refreshed and especially happy.
For a time, MCA aerobics began to take off. By word of mouth, MCA aerobics have been sought after by many people. However, this way of spreading is too slow, and MCA's goal is to hope that the people of the whole country can keep up with her.
Mca
Therefore, with the support of CCTV, MCA began to do the TV program "Bodybuilding 5 Minutes", promoting its bodybuilding concept on TV and teaching everyone how to do it hand in hand.
The charm of MCA and aerobics swept across China for a time, and many women abandoned their stereotypes and began to boldly stand in front of the TV and follow MCA in sports. A large number of people flocked to the fitness city to attend MCA aerobics training classes. Because of this, people at that time began to call her "Bodybuilding Queen".
MCA was so happy that she didn't give up her career in fitness city just because she became a bodybuilding star. On the contrary, no matter how busy MCA is, it will take time out of three hours of classes every week.
The fitness city prepared one of the largest rooms for her, but because there were too many people, the rooms were still crowded. Sometimes, when everyone jumps in aerobics, they can't even stretch their arms, and it is always easy to hit others.
Still, everyone is happy.
Some people recall the scene and feel a little sighing: "MCA has such a charm, whether it is men or women will be attracted to her." 」 ”
So everyone has to go to MCA classes, even if they miss a section, they are very remorseful.
accidentally
Until 2001, MCA practiced aerobics in the classroom.
In fact, at this time, she was no longer the coach she had been, as early as 1998, MCA opened her own club and became the chairman. In just a few years, MCA health clubs have spread across cities.
At this time, MCA could have retired from this, but too many people liked her and wanted to practice with her, so MCA did not stop her lessons.
In addition to the daily classes, MCA also participates in TV shows to teach everyone the correct fitness concept on TV, so that those who cannot come to class can also follow their own exercise.
Mca
On 16 February 2001, MCA happened to have a class, but she felt very uncomfortable from the morning.
MCA is prone to allergies, and this feeling of scalding hot body is not unfamiliar to her. But this time, MCA did not contact any allergens, how can it suddenly have a fever?
Although MCA had some doubts, he didn't pay much attention because he had to rush to class.
After arriving at the club, the colleague saw that Ma Hua was pale and her body was hot, so he brought her a thermometer. The measurements showed that MCA did have a high fever, and colleagues were a little worried and asked her to go back to rest.
MCA shook her head: "These students have come to my class on purpose, and if I don't go, they will be very disappointed." ”
MCA insisted on getting on the bodybuilding platform, and as soon as he stood in a familiar place, MCA swept away his fatigue and began with a smile as usual. In this way, MCA danced for two hours, from beginning to end, and no one doubted her physical condition.
At that time, no one would have imagined that this would be the last time MCA would come to class.
Two days later, MCA went to the recording of the last episode of the show "Weight Loss Tracking".
That day she still had a high fever, the whole person was full of blood, and she couldn't lift her spirits. But at the beginning of the show, MCA forced himself to return to his previous appearance and complete his work energetically, so that the show ended perfectly.
After it was over, MCA fainted as soon as he relaxed. The crowd rushed her to the hospital, but after a diagnosis, they learned that MCA did not have a fever at all, but had a serious leukemia.
The news was a thunderbolt for everyone, and everyone began to blush, but MCA smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the current medical care is so developed, I will be fine." ”
MCA hid the news that he was sick, saying only that he was allergic and needed to rest for a while. She hopes that what she has left for others will always be a vibrant, positive and healthy side.
The parents' MCA was even more secretive, they were old and could not withstand such a blow.
After that, Mca lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the pain of chemotherapy made her face dry and her hair began to fall in pieces. Sister Ma Li was heartbroken, the little sister loved beauty the most, how could she bear to become like this.
Mca
MCA was stronger than everyone thought. The pain of chemotherapy made her face distort, but she could still laugh and quip at the doctor: "Why am I not good, are you hiding all the good medicines?" ”
She is still the sun, doing everything she can to bring joy to others and drive away sorrow.
But such a MCA was eventually taken away by God, and she left this world on September 22, 2001 without leaving a single last word.
Until the day before his death, MCA still firmly believed that he would be cured, and told his sister what he would do after he recovered, asking her if she wanted to dance aerobics with her.
She was so warm and beautiful, trying to live, trying her best to do what she wanted to do, she didn't believe that she would die.
Mca
But MCA's life stopped forever at the age of 41, at her most brilliant time.
This news made many people who liked her unacceptable, even if they were already standing on the Eight Treasure Mountain and seeing so many people who came to mourn, their hearts were still in a trance.
It was as if MCA had never left, and as soon as he turned around, he could see her standing there in beautiful clothes, waving her arms and dancing.
