In the eyes of everyone, Hu Jinqiu is a real man who suffered a spleen rupture and bleeding in the CBA semifinals and insisted on finishing the game without saying a word; an athlete who tried his best to exhaust Yao Ming's emojis in the Olympic three-person basketball game; and a dutiful captain of Zhejiang Guangsha Club.

But he is also a child who will cry bitterly with his mother on the bench at the gate of Tsinghua High School, an ordinary person who will often yearn for university life, and a cold disciple who is so excited that he can't speak when he eats McDonald's for the first time.
Hu Jinqiu, 15, is an ordinary child in Korla, Xinjiang, but faces the most important decision of his life. Because of his extraordinary physical talent, the Xinjiang Guanghui Club is willing to provide Hu Jinqiu with conditions that ordinary people cannot refuse, and the club will provide a place for his parents in Urumqi, as well as an annual salary far beyond ordinary people.

But Hu Jinqiu, who was only 15 years old at the time, like ordinary children, with curiosity about the outside world, rejected the Xinjiang Guanghui Club and only wanted to go out and see the outside world.
At that time, Tsinghua Affiliated High School and Zhejiang Guangsha Club both threw olive branches at him, and Hu Jinqiu chose Zhejiang Guangsha Club after various considerations. But Hu Jinqiu's mother cried into tears because she felt that it was because of her poor family conditions that Hu Jinqiu had some scruples, so she gave up Tsinghua High School, gave up the opportunity to go to college, and chose to enter the society in advance.
When Hu Jinqiu talked about the scene at that time, he claimed that he would never forget it for the rest of his life, and he and his mother hugged each other on the bench at the entrance of Tsinghua High School and cried bitterly, and at that time he felt that he needed to grow up. Although Hu Jinqiu's academic performance was very good at that time, and going to college was also his dream, from that moment on, he only wanted to make money through basketball to buy a house for his parents and live a good life.
Finally arriving in Hangzhou, more than 4,000 kilometers away from his hometown, he had a strong curiosity about to come into contact with new things, but he also had a hint of timidity. He wasn't sure if the people there would not accept him because of his origins, but fortunately the people there respected him and did not look down on him at all because of his bad origins, and the teammates of the youth team patiently taught Hu Jinqiu, who ate McDonald's for the first time.
Of course, Hu Jinqiu did not live up to the hopes of Guangsha, trained hard, continued to improve, in the 2019 CBA officially announced the captains of the teams, the captain of zhejiang Guangsha Lions Club on the list is Hu Jinqiu. In 2021, representing China in the three-person men's basketball event of the Tokyo Olympic Games, although the record is not good, but Hu Jinqiu's sweat on the field is still seen by the majority of fans. In the CBA League 2021-2022 regular season individual award selection results, Zhejiang Guangsha player Hu Jinqiu was selected as the most valuable player (MVP) of the regular season.
After this season's CBA playoff semifinals Guangsha vs. Shanghai G2, Hu Jinqiu sat on the bench for a long time, even accompanied by vomiting, and was soon taken to the hospital, diagnosed with a ruptured spleen. It should be known that spleen rupture is not a trivial matter, and in the past few years, there have been cases of ineffective rescue due to spleen rupture.
With 3 minutes and 40 seconds left in the final quarter of the game, Hu Jinqiu was hit by Shanghai Jiushi player Jamal Franklin on the left side of the rib while scrambling for rebounds. But he was still running on the field, desperately defending, giving his teammates a front block, and everything seemed as if the discomfort in his left abdomen no longer existed.
Even when he was taken to the hospital for surgery, he was still asking the doctor if it would affect his next semi-finals and Asian Games matches. The next game after undergoing surgery is also in the team group chat to remind teammates to carry equipment and equipment color.
It is precisely because of Hu Jinqiu's sportsmanship that we can see a glimmer of hope for the Chinese men's basketball team. If every player is like Hu Jinqiu, conscientious and conscientious, trying his best on the pitch, although he can't get good results, the fans will be very happy, such a player is the uncrowned king in our hearts.
Hu Jinqiu's story sets a good example for those cold disciples. As long as you work hard, keep your original intention, never stop thinking, and wait until the opportunity comes to grasp it, the result will not be too bad.
Finally, I wish Hu Jinqiu a speedy recovery and a triumphant return!
