After Yang Qian fired the last shot, her father "Teng" bounced up from the chair and began to applaud.
The villagers behind them began to wave the national flag a second later - the last shot reversed the opponent, with a total score of 251.8 rings, won the first gold medal in China and the first gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics in the women's 10m air rifle final!

Although the Tokyo Olympics were postponed for one year, Yang Qian has been in excellent condition during the preparation process.
Yang Qian, who was on the Olympic field, looked back and saw the coach who had jumped up with his hands raised and cheered, and there was still no wave on his face, but he was just telling that this was a gift from Chinese youth to the motherland.
Quan Hongchan, who was only 14 years old and 130 days old, became the second youngest diving Olympic champion after Fu Mingxia.
Compared with many young geniuses in the diving industry, Quan Hongchan did not contact diving earlier, and was selected by the coach to contact diving at the age of seven or eight, and had not practiced other sports before.
Quan Hongchan's family conditions are not good, her parents are farming for a living, and her mother has been in a traffic accident before and has been hospitalized three times.
The young Quan Hongchan only knew that it cost a lot of money for her mother to treat her illness, and she only knew that if she won the gold medal, her mother would have money to treat her illness.
Therefore, when many children of the same age are still enjoying the daily meticulous care of their parents, Quan Hongchan is already alone on the jumping stage.

"Every game you have to think about how to jump, not necessarily think about winning, better than your previous self."
In addition to those Olympic champions in the spotlight, every young person living in all corners of the world is also working hard for his dreams and loves.
A post-00s boy Ayu who loves rap music, brought a guitar to the dormitory on the first day of high school, played and sang despite the warnings of the dormitory, became famous in one fell swoop, and then never missed any performance at school.
But his parents did not approve of his choice of future, and after the college entrance examination, his parents asked Ayu to study pharmacy. The dry formulas in the lab, the chemical equations in the classroom, and the dense theory of drugs made him miserable.
In order to pursue her dream, Ayu had to find spare time to teach herself music theory, and set up a rap club without any guidance.
Suffering is a necessary stage of metamorphosis. Wang Xiaobo also wrote in the "Golden Age":
"I was twenty-one years old that day, in the golden age of my life. I have a lot of extravagant hopes. I want to love, I want to eat, and I want to turn into a half-light and half-dark cloud in the sky in an instant. ”
This is also the true desire of Ayu's generation of young people.
"What is youth, and what is youth?" For love and love, whether it is the Youth Olympics or the ordinary North Drift or the young students with dreams, they are all the moving appearance of this generation of endless struggle.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > in the spotlight, lovely because of love</h1>
Everyone plays the role they yearn for and expect on the stage of life, and the efforts of young people on the real stage are more symbolic and more moving.
For the sake of musical ideals, they use melody and dance posture to portray a variety of "life", and every minute and every second of the rhythm reflects "one minute on stage, ten years off stage".
Chen Zhuoxuan, a member of Hard Candy Girl 303, said with a sentence: "Am I not standing tall enough?" "Hot all over the internet. Frank and straightforward, she was violently questioned, and more than 10,000 comments struck.
After all, in previous audition shows, there has almost never been a contestant who has expressed his ambitions and desires so directly to the local and public.
But most people ignored Chen Zhuoxuan's second half of the speech, "If so, I will do my best to go higher and climb up with my founders, as I just said." ”
In the variety show "Bursting Stage", when standing on the stage again, while saying "nervous, how can it not be nervous?" Chen Zhuoxuan, while shocking everyone with a 90-second song "Open".
The ethereal singing voice showed her talent and past efforts, and the stage was opened to her, and with one last effort, ushered in a triumphant smile.

In the same program, the promotional song "VVS" in which singer Shan Yichun participated was very challenging. She does not have the right to choose her own advantage under the rules of the competition, and she also needs to quickly sing a new song within 90 seconds, singing and dancing, and shooting to the end.
In the face of this challenge, shan Yichun was difficult to accept at first, she could neither rap nor dance so well, and once she was nervous and crying to the point of wanting to abandon the game.
But in order to be able to win this hard-won opportunity, Shan Yichun still insisted on the whole field with the support of his teammates and stepped out of his comfort zone.

Yamy Guo Ying has had brilliant moments that everyone envies, has danced street dance for more than ten years before participating in the selection program, and has also been a street dance teacher, can do a variety of dances, and has a stable fan.
But in the competition, most of the other emerging female musicians are 7-8 years younger than her, as if they are separated by a mountain. After all, for artists, 10 years of youth is a short life.
Her rap ability has also won praise from her mentor many times in the show, but this girl always seems to have shortcomings and luck, and has not been able to let more people remember.
But she still chose to continue to take the stage, competing with many female musicians and rookies. Her strength ignited the entire recording scene again, and after getting full tickets, Yamy Guo Ying choked up and said "Yamy is coming back".

She described herself carrying a backpack to study, learning along the way to pick up many fruits and harvesting a full harvest. But while climbing the highest mountain, she encountered a bottleneck in gravity, and she could only continue to move forward by throwing away the burden on her body.
After Yamy Guo Ying's performance, Wu Xuanyi, who used to be a teammate, commented with tears and told her: "You have grown."
"Veteran" Zhou Jieqiong can be regarded as the predecessor of most of the players on the stage. At the age of 18, she made her debut in a foreign country, with long hair, fair skin, tall figure and strong stage performance, she was particularly prominent in the crowd as Yamy Guo Ying said.
Zhou Jieqiong has also served as a mentor for audition programs, but she still admits that "Bursting Stage" is her most nervous one. After returning from overseas, Zhou Jieqiong has not touched the stage for a long time, and whether the audience will continue to recognize her, she has no bottom in her heart.
In the face of the rare stage, Zhou Jieqiong still chose to skip "Pick Me" when she made her first appearance in overseas competitions.
There is also another meaning behind this, after becoming popular, she has faced a variety of choices such as actors and singers, and even lost herself for a while. But this time," "Pick Me" has a little more certainty, which is a symbol of her determination to be herself and find her original heart.

"Fight for the stage we cherish", the dream is once again ignited in these girls. In their acting careers, they may have had twists and turns, and they may have had lows, but this has never made them give up, but has inspired them to be strong.
When they re-entered the stage, with the twinkle in their eyes, they were dazzling stars.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="113" > fearless, hot-blooded, Chinese new generation label</h1>
Just after participating in the college entrance examination, Chi Yixiao stood on the rap stage of "Youth Rap Project" with the confidence that the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
"Desperately looking for the ideal of the future / Falling down for the dream and continuing to run".
Chi Yixiao used a song "20021230" to depict his own growth story to everyone, which made the program planning commissioner Zhou Zhennan very moved, giving the evaluation of "this is the most sincere song I heard today", and gave the customs clearance chain as an encouragement to teenagers.

"Teenagers are fearless and never lack the courage to start." Although he is not recognized by his parents, Chi Yixiao has always loved rapping and wants to tell his parents that he does not lack courage and recognition.
In his singing, there is a sense of real talk that has completed the pioneering evolution and broken the cultural circle in the hands of the new generation of teenagers.
Walking onto the stage, whispering hellos to the big names in front of him, introducing himself almost incoherently, Kidog's debut in "Junior Rap Project" seemed too nervous. However, when he actually performed, he ignited the atmosphere with his explosive voice and rhythm, causing the teachers to sway with it.
"There are quite a few people who usually look down on me, and I want to punch them in the face." There are always people who live in the gutters, but learn to look up at the stars.
Rap gives Kidog strength, and he proves it with a performance.

Nothing could really crush him.
"My existence is very comfortable, everything I have is very comfortable", he was talked about, he learned to box to protect himself, and from the bottom of his heart, he really felt confident, self-consistent, and reconciled with himself. Perhaps, this is the fearlessness and accumulation of the new generation of "juvenile feelings" in the bones.
Coming from the dream, the 01-year boy from Chengdu "wait and go home" is somewhat literary and somewhat funny.
No one could have imagined that "The Dog's Tail Grass Wagging on Our Barefoot Running Under the Windmill" would be the name of a song. No one could have imagined that this ultra-long rap hit all the judges with a little freshness.
In his musical world, dog tail grass, windmills, cirrus clouds, and barns form an oil painting through lyrics, and the melody of the music is like a paintbrush, showing the beautiful scenery in front of everyone with sound waves.
Figure | The judges gave it a high evaluation
"This song has a real life", the judges gave him a high degree of recognition. He is a microcosm of the modernity of Generation Z: young people who really know how to love life, but also know how to express their delicate feelings about life in their own way.
Far more than Chi Yixiao, Kidog and "Wait a Minute and Go Home", the teenage rappers in the show have removed the false and impetuous shell and got more and more profound things, confident, strong, not afraid of anyone, never bow to anyone.
Every rap teenager has their own different life circumstances, but using rap to express blood and explosion is their common soul.
All suffering can be fodder, all grief can be inspiration, all sublime can be dreams, all brightness can be the future.
Like thousands of other young people today, whether it is rappers, female musicians rookies, olympic champions, they are racing with life with great desire to win and lose, fighting for their dreams and higher selves.
Watching the Olympics twenty years ago, most people could only remember the name of the champion for a short time. Twenty years later, when you watch the Olympics, what everyone remembers is the love of sports behind every athlete.
From the yuanqi girl to the teenager rapper, everyone appreciates not only their wonderful and explosive stage works, but also the spirit of struggle of "ten years offstage".
From the image back to reality, the young people standing on the field and in the spotlight are also working hard in reality, and more and more young people are shining for their love and actively chasing their dreams.
From the value change of "must not be gold" to "bronze medal is good", the teenagers on the stage have gone all out to sweat for love, quietly announcing that the young people who belong to this era have come.
Ayu insisted on making music seriously during the time when other people were in love, used the money earned from part-time work to buy professional equipment, and his songs were recognized by more and more people, and he was invited by eight miles underground and signed a musician on a certain platform.
The times are like this, you can make talented people famous, and let people who work hard to live are small and rich.
Maybe most of us will have a hard time becoming world champions, but each of us is Ayu, and as long as we are willing to run, we will touch the dream in the sky. And this is precisely the most beautiful appearance of China's new youth in the current era.
Not long ago, Ayu released her new album "I Don't Belong Here", which has this sentence in the lyrics:
"The crowds in the downtown area will disperse before sunset, and I will flee to the edge of the world when it gets dark."
