In 1958, an ordinary family in Jiangsu was born a baby girl, the family named her Luan Jujie, her parents are ordinary workers, in 1973, 15-year-old Luan Jujie came to Nanjing Sports School, originally in school she studied not fencing, but badminton, but later found that badminton is not suitable, so it changed to fencing.
The following year, she also won the second place in the competition, and since then Luan Jujie has become famous, you must know that she only practiced fencing for four months at that time, and she reached this level in just 4 months, which shows that not only has a talent in this area, but also has a lot to do with her hard work.
Not long after, Luan Jujie entered the national team, since then he has fought for the country, in 1978, Luan Jujie won the second place in the World Youth Fencing Championships, she became the first Asian player to enter the event since 1901, and because of this, Luan Jujie gradually became concerned by everyone, but behind winning the runner-up Luan Jujie experienced suffering How much do you know?
In this year, Luan Jujie was stabbed in the left arm by the opponent's sword when she participated in the final, but she never gave up, but she insisted on playing 5 games until finally taking a runner-up, if not injured, maybe the champion would be her.
Luan Jujie
In 1984, the Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, she won the gold medal on the field, and was also the first person in China to win the fencing championship in the Olympic Games, and in the same year, she shined in the Cup of the World Cup, when Luan Jujie was almost a household name, when it came to fencing champions, everyone would immediately have Luan Jujie's figure in their minds.
But the good times were not long, in 1988, Luan Jujie was diagnosed with acute nephritis, when she was at her peak, but because of physical reasons had to retire, after that, Luan Jujie came to Canada to study, in order to ensure financial resources, she chose to be a coach in the Canadian fencing gym.
On the first day of her arrival, she felt a lot of pressure, because she didn't know the language here, even English was not very good, sitting in the classroom every day was really very painful, she knew that she couldn't go on like this, so when she taught fencing, she was also trying to learn English, at that time she was like a baby who learned the language of teeth and teeth, from the beginning of body language to later being able to skillfully talk to other people, she made a lot of effort, and because of this, Luan Jujie did not return to China for six years after coming to Canada.
Luan Jujie took the good banner of the motherland
She said that the feeling of teaching fencing in Canada is not the same as in China, leaving aside the cultural differences, in China, children are going to produce grades, but the children here are different, they are all paid by their parents to play, and the real good seedlings are difficult to find, because Canada is a student who chooses a teacher, not a teacher who chooses a student.
When Luan Jujie first came to the club, there were only 58 children here, and with the passage of time, there were more and more students, basically there were more than two hundred students every semester, and she had thought about leaving the club before, but the parents did not agree, because many children did not regard her as a coach, but a mother who taught them fencing. Luan Jujie also liked the children here very much, and in the end he still did not give up.
In 1991, Luan Jujie's eldest daughter was born, but after the birth of the child was sent to the intensive care ward, the doctor told Luan Jujie that the daughter's heart is not good, it is likely that the intelligence is relatively low, Luan Jujie heard the news and felt that the sky was going to collapse, fortunately, there was a husband around to accompany her, in the end, she survived.
Then she thought of the Canadian government's funding policy for disabled children: no matter who raised the government before the child became an adult, the government was responsible for living and living as an adult, and the medical conditions in Canada were better than in China at that time, so Luan Jujie decided to give up Chinese nationality to join Canada for her daughter.
Luan Jujie's eldest daughter is very beautiful, before the age of two years old and no different from normal children, but slowly, some symptoms that do not belong to normal children appear on her body, and by the age of 5, she has already had two surgeries, and until now she has a pacemaker hanging outside the body, which shows how serious her condition is.
Although Luan Jujie later had other children, she was still the best for her eldest daughter.
In 2004, in order to thank her for her contribution, the Canadian state also named a domestic competition after Luan Jujie, which shows how influential she is in Canada, and after this incident, she is very proud to say: "I have not shamed Chinese!" ”
By the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Luan Jujie represented Canada to participate, at this time Luan Jujie has bid farewell to the field for 20 years, and in order to be able to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games, she has been preparing for 15 months, participating in nearly ten points races at her own expense, spending nearly 100,000 yuan.
And behind these competitions, how much did Luan Jujie suffer? When she played in the North American Cup, she wore a pair of fencing shoes that were 3 sizes smaller than her feet, and although she got good results, her ten toes were all purple and she couldn't walk at all.
Later, when eating fish, he accidentally punctured his finger and caused poisoning, coincidentally, at this time he received the news of going to the training camp, so Luan Jujie, who has not yet healed, has been hesitating, and the husband around him also told Luan Jujie to follow his inner thoughts and boldly let go of the dry, and there is him behind him, just like this, she chose the training camp, and the results in the subsequent competition were very good, and she entered the Olympic Games one point at a time.
You know how difficult it is for a 50-year-old athlete who has not participated in a competition in 20 years.
When she stepped on the Olympic arena, it was as if she saw her youth, although she did not represent China in the Olympic Games this time, the audience was still very excited, and all the spectators burst into thunderous applause.
After the end of the first game, the entire audience stood up to applaud her, Luan Jujie was also very grateful for the support of these spectators, she did not expect that after twenty years, there would be a audience that would remember her name and even support her, and then Luan Jujie took out a red banner from the backpack, and when she unfolded, everyone saw that there were three big words written on it, the motherland is good, which made many viewers can't help but shed tears.
Because the banner was too large, Luan Jujie's entire upper body was almost obscured, but she did not care at all, holding the banner around for a while before slowly exiting, and the audience shouted: "Luan Jujie, I love you." And Luan Jujie's eyes also flashed with tears.
Luan Jujie's banner
In an interview, she said: "This is an outpouring of my authenticity, so as soon as the game is over, whether I win or lose, I have to open it... This is the only way I can express my heart to my motherland. Then Luan Jujie also thanked the motherland: I sincerely thanked the cultivation of the country when I was young, and because of this, I had this ability and perseverance," and for those who have not walked this road, it is difficult to have such an opportunity." This sentence is also her original intention to open the banner at the Beijing Olympic Games.
Although Luan Jujie is still working as a coach in Canada, she often returns to China to exchange and learn with her fencing peers, and when she sees the training facilities for fencers now, she is very emotional, and said: "I hope that all athletes in China will cherish the country's training." ”
Because the athletes in her own era were all fighting hard, even if there was such a good treatment now, but she would not be jealous, but very envious. She also taught some young athletes: "To learn the spirit of the older generation of athletes who bear hardships and stand hard work, we must not just talk about it, but prove it with our own practical actions." ”
Over the past two decades, she has taught countless students, and more than 60% of the domestic (Canadian) competitions are also held by her students every year.
Although she has been playing in Canada for so many years, she has never forgotten that she is a Chinese, and Luan Jujie has proved with her own practical actions what it means to even have the word patriotism engraved in her bones.
Now, Luan Jujie's children have also become fencers due to the influence of their mothers, of course, except for the eldest daughter, who also hopes that her eldest daughter can live a healthy and happy life, and also hopes that Luan Jujie's other children can achieve good results in fencing.
