The small body contains huge energy, which is the first reaction of many people after learning about Shang Chunsong's story.
How to describe this girl who disobeys fate? Is it self-improvement, or is it Zhi'en Tubao?
In the face of adversity, you can rely on your talent to win the gold medal, and after becoming famous and getting money, you can give all the money to your family, and not everyone will have such a child's heart.
In terms of achievements, Shang Chunsong only came into contact with gymnastics when he was 7 years old, and at the age of 15, he already won his first gold medal, and since then he has started his brilliant sports career until he retired at the age of 21.
Two years after retiring, he returned to the arena at the age of 23 (gymnastics athletes are younger).
It can be said that Shang Chunsong is bravely climbing the peak in his career.
From the experience point of view, Shang Chunsong has been poor since she was a child, and when she entered school to learn gymnastics, she relied on her family to scrape together money, and relied on her brother with bad eyes to go to the massage shop to make money, which made her never dare to relax in training, and it was also the driving force for her to persevere.
After becoming famous, Shang Chunsong did not indulge in money, she understood that Entu News, not only left 2,000 living expenses for herself every year, but also gave a million bonus to her brother to buy a house.
In the face of media reports that Shang Chunsong's buying a house for his brother was patriarchal, Shang Chunsong was very angry and said:
"You are not me, you don't know what my parents and my brother have done to me, and this is my private matter and my family affair, and outsiders should not judge it."
Carefully understand Shang Chunsong's story, you can understand why she answered like this.
Life in the mountains
Some people say that sports, like art, are something that rich people learn, and poor people learn this, and they can only starve to death in the future. But Shang Chunsong's family is not well-off, and even according to today's perspective, it is still a little poor.
The place where she was born is in the Tujia cottage in Yongding District, Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, where the scenery is beautiful and unforgettable, but such a pristine and beautiful ecological environment also means that the people living here do not have a modern life.
Shang Chunsong, born in 1996, also has an older brother in the family, and the family is still very happy in the face of Shang Chunsong's arrival, and the arrival of a new life is a gift from heaven for a pair of good parents.
But that joy didn't last long, because having one more person in the family meant more money to support them.
Shang Chunsong's family of four lives in the mountains, relying on the fields or going to construction sites as workers to earn money, and there is no problem with food, but the excess money really cannot be taken out.
According to the reporter's interview, Shang Chunsong's family, father Shang Jinjun and mother Huang Youlian's salary was only 20 yuan a day, and it added up to more than 8,000 a year.
And before Shang Chunsong was born, the life of the merchant could be described as "hemp rope is specially picked and broken, bad luck is specifically looking for bitter people", Shang Chunsong's brother had a big problem with his eyes because of his childhood illness.
The wind and clouds during the day or the "black clouds pressing the city" for my brother, there are only light-sensitive changes, and at night, my brother can't see anything.
Shang Chunsong's parents carry the life of a family on their shoulders, and they can't leave someone at home to take special care because Shang Chunsong's brother Shang Lei can't see it.
Not to mention that farmers, sowing seeds, weeding, and harvesting depend on the weather, and the livelihood of everyone in the family cannot be delayed just like that.
Shang Lei is also a sensible child, knowing that he can't help his parents, so he stays at home alone.
Although the people of the mountain village are simple, they are also gossipy, and in the face of neighbors with such a difficult fate, they always have to talk about it after tea. These words are not that the merchant has not heard, but the merchant does not care, how can the words of others change the family affection of the family?
It didn't take long for Shang Chunsong to be born, and Shang Lei was already of school age at this time. Although going to school is very difficult for Shang Lei, this hardship comes not only from physical disability, but also from the local school environment.
The school in the mountain village has poor facilities, and it rains heavily outside, but it rains lightly inside, but fortunately, classmates will help each other, and they will take the initiative to review the teacher's knowledge points with him.
In school days, Shang Lei's favorite time is that when school is over, his sister will happily come to pick him up.
Because blood is thicker than water, and because of the companionship since childhood, the relationship between the two is very good. Shang Chunsong looked at his brother who had eye problems, and occasionally thought back, if he grew up, would he have the opportunity to take his brother to treat his eyes?
With such a mood, Shang Chunsong saw that his eyesight was indeed declining even more because his brother Shang Lei was getting older, which made Shang Chunsong feel sad.
She knows that her brother Shang Lei can no longer go to school because of vision problems, and the burden of his family is getting heavier and heavier because of his insistence on seeking medical treatment for his brother, as a member of the family, the young Shang Chunsong is very eager to contribute to change this situation.
Maxima and Bó Lè
That year, Shang Chunsong was 7 years old, and their family welcomed a Bo Le, Shang Chunsong's cousin.
The cousin looked at the lively and active Shang Chunsong, not only moved lightly, but also relaxed the waist, and the body was soft. This kind of talent is unattainable, so her cousin suggested to Shang Chunsong's parents whether they could find an opportunity to send Shang Chunsong to the city to learn gymnastics.
Shang Chunsong's father Shang Jinjun and father Huang Youlian were a little overwhelmed when they heard this, after all, neither of them had gone to school, and they didn't know if it was really correct to learn the so-called gymnastics, and then they heard their cousin say that Shang Chunsong was talented, and it was a waste not to learn.
Shang Jinjun and Huang Youlian thought about it seriously, now Shang Chunsong is studying in primary school in the village, the only way out in the future is to continue studying, but if he can't read well, do he still have to stay in the village for the rest of his life?
The parents understood gymnastics as a craft, thinking that their children would not starve to death if they learned at least the last craft, so they gritted their teeth and agreed to their cousin's proposal.
The direction is chosen, but what about the money? Before it was just right to eat, and now the gymnastics college closest to Shang Chunsong has a tuition fee of more than 10,000 yuan a year.
What to do about this?
With the mentality that they could not delay the child's talent, the couple raised money everywhere, not only took out their own savings, but also borrowed all the relatives who could borrow money at home, and finally made up the tuition.
In order to ensure the normal operation of the family's economy, and to be able to pay off today's debts as soon as possible.
His brother Shang Lei also made an important decision, he would drop out of school to work in a massage parlor and become one of the breadwinners of his family.
Those who grow up in love are still not "poor"
Looking at the full support of his family, Shang Chunsong knew that this was all the love of his family for him, and turning love into motivation was the best reward for them.
So, after entering the school, others are resting, and she is training hard; When others go out to play, she still insists on training; When others are also training, she trains more seriously.
Some people say that the world is 99% sweat plus 1% inspiration, this sentence is completely applicable to Shang Chunsong, the body light and soft is her talent, unremitting efforts are her sweat, and her success seems to be an inevitable path.
Shang Chunsong is also very frugal in life, so much so that when her classmates later recalled her, she always only wore gymnastic clothes, and when everyone pursued all kinds of clothes on their own boat on weekends, Shang Chunsong still wore training clothes.
The coach's evaluation of Shang Chunsong is also that she has never told everyone about her suffering, and she was still curious at that time why Shang Chunsong only ate once, and she refused to explain it clearly when she asked her, and now she knows that she originally wanted to save money for her family.
Although Shang Chunsong did not take the initiative to talk about her difficulties, her difficulties were still seen by coaches and classmates. Everyone will pretend to inadvertently help Shang Chunsong in life and study, but how can Shang Chunsong not see these "clumsy" acting skills?
Even though he was born poor, because he lived in love, Shang Chunsong's spiritual world was rich. These attention supported her to train harder, and finally at the age of 14, all the hardships bore fruit, and Shang Chunsong was admitted to the national team!
Life is like this, you need to climb one mountain after another, and when you reach the top of the "learning" mountain, Shang Chunsong faces the peak of his "gymnastics".
The peak of life's path
Shang Chunsong, who entered the national team in 2010, began to have his own salary, and Shang Chunsong, who no longer had to reach out to his family for money, was relieved. She can concentrate on her training.
The year after entering the national team, Shang Chunsong relied on his usual training results to win the Canadian Wildrose Women's Gymnastics Invitational Championship with a high score of 15.10!
It is the champion, but not only the champion, in this competition, Shang Chunsong also won the runner-up in floor exercise and uneven bars.
Since then, Shang Chunsong has entered the rising period of his career, not only won the women's gymnastics championship of the National Gymnastics Championships in 2012, but also won the women's floor exercise and balance beam championships at the 5th Asian Gymnastics Championships.
In the 2013 National Games, he won three gold medals in one go!
Shang Chunsong is something his family is proud of, and Shang Jinjun, who learned of such good news, quickly set up two tables to celebrate with the workers in Changsha.
After winning the National Games, Shang Chunsong won her first huge prize money. In the face of the reporter's interview, she calmly said that she wanted to give this money to her parents, improve the environment at home, and treat her brother's eyes.
Incomprehension from society
Shang Chunsong's achievements are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people from all walks of life see her, first praising her, taking Shang Chunsong as an example.
Until Shang Chunsong's purchase of a house for his brother reached the ears of the media, the warm story of a family supporting each other became a story of son preference and a family of vampires.
What's more, directly typing the words that Shang Chunsong's parents control their daughter, these manuscripts are like needles pierced into Shang Chunsong's eyes, and Shang Chunsong, who has always been low-key and smooth, spoke out for the first time for her family.
Shang Chunsong told the public in a loud voice that the media's statement was too bizarre and had hurt her family, when she first started gymnastics, the family had no money, it was her brother who went to massage, her father was at the construction site, her mother did odd jobs in Yongshun, and later she entered the provincial team, and her mother worked as a nanny, which can support her to this day.
And Shang Chunsong also told the media that whether her money is willing to spend it herself, or give it to her family, or buy a house for her brother, it is her freedom, they will always be their backing, the media does not know anything, only nonsense.
After this incident, Shang Chunsong devoted himself to his gymnastics career again.
In the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, Shang Chunsong advanced to the final with his perseverance and strength despite his physical illness.
In the final, Shang Chunsong's movements on the balance beam were originally perfect, but the landing error of the lower balance beam made Shang Chunsong miss the medal.
Even so, the deputy director of the Sports Bureau of Hunan Province still gave Shang Chunsong a very high evaluation, he believes that Shang Chunsong's inner discipline commission is strong, and his ability and psychological quality go hand in hand.
This is indeed the case, Shang Chunsong's expression in the game is also very rare, and the person is also very peaceful and humble. Even if the referee's problems at the World Championships caused her to miss the trophy, she rarely blamed others, just looked for problems in herself.
Since 2015, after achieving her best result at the World Gymnastics World Championships, Shang Chunsong began preparing for the Rio Olympics. Until this news, Shang Jinjun and his wife set off from their hometown, traveled all the way, and finally came to the scene of the Rio Olympics.
In their hearts, their daughter is already their pride, and whether they can win the trophy this Olympic Games or not, they must witness it with their daughter.
Not only is the scene lively, but Shang Chunsong's hometown village is also very lively, and even some villagers wear beautiful clothes that will only be worn during the New Year and festivals and squat in front of the TV to wait for Shang Chunsong to appear.
Unfortunately, in the Rio Olympics, Shang Chunsong missed the podium in the individual competition by 0.1 points, and in the face of such regrets, Shang Chunsong said that he was a little sad and thought that he could have won the third place.
Even the online commentators said that Shang Chunsong did not lose to herself, she played well, but lost to the referee.
Shang Chunsong, who participated in the Rio Olympics, said with regret that she wanted to go back to her hometown to see, perhaps because she felt that her hometown at this time could bring comfort to her soul.
Before she had the opportunity to make up for this regret, she ushered in another major blow in her career.
In September 2017, Shang Chunsong participated in the 13th National Games, and in the gymnastics competition, Shang Chunsong made a mistake due to a large psychological burden.
After this competition, she ended her gymnastics career. Her departure at this time is as regrettable as "heroic twilight".
But Shang Chunsong is not such a person who is easily defeated by difficulties, she likes to surpass herself, and after announcing her retirement, she did not stop pursuing gymnastics.
These days when she disappeared from the public eye, she was adjusting her mentality, and she once again stood on her stage, and won the floor exercise championship at that year's local gymnastics championships.
Subsequently, Shang Chunsong said that he wanted to go to the university to learn to make up for his cultural knowledge, and it just so happened that the country had a corresponding policy for outstanding athletes to enroll in higher education, so Shang Chunsong entered the physical education major of Central China Normal University in 2019.
Today, even if Shang Chunsong is not active in the arena, she has become the champion of her own life.
