Editor/Orange History
At the Hangzhou Asian Games held not long ago, in addition to the media reporting on the daily intense events;
also launched a strong report on Chusovitina, a veteran.
At 48 years old, she is the only active athlete in the former Soviet Union and the longest gymnastics career.
Chusovitina, who was supposed to retire at the age of 27, had to choose to make a comeback in order to treat her seriously ill son;
Continue to compete for gold medals with other female athletes who are young and healthy.
Chusovitina's motherly strength and perseverance to interpret the Olympic spirit throughout her life shocked the world;
Even the People's Daily published an article paying tribute to her.
Chusovitina's deeds can now be said to be a household name.
But what people don't know is that in today's gymnastics world, there is also a Chinese version of "Chusovitina".
Who is she? Chusovitina insisted on staying in the arena for the sake of her son, so who is she for?
One. After hardships, but still born to the sun
Her name is Shang Chunsong.
In 1996, he was born in a backward mountain village in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province.
Shang Chunsong's parents
Shang Chunsong's parents are both farmers and live on a few acres of fertile land, so their lives are quite poor.
Unfortunately, Shang Chunsong also has an older brother.
Since childhood, he has been frail and sick, and medicine is not left of his body, and the medical expenses have made the already not wealthy family even worse.
Therefore, Shang Chunsong's childhood life was not as carefree as that of children in the city.
In addition to taking care of herself, she also has to help her parents with some housework within her ability.
Although it was hard, Shang Chunsong still maintained an optimistic and cheerful personality.
As long as she has time, she will run wildly all over the mountains, she likes to exercise, likes to run wantonly, and enjoys the feeling of the wind blowing across her cheeks.
In the blink of an eye, Shang Chunsong was also at the age when he should go to school.
There was no school in her village, so she had to walk long mountain roads every day to study in a nearby town.
In order to get to school on time, Shang Chunsong has to run to school almost every day, but she never complains to her parents.
After a few months like this, Shang Chunsong's physique gradually strengthened as he ran day by day.
The athletic ability, which was already superior to ordinary people, has also improved a lot.
One day, Shang Chunsong's aunt came to the house as a guest.
When my aunt saw Shang Chunsong jumping in the yard, she felt that Shang Chunsong's bouncing power was quite good.
Later, when chatting with Shang Chunsong's parents, I learned that Shang Chunsong liked sports since he was a child, and ran to go to school far away every day.
My aunt thinks that Shang Chunsong is very athletic and has good endurance, so he is definitely a good seedling for practicing sports.
The aunt discussed with Shang Chunsong's parents whether to let Shang Chunsong develop in the direction of athletes in the future.
In this small backward village, children generally do not have access to a good education, and it is too difficult to become talents.
And since Shang Chunsong has athletic talent, it may be easier to go another way.
Shang Chunsong's parents thought of this, and of course there was no reason to refuse his aunt's proposal.
Considering that Shang Chunsong is short and half a head shorter than his peers, he definitely has no advantage in practicing ordinary sports.
So my aunt decided to send Shang Chunsong to Yongshun County Sports School to practice gymnastics.
Two. Officially started his gymnastics career
But going to the county's sports school was a big challenge for Shang Chunsong's family.
The tuition required by the sports school cannot be taken out at home.
What's more, Shang Chunsong is still young and needs to be taken care of.
So the whole family had to move to the county to rent a house, and the rent was a lot of money.
But for the sake of their daughter's future, even if the businessman's parents smash the pot and sell iron, they have to send Shang Chunsong to the sports school.
So Shang Chunsong's father went out to work, and her brother was sick and compressed the nerves in his eye, and his vision became worse and worse.
I simply dropped out of school to save some money for my family.
In this way, Shang Chunsong's mother took her brother to rent a house in the county and accompany Shang Chunsong to train and study in a sports school.
Shang Chunsong saw that his family had made such a big effort for himself, so he secretly made up his mind;
You must train well and win gold medals in the field in the future to give to your parents and brother.
Fortunately, Shang Chunsong is very talented in gymnastics, and she is quite able to endure hardships;
When others are resting, she is still practicing.
Hard work pays off, and when he was ten years old, Shang Chunsong was selected into the Hunan provincial team because of his excellent performance.
In the Hunan provincial team, with more professional coaching guidance, Shang Chunsong's progress has been rapid.
With the advent of puberty, the height of the teammates around him is rubbing long;
When I practiced gymnastics, my flexibility decreased, and my performance was not as good as before.
Shang Chunsong's height has always stayed at 1.43 meters;
This is undoubtedly a small flaw for ordinary people, but for Shang Chunsong, who practices gymnastics, this has become a big advantage for her.
His own advantages and acquired efforts made Shang Chunsong selected for the national team when he was 14 years old.
After Shang Chunsong entered the national team, he represented Hunan and China and participated in many competitions, large and small;
They have achieved quite excellent results, and won a lot of gold and silver medals.
Of course, what made her famous the most was the World Championships held in Nanchang in September 2014.
In her best match, the uneven bars, she surpassed the difficulty of the leap on the women's gymnastics chart.
According to the relevant regulations of international gymnastics, this movement was named after Shang Chunsong.
This is enough to prove Shang Chunsong's super strength.
When Shang Chunsong was 18 years old, she was named captain of the Chinese women's gymnastics team.
In the subsequent competitions, although under the leadership of Shang Chunsong, the Chinese women's gymnastics team won the second and third place in the team at the World Championships and the Olympic Games.
However, she did not perform well in gymnastics competitions and did not win any awards.
Shang Chunsong knows that the career of a gymnast is very short, and it is difficult for her to make new breakthroughs at the age of 21;
So in September 2017, she announced her retirement.
Three. Take on the burden of your family and choose to make a comeback
Back at home, Shang Chunsong looked at his elderly parents, who were still working hard, and his heart suddenly became sour.
She persuaded her parents to enjoy their old age as soon as possible, but their parents wanted to save more money so that they could buy a house for Shang Chunsong's brother and marry a daughter-in-law.
Shang Chunsong's elder brother
Shang Chunsong's elder brother is blind, and in order to make a living, he works in a blind massage shop, earning only enough money every month to feed and wear.
And he is not young anymore, and it is time to talk about marriage, but there are no girls willing to marry him.
Shang Chunsong looked at his brother who had no settled life, and felt very uncomfortable.
From childhood to adulthood, my brother has good food, and fun will always let him;
Later, he gave up the opportunity to study, just for his sister to have a bright future.
For the second half of his brother's life and for his gray-haired parents, Shang Chunsong decided to make a comeback and return to the game;
Do your best to earn bonuses, buy a house for your brother, and let your parents live a good life.
Fortunately, fate favored him, and not long after his comeback, Shang Chunsong won the women's individual gymnastics championship at the National Championships.
On October 29 this year, at the National Gymnastics Championships, Shang Chunsong crushed everyone and won the individual championship in one fell swoop.
These undoubtedly made her gymnastics career even more exciting.
It is precisely because he feels sorry for his brother and parents that Shang Chunsong chooses to return to the track.
It was this decision that kept her from missing out on the gold medal that followed.
Therefore, Shang Chunsong's achievements today are not only because of her talent and hard work, but also because of her strong and filial qualities.
The scales of fate will always be particularly tilted in favor of such a kind and beautiful girl.
