In 2008, with the lighting of the Olympic flame in Beijing, the thousand-year-old capital, China also appeared in the world's attention with the Olympic Games.
On that day, Chinese athletes appeared at this great opening ceremony in high spirits, and Yao Ming, as a sports superstar, stood at the front of the delegation.
I saw Yao Ming still holding a nine-year-old boy, who was holding a bright red national flag with his immature little hands, his face full of joy and pride.
Who is this little boy? Why will it be at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games?
He is not only the little flag bearer of the Olympic Games, but also a little hero of the Wenchuan earthquake that year.
When the Wenchuan earthquake occurred, he used his small hands to save two lives, and in the face of reporters' interviews, he also said his grand ideals: "I vow to be admitted to Tsinghua University, learn architectural knowledge, and build a house that will never collapse"
But surprisingly, sixteen years later, he took a different path.
Yao Ming carries the future of the motherland on his shoulders
At that year's Olympic Games, Yao Ming and Lin Hao appeared hand in hand, and the stark contrast in figure was actually specially arranged by director Zhang Yimou.
Because in the year of 2008, two major events occurred in the country, one happy and one sad: the Olympics and the Wenchuan earthquake.
At the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, many people were still immersed in the grief of the Wenchuan earthquake, especially the people in Sichuan Province, the devastating earthquake shattered countless families, countless children lost their father or mother, and countless parents also lost their children.
Lin Hao, as a little hero who saved people from the Wenchuan earthquake, his smile always reveals the unique strength of Wenchuan people.
Zhang Yimou chose to let him appear with Yao Ming, in fact, he hoped that through Lin Hao, he would convey a hope of rebirth after the catastrophe.
Let the successful Yao Ming and Kobayashi Hao be in the same frame, which is like a giant carrying the future of the motherland on his shoulders.
So the two of them represent the present and the future in this way, condensing the hope of the motherland on this short track.
After that, Yao Ming, as the representative of "now", directly hugged Kobayashi Hao, and under the illumination of countless flashing lights and media, this nine-year-old child was also completely integrated with the Olympic Games that year.
Then the curious reporter interviewed Yao Ming and asked who this child was?
And Yao Ming also bluntly said that behind this child, there is a touching story.......
Hiroshi Kobayashi, who is strong
In the same year of the Olympic Games, a catastrophic earthquake occurred in Wenchuan County on the mainland. As a victim of this natural disaster, nine-year-old Lin Hao bloomed with a different light.
That day, it was just no different from usual, Lin Hao and his classmates were reading the text aloud in class, but suddenly, the whole classroom shook violently, and almost in an instant, the whole classroom collapsed.
Fortunately, Lin Hao sat in a dead corner and was not overwhelmed by the collapsed ruins. So he used these hands to tear apart the ruins piece by piece and dig out a path of life.
However, Lin Hao, who escaped, did not forget his responsibility as a squad leader, and he did not hesitate to risk his life to rush back to the ruins and dig up the ruins.
In his mind, he still remembers the cries of his classmates when the earthquake struck, and he had to rescue them.
Later, Lin Hao rescued a female classmate and a male classmate in the rubble, but when he tried to rush into the rubble to save people for the third time, the ruins collapsed again, burying him in the rubble again.
But fortunately, Lin Hao happened to be discovered by a teacher looking for survivors and pulled him out again, and the rescued Lin Hao still thought about the classmates who had not escaped from the ruins.....
This experience also gave the little Lin Hao a firm dream in his heart, "I must be admitted to Tsinghua University and build a house that will never collapse due to an earthquake in the future."
The choice between fame and dreams ultimately leads to different ends
The flag-raising boy of the Olympic Games, the legendary little fighter against disasters, the addition of these halos made him a well-known figure in an instant, and even the Global Times of that year selected him as the 20 most influential teenagers.
As a result, countless media outlets found the 9-year-old left-behind child, whose resume became a flyer to promote the film, and he also played various similar TV series again and again.
In this kind of rendering, Lin Hao's dream of simply wanting to be admitted to Tsinghua University and build a house that will not collapse has gradually changed, and when the reporter asked him again about his future dream, he has changed from the original Tsinghua University to being an actor.
Of course, in the face of Lin Hao's transformation, there are many people who ridicule and ridicule him. They think that Lin Hao has neither excellent grades nor outstanding appearance, and it is really a fool's dream to want to enter the showbiz.
And Lin Hao's ending seems to perfectly verify these people's statements. After barely passing the first round of written exams, Lin Hao, who had no advantage, was finally brushed down, and in the end, Lin Hao, who was helpless, had to choose a college and university to realize his dream.
But how could a junior college let Lin Hao go on the road of acting? So after graduation, Lin Hao finally chose to return to his hometown Wenchuan and became a member of countless propaganda for his hometown.
Now open Lin Hao's space, you can often see him wearing a bright red volunteer costume, explaining the cultural activities of rural revitalization for the countryside, he faded away from the original immaturity and floating, leaving only the dream of the rise of the countryside.
In the end, Lin Hao chose a path that suited him, although there was a slight deviation from his original ideal, but Lin Hao still worked tirelessly for his hometown.
However, Lin Hao, who has progressed in his career, has not fallen behind in love.
In the same year, Lin Hao announced the news of his marriage to his wife Ram. In the photo, the two interact sweetly, and their eyes are full of love for each other.
It is said that Ram met Lin Hao in a public welfare activity, and both of them had a dream of rural revitalization in their hearts, so they came together.
Rise from a high place and fall into the ordinary
The current Lin Hao is undoubtedly one of countless ordinary mortals, he did not become the person he was when he was a child, neither realized his dream of being admitted to Tsinghua University, nor realized his dream of becoming an actor, but became an ordinary public welfare person and live broadcaster.
However, this is also a portrayal of most of us, in our childhood, we may have had such and such lofty ideals, want to be astronauts, want to be different people in this world, but in the end, step by step, we often end up with people who have nothing to do with the people we dreamed of, but that doesn't mean that we are not worthy of praise.
Ordinary people also have great souls, and it is certainly worthy of respect to get ahead, but there is no shame in those who return to the ordinary and accept the ordinary, after all, the whole society is made up of these countless "ordinary people".
Today's Lin Hao is still on the front line of public welfare, dedicating his own strength to the countryside and poor places in Wenchuan County, perhaps from this point of view, Lin Hao has indeed become a "construction worker" in Wenchuan County, right?
