"The first time I saw General Secretary Xi Jinping, I was very excited. The general secretary said that I was old and strong, and my body was great! Although more than a dozen hours have passed, Chen Pengbin, a member of the Chinese cross-country ski team who has just returned from training, recalls the scene when he was received by the general secretary and is still excited.
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > "the palms of the general secretary's hands are warm, and he really cares about sports"</h1>
On the afternoon of February 1, General Secretary Xi Jinping came to the Beijing Winter Olympic Exhibition Center and Office Area and the National Winter Sports Training Center in the Shougang Park of Shijingshan, Beijing, to inspect the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, and to visit and comfort the staff, athletes and coaches of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee.

Chen Penbin shook hands with the general secretary. He told reporters that the warmth of General Secretary Xi's palms and the kind smile on his face are deeply imprinted in his heart and will not be forgotten in this life. "The fact that the general secretary is able to meet us fully shows the importance he attaches to ice and snow sports and Chinese sports." This is an inspiration to each of us. ”
Chen Penbin sighed——
Catching up with a good era, every sports person should always keep in mind general secretary Xi's teachings, sports are strong, China is strong, and national fortunes are prosperous, and put into practice. With perseverance and hard training, we will achieve good results on the field to repay the trust of the general secretary.
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > "was particularly nervous before the meeting and did my homework."</h1>
Before the meeting, Chen Pengbin did a lot of preparatory work. He wrote a paragraph of his own to reply to the reading, to the effect that: "My name is Chen Pengbin, from Taizhou, Zhejiang, 41 years old this year, formerly an extreme marathon runner, I have created a miracle of 100 consecutive marathons in 100 days, and I hope to create another miracle at the Beijing Winter Olympics!" ”
Chen Pengbin said that in a few words, he consulted many people. It is not a matter of the structure of the text, but he wants to use the simplest and most direct words to let the general secretary know himself, know that he is from Zhejiang, and know that he crossed from extreme marathon to cross-country skiing in order to pursue his dream.
"When it was time to shake hands, I was still nervous." Speaking of this, Chen Pengbin was a little embarrassed, "It may be a little speechless, but the meaning of the expression has been expressed." The general secretary also said that I was in great health and that I was old and strong. ”
<h1 class="ql-align-justify" > "People must have goals, my goal is to be able to stand on the Olympic field."</h1>
General Secretary Xi's praise has filled Chen Pengbin with motivation. And his own story is indeed inspirational —
From an ordinary fisherman in Yuhuan to a world-famous extreme marathon runner, and then at the age of 41, he "switched" to ice and snow sports. He laughed at himself that "relying on natural 'brute force', it is considered to have achieved some small results."
On December 19 last year, Chen Pengbin arrived at the Wokati Olympic Training Base in Finland. Before leaving, he updated his social platform and wrote: "Journey to the West, go to the Western Heavens to learn the true scriptures, cross-border cross-country skiing, go to Northern Europe to get technology!" He compared going abroad for intensive training to the Western Heavens to learn the scriptures, "The Tang monks have no scriptures, we have no experience, even if there are ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, we must not hesitate!" ”
In just over a month, Chen Pengbin did not have less "wrestling". "Technical links and site adaptation are not a simple process, and there are indeed many difficulties." So he recorded every failed experience of himself with a video camera. Train during the day and watch a video review at night. Today, Chen Penbin has been able to combine ice and snow sports with his familiar roller skating technology, and his understanding of the project has become more profound.
He told reporters --
"I think people, living is nothing more than a day by day challenge, there is a goal to have motivation, afraid of no goal." As long as I can stand on the Olympic field, I have already succeeded. Of course, if you really create results, it will be even better. ”
