True Story: Has anyone broken this record?

Ji Guimin's unsurpassed record was created in this way

The old units changed from divisions to brigades, brigades to regiments, and not long ago from regiments to brigades, and their numbers changed back and forth, but history has always been inherited. Therefore, my compatriot Ji Guimin has always survived in the history of that unit and the oral legend of the existing "old man". Ji Guimin has appeared many times in my novels, and in the novels he is called Daiki. I once described him as "a big man, a big hand, a big voice, holding the child in his hand and going around the class", this is not a fiction, if Ji Guimin comes to you, you can recognize him at a glance with these characteristics. Ji Guimin was the first of the new recruits to enter the division's military pentathlon team, and trained with veterans who had joined the army several years before him. Within two years, four or five records of the division, including the 400-meter obstacle course, the five-kilometer armed cross-country, and submachine gun shooting, were written in his name. Although these records were later slowly broken by others, the record of grenade throwing left by Ji Guimin may "die" in the annals of history and live on the tip of other people's tongues.

It is an accepted fact that Ji Guimin's grenade throwing can reach more than 70 meters in training. But how far you can throw in a real contest requires a referee to measure. On the day of the August 1st Competition, Ji Guimin had a grenade measured by the referee as 77 meters, Ji Guimin did not believe this number, he found the referee and said that it should be 72 meters. Although the 72 meters is also the champion's result, this result cannot break the record of the division. Ji Guimin is a real person. He said his reason was that the referee had misread a "thick line." Because the grenade is thrown at a distance of five meters a thick line, and then draw five thin lines in this five meters thick line to distinguish the distance. People are not allowed to stand in the bomb throwing area, so it is possible that the referee saw a thick line in the distance. But it is impossible to change the grade anymore. First, the referee has announced the results, and the second is that if the referee changes the judgment, it is equivalent to not being serious about his work. Another reason is that the referee also understands in his heart, if the results are calculated for the players less, the unit where the players are located will not agree, but no one will hold on to them if they are counted more. Ke Ji Guimin was stubborn and stubborn, and on many occasions after the competition, he said that his achievements were miscalculated. It is not easy for others to vote for more than sixty meters, this time written as 77 meters, this record includes Ji Guimin himself, never surpassed or approached, he has always said that his best result should be around 75 meters. But Ji Guimin's ability to throw far is obvious to all, he once made a bet with a comrade-in-arms, and the two votes did not add up to the distance he threw once.

Another record of Ji Guimin is that his lover gave birth to a child in his hometown, and he has not had time to go back to see it because he is busy with work. It was a comrade-in-arms (this person is me) who helped his lover from his hometown to the army when the child was more than seventy days old. This has never happened in our unit. Most of the later officers were looking for a partner in the garrison, and it was almost impossible for such a thing to happen.

Many times the record is not artificial or intentional, and it is cast in a thousand mistakes into an immutable or irreproducible fact. It is precisely because there are many such and such episodes that some lifeless records are brought to life. Life is not about how many twists and turns and sufferings, bizarre and weird, but how to deal with these things happening. Whether it is calm or entangled, whether to let go or calculate, is only a matter of attitude. Just like Ji Guimin, every time he talks about his story in the army, he laughs, and it is better to record it verbally than to record it in the annals of history. Records can not last long, but people have to live for a long time.
