In 2004, if you were to ask what the most exciting thing was during the summer vacation, it would definitely be sitting in a crowd at home and watching the Olympic Games held every four years. In 2004, there weren’t that many things to do in the city, let alone in a small village.
Being able to watch TV was the happiest thing for Su Shen back then.
Even if he had to do it all over again, he would really like to witness Liu Xiang's feat in 2004.
That was the first time a yellow race won a gold medal in a major track and field event.
This is a critical moment in the history of national track and field, and even in the history of Asian track and field.
Watching it again, my mood is definitely different. Just like in my memory, Liu Xiang passed all the tests and reached the finals of the Athens Olympics. Among all the black and white people here, he is the only one with yellow skin.
He scored 13.19 in the promotion round and successfully broke into the top eight in the 110-meter hurdles in the Olympic Games.
In one fell swoop, it shattered the "publicly known" rumor that people of yellow race could not get into the top eight in running events in the Olympics.
"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"There is no baggage and no regrets, because I have broken through history and will continue to work hard tomorrow. Every success is a success."
"I'm going to fight them to death tomorrow."
…
This familiar interview footage made Su Shenye's memory clear again. He knew that the name Liu Xiang would soon become famous all over the world. It is not an exaggeration to say, "No one in the world knows you."
After all, this person is his "idol".
He set a precedent for yellow athletes in track and field events.
This meaning is the most important.
Before the game started, the children all gathered together. Because it was summer vacation, there was no one to watch the game until early in the morning. The children in the small village had no place to hang out, so they all sat here, eating melon seeds and watermelon, chatting and spanking.
At home, it's the Olympics again, so adults just indulge their children.
"Who do you think will win? Can Liu Xiang get the sign?"
"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Being able to reach the Olympic finals is already a mission accomplished. Didn't you read what he said above?"
"Ah, I can't get a medal. It would be great if I could get one."
"Xiao Tian, what do you think? What ranking do you think Liu Xiang can get today?" asked a cousin named Su Cheng. He is obviously the most talkative one here.
"I think Liu Xiang can win the gold medal." Su Shen was thinking about something, and when asked, he said casually.
"Hmm, I also think I can get one... Wait, Xiaotian, what did you say? What? Gold, gold medal?" Even Su Cheng, who dared to think the most, was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do. . They are all high school sports students and know more about this than the general public.
That's why they felt that what Su Shen said was a bit "whimsical".
Nowadays, in the world of "race theory", it has basically become everyone's consensus that yellow people are inherently inferior to Europeans and Americans in sports.
Coupled with the advocacy of "public intellectuals", all you can find on the Internet are answers like this.
"Xiao Tian, are you kidding me, a gold medal? You want to win a gold medal when you enter the finals for the first time? There are so many whites and blacks, what are you going to fight for? Liu Xiang is very powerful, but he... is just a yellow man. "Su Cheng's words were not malicious. Nowadays, sports students think so, not to mention other ignorant passers-by. But Su Shen knows that this kind of nonsense will gradually be rewritten in the future.
As our nutrition system gets better and better, and as our training system becomes more and more standardized, the "ethnography" theory will gradually become untenable. Especially in track and field, let me tell you now, I was once faster than all white people, second only to all black people, and second only to people of West African descent. But now if I say that white people are the best at sports, will I be ridiculed by the "public intellectuals" in society?
Now that he has said it, Su Shen has not thought about changing his words. He just treats it as a young man's nature: "I dreamed yesterday that Liu Xiang won the championship, so I believe he can definitely do it."
ha?
This answer was given to my cousins who were all preparing to hear what was going on, and they almost fell to the ground.
But when I think about this cousin, he is only a junior high school student, so forget it, he can't be harsh.
This is not an era where a smartphone can control the world.
Middle school students these days are still relatively innocent.
You can make countless students excited for a long time at night if you say "My fate is up to me" and "Don't bully young people into poverty".
Su Shen did not join the discussion anymore, he just waited quietly for the game to start.
Not long after, the 110-meter hurdles final began.
"Liu Xiang is standing in the fourth lane." CCTV's commentary has come out, and everyone stopped discussing and prepared to watch the game seriously.
Bang——
The gun goes off and the game begins.
“Liu Xiang’s start was very smooth.”
"He's number one right now."
"Next to him is Trammell, Oney Giles."
"Liu Xiang, in the leading position."
"Liu Xiang!"
"Liu Xiang is still in the leading position!"
At this time, everyone was already nervous, because at this time, they were still in the first place, so...
"Liu Xiang!"
"Liu Xiang!!!"
"Liu Xiang wins!!!"
"Liu Xiang made history!!!"
"A Chinese with yellow skin and black hair became a world star!!!"
In fact, the whole process only takes 12.91 seconds, but it is a shot in the arm for all Chinese people, and even for the entire yellow race.
Especially when all the young people saw this man wearing the national flag on his body, their moods were aroused unconsciously.
Post-match interview.
"Who said yellow people can't get into the top eight in the Olympics?"
"I must prove it to everyone today."
"I'm an Olympic champion."
"I think dreams will eventually become reality."
…
It was quiet for a while, and then the entire small room erupted into a startling shout.
"Damn it, Xiao Tian, you are... amazing, amazing." Su Cheng looked at the TV with wide eyes, then looked at Su Shen beside him with wide eyes: "Your dream has come true. .”
Even Su Yun on the side felt at first that it was really fantastic for Su Shen to think that Liu Xiang could win the gold medal.
The teachers of our sports team have said that yellow people are inherently inferior to Europeans and Americans in this regard. How can they break through the limitations of talent and race?
result……
Bang bang bang.
A slap in the face.
What about the “ethnology” mentioned? What about the promise that "I can't outrun the Europeans and Americans"?
So, what is this young man wearing the national flag doing now?
Many stereotypes were broken step by step in this way. Su Shen knew very well that he had been such a leader in the past.
"Xiao Tian, why aren't you excited? This is a gold medal, shining in Asia." Su Cheng asked.
"Maybe I have seen it once in my dream." Su Shen said perfunctorily, but it was not that he was not excited, but after being excited, he felt that his future challenges might be greater. After all, the 100 meters is the "King of Kings" competition.
During the Olympic 100-meter final, all races are suspended.
One can imagine the difficulty.
This is the "crown" game. I hope that I can achieve greater breakthroughs like Liu Xiang.
accomplish dreams.
That night, I don’t know how many people were shocked by Liu Xiang’s historic gold medal, coupled with the “7 o’clock news on China Channel”...
I don’t know how many teenagers have begun to step onto the stage of challenging the limits.
Tonight, Su Shen and his cousins could not sleep.
