just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 294 Trivia
"Competitive sports always strive for first place!"

With the end of the Olympic Games and the return of the Olympic delegation, reports on Olympic information have come to an end.

At the same time, starting with the words of Yuan Minwei, Director of the General Administration of Sport of China, in an interview at the airport, a discussion conference on victory and failure, summary, analysis and outlook also officially kicked off. After everyone sings, I will appear on the stage.

It summarizes why the challenges in table tennis, badminton, diving, gymnastics, weightlifting, shooting and women's softball, which are regarded as the "seven major advantages" of Chinese competitive sports, are more and more challenging, bigger and bigger, and even fail again and again.

It also summarizes why men’s and women’s gymnastics fail again and again?
It also summed up the disadvantages of table tennis and badminton, and even why the two men's singles lost at the same time?

Analyzed the return of the women's volleyball spirit and won more Olympic gold medals after 20 years, analyzed the track and field breakthrough history and impressive record, but is the road ahead clear or dark? !

You analyze, I argue, each has his own reasons, and neither gives in to the other.

But no matter which side is said, the track and field team that brought a major breakthrough must be a topic that has always been high.It is precisely because of this that the already well-known track and field team during the Olympics has become even more famous.

People are familiar with it, businesses favor it, the country attaches great importance to it, and local governments pay more attention to it.

It's just that for the national Olympic delegation, they don't have time to take care of all the discussions yet.From the moment they got off the plane, their itinerary was already full.

In such a tense and busy atmosphere, a week has passed...

……

2004/9/7

Hong Kong, Government Stadium.

Today's government stadium is extremely lively, and the temporary stadium that can accommodate 58000 people is full of seats.

For most Xiangjiang citizens, today is a special day, because the mainland Olympic champions come every four years.

Tonight, in this stadium, the Olympic champions will share the joy and glory of the Olympics with all Hong Kong people.

At 17 o'clock in the afternoon, as the well-dressed host came slowly and walked gracefully to the center of the court, the Olympic gold medal parade began!

"Director Lin, there are a few more, and it will be you next!"

Two hours have passed and the performance has come to an end. As the women's volleyball girls collectively stepped onto the court stage, the person in charge of the performance from Xiangjiang hurriedly came to remind them.

In the opening and stage performances, several members of the track and field team who achieved the pinnacle were all placed in positions of great weight in the performance.

It was Liu Xiang at the beginning, and now there will be five members of the track and field relay team.

For these people, the person in charge can be said to be cautious.He knew that these people, especially the young leader Lin, were not comparable to other athletes in terms of gold medal weight or personal status.

Even if they are the same Olympic champions, they have to be divided into ranks.What's more, besides himself, the other four are his apprentices and subordinates, so the identities can be imagined.

In his understanding, even the gold medalist who broke the world record at the beginning couldn't compare with the person in front of him.The public may pay more attention to Liu Xiang, and even far surpass everyone in terms of conceivable economic benefits.But people who have reached a certain level will know who is the most important.

Fortunately, this person is relatively modest and calm, so it is not difficult to deal with him.Just once or twice, he felt a little too indifferent.

"Director Zhong, please, we are ready!"

Slowly breathing a sigh of relief, Lin Mu stood up, greeted him politely, and took his four athletes to get ready.

In fact, there is no preparation, just going up to sing a song, good or bad is not too important.

What he is lucky about now is that, after such tossing for several days, they will participate in some social activities in Xiangjiang tomorrow, and their group activities this time will be over.

Thinking about the past few days, Lin Mu felt exhausted and flustered. He didn't have the freedom to participate in activities during the few days after the end of the World Championships last year, but it couldn't be compared to now.

After returning from Athens and getting off the plane, the time is no longer my own.Because of his honor, but also because of his current special status.Compared with the average athlete, he has been assigned more affairs.A series of activities that he simply cannot push.What's more, some activities are indeed honors, and he must accept them.

On August 8, the leader picked up the plane, interviewed by the media, and followed the large force to escort the Olympic flag to the Yanjing Municipal Government.Then return to the station to rest for jet lag.

On September 9st, he only had one night off and half a day. As a gold medal athlete and champion coach, he brought honorary and breakthrough athletes of the track and field team and their coaches to visit CCTV.

On the dialogue column, talk about training, talk about competitions, share your Olympic mood, talk about your ideals, and look forward to the future.

In the evening, on the well-known literature and art program in China, the Olympic champion and some entertainment stars from Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan performed on the same stage to show the spirit of the people all over the country.

Although Lin Mu did not participate in the performance in a muddle, according to the instructions of Luo Yi and Feng Yong, he had to take care of the track and field team during the whole process.He is in charge of coming out to communicate and arrange some affairs, but what he usually dislikes the most is these social things.

On September 9nd, there was a lot of commotion the night before, but the new day was a day of seriousness, honor and glory.He really spent it in a state of nervousness and excitement.

Greetings and take a group photo.Encouragement, encouragement, and praise, as the first Olympic sprint gold medalist and the meritorious coach of the national track and field team, he naturally bears the brunt of it. When the chief is in front of him, even if Lin Mu is a mature reborn person, he will inevitably lose a little calmness.

On September 9, after packing up the excitement of being interviewed by the leaders.The commendation meeting of the General Administration and Tianguan Management Center is coming again.Certificates, bonuses, conversations, seminars, and a lot of tax-free bonuses made him unavoidably happy. He would not deliberately pursue these, but no one would hate money, would they?

On September 9, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, in his dual capacity as coach and athlete, led the athletes of the track and field team to attend the award ceremony.The men's relay team won the May 4st Labor Certificate, and he, Liu Xiang and Xing Na received the May [-]st Labor Medal.There is no money, but there is no lack of honor.

On September 9th, I just participated in a few small summary meetings in the track and field team, and another day passed.

On September 9th, they finally arrived at the final itinerary they arranged, the Gold Medal Hong Kong Tour.Lin Mu took several people from the track and field team, and arrived in Xiangjiang with the championship delegation led by Yuan Minwei himself.

Share in the glory and joy of the Olympic Games.Needless to say, receiving gifts and awards, Xiangjiang also has big bosses who are willing to pay for the Olympic champions.

And now, September 9, Xiangjiang Stadium - "Olympic Gold Medal Show".It's different from using his identity as a team coach in China to hide his past.Once here, the leader of Yuan Min's peacekeeping delegation personally gave the order.He had no choice but to lead his disciples through this life.

"In 2001, in Huizhou, China, an athlete who was temporarily retired due to an accidental injury returned to his hometown. On this day, an outstanding athlete was missing and an ordinary middle school physical education teacher was added.

More than a year has passed. In 2003, a young coach and athlete came to the Capital Yanjing National Athletics Team. From that day on, Huaxia Athletics kicked off a new prelude, a bright road to glory...

Audience friends at the scene and in front of the TV, please follow me to the big screen, let us review together, and witness the beginning of a glorious and legendary period together,
2003年8月，世界田径锦标赛男子百米冠军、200米冠军，男子4*100米接力冠军……

In October 2003, Asian Athletics Championships, men's 10-meter champion, 200-meter champion, 400-meter champion, relay champion...

March 2004, World Indoor Athletics Championships, men's 3m champion, 60m runner-up...

August 2004, No. 8 Olympic Games, men's 20m runner-up, 200m runner-up, 400m champion, 4*100m champion..."

In the middle of the stadium, the host's eyes were a little moist. His gentle voice continued to rise with the continuous introduction. A series of honors, as well as some occasional training highlights, made him feel a lot again.

In the stadium with nearly 6 people, the enthusiasm of the audience was getting higher and higher!
"Next, I would like to invite Lin Mu, the deputy head coach of the China Athletics Team, the men's sprint world champion, and his champion disciples, the world champions Yang Zuyao, Zhao Lin, Chen Jianhai, Shen Huan..."

"Oh~"

"Clap clap clap!"

Amid warm cheers and applause, Lin Mu led the relay four to the center of the stage.

"Director Lin, welcome to Xiangjiang!"

"Thank you, and thank you all Xiangjiang compatriots..."

After a polite exchange with the host, Lin Mu led the four of them and waved to all the audience.

"Coach Lin, from temporarily retiring due to injury to returning to the present, there must have been many unknown efforts along the way. I think there have been countless fatigues and hardships, and you must have encountered many difficulties. Do you think, What has supported you to this day?"

After watching Lin Mu interact with the scene, the host spoke again.Compared with many other athletes, for some more important events, the party also has some on-site interviews and interactions from time to time. Of course, there will also be some on-site interviews and interactions at Lin Mu. These are all arranged.

"Well, I won't talk about suffering and tiredness... If you want to talk about supporting me..."

Lin Mu answered the host's questions in a very flat manner. He had been notified before for a temporary interactive interview. Although the leaders of the bureau and the center did not specifically ask for anything.But I think it's just some of those tall words.He didn't want to say much about these.

Slogans and propaganda are undoubtedly useful and can excite and move people, but in his view, these can only be temporary.

Now that the Olympic Games are over, all previous experiences and thoughts, even the glory, will come to an end for now.From the day they returned from Athens, their next journey had already begun.

Now he only thinks about developing and reserving well for the next World Championships and then the 2008 Olympic Games.They also need to return to the ordinary, boring and difficult day after day, even year after year.

Being able to run out of achievements and create new glory is more useful than any slogan.

"Director Lin, who do you think you want to thank the most for getting to this point?"

Lin Mu's very bland answer gave him a headache. Liu Xiang and Sun Ping, who had also had temporary interactions before, were more knowledgeable than this one.

But time was also limited, and it was impossible for him to pursue the answer he wanted, so he could only move on to the next topic.

"Thank you! I must be grateful for the cultivation of the country. As for the people who are grateful, there must be many people, such as parents, teachers, and my coaches when I was in the provincial team. Director Feng and Director Yu of the national team, Director Luo of the center, there is no leader. With your support, we can't do well..."

Lin Mu counted the thank you very formally, and didn't continue.In fact, the person he was most grateful to was Mr. Gu.He knew that without Gu Lao's excavation and strong recommendation, he would not be here today.His growth will fall behind step by step.

"I want to visit Mr. Gu again. How are you doing now? Have you watched the Olympics?!"

Lin Mu was distracted for a moment, and the host asked Yang Zuyao and the others individually about their tiredness from training and their thoughts on the results.I had people from the team give me regular guidance, and they dealt with it very formally.

A few minutes passed, and the process finally passed.The host let out a deep breath and shook his head secretly.He really felt now that the five people in front of him seemed too simple.

"Director Lin, what program did you prepare for our friends in Xiangjiang today? I know that you are not only an expert in track and field, but also have a very high level in literature and art..."

"I don't understand these things!" Lin Mu smiled and shook his head, "The only thing I know is one song, it's a song I wrote myself, it's true, but it's just the voice of our hearts shouted out. Today, the four of them and I will sing for the friends of Xiangjiang!"

"Okay, then I will leave the rest of the time to you!"

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The music started, the lights shone, and Lin Mu led them to start the performance.

Speaking of performance, in fact, as he said, it is the voice of the soul. These athletes may have different experiences, but to come out, everyone must have a moment of sincerity, a persistent spirit, and a God who never gives up.

The lyrics are very simple, and the melody is not complicated. Lin Mu didn't even deliberately rehearse with them, let alone the skills.But just like that, the audience in the originally lively stadium were shocked by the voices shouted out from the heart.

Many of them have never heard of this song, but within a few minutes, they memorized those words unconsciously.

The melody seems to be unimportant, those broken sounds, hoarseness, and even those struggling to break through are the most touching things.Every time they struggled, their hearts seemed to be pierced.Every word seems to have the deepest and most painful resonance in my heart.

"Run forward, meet cold eyes and ridicule..."

"The vastness of life, how can you feel it without going through hardships;"

"Fate cannot make us kneel down and beg for mercy;"

"Even if the blood is all over the arms;"

"Keep running with the pride of a child;"

"How can you see the brilliance of life if you don't stick to it to the end;"

“Better to burn than to linger;”

"For the good in my heart;"

"Uncompromising until you grow old!"

……

"The trip to the Xiangjiang River has come to a successful conclusion, with the song "Chasing Dreams"..."

"A certain boss in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry spoke up, I need Lin Mu, Huaxia needs his soul voice..."

"The crew of "The Condor of the Gods" cast Liu Xiang as Yang Guo..."

"Rough skin, dark face, youth and masculinity of track and field people..."

"Athens Olympic Gods List: Sun God - Liu Xiang, Goddess of Victory - Huaxia Women's Volleyball Team, God of War - Men's Sprint Relay Team, King of Gods - Lin Mu..."

"..."

As the championship report came to an end, the mainstream media gradually receded after setting the tone.In the cultural and sports circles, especially in the entertainment circle, all kinds of comments and hype followed one after another.

A series of noisy headlines of all kinds, and various star voices emerging one after another. Every day, crews of all sizes leaned fiercely on these sports stars.

Among them, Liu Xiang, Lin Mu and others were the most talked about. There is no way, whether it is project influence, performance or personal physical condition, appearance, appearance, body shape, etc., the people in the track and field team are indeed better than those in many sports. few.

Hot topics, entertainment news, gossip and gossip can be described as extremely hyped.

Including Liu Xiang, including Lin Mu, including Yang Zuyao, Zhao Lin and others, often woke up overnight with a few more "related" people and things, and Lin Mu also seemed helpless about these.

He couldn't do anything either, these things couldn't be explained, or in other words, others would prefer them to explain them in a serious way.

Lin Mu had no choice but to ignore it. After finishing the gold medal trip, he had to take advantage of the holiday for a few days, and he needed to run where he should go!

And at home, it seemed that the people waiting in line had annoyed his parents and elder brother so much that he should go back and get rid of these people.Thinking of these, he also felt a little helpless.

The leaders of the province and the relevant departments are easy to deal with, the big deal is to give out bonuses, praise and awards, etc., and he can feel at ease.But other people in society are the things that give him a headache.

He didn't want to be unconventional and pretentious to make it difficult for other athletes who received gifts, but he didn't want to accept these, after all, he was soft-handed.

Let's go and see!
Temporarily suppressing his mood, after returning to Yanjing with the team, the team was disbanded. After a simple rest day, Lin Mu got on the plane to Yucheng.

And in Southeast China, which he didn't pay attention to, a person he had almost forgotten was not calm because of all the disturbing news.

It was also at this time that a message from a leader of the Huaxia Track and Field Team looking for someone in the circle moved this person's heart.

I have already taken care of the trivial matters, and I was originally thinking about how to get closer, but now it’s just right!
So, she packed her luggage and boarded the flight from Minzhou to Yanjing...
