Return to the top of the road to champions

Born in the poorest part of the province, Tao Wei ever since he can remember, the best meal is the eggs boiled by his mother every year on his birthday. a birthday.

At that time, the tears in the eyes of the mother standing behind and the sighs of the father made Tao Wei feel shy and full of grievances. Maybe Tao Wei didn't like eating meat since he was a child, and maybe Tao Wei was born with eggs. The best thing ever eaten, Tao Wei has an unusual obsession with eggs even as an adult.

In Tao Wei's memory, although the family is poor, his parents love him very much. Everyone in the village knows that Tao Wei and Tao Erwa are the lifeblood of Tao Chengcai and Geng Dafeng. Somersault, Tao Chengcai and Geng Dafeng will feel distressed for a long time.

Although many people laughed at the old Tao's family for not raising a boy, the simple and honest Tao Chengcai just smiled and did what he should do.

However, this kind of happiness has only passed eight years for Tao Wei. In the winter when he was eight years old, Dongzhu's parents accidentally fell into the ice hole. No one knew who quietly chiseled out the ice that belonged to the old Tao's house. When people found out, Tao Chengcai had frozen to death in the ice hole, but Geng Dafeng was still breathing. Geng Dafeng, who was carried home, persisted for half a night, followed in Tao Chengcai's footsteps and left Tao Wei behind. .

The sudden death of Tao Chengcai and Geng Dafeng made Tao Wei an orphan who was loved by no one. Although his aunt was at home and Geng Erfeng loved Tao Wei very much, he couldn't compare with Tao Chengcai and Geng Dafeng.

Stubborn Tao Wei refuses to believe that his father and mother are dead and refuses to be someone else's child, living alone in his old house. In just three years, he has changed from an innocent child to an independent head of the family.

Sadness is sad, but the hard life can only give Tao Wei a sigh. It is said that the children of the poor are headed home early, especially Tao Wei who has no parents and only lives on his own three acres of land. After learning how to plan carefully, three years later, Tao Wei, who was in the fourth grade of elementary school, accidentally participated in a sports meeting held by the county. When he saw the children skating on the ice, he felt dissatisfied for the first time in his heart.

The rural children in the Northeast, especially the rural children who live by the water, can't play slippery on the ice?When he saw the end, Tao Wei's eyes lit up with a stack of books and five yuan that the skating child got, as if he had found a way to make money all of a sudden, and his eyes fell on the pair of ice skates that were shining with cold light.

After pondering over and over again, Tao Wei returned home and lay on the kang pondering for a week. He made a pair of ice skates with a wooden board and broken iron sheet and quietly came to the water surface of his home. Standing on the ice skates once, perhaps born to eat this bowl of rice, the blunt iron sheet and the uneven ice surface, the stumbling Tao Wei stooped and slid his first step imitating the movements seen by the imitators.

Although the astringent and unedged iron piece is very blunt, Tao Wei seemed to have found the fun all of a sudden. After a while, he was playing on the ice one by one, and sometimes tightened the hemp rope on the wooden board. One winter, Tao Wei was stunned. I learned to skate without a guide and without a pair of proper skates.

Not to mention skills, Tao Wei is just proud of having a passable speed. However, when Tao Wei learned to skate, the spring season came and the melting ice made Tao Wei disappointed, but after all, he was young. , Tao Wei is just disappointed.

In the winter of the second year, the ice surface had just frozen solid, and Tao Wei, who accidentally dug out his homemade ice skates, rang out his notebook and money again. The ice skates that had lost their teeth came to the surface of their own water again.

Day after day, Tao Wei, who soaked in the ice as long as he found time, challenged his teacher to participate in the Winter Games when the Winter Games were held again in January County.

It was still the same pair of wooden shoes or the same ragged clothes. Amidst the ridicule of loud laughter, Tao Wei, who could not even pose and listen to gunshots, stunned all the elementary and middle school students in the county. Tao Wei, who was the last one to start, was sliding Afterwards, like a nimble little leopard flying towards the distant finish line, Tao Wei attracted everyone's attention with his excellent sense of balance and thin and flexible figure.

When Tao Wei, who was hanging on the red rope and jumped a long way, stopped sliding with his own wrestling style, his little face flushed with cold was full of smug smiles. Tao Wei, who was full of five yuan in front of him, didn't know that he was in the stands Sitting a man who changed the fate of his life.

Standing on the podium, Tao Wei pouted and looked at the sportswear and sneakers in his hands, and tears almost fell down. He wanted money but not clothes. In Tao Wei’s opinion, he had clothes. Although they were a bit worn out, they kept warm Enough is enough, no money is important.

If it weren't for the habit of not crying, maybe Tao Wei would have cried standing on the podium, and walked down the podium to stand in front of the teacher who was full of surprises. The unhappy Tao Wei let the physical education teacher finally after the surprise Noticing the displeasure of the child in front of him, Tao Wei's answer made the physical education teacher angry and funny during the low-pitched inquiry.

After being ridiculous, the slight sourness made the physical education teacher gradually put away the smile on his face, touched his pocket, took out five yuan and handed it to Tao Wei, which was regarded as a reward from the school to Tao Wei.

The brand-new five yuan made Tao Wei burst into laughter from ear to ear, and directly stuffed the clothes and sneakers in his hand to the teacher, generously saying that he changed them.

The physical education teacher who couldn't laugh or cry knocked Tao Wei directly, and took Tao Wei to leave, but when the two were about to leave the participating school, a small physical education teacher accompanied a middle-aged man to the two of them.

After careful questioning, when he learned that both the shoes and the training were made by Tao Wei himself, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and after explaining a few words to the physical education teacher in a low voice, he took the newborn calf not afraid of tigers Tao Wei came to the ice rink again.

The brand-new ice skates were handed to Tao Wei, and after a brief explanation, Tao Wei, whose eyes were shining, put on the pair of skates handed over. It was different from the homemade skates, and the pair of skates on his feet made Tao Wei unspeakable. Shu Tan, stood up and stomped his feet, took a few steps tentatively, and found that apart from being smoother than his own pair, the only thing left was Shu Tan.

Smiling Tao Wei stood in front of the starting line again, stealthily learning a half-bent body posture, and Tao Wei's face with shining eyes was full of self-confidence without knowing it.

The gunshot sounded, and Tao Wei, who seemed to be an arrow from the string, rushed out. The initial rapidity caused Tao Wei to tilt slightly when turning, but then Tao Wei, who seemed to have found his feeling all of a sudden, was in the next three laps. Finally, the speed became faster and more stable. When turning, he did not use his fingers to support his body like a trained child, but directly pressed sideways and used his flexible feet to support his body.

This scene surprised the eyes of the middle-aged man who was observing closely. It was the first time he met such an excellent seedling in 13 years of coaching, so the middle-aged man followed Tao Wei back to Dawangtun on the same day.

After explaining the truth in detail, Tao Weiyi couldn't care about anything when he heard that there was still 30 yuan a month for food and housing, and persuaded the hesitant Geng Erfeng to leave with the middle-aged man.

And this person is Yu Chengfei, the short-track speed skating coach of the H Provincial Sports Team. In just three years, Tao Wei, who is only 15 years old, has become the best athlete in the short-track speed skating youth group in China. When Wei thought he would continue to create achievements in short track speed skating, Tao Wei was spotted by Ma Deming, the coach of the Chinese men's figure skating team, and coordinated into the men's figure skating team.

Not to mention that Yu Chengfei was not happy about receiving this news, Tao Wei himself was also unwilling. In Tao Wei's heart, who had never paid attention to what figure skating was, figure skating with twisting waist and buttocks was the work of old women. How can the boy do that job.

Tao Wei was extremely negative after joining the figure skating team due to his resistance before joining the team. Whether it was physical training or dance lessons and music lessons from the instructor, Tao Wei often skipped classes. After countless contests, until 1998 After being brought to the Nagano Winter Olympics by coach Ma Deming, Tao Wei, who saw Ilya Kulik's performance, was completely infected by the passion and majesty that is different from the softness of women, and was deeply attracted by the jump that can completely infect people's hearts. Tao Wei unconsciously beat Couric, who was spinning rapidly in the arena.

At the end of the game, Couric won the men's singles championship as everyone expected. Tao Wei, who had been in a trance all day long, was brought to the training ground by Ma Deming, who had been silently observing Tao Wei. The huge gymnasium had crystal clear ice , as if the jumping figure appeared in front of Tao Wei's eyes again.

Silently handed his skates to Tao Wei, who was immersed in the shock, without resisting as before. After taking it, Tao Wei got off the skates on the bed and slowly came to the ice under the watchful eyes of Ma Deming.

Standing quietly in the center of the ice, Tao Wei raised his head slightly and slowly closed his eyes, and asked Ma Deming to take out the CD player that was quietly carried in his arms. It was also the music of the Three Musketeers, but it was different from Kulik's majestic passion. , but the longer WhenWeWereYoung.

The music started, and Tao Wei, who was standing quietly in the center of the field, remained motionless, even his posture did not change. The music played slowly and echoed in the empty arena. Tao Wei, who gradually became still, dimmed Ma Deming's hopeful eyes. One minute and one second slipped, 10 minutes to 10 minutes, until an hour, just when Ma Deming was completely disappointed and ready to turn around and leave.

Tao Wei, who was still still, moved, his toes lightly tapped, and his whole body slid out. With the long music, he flew quickly. The young and imperfect movements fell in Ma Deming's eyes, but they were the beginning of hope, and they burst out again. Looking at the figure in the field who jumped up and down but still didn't stop dancing with his bright eyes, Ma Deming's eyes gradually became moist. For nearly three years, Ma Deming, who has always insisted on Tao Wei, knew that the initial expectation had finally come from this moment. got the most bang for your buck.
