Qiao Wangsheng just quietly looked at the girl who was falling apart and sobbing in front of him. Gao Wen never worried or urged him, he just stayed by his side, listening intently, with a calm but tenacious light surging in his eyes, and he was in a trance.
Time just slowed down.
Qiao Wangsheng had no way of knowing the girl's story. Life was so complex and profound that a few simple words were not enough to summarize it.
But Qiao Wangsheng knew that the girl's life had changed because of Gao Wen, like a faint light lighting up in the endless darkness.
Maybe, that girl will continue to like tennis; maybe, like him, that girl will gradually forget her original enthusiasm in the grind of life; maybe, that girl will have other stories and like other sports... The only thing that Qiao Wangsheng can be sure of
The thing is, that girl will definitely not forget:
In the summer when he fell into despair, an eighteen-year-old boy, on the stage in Flushing, chose to believe in his dream, chose to fight with his head held high, and wrote the myth of miracle creation step by step, and then guided her to escape from the darkness and find the way to continue fighting.
Motivation to keep living.
Because Qiao Wangsheng himself is also like this.
An unexpected brief meeting lasted for more than half an hour.
Although Gao Wen was exhausted and the fatigue between his eyebrows could not be concealed, Gao Wen always kept smiling, hugged and shook hands with the 63 fans in the audience and the five staff in the hotel lobby, and then took a group photo with everyone.
We took care of everyone to the best of our ability.
Finally, Gawain reluctantly waved goodbye and walked away.
However, this is still not the end.
After Tobias sent Gawain back to the elevator, he left and returned.
He said that Gao Wen was very worried when he learned that everyone had been waiting for so long and had not eaten dinner. In addition, it was already late at night and it was not convenient for fans to return to the city. Therefore, Gao Wen left a note.
Cash, hoping that the fans can enjoy a good dinner, and contact the hotel to arrange a shuttle bus to escort the fans back to the transfer station in the city.
Tobias handed a brown paper bag to Qiao Wangsheng, expressed his gratitude again on behalf of Gawain, and then turned and left.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Qiao Wangsheng looked at the kraft paper bag in his hand. There was handwriting in Chinese on it. It was obviously not Tobias's handwriting, it must be Gowen's own handwriting.
"Thank you for coming to watch me play, and thank you for still believing in your dream.
Gawain."
More than 60 fans gathered together in a bustling manner, listening to Qiao Wangsheng read the words, the excitement and happiness in their eyes reflected each other.
Opening the brown paper bag, there was 20,000 yuan in cash neatly stacked inside.
Qiao Wangsheng was immediately shocked, "Does Gao Wen carry so much cash with him?"
"Probably not. While Gawain was taking care of us, Tobias went to the ATM to withdraw money." Someone next to him noticed the details and gave the correct answer.
Qiao Wangsheng looked at the stack of cash in his hand, feeling a little embarrassed, "But, what should we do?"
They came to the hotel from the stadium to wait for Gawain, which was completely voluntary, because they liked Gawain and because they were worried about Gawain's condition.
No one expected that it was already close to midnight in a blink of an eye. No wonder Gawain was so worried and thought about everything for them.
In this situation, complex emotions are intertwined. After such a day of ups and downs, it is really difficult to find accurate words to describe the feeling at this moment. However, my nose can't help but feel a little sore, and then I can see some people turning their heads away, secretly
He rubbed his eyes.
"Why don't we donate this money to charity projects in Gawain's name?"
In the crowd, someone suggested.
Qiao Wangsheng's eyes couldn't help but light up. This was indeed a perfect proposal. Looking around, he could see many people around him nodding in agreement:
Use a seed of hope to sow more hope and light up the world through inheritance. This is the correct way to open up.
Although Gao Wen unfortunately stopped in the semi-finals of the Magic City Masters and failed to make further history, there is still a hot trend on social networks:
Behind-the-scenes footage of Gawain's participation in the Magic City, interesting stories about fans' close encounters with Gawain, episodes at Gawain's training ground...and so on.
These stories are being spread by word of mouth, just like the treatment of idol singers, and enthusiastic fans are gathering in droves.
Obviously, this super new star is using his charisma to conquer more fans on and off the court.
What is certain is that in just one month of the Asian season, the new US Open champion returned to his hometown to participate in the competition. He gained a lot and left with hope, and sow the seeds of hope behind him:
A new tennis craze is unfolding in a mighty way, but we don’t know how high this wave can reach this time.
In this section, after Gawain was eliminated from the game, he packed up his luggage and left the Magic City. Amidst the grandeur and noise of thousands of people seeing him off, he ended his short trip to his hometown.
Unfortunately, Gao Wen did not have time to return to his hometown to visit his family because the season was not over yet and he had to go to Europe to prepare for the upcoming European indoor hard court season——
Although it is also a hard court, the different materials of the court also put different demands on the players, and naturally it will take some time to get used to it again.
Over there, the Magic City Masters Tournament was still in full swing.
In the second semi-final, Federer and Djokovic started a battle between Mars and Earth. Facing Djokovic, who won the championship in the Imperial Capital last week, Federer showed good competitive form and scored two "6:
4" to win in straight sets, avenging the loss in this year's Wimbledon final.
In the final, everyone thought that Federer should be able to defeat Simon, but Simon continued his hot touch this week, used airtight defense to confront Federer's smooth offense, and presented a classic "contradictory battle" to the Shanghai audience.
.
"7:6(6)", "7:6(2)".
In the end, Federer narrowly defeated Simon in a two-set tie-break, and after saving match point to defeat L-Mayer in the second round, he performed strongly all the way and won the Magic Masters without losing a set in the following four games.
This is Federer's second Masters championship trophy this year after the Cincinnati Masters in August, proving that he is still a strong contender for the championship.
Obviously, starting from the Australian Open at the beginning of the year and continuing to the US Open at the end of the year, the topic of "the official collapse of the Big Four blockade" has been noisy. The situation of the four Grand Slams losing two has not been seen for many years. Judging from various reasons, the Big Four have
They are all facing different life problems, and their dominance is gone forever.
However, as the Magic City Masters is the first top-level event after the US Open, Federer and Djokovic still proved their abilities with their performance in the semi-finals——
If others want to subvert the era of the Big Four, they may have to work harder.
After all, the reason why the "Big Four" were able to win such a title was that they were tempered with blood and flames after one bayonet battle after another, and after experiencing waves of impact from the new generation.
