A gentle woman was speaking seriously to the man beside her.
"How could it be? After so many years, everyone may have forgotten about me."
The man with a vicissitudes of life also looked at this video and said with emotion.
If anyone familiar with competitive sports sees his face, he will definitely recognize who he is. He is Liu Yixiang!
Liu Yixiang recalled his past.
At that time, the huge stadium had green lawns and a red plastic track.
That was during the 2004 Olympic Games.
He was standing on runway four.
He was the only Asian in that 110-meter hurdles race.
What was he thinking at the time?
All he knew was that he had to cross it.
He just knew he had to get through it.
More than one billion Chinese people are watching him.
He carries the pride of China on his back.
He carries the pride of black hair and yellow skin.
The hurdles on the track were like mountains blocking him.
He knew that as long as he crossed these mountains, everyone would be able to witness the flying man of China.
Everyone will be able to hear the voice from China.
At that time, the clear voice seemed to ring again.
"preparation!"
"Bang!"
As soon as the whistle blew, the athletes on the same starting line were all ejected from the starting line like lightning.
And it was he who was in first place at that time!
That is the color of Chinese red!
The first railing, the second railing, and the third railing were all crossed.
He rushed to the front all the way, and finally before everyone had time to react, he rushed directly to the finish line!
The result at that time was 12 seconds 91!
He won the Olympic world championship.
The deafening cheers from the audience could clearly be heard, and everyone was shouting that we were the champions.
What did he say then?
"I'm so excited. Who said yellow people can't get the top 8 places in the Olympics!"
"I must prove to everyone today that I am the Olympic champion!"
"I feel that my dream will eventually become a reality. I believe that there will be more miracles waiting for me to create in my future sports career."
At that time he was in his prime, at that time he was full of youth.
But at this moment, as the song sounded, the memory suddenly changed to 2008.
At that time, I was far less energetic than I was four years ago.
My right foot already had a dull pain, which had occurred countless times during training.
But he can't give up.
This is the Olympic Games closest to home under the gaze of the whole country.
How could he miss the Olympics at his doorstep?
Although the doctor has advised him not to participate anymore.
But how could he not participate?
Behind him are the expectations of 1.3 billion Chinese people!
It is the hope in the hearts of 1.3 billion Chinese people!
It's a pity.
The violent exertion caused the old Achilles tendon injury in his right leg to relapse.
It became extremely difficult to even walk, let alone run.
He suddenly remembered everyone's lengthy comments during that period.
"You are simply a disgrace to the whole of China! You even participated in the competition, and you lost without even running. How can you be the same as you were 4 years ago?"
"So many people are counting on you to run away. You are so hypocritical. Are you hyping up?"
"Are you too commercialized? As a result, you don't even have time to practice! Do you want to face so many advertisements? Shouldn't the most important thing for athletes be to focus on training? How can you be so commercialized?"
"Get out of China. I was a fool for liking you at that time. How could I like someone like you!"
"I originally regarded you as my idol, but I didn't expect that as an idol, you would actually back down from the battle, even doing the same at the Olympics in front of your home..."
Memories are playing like a slide show.
He thought he had forgotten it, but he didn't expect that when he recalled it, he could still remember it as vividly as if it were yesterday.
And in the blink of an eye, four years later, he was back on the court.
It was obviously a hurdle that he had conquered, but at this moment it was firmly blocking his progress.
He really wanted to surpass the hurdle in front of him.
But as the signal light sounded,
When he came to the first hurdle, he fell to the ground with a plop.
What is heartbreaking pain?
What is hysterical roaring?
Behind him are the eyes of 1.3 billion people!
He wants to stand up.
Instead, he tried his best and spent all his strength...
He can't stand up.
He watched as athletes around him were surpassed one after another.
I see the distance between myself and other athletes getting wider and wider.
I have reached the last place.
In front of him is his pride and his glory.
But at this time, he could only jump through each railing.
The final kiss on the final hurdle.
He suddenly remembered how netizens scolded him during the period when he received the most negative comments.
"Liu Paopaa, you have to be shameless. Don't waste your athlete quota by occupying yourself in the toilet!"
"You see, he is obviously greedy for those commercial advertisements. If he is not an athlete, those commercial advertisements will not come to him. He is just a selfish guy!"
"He is just an actor. Don't treat him as an athlete."
"I'm so annoyed by people who only love money, and they forget about the justice of the motherland!"
One comment after another was like a sharp needle, pricking his body with holes.
Liu Yixiang's face had already flashed with trance.
It turns out that so much time has passed.
Wu Bai's singing voice rang out at the same time.
"I have crossed mountains and seas"
"Also passing through the crowds of people"
"Everything I've ever had"
"In the blink of an eye, everything is gone like smoke"
No one knows better than him what it means to have crossed mountains and seas and passed through mountains and seas of people.
No one knows better than him that everything I once owned is gone like smoke in the blink of an eye.
It has been highlighted and attracted attention.
I have been disappointed and despaired.
Everyone will eventually face their own ordinaryness and mediocrity.
At this moment, when he turned on his phone, Liu Yixiang suddenly found that his private messages were pouring out.
"Liu Yixiang is sorry. Listening to the song Ordinary Road, I think of you. I'm sorry for the bad comments I made about you many years ago."
"Liu Yixiang is sorry. Listening to the song Ordinary Road, I feel that I owe you an apology. Is it too late to say it today?"
"Liu Yixiang is sorry. You are my favorite athlete, bar none. I dared to say this back then, and I still dare to say this now."
"I'm sorry Liu Yixiang. Invincible hero, you and I are both ordinary people. I hope you live a happy life."
...
Seeing the private messages one after another, Liu Yixiang's eyes suddenly became blurry.
And his wife beside him smiled even more now.
"Look who said they have forgotten you? Everyone still remembers you."
Yes, even after so many years, he is still remembered by everyone! This chapter has been completed!
