Section 404 Year-end Ceremony: Saints of the Far East (Part 1)
After returning to China this time, Wang Ai made many new friends, especially among the top ten athletes, who all exchanged mobile phone numbers with each other. Wang Ai, Yang Yang, and Yao Ming are the closest.
After attending the commendation meeting, Wang Ai returned to Germany to continue his studies. At the same time, except for Bai Guanghai, who took a week off to return to China to deal with personal matters (mainly consigning a Mercedes-Benz to Xi'an, and then driving to his girlfriend's house to show off his odor), several others
All the Chinese players stayed and prepared to return to China with Wang Ai.
This is not to flatter, but they learned from Luo Tongliang the secret of his and Lao Bai's rapid growth and secondary development. Now, although the winter break is over, Wang Ai still maintains at least six hours of training every day.
If you have more, you can communicate with them more, conduct more scientific training together, and maintain a healthy and complete competitive state.
After the bustling New Year, the University of Tübingen had another half month of classes and then went on holiday.
Just before returning to China, Wang Ai received two more pieces of news: First, the annual top ten athletes selection launched by Xinhua News Agency. Wang Ai was also on the list, also ranked first. However, the list announced by the Sports Department of Xinhua News Agency,
It's just a selection, there are no rewards, and naturally there is no commendation meeting, so you don't need to attend.
The "Top Ten" selected by Xinhua News Agency is slightly different from the list of the Sports Bureau, because the selection criteria are different. The Sports Bureau's selection is more from a competitive perspective, while Xinhua News Agency selects from the national and social levels, focusing more on a
Athletes' off-field performance.
Although Wang Ai has mixed reputations within the football community, and people of all ages criticize him. But in the view of Xinhua News Agency, these are all your internal conflicts and are irrelevant. Besides, isn't it normal for your men's football team to be scolded for being such a bear?
I want to scold him! The main reason is because Wang Ai has a very friendly attitude towards the fans and society. Although ordinary people can't catch him because he lives in seclusion, he was really caught by the fans. He signed autographs, took photos, and chatted without any taboos. Wang Ai never "discovered" it before.
When traveling in first class at home and abroad, he was often caught by fans. Wang Ai didn't care about the star aura at all, and he didn't care if bold fans teased him. He even spent several hours on the plane with a boy who was taken by his parents.
Chinese tutoring for children. Under his leadership, at least several Chinese players in Tübingen Youth have a peaceful style, and Xinhua News Agency pays more attention to this aspect.
Another piece of news was brought to him by an unexpected person. Wang Ai was shocked when he received the call, because this person's name was Bai Yansong! Wang Ai thought something had happened to him, but he was affiliated with the CCTV Commentary Channel
, in other words, to implement public opinion supervision.
As a result, Bai Yansong told him good news: Wang Ai was selected as the 2002 Touching Chinese Figure. This is a new column launched by CCTV. Originally, the specific list would not be announced until mid-February, but in mid-January
We need to start preparations in advance. At least we should notify the candidates first, give the selected candidates time to prepare, arrange their itinerary, etc.
Wang Ai's situation is a bit more special.
In fact, many people on CCTV have watched the video of the commendation meeting of the General Administration of Sports on the last day of 2002. Under the witness of so many senior cadres, Wang Ai dared to speak impromptu. What else did he not dare to do? So,
Both the CCTV program team and the host Bai Yansong felt that this matter must be communicated with Xiao Wang. Because he has to be invited to the scene and has to speak. If you don't make an agreement with him, what will happen if he does another "talk show"?
? Even if the words are good, the CCTV live broadcast is different from the internal meeting of the Sports Bureau, and the time is stuck.
But when asked, Wang Ai said he would think about it, but when he called back, something really happened.
He said no! Even if he had a very good relationship with her and was even rated by CCTV, which had escorted Wang Ai's growth all the way, Wang Ai didn't want it, and he was very determined.
For ordinary people, CCTV would have to lose face at that time. It's shameless for you! But for Wang Ai, no one thought that Wang Ai was acting like a big star. The relationship between the two parties was really good.
Hearing that Wang Ai didn't want it, Bai Yansong's heart skipped a beat, and at the same time he secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, he asked!
But Wang Ai must be selected. Not only because of his breakthrough in the World Cup and Asian Games, but also Wang Ai's very positive and huge social influence. Wang Ai's various achievements in the World Cup really moved China. Even if he
I am more moved by happiness than sadness, but I am moved. The "sea of tears" in "People's Pictorial" is still unforgettable. Whenever the sports channel looks back at the World Cup, Wang Ai's goal and the fans
The madness is always a classic picture. Regarding the newly launched touching China program, objectively speaking, Wang Ai has a huge influence. For the public, Wang Ai's touching is not touched, so whose touching is?
Wang Ai gave two reasons: First, this is the first year of the selection of Touching China. I am a football star. I have gained too much and absorbed too many social resources. I don’t want to lay such a foundation for the program. If
I was selected this year, so you will inevitably use me as the standard in future selections. In the end, if the program fails, it will not be "Moving China" but "Prosperous China, Entertaining China". I hope you can dig and explore.
Those stories of civilian heroes. Only the stories of civilian heroes are the most real and the ones that make people feel the most. Secondly, it is unfair to choose me. I am not relying on my deeds, but on the huge influence of football.
Not to mention other industries, in the sports circle, there are many world No. 1s in many sports. Aren’t their stories touching? Just say that the persistence of Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo for many years is not more touching than mine? So choose me.
, even for other sports, it is unfair. This is not really moving China, but is still "buying China". The name is not true. I have no shame to ask for this name.
The famous mouthpiece Bai Yansong could not convince Wang Ai, who was deeply ashamed!
Bai Yansong, who felt extremely complicated, went back to report to the leader. After research, he called Wang Ai again to discuss it. As a result, Wang Ai became stubborn and refused to give up. In the end, Bai Yansong made a phone call to the China Light Industry Federation and invited Wang Ai, the vice president.
Comrade Bin. Under the fruitful ideological work of Vice Chairman Changchun Fenghuayu and the persuasion and education of the "big mouth", the two parties reached an agreement: First, Wang Ai will not be selected as an individual, but as the Chinese men's football team.
Selected in a collective way, secondly, they are not selected into the official list, but receive a special award together with the Three Gorges immigrants.
