In 2004, Liu Xiang won the championship at the Athens Olympics.
A reporter described: He ran all the way to the finish line, moving forward excitedly, and was finally stopped by the javelin coach. He ran towards me, but I didn’t dare to look into his eyes. I couldn’t control my tears at all. I felt
His whole body was glowing.
In 2009, at the World Athletics Championships in Berlin, when he saw Lu Yan crossing the finish line first, head coach Feng Shuyong couldn't react for a moment. The men's 100-meter dash, which had been dominated by blacks for decades, was suddenly won by Lu Yan.
, there is always a somewhat unreal feeling.
Fortunately, the cheers around him brought him back to reality. Lao Feng vigorously waved his fist, and was immediately captured by a foreign reporter next to him.
However, more reporters and their cameras were still focused on Lu Yan.
On this day, many international news agencies, including Agence France-Presse, Reuters, and the Associated Press, published news about Lu Yan’s victory in the men’s 100 meters.
Among them, the Associated Press even combined the pictures of Lu Yan crossing the finish line and Feng Shuyong waving his fist.
Domestically, many media reported the news of Lu Yan's victory. On TV, the video of the one-point game was played repeatedly.
It can be summed up in one sentence: become famous all over the world in one fell swoop!
Lu Yan was also very famous in the past, but his audience was limited and incomprehensible.
For example, the fact of being the top scorer in the college entrance examination is mostly spread among the Songjiang education system and the parents of students who are concerned about the college entrance examination.
As for the title of "the most awesome retail investor in history", even those who don't like stock trading have heard of it.
A successful business and a net worth of several billion are only spread among people who like to follow financial news.
After all, the media in 2009 was far less developed than later, let alone self-media.
With reports from many satellite TV stations, sports stations, newspapers, and radios, Lu Yan's name suddenly became known to the domestic public like an explosion.
In fact, in another time and space, there was a champion in this World Track and Field Championships, and that was Bai Xue, who won the women's marathon event.
However, her fame is far from comparable to Liu Xiang.
First, it is a marathon project that takes too long and the visual effect is not impressive enough.
Furthermore, in this World Championships, too many famous players were absent for some reason.
The winning time of 2 hours, 25 minutes and 15 seconds can only be ranked 10th in the world in 2009, and is still 6 minutes behind the Asian record. It can be said to be a matter of luck.
But Lu Yan's side was different. His time of 9.51 seconds not only broke Bolt's world record of 9.69 seconds set in the 2008 Olympics, but also surpassed his personal best of 9.56 seconds set in the final.
You can imagine how shocking it is to win a gold medal purely based on your strength!
Because there are still two events in the future, the men's 200 meters and the men's 5000 meters, the content of the interviews by on-site reporters is limited.
Therefore, this issue was urgently produced, mainly to express it from the perspective of "the birth of a famous general", so that the national audience can understand what kind of character this "flying young general" was born out of the blue.
Because of the tight schedule and heavy workload, a lot of the content was covered by phone interviews.
But after putting together the information obtained, the people on the program team were still confused. This is amazing!
At No. 1 Middle School in Fu'an County, I contacted Lu Yan's high school teacher, Guo Xianglin, by phone.
Lao Guo is very capable and conscientious. In addition, he taught Lu Yan, a top scorer in the college entrance examination. In recent years, his salary has been increased and his professional title has been improved. His life in Fu'an No. 1 Middle School is quite comfortable.
But his wife was not satisfied and kept urging him to go up.
Sanjiang City No. 1 Middle School also wanted to poach him. However, Fu'an No. 1 Middle School was unwilling to let go, and Lao Guo also wanted to work hard here.
The treatment is better if you go up there.
The school had just started, and while he was busy hitting his head with his feet, he didn't have time to watch the news. I really didn't know that the top student he taught back then would now dominate the sports world.
When the dean came to him and told him that CCTV wanted a phone interview, Guo Xianglin couldn't believe it.
When I arrived at the office, I saw the news on the computer about Lu Yan and Bolin winning the championship. I was so surprised that I didn't know what to say for a long time.
In fact, he wanted to say shit. Nai Ha was a good example to others. The phone he answered was still on the table. It was not good for others to hear him, so he had to hold it back.
After taking two deep breaths, he picked up the phone on the table and said, "Hello, this is Guo Xianglin of Fu'an No. 1 Middle School!"
"Hello, I'm Jin Hualin, the external relations reporter. I'm calling you. I want to know something about Lu Yan when he was in high school. Can you tell me your first impression of him?"
"clever!"
"Can you tell me more specifically?"
"When Lu Yan was a freshman in high school, his grades were among the top in the class. When he was a sophomore in high school, his grades dropped a lot. His grade level was even outside the 100th grade. But in his senior year, he studied hard for a year and passed the exam.
The top scorer in science in the Songjiang Provincial College Entrance Examination.”
"Wow, that's really a gift!"
Guo Xianglin said: "But I think the main reason why he can achieve such results is because of his hard work!"
"How diligent?"
"He forgets sleep and food, and doesn't waste any time. The students in the class admire him for this, and many of them follow suit. When I was supervising them, I always advised other students to work harder and seize the time. Only for Lu Yan
I advise him to take a proper rest and not get tired!"
Jin Hualin laughed: "Even if you are smart and hard-working, it is really difficult to succeed!"
Guo Xianglin said: "Actually, the difference in intelligence between people is not very big. Many people's hard work is not enough to compete with talent. I later told many students that if you have Lu Yan's hard work,
, Not to mention getting into each of the famous schools, it should be no problem to get one."
Jin Hualin sighed: "It seems that it is inevitable that he can achieve today's success. So how was his sports in high school?"
Guo Xianglin said: "Actually, when he first entered high school, his physical fitness was very average. But when he started studying hard, he also started exercising. I only heard later that he got up every morning and kept running after school.
Go to the river and run back."
"How far is the journey?"
Guo Xianglin really doesn’t know much about this, so he can only give a rough idea, “One or two miles away!”
"Does he run like this every day?"
"I heard that during the second semester of my senior year in high school, I had a heart-to-heart talk with him and asked him about it. He said he kept running. It seems that it was only on the day of the college entrance examination that he didn't get up to run. It is said that he kept running!"
When Jin Hualin heard this, he no longer knew how to describe his feelings.
There are as many smart people in this world as crucian carp crossing a river, but too many people rely on their own smartness and refuse to use it.
There are many hard-working people in this world, but those who are smart, hard-working and able to maintain self-discipline are very few, or even one in ten thousand!
