Chapter 5 Athens in 2004
In 04, if you had to ask what the most exciting thing about the summer vacation was, it must be sitting at home in a crowd and watching the Olympic Games every four years. In 4, there were not so many things to play in the city, let alone in a small village.

Being able to watch TV was the happiest thing for Su Shen back then.

Even if he did it all over again, he still wanted to witness Liu Xiang's feat in 04.

That was the first time that a person of yellow race won a single gold medal in a major track and field event.

This is a crucial moment in the history of national track and field, and even the history of Asian track and field.

Looking at it again, the mood must be different. Just like in memory, Liu Xiang made it all the way to the finals of the Athens Olympics.There are no black and white people here, but he has yellow skin.

He scored 13.19 in the promotion competition and successfully broke into the top eight in the Olympic 110-meter hurdles.

In one fell swoop, it smashed the "publicly known" rumors that the yellow race could not get the top eight in the Olympic running event.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"I just don't have any burdens, and I don't have any regrets, because I have already broken through history, and I will continue to work hard tomorrow. If one is spelled out, it is one."

"I'm going to fight them with my life tomorrow."

……

This familiar interview scene made Su Shen also remember clearly. He knew that Liu Xiang's name would soon become famous all over the world.It is not an exaggeration to say that "no one in the world knows the king".

After all, this person is his "idol".

He set a precedent for yellow athletes in track and field events.

This meaning is the most important.

Before the start of the game, the children all got together. Because of the summer vacation, no one cared about watching the game until the early hours of the morning.The children in the small village have nowhere to go, so they just sit here, eating melon seeds and watermelon, chatting and spanking.

Put it at home, and it's the Olympics again, so the adults just indulged the children once.

"Who do you think will win? Can Liu Xiang win the card?"

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Being able to enter the Olympic finals is already a task. Didn't you read what he said above?"

"Ah, I can't get a medal, it would be great if I could get it."

"Xiao Tian, ​​what do you think? What ranking do you think Liu Xiang can get today?" A cousin named Su Cheng asked, he was obviously the one who talked the most.

"I think Liu Xiang can win the gold medal." Su Shen was thinking about something, when asked, he said casually.

"Yeah, I also think I can get one... wait, Xiao Tian, ​​what are you talking about? What? Gold, a gold medal?" Even Su Cheng, who dared to think the most, was dumbfounded, not knowing how to return .They are all high school sports students and know more about this than the general public.

That's why they felt that what Su Shen said was a bit "whimsical".

Now it is the world of "race theory", and it has basically become the consensus of everyone that people of the yellow race are naturally less athletic than Europeans and Americans.

Coupled with the advocacy of "public intellectuals", you can find answers like this on the Internet.

"Xiao Tian, ​​are you kidding, gold medal? You want to win a gold medal for the first time in the finals? There are so many whites and blacks, what are you fighting for? Liu Xiang is very good, but he... is just a yellow man. "Su Cheng's words are not malicious, and all sports students think so now, not to mention the rest of the passers-by who don't know how to do it, but God Su knows that this kind of nonsense will gradually be rewritten in the future.

When our nutrition system gets better and better, when our training system becomes more and more standardized, "ethnic theory" will gradually become untenable.Especially in track and field, let me tell you now, I used to be faster than all whites, second only to all blacks, and second only to descendants of West African descent.But now if I say that white people are the best sports cells, will I be sprayed bloody by the "public knowledge" in the society?

Now that he said it, Su Shen didn't think about changing his words, so he took it as a teenager's heart: "I dreamed yesterday that Liu Xiang won the championship, so I believe he will definitely be able to."

ha?
This answer was given to the cousins ​​who were all about to listen to the following, and almost fell to the ground.

But considering that this cousin is only a junior high school student, that's fine, and he can't be too demanding.

Now is not the era when a smartphone can scan the world.

Middle school students these days are relatively simple.

You can say "My fate is up to me" and "Don't bully the young and poor" can make countless students excited for a long time at night.

Su Shen didn't join the discussion, he just quietly waited for the game to start.

Not long after, the 110-meter hurdles final began.

"Liu Xiang is standing on the fourth lane." CCTV, the commentary had already come out, and everyone stopped discussing and prepared to watch the game seriously.

bang——

The gun goes off and the game begins.

"Liu Xiang's start was very smooth."

"He's number one right now."

"He's next to Trammell, O'Neill Giles."

"Liu Xiang, in the leading position."

"Liu Xiang!"

"Liu Xiang is still in the leading position!"

At this time, everyone is already nervous, because at this time they are still number one, so...

"Liu Xiang!"

"Liu Xiang!!!"

"Liu Xiang won!!!!"

"Liu Xiang made history!!!"

"A yellow-skinned, black-haired Chinese has become a world trapeze!!!"

In fact, the whole process is only a short 12.91 seconds, but for all Chinese people, even for the entire yellow race, it is a shot in the arm.

Especially when all the young people saw this man wearing the national flag, their moods were subconsciously stirred up.

Post-match interview.

"Who says people of yellow race can't get the top eight in the Olympics?"

"I must prove it to everyone today."

"I'm an Olympic champion."

"I think dreams will eventually become reality."

……

After a long silence, the entire small room erupted in shocking shouts.

"Damn, Xiao Tian, ​​what the hell are you...God, you're amazing." Su Cheng stared at the TV with wide eyes, and then at God Su beside him: "Your dream has come true! .”

Even Su Yun on one side felt at first that Su Shen thought that Liu Xiang could win the gold medal, it was really a whimsical thing.

The teachers of our sports team have said that people of the yellow race are not as good as Europeans and Americans in this aspect. How can it be possible to break through the limitations of talent and race?

result……

clap clap.

There was a slap in the face.

What about "ethnicism"?What about "surely you can't outrun Europeans and Americans"?

So, what is this young man wearing the national flag doing now?

Many prejudices were broken step by step in this way. Su Shen knew very well that he had also been such a guide in the past.

"Xiao Tian, ​​why are you not excited? This is a gold medal, shining in Asia." Su Cheng asked.

"Maybe I've seen it once in my dream." Su Shen said perfunctorily, but it wasn't that he wasn't excited, but after being excited, he felt that his future challenges might be even greater.After all, 100 meters is a "king of kings" race.

During the Olympic 100-meter final, all competitions are suspended.

One can imagine the difficulty.

This is a "crown" game, and I hope that I can achieve greater breakthroughs like Liu Xiang.

accomplish dreams.

This night, I don't know how many people were shocked by Liu Xiang's historic gold medal, plus the "[-] o'clock news from Tianchaotai"...

I don't know how many teenagers have set foot on the stage of challenging the limit.

Tonight, God Su and his cousins ​​are having trouble falling asleep.
