Have the top ten people who moved Longjiang been selected?

1. "My biggest dream is to win a gold medal in the Beijing Paralympic Games." When saying this, a female swimmer from the Chinese Paralympic delegation and a grade 07 undergraduate student from the School of Special Education of Beijing Union University Xie Qing had a firm and confident smile on his face.

Xie Qing is thin and delicate, cheerful and optimistic, making people unable to believe that she is a girl living in a dark world. But this girl who had never seen colors used her sweat and tears to weave her own colorful world in the swimming pool. At last year's 7th National Games for People with Disabilities, Xie Qing won 5 gold medals and 1 silver medal in 5 events including the women's S11 50-meter freestyle and 100-meter freestyle, breaking 1 world record and 3 national records. .

She was able to achieve these results, in Xie Qing’s own words, because she had endured a lifetime of hardship. Xie Qing was born with retinal atrophy and had some light perception when he was born. However, as he grew older, his light perception became weaker and weaker until he was completely blind. But the ordeal of fate did not break this strong girl. At the age of 9, Xie Qing came into contact with water by chance and developed feelings for this magical object that he had never seen with his eyes. From then on, her colorful dreams took root and sprouted from the water.

"She works very hard in training", this is what Xie Qing's coach said about her. From August to October 2005, as his vision changed from S12 level semi-blindness to S11 level total blindness, the training during this period was the most difficult period for Xie Qing. During the training, she kept bumping into the waterline and the pool wall. Even when she hit the finish line, she had to be reminded by the coach. Her legs were bruised, her head was broken, and her swimming cap was even scratched. But she never thought of giving up training. She always believed that persistence equals victory.

Not only is this true for training, but Xie Qing’s superhuman perseverance in learning is also amazing! After each training session, she insisted on going back to school for self-study in the evening and asking the teacher to make up for missed homework. Sometimes her arms were so sore that she couldn't hold the textbook, so she used her hands to support it. In the end, Xie Qing was not only admitted to Beijing Union University, but also won the President's Special Award in 2007.

In order to realize his biggest dream and win a gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games, Xie Qing trained even harder. Because she knows very well that every gold medal is watered by sweat, and every additional stroke she takes during training is one step closer to the gold medal.

2. When I was 13 years old, I suddenly encountered a battery explosion and fell into the abyss of darkness overnight

"Bang", the colorful world in front of me was followed by a bright light and tearing pain. Falling, falling with him in the dark abyss...

This is a nightmare in Yang Xinqiang's memory. Whenever this scene breaks into his sleep, Yang Xinqiang will wake up.

How much he wanted to forget, but he couldn't.

Yang Xinqiang loved playing football when he was in elementary school. He watched the football playing on his toes and watched the beautiful arc of the ball flying past the goalkeeper and entering the goal. He liked everything in front of him. He never thought that there would be any power that could take this away from him until he was 13 years old. When passing the charger plugged in by his classmates in the classroom, Xiao Xinqiang glanced at the charger with the red light on. This scene was the last image he ever saw in his life. The battery suddenly exploded, and fragments and splashing solution burst into Xinqiang's eyes. Due to the severe injuries, Xinqiang's eyes were removed, leaving only two empty eye sockets.

Since then, Xiao Xinqiang's temper has changed. He has become very sensitive and fragile. He can't stop crying when he hears anyone say "blind man". At the same time, Xiao Xinqiang is more competitive than before, has a strong self-esteem, and cannot tolerate others saying that he is "not good". Any little thing that reminds him of being looked down upon will cause him to lose his temper. At that time, Xiao Xinqiang's mood was pulled into a bottomless abyss by the darkness in front of him.

The first sentence he said after joining the team was "My goal is to compete in the Paralympics"

As he grew older, he was blind and no longer suitable to continue schooling. However, under the persuasion of his family, Next, Xiao Xinqiang chose to attend a school for the blind.

In June 2005, in order to prepare for the blind football project of the Paralympic Games to be held in Beijing, the Heilongjiang Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation went to various schools to select players suitable for playing football. Because Yang Xinqiang had played football before, was familiar with the rules of football, and had good footwork, he was successfully selected and began his blind football career.

After many years, Qin Junpeng, coach of the provincial blind football team, is still deeply impressed by the scene when Yang Xinqiang first joined the team. Coach Qin said that since Beijing is the host of the 2008 Olympic Games, the blind football national team can directly obtain the right to participate in the Olympic Games. If you perform well in the game, you are very likely to enter the national team. Everyone knows this truth, but few people say it. Yang Xinqiang was different when he joined the team. As soon as he was selected for the provincial team, he approached coach Qin and said, "I want to join the national team, and I want to play in the Paralympics!"

At that time, coach Qin did not Knowing Yang Xinqiang, he thought that this 16-year-old boy was just young and energetic, and he just talked about it to cheer him up, but he didn't care. But during subsequent training, Coach Qin discovered that Yang Xinqiang was not just talking. He worked very hard in training and took every confrontation as seriously as a game. He fights fiercely, gets emotional when he makes a mistake, and his nerves are always tense. These performances all prove his strong desire to enter the Paralympics.

After a year of training, Coach Qin already knows his players very well. In his eyes, Zhang Qiang and Yang Xinqiang are the main players of the team and the most promising candidates to enter the national team and eventually the Paralympics. But the performance of these two people in training and competition can be described as completely opposite. Zhang Qiang often cannot reach the level of a main force in normal training, but as soon as he plays in the game, he becomes full of energy, like a different person, and he is a competition-oriented player. Yang Xinqiang works the hardest and performs best in training, but often fails to perform at his true level during competitions. I usually find the ball quickly and accurately, but I often can't find the ball during games, and sometimes I lose my sense of direction. He also seems not calm enough when handling goals. The more anxious he is to score, the easier it is to lose opportunities. Coach Qin saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, because psychological quality cannot be solved by criticism and guidance. The key is to rely on the athletes themselves to mediate.

He saw his weaknesses clearly in that goal in 2006

In the summer of 2006, the National Blind Football Championship started. The blind football team organized and trained by the Provincial Disabled Persons' Federation, For the first time, I stood in the national competition. This competition is not only to show the style of Longjiang disabled people, but also to strive for the top eight to enter the 2007 National Games. Only in this way can they have the opportunity to enter the Paralympics. In the group stage, our province is in a group with Liaoning, Shandong and other provinces. Judging from the pre-match analysis, our province and Shandong are at the forefront of the group and have equal strength. It will be a fierce battle. Liaoning only has an excellent forward and goalkeeper, but is not as good as our province in other aspects. From the perspective of strength, defeating this team is not a big problem. If you defeat other teams such as Liaoning, you can still advance even if you lose to Shandong.

The match in our province was arranged on the second match day. On the first day, the coach led all the players to "listen" to a match of the Liaoning team. Liaoning relied on the excellent forward and goalkeeper to win easily. game. This made the coach a little worried, but the players didn't take it seriously.

The next day, the provincial team and the Liaoning team stood on the same field. As soon as the game started, it was obvious that the strength of the two teams was different. In the words of coach Qin, the whole game was dominated by the Liaoning team. of. However, due to the rules of blind football, the goalkeepers are all able-bodied people with normal vision. Every shot was blocked by the opponent's tall goalkeeper. This made the players a little restless and their performance began to become unstable. At this time, the Liaoning forward took advantage of the opportunity and scored a goal, and the score became 0-1. This made the players more impatient and frequently attacked without seizing the opportunity, but did not pose a threat to the opponent. Seeing that the game was about to end, everyone felt desperate. At this moment, the ball fell to Yang Xinqiang's feet. Due to a mistake by the opponent's defender, Yang Xinqiang passed all the defenders and took the ball alone to tear through the opponent's defense and drive towards the goal.

This is a very good opportunity. Although the blind football goalkeeper has normal vision, he can only move within a three-meter range, and the goal is five meters away.

In other words, if the ball enters within one meter on either side of the goal, there is nothing the goalkeeper can do. What Yang Xinqiang is best at is playing the ball from both sides with tricky angles. He has practiced this action countless times. In the absence of any defenders, Yang Xinqiang should be able to score beautiful goals. It's just that the distance between him and the goal is more than ten meters now. If the distance is reduced to less than 5 meters, Yang Xinqiang will definitely equalize the score with his powerful and awkward shot.

In order to remind Xinqiang to seize this rare opportunity, coach Qin shouted on the sidelines: "Don't worry, no one is next to you, keep dribbling the ball forward! Kick closer!" Yang Xinqiang continued to lead. He took two steps, but when he was still 10 meters away from the goal, he suddenly took a shot. Because the distance was too far, the angle was not well controlled, and the power was consumed by the distance. As expected, the ball was firmly held by the opponent's goalkeeper. The final score was locked at 0-1, and Liaoning defeated Heilongjiang in an upset.

That night, none of the team members spoke. The saddest thing in my heart was Yang Xinqiang. He didn't say a word and repeatedly clenched his hands into fists. Because he wasted the best opportunity in the game, the whole team fell into a passive situation. Coach Qin knows very well that Xinqiang’s desire to enter the Paralympics is so strong. He wants to win more than anyone else, so when he makes undue mistakes, it is harder for him to forgive himself. Coach Qin found Xinqiang and had a conversation with him.

During the conversation, the coach discovered that Xinqiang had changed compared to before. He himself realized that he was too worried about gains and losses during the game, which led to him losing his peaceful mind when finishing the goal. The coach also pointed out that Xinqiang has no technical problems because he works harder than anyone else in training. The key is to defeat himself on the field.

The next day, this forced team faced the Shandong team, the strongest opponent in the group. Facing the strong opponent and the pressure to qualify, the players showed unstoppable momentum and defeated 3-0. For the Shandong team, the last goal was Yang Xinqiang's specialty small corner kick to seal the victory. In the end, they won the right to qualify from the group and entered the 7th National Games in fifth place.

Yang Xinqiang and teammate Zhang Qiang also passed the preliminary selection of the national team due to their outstanding performance in the game. The coach saw the transformation of Xinqiang during the game and became more confident in the child.

Selected into the national team

He grew up overnight

In February 2007, the Provincial Disabled Persons’ Federation organized team members to prepare for the National Games in May. Arrange to go to Hainan for training. At that time, the whole team was in good condition, and everyone was holding back their energy to achieve good results in the National Games and strive for more opportunities to enter the Paralympic Games. At this moment, Zhang Qiang, one of the main players of the provincial team, collapsed due to purulent appendicitis.

The news that Zhang Qiang fell ill was like a shadow, hanging over the hearts of all the team members. In order to stabilize everyone's emotions, Coach Qin had a talk with the team members. Coach Qin told the players that Zhang Qiang fell ill and that he might miss the Paralympics or even end his sports career because of his illness. The team members were all shocked. No one would have thought that things would become so serious. This was a huge psychological shock to Yang Xinqiang.

Playing football in a dark world will always make people fearful, but Yang Xinqiang has never felt such fear. He rushes straight in the right direction without hesitation. No one is injured when playing blind football, but Yang Xinqiang is the one with the most injuries in the team because he works too hard. Since joining the provincial team, Xinqiang has suffered lacerations on the skin on both sides of his eyebrows, requiring more than 10 stitches inside and outside; he has a severe sprain on his right leg and ankle, which requires long-term application; his nose bleeds, and the corners of his mouth are bruised. , elbows, knees bruised skin and bleeding became commonplace. But Coach Qin believes that if you dare to rush and fight, you must also consider the consequences. Playing hard regardless of the consequences will lead to irreparable losses. At this time, Yang Xinqiang was also thinking silently, if he was seriously injured because he fought too hard and lost his qualification for the Paralympic Games due to injury, wouldn't it be a lifelong regret?

In the subsequent training, Yang Xinqiang changed again.

The first change is that he is very concerned about Zhang Qiang's condition, because Yang Xinqiang has a dull personality and doesn't like to talk much. During training, he only works hard on his own. There is relatively little communication. But after Zhang Qiang fell ill, Xin Qiang asked the coach about Zhang Qiang's condition every day. Sometimes the coach came back late from visiting Zhang Qiang, so he would hang around at the entrance of the training ground, waiting for the coach to come back and ask before going back to rest. The daily communication with his teammates also gradually Increased.

After that, the coach discovered other changes in Xinqiang. For several days in a row, Yang Xinqiang disappeared after dinner and didn't come back until after 8 o'clock. At first the coach didn't take it seriously. One day when no one was there at 9pm, the coach hurried out to look for him and found Yang Xinqiang training under the guidance of the goalkeeper. The coach came up and asked: "Why don't you go back at such a late hour?" Xin Qiang replied: "Coach, Zhang Qiang is sick and may not be able to participate in the game. I have to practice hard and try to get good results for our team."

It stands to reason that the selection of players for the national team only depends on individual performance. Even if the team's performance is not good, as long as the players perform well, they can still be selected. Xinqiang has passed the preliminary selection. With his solid training skills, he can keep his place in the national team as long as he performs normally in the National Games. This also realizes his dream of entering the Paralympics. But now Xinqiang has changed. He no longer only thinks about his own Paralympic quota, but he values ??the collective honor more. Xinqiang usually trains very hard, but now he is putting extra pressure on himself in order to consolidate his technical movements and adjust his mental state so that he will not make the mistakes he made before, thus ensuring the performance of the whole team. Looking at Xin Qiang's calm expression, Coach Qin could see the huge change in this young man's mentality, which made him feel warm in his heart.

In the National Games, Yang Xinqiang worked together with Zhang Qiang and his teammates, who were injured, and finally achieved third place in the country. At the same time, Xinqiang was also recognized by the China Disabled Persons' Federation. Was officially selected into the national team. He not only brought honor to the team, but also realized his own Olympic dream. Xinqiang has proved with his actions that he is no longer the Yang Xinqiang who is trapped in darkness worrying about gains and losses. He is sunnier, happier, and more mature than before.

During the national team training, Coach Qin had several phone calls with his favorite players. Coach Qin felt more and more that Yang Xinqiang had changed a lot. Since blind football is a five-a-side game and there are 8 players, Coach Qin was worried that Xinqiang would not have much playing time and would be in a bad mood, but Xinqiang said every time: "It doesn't matter, I have tried my best, so I won't regret it." He once described his teammates like this: "We are an indivisible collective. Whether I am on the field or on the bench, our hearts beat together." A solid foundation laid by hard training and an innate determination to refuse to admit defeat. , coupled with the gradual peace of mind, Yang Xinqiang’s Paralympic journey realized his dream, and also took him away from the darkness in his soul and surpassed his former self.
