Shang said seriously, "It's okay, Mom. After winning the prize in the competition, I'm waiting to do something for my family with the money. You have done too much for me. "
Mother Huang Youlian's eyes are red.
She remembers her daughter's most difficult time. In those years, the annual living expenses were only 2,000 yuan, which was all she could provide for her daughter. "Son, you deserve it."
Shang said firmly, "with this money, my brother's eyes can be cured!" You can also buy him a house! "
This is not a small sum. Looking at Shang Songchun, who is only 1.4m young, Huang Youlian opened her mouth and finally hugged her daughter.
How can a little girl come up with a million dollars?
He turned out to be a gymnast. He made his mark in gymnastics competition from 20 1 1 and achieved good results in the following years.
Participate in the Rio Olympic Games with the delegation in 20 16, winning glory for our country. No wonder I can come up with so many bonuses. However, such an excellent girl is unexpectedly ordinary.
In fact, her hometown is just a small mountain village in Zhangjiajie, Hunan.
After dawn and winding mountain roads, Shi Yanping Village finally emerged in the green hills and white fog.
The patchwork Tujia diaojiao building has a unique simplicity in the mountains. Xiao Shang grew up in this simple and powerful natural mountain.
Her father Shang Jinjun and her mother Huang Youlian are both ordinary workers working on the construction site and usually live in a shed. Shang Jinjun can only earn more than 20 a day, more than 8 thousand a year, and he lives in poverty and barely has enough food and clothing.
She also has a brother with a serious congenital eye disease, which makes the already poor family worse.
Fortunately, although my brother Shang Lei was born with eye disability, he didn't complain and give up on himself. On the contrary, he worked harder and tried not to drag down his family.
When he was 7 years old, his cousin in the city came to visit.
Cousin is chatting with Shang's parents in the living room. When the guests came home, excited Xiao Shang jumped around in the living room, which caught his aunt's attention.
My cousin has seen a lot in the city, and she thinks this little girl is very talented in gymnastics, so she said, "Send the children to the physical education institute. She has this talent, and now the time is just right. "
In fact, Shang Jinjun and Huang Youlian have never studied it. How can they know this? But after hearing her opinion, they did not hesitate: "We can't spoil her talent."
Aunt asked Shang again, "Do you want to learn gymnastics? Do you want to be a world champion? "
The 7-year-old girl is still vague about the concept of world champion. She asked, "Can a world champion cure my brother's eyes?"
Aunt Biao said, "Yes, if you really get good grades in the competition, you will have a lot of money. Not only can it cure my brother's eyes, but it can also make the life of the whole family much better. "
Shang Songchun immediately said, "I want to learn gymnastics!"
After discussion, the family decided to send Shang to the nearby Yongshun County Gymnastics Institute. But the tuition fee of more than 10 thousand a year worries the family.
But it didn't scare them. The husband and wife took out all their savings, borrowed money from relatives, and finally made up the tuition.
At this time, my brother Shang Lei also made a decision: he decided to drop out of school and work in a massage parlor to earn money to subsidize his family, hoping to make some contributions to his sister's gymnastics career.
Shang Songchun didn't say anything, but he kept it in mind and turned it into motivation.
While others are resting, she is training; She was training when others went out to play; She works harder than others when others are training.
"At that time, she had nothing but training clothes." According to later classmates, "everyone put on their beautiful clothes at the weekend, and then found that Shang Songchun was still wearing training clothes."
"In fact, she didn't take the initiative to mention her difficulties," the coach said of the child, showing pity. "But I can't see that she usually only eats one meal, just to save money."
The coach and teammates began to help secretly, and her parents also supported her for ten years without regrets.
She is not only burdened with her own future, but also with the love and expectation of people around her, so she trains harder.
Finally, Shang lived up to expectations and entered the national team at the age of 14.
From then on, the little girl named Shang walked out of the mountains of her hometown and began to climb the peak of gymnastics.
After officially entering the national team on 20 10, the economic situation finally improved. Many things happen. With her efforts, her gymnastics career began to improve gradually.
20 1 1 In March, she won the gold medal on the balance beam with the score of 15. 10 in the Canadian women's gymnastics invitational tournament, and also won two silver medals in floor exercise and uneven bars.
September 20 12, the champion of women's floor exercise in the national gymnastics championship on September 20 12, and the first place in women's floor exercise and balance beam in the fifth Asian gymnastics championship.
Still won three gold medals in the 20 13 National Games.
At that time, Shang's parents still lived in the shed of Changsha construction site. There is no TV in the hut. While they were eating at the construction site, a worker came running with a newspaper: "Do you know that your daughter won the gold medal at the National Games!" "
Shang Jinjun's hand for dinner suddenly stopped, suddenly took the newspaper, and his hand began to tremble unconsciously because of excitement.
He still remembers his mood when he saw the news that afternoon. "I was very happy at the time. After I went back, I immediately set up two tables of banquets and invited the workers in Changsha to have a meal together. "
After the National Games that year, the reporter asked, "Now that I have got the bonus, how do you want to use it?"
Jean Song Chun, who was 0/7 years old that year, replied, "Mom and Dad have been working hard to give them money. And brother! If you have money, your brother can cure your eyes. " At the mention of his family, Shang's eyes softened.
With the more and more achievements of Shang, the public opinion about Shang family began to ferment.
The fact that her bonus was used to buy a house for her brother caused a lot of discussion.
Dazzling words such as "parents and brothers suck blood" and "control their daughters" began to appear on the webpage, which was intolerable.
"You don't know my family at all. You are just making up stories here and slandering my family. "
She said, "When I entered Yongshun Gymnastics School, my mother went to Yongshun to do odd jobs. I was selected for the provincial team, and my mother went to Changsha as a nanny. She works very hard with me. "
And my brother Shang Lei, in order to reduce my sister's financial burden, chose to drop out of school and become a massage technician.
Therefore, when Shang got the bonus, he gave all the money to his family without hesitation.
In the face of doubts, she also stood up and questioned: "I am willing to use my money to buy a house for my brother. This is my business. How much he has done for me and how much his family has done for me, these unscrupulous media have no idea at all and will only follow suit. "
As my brother Shang Lei said, "We will always be her strong backing." Because of their support, the world has bravely climbed the peak on the road of gymnastics and is always full of strength.
But the road to gymnastics in the world is not smooth.
At the 20 14 Incheon Asian Games, she still made it to the final with a solid foundation and extraordinary perseverance, despite being blocked and in poor health.
In the final, her movements on the balance beam were almost perfect. But when I left the scale, I made a mistake. After finishing the action, I lost my footing and sat directly on the mat.
Xiong Ni, deputy director of Hunan Provincial Sports Bureau, once commented Shang: She is a strong athlete with strong ability and high psychological quality. She didn't have too many expressions during the competition, which made people feel that she was calm inside.
Shang, who has always been famous for his calmness, shed tears after this mistake.
In this year's World Championships with 15, her balance beam failed to reach the final. Once, because of the difficulty, another time the referee graded the previous player for too long, which caused her to get cold and lose her shape while waiting.
Shang Songchun never found problems in others, but devoted himself to improving his own ability and analyzing his own objective problems.
20 15, she participated in the world gymnastics championship. In the women's all-around final, she created the best all-around result since she entered the world gymnastics championship with her stable performance.
At the 20 16 Rio Olympic Games, the 20-year-old was still full of ambition and was ready to win an individual medal at the Olympic Games.
On the day of the competition, Shang Jinjun and his wife started to take the bus early in the morning, sat for more than ten hours, changed buses several times, and returned to Shi Yanping Village in the mountains to witness their daughter's first Olympic Games with the villagers.
Not only businessmen themselves are full of confidence, but also villagers are full of confidence.
On that day, the village with only 696 people was very lively. The villagers put on national costumes that can only be worn on festivals, carrying bamboo baskets and drums.
When the reporter entered the village, he saw a big red banner hanging on the diaojiao building, which read: "The villagers of Shi Yanping Village wish Shang good results in the Olympic Games."
The team competition did achieve good results, but in the individual competition, only 0. 1 made it a pity to win the fourth place. Passing the medals made Shang feel exhausted.
Both commentators said: "I have played my best, but I still lost to the referee."
Not only she, but also the coach and the audience feel that the score can actually be higher than it is now.
Because she finished the individual competition very well, even better than the team competition. But the score is decided by the referee, and there is nothing others can do.
She said: "Because it is really close to the medal score. If the score gap is particularly large, I will not be so sad. "
On the Internet, someone said that "Rio still owes a medal". Although I seem to be in the wind, I said I would go back to my hometown to see, but how can I not feel sorry?
But before this regret can be made up, the blow will come soon.
September 20 17, the most serious mistake in her gymnastics career occurred in the gymnastics competition of the 13th National Games. Her floor exercise won the prize because she was too nervous and often made mistakes.
Finally, she finished her gymnastics career in tears with the eighth place in the final. After two years of retirement, 2 1 year-old Shang has fallen into an unprecedented loss.
At a loss, she even sent a message to Weibo late at night, announcing her retirement. The picture shows several suitcases at the entrance of the General Administration of Sport. Compared with her former glory, this Weibo looks so bleak.
Frustration again and again, efforts again and again, expectations again and again. Now, with the regret of not getting an Olympic medal and the self-blame of continuous mistakes in the competition before retiring, everyone can't help but regret that this pine tree finally failed to withstand the destruction, and her climb is over.
But in the past two years, businessmen have not given up.
She realized that her love for gymnastics could not be abandoned. To everyone's surprise, she embarked on a new journey when her age was no longer suitable.
In the spin-off program of Rio 20 16 Olympic Games, Jiang Yuyuan, a former gymnastics Olympic champion, casually said, "If you can really compete in 20021,then I will definitely come and cheer for you. Can you polish it for four years? "
At this time, Shang Songchun smiled sweetly and answered her in a childish tone: "Yes!"
Then things didn't go so well.
As for Shang Songchun, there are always disturbances. Whether Rio 16 missed the medal or she made a serious mistake in 17, she even sent a message to Weibo to give up.
After two years of retirement, everyone thought they had given up. 202 1 National Games, at the age of 25, she arrived as scheduled and became the "old age" in gymnastics.
Gymnastics is to eat a "youth meal". As you get older, you will fall behind young athletes in physical fitness.
But she hasn't given up, because she is strict with herself and her physical condition is still up to standard. Moreover, the standard of action and the stability of mentality during the game have become the backbone of teammates.
Teammate said: "We all say that Sister Song Chun is a fairy in our team."
In an interview with the National Games, Shang Songchun said: "My idol is Chusovitina, and I will try to look up to her."
Chusovitina and Shang have many similar fates. When she was young, she also struggled for her family and kept competing to treat her son with leukemia.
When it comes to Chusovitina, her eyes are shining and she carefully organizes the language: "Then when she is older, she can still stick to her favorite career. I think I can stick to the Olympic gold medal. "
The 202 1 competition has come to an end, but the climbing is still going on. Like her name, Song Chun-a lukewarm spring breeze, as tough as pine.
Spring breeze brings warmth to people, just like Shang Song Chun never complains about his hard conditions, but warms others with his own strength, and he will keep in mind the good things of others.
20 16 Rio Olympic games regrets missing medals. In the interview, she talked about the player who comforted her and hugged her by the balance beam. "At that time, I felt that this warmth was actually the biggest touch and gain for me to participate in the competition."
Pine trees in the mountains never complain about the harsh environment surrounded by rocks, but grow from the cracks in the stones, persevere and stand at the peak forever.
Shang is also such a pine tree. No matter whether she comes from a mountain village, her family is poor, or she has been repeatedly frustrated in the competition, she has never been defeated.
She is still standing on the stage of gymnastics and her life, with infinite vitality.
