Crush the United Kingdom, Russia and the United States

Just yesterday, the country came out to appeal not to let Popular celebrity entertainment gossip dominates the hot searches.

What should really be on the hot search list are the heroes who truly win glory for the country

Below are their stories

01

August 28, Beijing time, was the fourth competition day of the Tokyo Paralympic Games. The Chinese team had another perfect performance. Although one gold medal and one silver medal were cancelled, But on this competition day, the Chinese Paralympic athletes moved forward bravely and won 11 gold medals in one go! As a result, in just 4 days, the total number of gold medals won by the Chinese Paralympic team has exceeded 30! Gold, silver, and copper all exceeded 20.

The atmosphere is very different from the East Olympics. There are no media with varying qualifications rushing to report the news, and many mainstream websites do not have dedicated event sections.

Someone said online:

"I really , a little heartbroken

I really want to watch them play, and there should be many people who want to watch too. ”

This sentence inexplicably brought me to tears.

On the first day of the Paralympic Games, five people won precious gold medals for China.

Their names are: Li Hao, Feng Yanke, Bian Jing, Tan Shumei, and Zhang Li.

On the highest stage of glory, there was endless applause.

The Paralympic Games is not only a contest between athletes and their opponents, but also a contest between them and themselves.

There are also some people who win the respect of everyone just by fighting hard on the court.

Their stories should be known to more people.

02

Li Hao won China’s first Paralympic gold medal this time , in the Class A final of the men's wheelchair fencing saber individual competition, defeated the opponent 15:12.

This is China’s first gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics.

Li Hao, who was born in 1994, had his leg amputated due to a car accident when he was 2 years old.

Started engaging in wheelchair fencing training in 2014, and joined the Shanghai Wheelchair Fencing Team in May 2015 and has been there ever since.

Facing his opponent on the court, the Ukrainian player Manko is ranked two places higher than himself in the world.

Li Hao continued to chase points and finally overtook his opponent.

Few people know that when Li Hao first came into contact with formal sports training, he was actually practicing swimming.

However, due to the gap between his basic skills and other team members, and the neuralgia caused by a leg injury in his right leg, the huge psychological gap caused him to almost give up his sports career during the 2014 rating.

It was also at that time that his Bole came.

The fencing coach liked his physical ability, so Li Hao switched from swimming training to fencing.

"I'm really happy. My son has worked hard. When you come back, I'll cook local dishes for you."

03

When the long jump event becomes a single-leg jump, is it difficult for you to imagine such a scene? ?

A Chinese did it and broke the world record by winning three consecutive championships in 1996, 2000 and 2004.

This person’s name is Hou Bin.

In the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, with a final jump of 1.77 meters, Hou Bin conquered the world with one leg.

On the way to Athens before the game, Hou Bin's prosthetic leg became loose due to weight loss during the game.

When the train was speeding, Hou Bin stumbled and fell to the floor. His prosthetic limb completely detached, and his head hit the corner of the dining table and continued to bleed.

The competition was about to begin and he could not take anesthesia, so Hou Bin could only endure it and had four stitches.

At the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games, he used his hands to lift himself nearly 40 meters into the air and lit the Olympic flame.

That was a moment he would never forget. Every step of his sweat was engraved with great glory.

04

A blind girl proved that you can run free even if you lose your sight.

In the women's 400-meter final of the Rio Paralympic Games, Liu Cuiqing and leader Xu Donglin ran together with their hands tied.

Finally won the championship.

Without 100% trust in each other, no one dares to run freely in the dark world.

Liu Cuiqing completely entrusted her safety to Xu Donglin.

She said that if she could see it, she would like to be the first to see the leader who has led her for eight years.

05

The Chinese team won the 300th place since participating in the Paralympic Games in 1984. A gold medal comes from Zhao Xu.

In the T46 100-meter final of the London Paralympic Games, he was the only one who had to start standing.

This way of starting will undoubtedly be slow, but Zhao Xu used his impeccable distance to withstand the powerful sprint of the Cuban players behind him and crossed the finish line first.

11.05 seconds, breaking the men's 100m championship world record.

Everyone knows that Su Bingtian set an Asian record in the 100-meter run at the Tokyo Olympics this year, bringing glory to the country and making the whole country excited.

But in fact, as early as 2012, there was also a person who risked his own life for the honor of China.

Ten years of dedication have broken the long-term "monopoly" of foreigners in this event.

06

China also competes with one leg and two legs. The girl Zeng Sini.

Bicycle race, the opponent is an Australian athlete.

Just when the opponent was leading all the way and the audience felt that the result was no suspense, a miracle happened——

Zeng Sini alone My legs kicked hard, slowly closing the gap.

After 2000 meters, Zeng Sini achieved a lead!

To everyone's shock, Zeng Sini won the gold medal.

Before this game, everyone was questioning,

How can one leg compare with two legs?

After this game, Zeng Sini’s hard pursuit gave the world a brand new answer.

07

Zheng Tao, who lost his arms due to electric shock when he was a child, is from Kunming, Yunnan rural area.

In 2016, he made the name "Armless Flying Fish" spread by word of mouth.

Does it hurt to start off with a towel in your mouth and bang your head towards the finish line?

This is what Zheng Tao looks like when swimming.

Zheng Tao won the gold medal in the men's S6 100-meter backstroke competition at the Brazilian Paralympic Games.

His high-spirited look made people forget that he was a special swimmer.

In fact, swimming is the event that most exposes the physical imperfections.

It takes great courage to take off the covering that can be covered up and fully reveal the incomplete parts.

This is actually not his first time participating in the Paralympics. In 2012, he also won a gold medal for China.

This year, he is also on the list of the Chinese Paralympic team.

In the men's and women's 4 50-meter mixed freestyle relay, Zheng Tao, Zhang Li, Yuan Weiyi, and Lu Dong set a new world record and won the gold medal with a time of 2 minutes, 15 seconds and 49 seconds. .

Come on, our armless flying fish!

08

On the table tennis court, both sleeves The empty Ibrahim Hamato stood in front of his opponent without fear.

Ibrahim Hamato was a craftsman in Damietta, Egypt. He lost both arms in a train accident when he was 10 years old.

But who said that without arms, you lose the qualification to play table tennis?

With his passion and determination not to admit defeat, he became the only Paralympic athlete to play table tennis with his mouth.

"I want to prove to everyone that I can play a sport."

After losing his arms, Ibrahim Hamato did not leave his house for a whole year.

After regaining the courage to face life, he tried to run, but fell down repeatedly because of his poor balance.

He never thought that one day he would become the world table tennis champion.

But he just did it.

In 1986, he began to try to play table tennis with his mouth.

It was not until 2015 that this skill was truly developed enough to be used on the world stage.

For nearly 30 years, Ibrahim Hamato has devoted himself to table tennis.

Hold the racket in your mouth and serve with your feet to hit the ball.

Malone, who later played against him, said, "It's unbelievable, he played very well."

Without both arms, his legs must be strong enough to support him in completing difficult movements.

At the same time, it also needs to be coordinated with the rapid movement of the neck and the strong biting ability of the teeth.

His only way to win is to score as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, you will be exhausted.

After 30 years of sharpening a sword, I have become what I am today.

Rather than speaking out of love for table tennis, I believe that this is him fighting against fate.

Trying to break out a window in a world without doors.

09

Whether it is Ibrahim Hamato who plays ball with his mouth , Zeng Sini who rides on one leg, Zheng Tao, the "armless flying fish"...

The contestants in the Paralympic Games all compete with themselves with bare hands.

They are not supermen but they can fly.

Even if they risk their lives, they will leave themselves a glorious ending.

They don’t need sympathy and pity, but they always lack applause and encouragement.

Zhang Li, who won the women’s 200m gold medal on the first day of the competition

Suffers from congenital cerebral palsy and has difficulty moving below the waist

Anne Wafula Strike, who represented Kenya in the 2004 Athens Paralympics, once said,

“Yes. For me, sports have given me a rebirth. ”

For ordinary athletes, sports are a competitive career.

For Paralympic athletes, it’s a rebirth.

When you feel desperate, please think of these incredibly resilient athletes.

Their stories of struggling to "burn" themselves may also inspire you in your frustrated life.

If you persist, there is hope.
