Parents work in Anhui, and their sons suffer. They pick up bottles and sell them on campus.
1999, 9-year-old Long Qingquan was attracted by Gan Zhiyue, coach of Xiangxi Sports School, and entered the weightlifting hall of Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture Sports School. Under the careful guidance of the coach, Qingquan trained harder and made rapid progress. In 2000, Xiao qingquan participated in the 9th Xiangxi Games, but at that time his weight was only 32.5 kg. There is no opponent of the same level, and he was disqualified because he could not reach the minimum weight of 38 kilograms. The leader and coach, considering Qingquan's achievements, made an exception and let him take part in the 38kg class test, which achieved good results and won a medal.
It is this special medal that has increased Xiao Qingquan's confidence and courage and given him a strong motivation to win real medals in the future. In August, 2004, he won three gold medals in snatch, clean and jerk and total score in the men's 48kg class in the 10th Xiangxi Games.
With the gradual decline of business and family income, in 2002, Long Qingquan's parents went out to work in a brick factory in Jingxian County, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province, with a monthly salary of only 1000 yuan. In order to reduce the living expenses, they grow their own vegetables and raise chickens, which is very frugal. Qingquan is also very sensible. During his training and study in the National Weightlifting Base, he only asked his parents for 250 yuan every month, of which the minimum living expenses were 180 yuan, plus the pocket money of 1 yuan per day. Qingquan always undertakes the cleaning of the training ground, collects mineral water bottles thrown by everyone, and sells them as waste bags to subsidize petty expenses when there is a certain amount. To this end, Long Guangwu has always felt ashamed and felt that "he has not been given better conditions."
In Longshan County, Long Qingquan (second row medal holder) is with his first coach Xiang and his teammates.
Provincial capital training costs are high, and counties actively lend a helping hand.
In 2006, parents who worked outside for four years went home for the New Year. I got off the phone with coach Gan Zhiyue and learned that my son had been sent to the provincial weightlifting center for training a few months ago. Long Guangwu suddenly became stupid: "What happened to the living expenses?" Gan played a joke on him: "where do you want a son?" I have never been to see him! Qingquan has long been our son, and we will find a way to pay for him. "
My son didn't go home for the New Year because of training. Qingquan called home from the provincial team to give good news to his parents, and told his family to pay 900 yuan to the provincial team every month, which is unbearable for families with a monthly income of only 1000 yuan. Long Guangwu is really worried that he can't let his son abandon school because of poverty. When the county sports bureau learned about Long Qingquan's family difficulties, Cai Longhui, director of the county sports bureau, and Shi, director of the state sports bureau, took Long Qingquan as a one-on-one funding object and paid most of the living expenses. As long as 300 yuan is borne by the family, it will solve the worries of him and his family, so that Long Qingquan can train with peace of mind.
Wuhan accidentally cried and told her mother that Chongqing won the championship and reported her father.
Long Qingquan knew that the opportunity of training in the provincial team was hard-won, so he trained harder. In 2002, Long Qingquan won the men's group C 38kg champion in the 9th Hunan Games. In September, 2006, Hunan Province participated in the men's 52kg class competition in the 10th Sports Meeting. He struggled hard and finally won the gold medal with a total score of 255kg, 40kg higher than the second place. Long Qingquan also became a member of Hunan weightlifting team.
On June 5438+ 10, 2007, when Long Qingquan participated in the 6th National Urban Games held in Wuhan, he failed in snatch three times because of his mental burden, and withdrew from the men's 56kg championship early. Long Qingquan has a habit of basically not calling home before the game, but telling his parents about the situation after the game. At this time, depressed, he dialed his mother's phone and didn't speak for a few minutes. Her mother guessed the reason and always comforted him: "Son, you must be strong! There are plenty of opportunities in the future. You can't make a hard time with yourself just because you didn't win once ... "
Soon, Long Qingquan regained his spirits. A week later, in the national men's weightlifting championship held in Chongqing, he fought bravely with 16 56 kg players from all provinces, cities and countries in China. He won two gold medals, the snatch 65,438+030 kg, the clean and jerk 65,438+056 kg and the total score of 286 kg. After the game, Long Qingquan passed the good news to his parents, and his father happily said to him, "Congratulations, son!"! You still have to work hard, there are still many competitions waiting for you, and you have to sprint to the Olympic champion! "
Beijing elevator Olympic Road, parents return home to watch the live broadcast.
On April 20th, 2008, the national men's weightlifting championship and the Beijing Olympic trials were held in Quanzhou, Fujian. In the men's 56kg final, Long Qingquan unexpectedly defeated the most popular Guangxi star Li to win the championship, which added confidence to the China weightlifting team to win the gold medal in the Beijing Olympic Games.
Almost at the same time, the media announced that in the weightlifting event of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, China teenager Long Qingquan became the youngest male athlete in the event, and the weightlifting competition will be held in Beihang Gymnasium from August 9 to 19, attracting about 26 1 athletes from 88 countries and regions. Among them, Long Qingquan, aged 19, is the youngest male player, and he will compete for the 56kg gold medal on behalf of China.
With the approaching of the Beijing Olympic Games, Qingquan called her parents and hoped that they would go home and watch their live broadcast of the Olympic Games. However, Long Guangwu has just moved to a new factory, earning about 3,000 yuan a month. The factory has just opened, and he is reluctant to let go. The boss was even more reluctant to let Long Guangwu and Xie Zuying leave, saying that he would organize employees to watch the game together. However, the Longjia couple, who had made up their minds, declined the boss's kindness and returned to Longshan on August 3.
Long Qingquan, a young man from Longshan, Xiangxi, the only player who represented China in the men's 56kg class, finally stood on the podium of the Olympic Games, the pinnacle of human sports, and wore a glittering gold medal.
"Show the world, show the future" is the QQ signature of this child under 18. This signature hasn't changed since he was selected for the Olympic list.
