July 30, morning.

Last night's heat has not yet faded, and it has been superimposed by the heat of this morning, which makes the temperature rise a few points.

Working people come out of their homes complaining about a terrible late summer day, the tinkling of bicycles echoing through the streets and listlessness, and the whole city seems to be enveloped in this heatwave.

Xu Fei woke up Chen Xiaoqiao early, and after breakfast, he rode the rented broken three-wheeler to Xidan. The boy snuggled up in the car in a daze, with a hundred T-shirts and a few large pieces of cardboard as his companions.

The small courtyard house is near Andingmen in Dongcheng District, and in another 30 years, the house price here will range from 60,000 to 120,000 yuan.

He pedaled the car, walked along the street outside Andingmen, and soon arrived at Ditan Park, and when he passed the door, he crunched and braked, "Hey, what are those people doing?"

Chen Xiaoqiao glanced at it casually, and said casually: "Practice qigong!"

"Qigong?"

Xu Fei blinked, and saw more than a dozen uncles and aunts on the lawn at the door, posing in all kinds of strange poses. Some of them crossed their steps, leaning forward with their arms outstretched, some sitting cross-legged with their heads raised and muttering words in their mouths, and some of them simply lay on the ground and turned on their sides, not knowing whether they were asleep or stupid......

"This is called Arhat Gong, and it is said that if you usually imitate Arhat, you can protect your body with luck. My teacher still has a few more to practice, and the uncle next door to our family also learns. ”

"And your grandmother is learning?"

"My grandmother looks down on these people the most, saying that they are all stupid!"

Tsk, it's worthy of my admiration, there's a layer!

Xu Fei was amazed, it turned out that the qigong craze started so early, he didn't know much about it, and he always thought that it only arose in the mid-to-late eighties. If you have a chance, you really want to get in touch with it.,See what kind of demons and monsters are there.。

The distance was not close, and at about eight o'clock, the two arrived at Xidan Shopping Mall.

In this year, there are three business districts in the capital, Wangfujing, Dashilar and Xidan. Xidan takes a large shopping mall as the core, and then includes peripheral stores, such as Hebanmuyuan Food Store, Fu Hanchen Dental Pavilion, Wanguo Barber Shop, Sheng Xifu Hat Shop, Zhixing Bookstore and so on.

People who have a little spare money love to come here, one is relatively clean, and the other is complete. Around this realm, buy a thing, get a haircut, watch a movie, and make a tooth sacrifice...... That sense of happiness is not much worse than it is now.

Before the mall opened, cars were parked at the door, and there was a pedestrian bridge on the side of the road. This bridge is very famous and is the memory of many old people.

Xu Fei observed the flow of people and decided to put the stall on the overpass. First, put a few pieces of cardboard on the stall, put a few T-shirts on it, and a hanger next to it, also hanging a few pieces.

The first time Chen Xiaoqiao did this, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, "Brother, can we sell it?"

"I can't sell it. ”

"Huh?" the boy was stunned.

"Hah!"

Xu Fei patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then pointed down, "Go buy dozens of newspapers." ”

"What?"

"If you want to go, you can go, and you will be clever in a while. ”

..................

In the 80s, when literature was booming, all kinds of books and periodicals were published, and newspapers were also varied. But they are all retail investors, supporting bed boards, building shelves, and selling newspapers, magazines and used books everywhere.

It was only in the 90s that the government coordinated with the postal department to set up special newsstands with "postal newspapers" printed on them.

So it's all stalls, and there's even a newsboy, carrying a broken schoolbag, dividing the area, and earning a few cents a day. Children are clever and skilled in business, and they know when there is a lot of traffic and when they can rest.

After half past eight, as the mall opened, there were suddenly many more people in Xidan. These little radish heads also began to move, burrowing around in them, shouting desperately at the top of their voices:

"Outside!

"China won the Olympic gold medal for the first time, and China won the Olympic gold medal for the first time!"

Airplanes!

This cry was like throwing a stone into a lake, causing ripples. People were originally here to visit the mall, but when they heard it, they were stunned, and a young man took the lead and said, "Child, give me a copy!"

"One is not easy to change, let's ...... two together"

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, give me two copies!"

He took a copy of "People's Daily" and a copy of "Sports Newspaper", first read "Sports Newspaper", the first two big characters on it, extra!

Then accompanied by a picture, a Chinese athlete with slightly curly hair and a round face stands on the podium in a fiery red tracksuit, holding flowers in his right hand.

And what he hangs around his neck is a heavy gold medal!

The Athletic newspaper has less content and may not have much information. The young man hurriedly swept it, only to feel that his heart was as itchy as a cat scratch, and he felt that there was a fire burning in the depths of his heart, and he could not release his depression.

He hurriedly turned to the most authoritative newspaper in China, which was much more detailed:

"On July 29, 1984, the Prado Shooting Range in Los Angeles became a historic location. And Xu Haifeng also became a resounding name on this day!

————

The 27-year-old stood on the No. 40 target, wearing a red sweatshirt, sky blue sweatpants, and two big Chinese characters printed on his chest.

According to the competition schedule, the first gold medal event to be decided at this Olympics is the men's self-pistol slow fire. The game has reached its most critical moment, ten rounds of ammunition in the sixth group.

In the first three shots of this group, Xu Haifeng actually scored 6, 7, and 8 rings, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and suddenly became extremely unfavorable to him. He fired four more bullets, but didn't seem to find his senses yet.

Xu Haifeng stood quietly on the target position, with only three bullets left, but he just didn't see him raise his gun to shoot......"

The young man poked in the endless crowd, motionless, clutching the newspaper tightly, his fingers trembling slightly, and reading lightly in his mouth. And around him, more and more similar people stopped.

"One minute, two minutes, three minutes, time slipped away little by little, and it was getting closer and closer to the end of the game, but Xu Haifeng still stood on the target like a stone statue.

Everyone began to get anxious, and the coach of the Chinese team quietly gathered behind him, sweating in his palms.

14 minutes passed.

I saw Xu Haifeng slowly raise his head, adjust his breathing, and raise the gun in his hand.

9 rings!

Good result, there was a low commotion in the stands.

10 rings!

The coach behind him unconsciously wiped his forehead, he knew very well that Sweden's Scanaker and Wang Yifu had already fired all the bullets, and temporarily ranked first and second with 565 rings and 564 rings.

At this time, Xu Haifeng's result is 556 rings, that is, if the next shot is ten rings, the Chinese will achieve a breakthrough of zero!

The 60th shot, the last shot, many even closed their eyes.

10 rings!

A big 10-ring imprint on the target!

Every compatriot at the scene was cheering, and the coach and team leader ran up and hugged him tightly...... When presenting the award, Samaranch held Xu Haifeng's hand tightly and said: This is a great day in Chinese history!

Attached to it is a commentary, "A Historic Breakthrough".

"In 1932, the 10th Olympic Games were held in Los Angeles, USA. 23-year-old Liu Changchun competed alone and became the first person in my country to participate in the Olympics.

In 1952, the 15th Olympic Games were held in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. It opened on 19 July, and my country had received the invitation the night before. A 40-member delegation formed on the 23rd set off on the 25th and arrived in Finland on the 29th.

The competition has been started for many days, and only Wu Chuanyu participated in the 100-meter backstroke preliminaries and failed to qualify. However, for the first time, the five-star red flag list fluttered over the Olympic stadium and the host city!

On October 25, 1979, the IOC Executive Board passed a resolution in RB Nagoya restoring the People's Republic of China's rightful seat in the IOC.

And on July 29, 1984, on this day, the Chinese achieved a breakthrough of zero Olympic gold medals, and Xu Haifeng finally turned the Chinese's pursuit of the Olympic dream for more than half a century into reality!

In the Olympic arena, which attracted worldwide attention, our national anthem was finally played!"

Rumble!

The fire in the young man's heart was finally completely released, and he was greedy, hungry, rereading every word and paying attention to every photo of the scene

That ordinary and great athlete, the heavy Olympic gold medal that seems to shine through the black and white lead letters, and the two big China and the flaming red red flag!

He raised his head again and looked at every compatriot with the newspaper in his hand, and those who knew and did not know each other were clearly imprinted with each other's excitement and blood boiling.

"Give me a copy!"

"Give me a copy!"

"No, no!"

The huge Xidan business district seems to have fallen into stillness for a moment, and then erupted in another moment, surging, flowing, and infecting everyone.

In this era, it has been suppressed for too long, and in this era, there is too much thirst for glory and self-confidence.

The newspapers in the stalls everywhere have long been sold out, but the stall owners who have no newspapers to sell are also clapping their hands and shouting:

China won the Olympic gold medal for the first time!"

"Xu Haifeng broke the record with one shot!"

"We are not the sick man of East Asia!"

............

Xu Fei really didn't expect that he would also be infected by this atmosphere, as if he had erased the gap between the times and become a member of the moment.

He looked at it for a while before wiping the corners of his eyes, "Let's go!"

"It's coming!"

Chen Xiaoqiao didn't feel deeply, only took out a second-hand loudspeaker, and shouted according to the lines practiced in advance: "Let's take a look, the manufacturer's special Olympic cultural shirt, only this one has no other branches, there are also preferential blessing activities, free newspapers, come and take a look!"

It is the time when there are the most people in the west, and the flyover is even more crowded. The stall is already eye-catching, and this shout, Hulala surrounded the three layers inside and the three layers outside.

A young couple just walked up, squeezed in to take a look, and was immediately attracted by the big painting.

"Hey, this painting is so beautiful!"

"Nice, indeed, atmospheric!"

I saw a painting made of a few pieces of cardboard, with a bright red background, Tiananmen Square was half exposed, and it was full of brilliance, with the words "Cheer for the Olympics!"

There is also a blank piece of cardboard, the purpose of which is unknown.

Looking at the clothes again, it seems to be a T-shirt from the south, but the style is more delicate, with a five rings printed on it, and the words "Los Angeles, 1984", and a sentence at the top:

"Cheer for China, cheer for the athletes!"

There is no emblem, because it has not been announced when it is done, and there is no first shot and zero breakthrough, so it will become an unpredictable prophet!

The girl liked it and asked, "How much does it cost?"

"23 bucks. ”

For a T-shirt, it's a bit expensive, but it's not unacceptable, and a long-sleeved top with a good fabric is also more than 20 yuan.

She was about to negotiate the price, and then heard Xu Fei say: "We have a preferential activity, do you see the cardboard over there?" As long as you write a sentence for the Olympic blessings, we will discount it on the spot, 20 yuan a piece!"

"If you write it, you will get a discount?" the girl's eyes lit up.

"Yes, if you write it, you can get a discount, you can write anything. ”

"Then I'll come!"

The girl suddenly stopped being entangled, and walked to the blank cardboard, "What am I writing?"

"You just write about China, come on. The boyfriend said.

"That's too monotonous......"

She pondered for a moment, clapped her hands, and said: "I write about the old and change the new look, and strive for the new era; you write about the many strange ambitions of Olympic athletes to win glory for the motherland." ”

Two young people, who looked like college students, picked up a brush and wrote two lines of words, the font was beautiful and generous, and it was particularly conspicuous on the cardboard.

The girl paid 40 yuan on the spot, Chen Xiaoqiao almost didn't throw it away, she had never taken so much money in her life, and hurriedly handed over two white cartons.

"And the packaging?"

When the girl opened the carton, she saw that the T-shirt was flat and neat, and she was also carefully folded, and she was immediately satisfied. She was already wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but she had a cool personality, so she took it out and put it on the spot.

I am "cheer for China, cheer for the athletes!"

The boyfriend is, "China is rising!"

Those who come to Xidan to shop have a little spare money, coupled with this wave of craze, everyone is excited, and they are all moved, "I want one too." ”

"I want two. ”

"I'm going to rise that one!"

"I want two women's clothes, and the design of this dress is quite good. ”

When selling something, you have to make customers feel that they are taking advantage of it, and you have to have a sense of participation...... At the moment, there are more and more people buying, and there are problems after buying, and they don't know what to write in front of the cardboard, and they are more shy.

"What do you write?"

"I haven't figured it out yet, what are you going to write?"

"I didn't think about it either. ”

"Hey, let me do it!"

A young man with glasses squeezed over, grabbed the brush and wrote, everyone looked at it, oh, it was still the first limerick!

"At this time, the glory of the country is played.

Merry people are rewarded today, leaving a legend for eternity!"

"Good!"

The atmosphere instantly became enthusiastic and cheered in unison. Driven by this, others are no longer hypocritical, more and more open, ancient poems, modern poems, excerpts of original everything up, there is a guy who did more than 100 words, it is actually a short comment, and there is a signature at the end.

For the sake of Xu Fei's conservatism, he only took a hundred pieces, but he took them away in waves, and sold more than half of them in two hours. Later, I didn't leave after I bought it, I just stood by and watched the excitement, watching what others wrote.

"Why do I have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land so much......"

"The hat of the sick man of East Asia, we took it off!"

"Rise up!"

An ordinary piece of white cardboard has become a low-profile version of BBS, and those who have nowhere to vent after watching the news have finally found an outlet. There was a serious congestion on the overpass, and the passers-by were dissatisfied, so they stopped when they looked at it.

After half a day's work, the sun has not yet risen to the head, and a hundred pieces are announced to be sold out!
