Unlike his father, who used to coach in an ice skating club, Joey himself was not much interested in ice skating, he was more interested in money and investment. In his first year in Russia, because professional ice skating training was very expensive, Joy did not allow Xiang Hongzhe to participate in professional ice skating training. Zhang Chen paused, his eyes were far away as if he fell into memory: "Joey, he is actually not a bad person, when I went to Russia for an interview, he also collected a lot of photos of Xiang Hongzhe's competition when he was a child, and when it came to Xiang Hongzhe's appearance in the World Championships, he was obviously very happy, and when he talked about Xiang Hongzhe's car accident, he cried very sadly, at that time, a Russian man who was nearly two meters tall and as strong as a bear cried loudly because of a car accident photo, I still remember the scene." Taking a sip of water, he continued: "When Joey knew that he could win prize money by participating in ice skating competitions through Guò, he spent a lot of money to invite professional ice skating instructors to train Xiang Hongzhe. Different from China, ice skating in Russia is very prosperous, the mechanism of ice skating clubs and ice skating competitions is also very perfect, and a large number of ice skating talents have emerged, among which Xiang Hongzhe is also a leader. In the two years between the age of 9 and 10, he participated in a total of 143 competitions and won 117 championships, which should be very eye-catching, and you can look up the name 'Viktor Ivanov' when you have the chance, and there should be a record of the competition on the Internet. ”

"This is not ......." Wang Chengjue, who is very familiar with ice skating, has obviously heard of this name.

"The Russians call it 'Angel of the East', and Xiang Hongzhe's later nickname comes from this."

"So the Russian legend of ice skating is him?" Wang Chengjue's mouth opened in shock: "Why did Viktor Ivanov become Xiang Hongzhe?" ”

"Li Shixu, the boss of the Freezing Point Ice Skating Club, found him when he visited Wèn in Russia, and discussed with Ivan at that time to bring him back to China."

"Ivan will agree? Will the Russian side agree? Cui Qi asked more.

Zhang Chen shook his head: "If you don't agree, you have to agree." At that time, China's ice skating was rapidly emerging, but in the professional ice skating world, especially in the men's singles individual skating, there was still a lack of world-class players who were expected to win medals, and the emergence of Xiang Hongzhe was hope. ”

"Why? Xiang Hongzhe should be very likely to become the world's No. 1 ice skater, right? Why would the Russian side agree? ”

"They had to agree. At the beginning, Ivan refused, and the Russian Sports Association sent someone to directly tease and say that he didn't even think about it! There was a joke in the circle at that time, saying that Mr. Li, who was freezing, wanted to be bald day and night in order to take Xiang Hongzhe back. ”

"And then?"

"You wouldn't have thought of it, in the end it was the Germanic Embassy that helped solve this problem," Zhang Chen still wanted to laugh now: "The clerk of the Germanic Embassy found that when Xiang Hongzhe transferred his nationality, the manager of the year wrote his name by a letter wrong, and under the activities of the □□ Embassy, Xiang Hongzhe's Russian nationality was revoked, and as a result, his nationality returned to Germania, and before the Russians could react, Li Shixu hurriedly went to the Germanic Embassy to transfer Xiang Hongzhe's nationality back to □□, In view of the fact that Edward Schöne had no relatives left, and Xiang Hongzhe was underage, and his blood relatives were all □□, the Germans quickly agreed to wait for the Russians to report layer by layer, wait for the other party's sports association to know, and then wait for Ivan to be notified, and the matter was settled. ”

Hearing the whole thing, Cui Qi and Wang Chengjue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then he went to Freezing Point and a month later he was selected for the national team, and then it was the things that were often reported in the news."

"Uncle Zhang, why haven't these stories been reported before?"

Zhang Chen shook his head when he asked this question: "Think about it, my country's first figure skater to win a medal was trained abroad since he was a child, and he was still a Germanic in the past, can this matter be accepted by everyone?" ”

"It's nothing!" For a moment, Wang Chengjue was indeed a little regretful, but unfortunately Xiang Hongzhe was not a native figure skater, but in the face of Xiang Hongzhe's brilliant record, he felt that it didn't matter.

"People now, their ideas are quite mild, and people at that time were more radical and more extreme," Zhang Chen shook his head: "And the bigger problem is Xiang Hongzhe himself." ”

Xiang Hongzhe, who had been thinking about Xiang Hongzhe from the mouths of others, suddenly heard Zhang Chen talk about himself, and Cui Qi instantly sat up straight.

"After reading his news, you will find that the media have a variety of evaluations of him, but one thing is certain, Xiang Hongzhe on the ice pool has a very strong sense of self-existence, but when he gets out of the ice pool, he is almost like a transparent person, he talks very little, and often hides himself."

For a while, Cui Qi thought that this hiding was really hidden.

"It's not really hidden, it's the kind of hiding in the shadow of others, trying to shrink his own storage zài smaller, even after becoming famous, his appearance has not changed, you can see if you look at his interviews, there are fewer reporters, he is more gentle to him, he is also gentle, and when there are many reporters, when he is particularly strong, his whole person is easy to become impatient, and for example, when there is an interview subject who is more concerned than him, the whole person will relax when he answers, and when everyone pays attention to him, he was very nervous. ”

"Why?"

Zhang Chen did not answer directly: "When the national team trains, it is generally one person and one ice pool, which will not be used, but at the freezing point, it is basically several people who share an ice pool for training." Xiang Hongzhe has a great characteristic when he is freezing, he is very domineering, and he is very domineering, and he prohibits others from entering this space when he stands on the ice pool. You also know that his skating is very aggressive, and now there is still the name Xiang Hongzhe Strange Circle in the circle, after watching his performance, other athletes, especially those whose skills are not mature and his level are very different, will unconsciously imitate, to imitate him, he will lead his original movements to deform for a long time, it will be difficult to change. ”

For a moment, it seemed that lightning flashed through his mind, and Cui Qi caught something but quickly slipped away from his mind, and he frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Uncle Zhang, Xiang Hongzhe's car accident has been so many years now, has no one written a biography except you?"

"How could it not be," Zhang Chen smiled dumbly: "It's just that the information before his national team is too difficult to find, and many of the parties have passed away, I only knew some clues because I was an exclusive reporter in ice skating back then, and it took more than 100 trips for Russian Germain to accumulate so much information, and it was even more difficult for others." Zhang Chen said with some regret: "Xiang Hongzhe was offered to the altar, and the more brilliant it is, the easier it is to hide the darkness." ”

He sighed and continued: "Actually, I personally think that Xiang Hongzhe should have psychological problems, the stage and the stage are too extreme, I have been reporting in the past two years in the hope of reading the psychological examination results of Xiang Hongzhe's national team, but unfortunately it has been rejected." ”

Wang Chengjue and Cui Qi glanced at each other and looked at each other.

"How do you think...... Does he have psychological problems? ”

"It's also my personal guess, I think he is a very insecure person, I have had several opportunities to interview him himself before, on the ice pool, the absolute king, as soon as he gets off the ice pool, the whole person will be ethereal, when I ask questions, several times his eyes will drift to the assistant's side, a few answers are even bull's head is not the horse's mouth, and finally the assistant answered on his behalf. Another time, I remember that after he won the Olympic silver medal, when he came off the podium, he was completely empty, no matter what the reporter asked, he was silent, I had a feeling at the time, this person didn't seem to exist here. ”

Zhang Chen's words were like lightning splitting the clouds, Cui Qi suddenly woke up from the confusion, and the image of Xiang Hongzhe became more and more vivid in front of him.

"What was his life like in Germain? What about language? Can he speak Chinese abroad as a child? Cui couldn't wait to find out more.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chen shook his head: "His life in Germain is no longer examinable, the two parties have died, no one knows what happened in Germain, the only thing that is certain is that Edward Schöne has cultivated him into an ice skating genius." After a moment's hesitation, he answered the second question: "It is said that Edward Schelln's Chinese is very good, Xiang Hongzhe himself is a native speaker of Chinese, he is very fluent in Russian, and according to Ivan, he can only speak some simple German." However, Zhang Chen could not provide more details.

"Before, Coach Chen Jiong said that he 'felt as if he was pursuing something higher'," Cui Qi frowned and said with some hesitation, "but now I think ....... is either something higher, or ...... It should be the simplest, what he has been pursuing, very ordinary, or more ......pure" He closed his mouth and was silent for a long time, thinking about how to describe it, Zhang Chen and Wang Chengjue did not speak, and waited for him quietly.

"I don't know......" I couldn't think of it, Cui Qi was a little discouraged.

Wang Chengjue and Cui Qi brought a lot of accidents to Zhang Chen, although they are still young, they obviously know a lot about the character of Xiang Hongzhe, and when they heard Cui Qi's analysis, he glanced at Cui Qi unexpectedly, thought about it seriously, and nodded: "I think it may be...... Place. ”

All the fog lifted, and Cui Qi's eyes were incredible, but soon he felt that this was the most correct answer.

Abandoned by his family, his caregiver died, and he traveled in a strange country, all he had was ice skating. This time, the two images in my mind, the absolute king on the ice pool and the small transparency that usually has a low sense of zài, gradually merged together, this is Xiang Hongzhe. Because this is the only place he has to stand, he strongly wants to take this place for himself, with a strong sense of exclusivity and aggression, and makes this place his with the most amazing performance.
