He Xiaohua, who has only recently used an electric wheelchair, is driving to his friend Zhang Yuan's home at the highest speed of this electric wheelchair.

He Xiaohua, who is just 13 years old this year, has a father who is a local village official and has a small village-run business (as if engaged in a transportation company, there are several trucks running in the city). In this county, it is considered to live in a wealthy family. However, when He Xiaohua was 11 years old, his parents discovered that their son was suffering from moderate to high thalassemia (commonly known as β thalassemia major). Because his condition has been deteriorating, now, He Xiaohua is already approaching the advanced stage of his condition...

But his parents didn't let him know his true illness, and at the same time, he also dropped out of school and hired a tutor, so whenever he was free, He Xiaohua would find his best brother, Zhang Yuan, a classmate in the kindergarten, and go to play together.

They are all Hakka people from Heping County, Guangdong Province, Heping County, a small mountain town in northern Guangdong with beautiful mountains and rivers. Now, at 7 a.m. on Sunday, May 18, 2008, He Xiaohua made an appointment with Zhang Yuan to watch today's bicycle race.

Time: Sunday, May 18, 2010 at 8:00 a.m

Venue: Dongdi Road, Heping County, Guangdong Province

Race Name: The First Heping County Bicycle Race in Guangdong Province

Hundreds of athletes from Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, led by public security motorcycles that opened the road, participated in the city's highway and mountain road cross-country races...

In the same year as He Xiaohua, Zhang Yuan, who is also thirteen years old, is a county junior high school student this year, studying in the second grade. His daily means of transportation is the traditional large buffalo bicycle. His friends and classmates had heard him say that this big buffalo bicycle seemed to be the only gift his grandfather left him.

Zhang Yuan is a very ordinary junior high school boy, with a square face, because of the family's work as a farmer (with rice and vegetables as the main source of income), every day of farming, so that he is exposed to the sun every day, he is dressed in bronzed skin, it seems, it is indeed a very sunny teenager, many female classmates like to say: Zhang Yuan is like a shrunken version (some people say it is an ugly version) of Gu Tianle.

Since his grandfather loved him the most since he was a child, since his grandfather passed away, the only memory left for him is this big buffalo bicycle. Therefore, since Zhang Yuan can walk, he likes the activity of cycling. Although he is only 13 years old, he has much more cycling experience than the average adult.

Since he was three years old, Zhang Yuan has been playing with four-wheeled bicycles; By the age of five, he started playing with three wheels, and by the age of seven, he was playing with two-wheeled second-hand bikes (probably small BMX bikes made by hammering together parts of six or seven old bikes). At the age of nine, Zhang Yuan had the physical strength to engage in farming, and until he was now thirteen, he used the only gift left to him by his grandfather - a large buffalo bicycle.

For the interest and understanding of bicycles, Zhang Yuan and his good brother He Xiaohua can be regarded as equal. They are born with a knack for assembling, dismantling and replacing parts, and with one or two shows of them and the tools they can use, they can assemble small BMX bikes properly and safely. The two brothers have already equipped a large number of bicycles for the children in the village, and have earned them their first 100 yuan.

Since both brothers are very fond of cycling, they prefer to participate in various bicycle competitions, and even join the school team to represent the school in cycling competitions. Unfortunately, the school doesn't have a cycling team, let alone the possibility of racing...

Suddenly, something terrible happened to He Xiaohua, who was found to be suffering from thalassemia. Therefore, in the past two years, He Xiaohua has been in a wheelchair, but he has never given up his ideals, and he has still been studying everything about bicycles. So, Heping County has its first bicycle race, so how could these two guys miss the opportunity?

Besides, Zhang Yuan, since he was a child, because he was farming and walking in the mountains to work, Zhang Yuan's upper and lower leg muscles are particularly developed. When Zhang Yuanwei was in elementary school, the members of the school's football team called him "Mighty King Kong Legs". At the same time, he is also a regular athlete of the school's track and field team, a participant in the city's school track and field competitions, and a top athlete in the "top three". However, like He Xiaohua, he only likes bicycles, and likes its chic and free feeling of galloping in the wind, as free as flying.

For Zhang Yuan, the bicycle has more feelings for missing his grandfather and a complex for his good brother in illness, He Xiaohua.

Today, peaceful bicycle races take place mainly on the main roads in the city and on the hillside roads in the suburbs. On the way, you will pass by rape fields in the mountains, and there are bicycle paths in the flower fields, which were also built for this competition. Of course, in Heping County, located in the mountainous area of southern Guangdong Province, bicycle riders must have the qualifications (experience) and physical fitness to climb mountains and mountains.

Bicycles, it is with this unique taste that Zhang Yuan and He Xiaohua like and are fascinated.

Back at the competition venue, Zhang Yuan saw the cyclists running forward, and at that moment, he had a fantasy and impulse, he wanted to participate in this race, and hoped that he would wear the yellow jersey of the champion, and even more recklessly, he would get today's championship.

Fantasy is how he would use his cycling skills to cross more experienced opponents than he would if he were one of them.

Every time he sees a bicycle race, whether it is watching it live or watching a TV program, Zhang Yuan thinks in his heart that the bicycle race is more ambitious than the track and field competition and the football game. However, Zhang Yuan's greatest wish in life is to win the world's most exciting and difficult bicycle championship, which is the Tour de France.

Zhang Yuan imagined himself wearing a champion yellow cycling jersey and carrying a bottle of French champagne ready to be sprayed to win the Tour de France.

Champion, Champion, Champion, Zhang Yuan screamed three times, a bit of vernacular mixed with Hakka English, and the people nearby were looking at this stupid boy, not knowing what he was calling?

The weird eyes and a very sweet girlish voice "card" made Zhang Yuan and He Xiaohua look back, so beautiful and cute, a sporty beautiful girl with such a temperament.

She wears a professional helmet for bicycle racing and professional sports sunglasses, and is a stylish and confident girl cyclist.

This cute beautiful girl was making fun of the silliness of the two of them, and when Zhang Yuan looked at her, in addition to being in a daze, his heart was also shocked, and he actually said: You are really beautiful... Unexpectedly... Still a cyclist. The beautiful girl's body, also riding a professional bicycle for competition, this is a carbon fiber professional bicycle for competition using PRYDE, such a handsome boy, in terms of height, he is at least half a head taller than Zhang Yuan, and his age is estimated to be 14-15 years old!

He wears a tight-fitting camouflage green tracksuit, which accentuates his unusually strong muscles and body shape. He, but he just watched the game, completely ignoring what the beautiful girl next to him was doing... Zhang Yuan felt his eyes, just staring at the road (arena) and the players, but his heart was calm and relaxed.

He's a little familiar, as if you've seen him there? Like on TV? Or on a web page? No... None of them...

He Xiaohua said: I remember, my Uncle Zhang in Hong Kong, brought several bicycle magazines last time, and the cover of one of them was his appearance. Zhang Yuan immediately came back to his senses, and then said: I remember, his name is 'Wang Baoshou' or something... It seems like?... It doesn't seem to be the name.

He Xiaohua said: You are wrong, Ah Yuan, he seems to be called Wang Fu.

He seems to be the youngest record holder for the Hong Kong Junior Cyclocross Race. Yes, he is Huangfu Tao, it turns out that "he is really tall and stylish, Zhong is beautiful and good COOL TIM".

Zhang Yuan glanced at Huang Futao, and his heart folded in real time... He Xiaohua looked at Huang Futao, and he was very jealous at first glance, and the more he looked at it, the more jealous he became... Such a beautiful beautiful girl accompanies you, and you actually ignore her completely, you are really hateful!

Perhaps, Zhang Yuan's face was nervous, but he didn't have any expression, only a daze, which was indeed a little cute, making people around him make fun of his stupid appearance. Most people are thinking: just look at an ordinary bicycle race, kids, you don't have to be so fanatical!

However, no one knows that Zhang Yuan's competitive heart for bicycle racing has been burning since he was five years old, and this heart has never been able to stop for a moment... Even when Zhang Yuan stood in the championship position on the track and field, when he received the gold medal in the football competition, Zhang Yuan still imagined that he was on the podium next to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France.

Zhang Yuan wore the highest glory yellow suit, received the trophy, held champagne in both hands, and sprayed it in all directions... He Xiaohua said: Hey, silly boy, let's go! (Zhang Yuan has a lot of daydreams, and if he wants to wake up, he has to rely on other people's voices to wake up).

After the end of this bicycle race in the urban area, the traffic police also removed the barricades on the main road, Zhang Yuan, who was driving a big buffalo, and He Xiaohua, who was sitting in an electric wheelchair, chatted about the highlights just now, while talking about the beautiful girl wearing a bicycle sportswear.

They are guessing that the beautiful girl is definitely not from a peaceful area, and it is impossible for her to be from Shaoguan and Qingyuan, it may be from Guangzhou, or it may be from Dongguan, Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Zhuhai... But Huang Futao is a Hong Kong driver, and most likely, she is a beautiful girl from Hong Kong.

The day of the bicycle race was Sunday, and Zhang Yuan was not working; He Xiaohua didn't have cram classes either, and the two boring boys were wandering around on the road. After watching the bike race, and still having a lot of free time, they decided that they might as well take a look around.

Suddenly, they all saw a few stylish bicycles driving across the road, and of course, a few bicycle riders who were riding slowly, heading to a new neighborhood together...

"It's better to follow them", the two brothers knew each other's meaning at a glance. A few minutes later, in front of the street shop in a new neighborhood, there were many different kinds of bicycles.

The so-called difference is not only the ordinary big buffalo and BMX, but also the racing bike, as for the quality, there are aluminum alloy, stainless steel, and even, there are ultra-light racing bikes with carbon fiber.

Oh my God! Why didn't anyone tell Zhang Yuan and He Xiaohua? In vain... In vain they claim that the hair of their feet can be found in every corner of the "peaceful zone", alas! This time, the two brothers really failed.

It turned out that there was such a good thing in the Heping area, and it had been open for more than half a year, and they didn't even know about it. The name of this bicycle shop is very special, it is called "the strongest bicycle shop" (Cantonese people call bicycles bicycles), and the products and services are also very diverse.

For tourists, there is a daily rental service; For local students, there are simple and cheap student bikes for sale; For amateur bicycle enthusiasts, there are second-hand racing cars and self-assembly services available; However, they didn't write about professional and professional bicycle sales, He Xiaohua was thinking? Why not?

However, the store's lighting spotlights, which focused on the star-class cross-country road race bike, made them addicted. Zhang Yuan and He Xiaohua have been watching, and they feel itchy, but this off-road Japanese rhinoceros brand imported bicycle costs more than 80,000 yuan a bicycle.

It's the two melons just now, and now they're in a daze again!

From a male voice, a very authentic Cantonese voice. "It's those two fools again", and then a sweet female voice appeared again, how could Zhang Yuan forget this sweet voice! It is... When I was just watching the game on the road, I looked at the beautiful girl's voice on the race bicycle on the road (He Xiaohua has not forgotten?).

Huang Futao and the beautiful girl's bicycle were driving into the front of the "strongest bicycle shop" and stopped, only Huang Futao got out of the car and walked into the store. Zhang Yuan, who had been squatting down and looking at the super bicycle of the "strongest bicycle shop", when he saw Huang Futao and the beautiful girl's bicycle clearly, Zhang Yuan had a pair of thief eyes, just staring at Huang Futao's bicycle, and occasionally looked at (staring) at the beautiful girl...

The beautiful girl seemed to feel that Zhang Yuan's fiery gaze was staring at her face, and she occasionally looked back in the direction where her gaze came, Zhang He and the two of them had never seen it, and they couldn't believe it at all, such a beautiful girl was also a strong man who had the courage to stare directly into their eyes and fight back!

There was a person standing behind Zhang Yuan and He Xiaohua, and his throat suddenly made a strange sound "Hey", "I hope it's enough, pretty boy" (have you seen enough, young handsome guy). It was a male voice who spoke fluent Cantonese again, "Is it good to tie up the meaning of the field?" If you are not interested, try to play a few turns, and by the way, you will have some valuable advice" (whether you like this bike very much, or try to ride it for a while, and then give me some advice).

Zhang Yuanbo nodded without hesitation, and unconsciously straightened his head and neck and said: Those configurations... It's amazing, it's all the designated brand of the Olympic Games... Hard hats, gloves, sunglasses, knee pads, etc... Zhang Yuan used these world-class professional equipment for the first time, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Perhaps, he was born to be a pro at cross-country cycling!

Even.. He is the ultimate emperor in the future World Series...

When the proprietress of the bicycle shop brought him equipment, Zhang Yuanzui showed a smile, even a smirk, and his eyes were shining at the same time...

Wow... Zhang Yuan felt that the bicycle was so light and comfortable, and the balance point and the borrowing point were particularly easy to master. The proprietress saw Zhang Yuan's first test drive of an off-road race bike in her life, and 15 minutes later, Zhang Yuanchi drove back to the front of the store.

His first sentence actually said: Boss, can I learn from you to be your apprentice? This sentence also startled He Xiaohua, but if it weren't for his thalassemia that caused him to be in a wheelchair now, he would have said the same thing directly to the proprietress in the same way.

The proprietress smiled and said: You don't even know what my surname is, how do you know that I want you to be an apprentice?

Zhang Yuan was dumb again, this... This is a question that the stammering will not answer.

The proprietress said: Silly boy, let me tell you, my husband's name is Huang Qiang, you can call me Mrs. Huang, you can also call me the boss, our store does not accept apprentices, we just sell bicycles, we don't need you to do chores as a child laborer, and you shouldn't have any ability to be my apprentice, right?

Zhang Yuan replied: I have good foot strength, and I am hard-working...

I believe it is the boss Huang Qiang, standing next to Mrs. Huang and interjecting: The dozens of big buffaloes in the rape field on the side of the mountain are better than you, more hard-working, and don't eat meat and only grass, do I want to ask them to be my apprentices? You can't even compare to a big buffalo, so you might as well go home and study hard, haha! But... If you want to learn something from me, show off what you have first!

He Xiaohua said: I think, you send someone to compete with my brother in the short race, we use the same model of big buffalo bicycle, with a 300-meter straight road to fight fast, how about it?

When Huang Qiang saw Zhang Yuan's eager look, he knew that this young man must have some ability and experience in short-distance cycling races. But Huang Qiang was not afraid, and readily agreed, using the opponent's best buffalo bicycle to carry out this race.

Huang Qiang's wife was already waiting at the finish line 300 meters away, Huang Futao, and the beautiful girl were also watching at the scene!

The sound of the mouth tells the start of the race, and the person who blows the mouth is a clerk of this bicycle shop, who seems to be named Xiao Wu, about 20 years old.

At the moment before the race, two people (competitors Zhang Yuan and Huang Qiang), two big buffalo bicycles stood on the same starting line, but Zhang Yuan said to Huang Qiang: Boss Huang, if I fail, I will become your apprentice and learn bicycle skills from you...

Huang Qiang scolded in his heart: I don't know how many stupid boys in the world are Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons, you want to be my apprentice with your virtue, teach you today, what is the sky outside the sky? Huang Qiang said very lightly: I'll talk about it when you die!

3, 2, 1, the mouth sounded, the race began, Zhang Yuan's big buffalo immediately rushed towards the finish line 300 meters away like a galloping horse. But what about Huang Qiang? He was also riding a big buffalo, he was stationary, staring at Zhang Yuan, I don't know what he was thinking... Suddenly, the speed of a leopard running a short distance was catching up.

In the last 70 meters, two big buffaloes were tied,

In the last 30 meters, Huang Qiang's big buffalo has been ahead of Zhang Yuan's half of the parking space.

At the end of the line, Huang Qiang's big buffalo crossed the finish line in the whole wheel, and Zhang Yuan's big buffalo had just touched the finish line.

"There is no suspense at all", the beautiful girl's gentle summary deeply hurt the self-esteem of Zhang Yuan and He Xiaohua. Because, Zhang Yuan thought that speed has always been his strong point, and it should be said that it is the only strength, but he didn't expect that his opponent would be so strong.

Huang Qiang, this middle-aged man may not be faster than me when he runs on his feet, but why is his acceleration so frightening compared to my velocity when he uses his bicycle? Huang Qiang looked at Zhang Yuan, who looked lost, and said: Stupid boy in a daze, have you taken it?
