Chapter 127: Igniting New Hope (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On the podium, Chen Qiang stood in the middle, with a happy face, and kept waving to the audience.
On the left and right are two American athletes, although they also have medals around their necks, but they look like they are not smiling.
This scene made many people feel déjà vu.
A spectator suddenly said: "Yesterday's medal ceremony for the 100-meter dash was like this. The champion is also this Chinese. ”
"What the hell happened to our American team, we lost to this Chinese for two days in a row."
"Yes, the 100-meter dash and the long jump are both strong events for our American team, but they all lost their gold medals."
Many viewers began to complain, and they were obviously very dissatisfied with the performance of the American team. If this were the Olympics in another country, it would be fine, and the Americans would have lost gold in a strong event, and the Americans would have been out of sight and out of mind. However, this is the Olympic Games held in the United States, and as a result, the American team has lost gold in its own strong events one after another, and the American people are naturally very dissatisfied.
"I don't think we can blame our athletes, they did their best, after all, the opponents are too strong. That Chinese, yesterday broke the world record in the 100-meter sprint, and today broke the world record in the long jump, and in the face of a new world record, it is normal to lose the competition. Others defended the players of the American team.
However, the people next to him did not agree with his statement: "Even Chinese can break world records, why can't we Americans?" ”
Someone else said something cool: "Didn't we American athletes break the 200-meter world record today?" As a result, after only a few minutes, the 200-meter world record was taken away by the Chinese! ”
Although every time the Olympics are held, it is shouted that friendship comes first and competition comes second, but competitive sports still speak by results, and if the results are good, they will be praised by the whole world, and if the results are not good, it is normal to be ridiculed by the whole world.
That evening, the organizers of the Los Angeles Olympics held a social dance.
Social balls are also a traditional event in the Olympic Games, and at that time, formal dress was required to participate in the Olympic ball, so Chen Qiang specially customized a tuxedo for use in the prom before coming to Los Angeles.
In this era, the Olympic ball was really a very normal social event, and the men were as polite as gentlemen, and the ladies were as elegant and generous as the ladies. However, the future Olympic ball will gradually become a place for male and female athletes to seek excitement, and it is estimated that dozens of kilograms of condoms can be found in the bins the next day.
Getting back to the point, wearing a tuxedo made Chen Qiang a little uncomfortable, making him feel like a superhero wearing a cape. However, all men wore it like this, and Chen Qiang soon didn't care about the tail behind him.
Chen Qiang's strong performance on the field in the past two days has made him the star of the ball, and Chen Qiang himself can speak English, so he looks very popular among athletes from various countries and IOC officials.
As the leader of the Japanese team, Kishi Kiyoichi naturally participated in this dance, and at this time, he saw Chen Qiang's long-sleeved and good dancing, and his heart suddenly panicked.
Chinese athletes are recognized by the international community, which is the last thing Kishi wants to see. He does not want to see Chinese athletes have more influence on the international stage, nor does he want to see China have more say.
In Japan's next strategy, it intends to push the puppet "Manchukuo" to the international community, and once the international community recognizes the puppet "Manchukuo" as an independent sovereign state, then Japan's act of sending troops to the northeast cannot be regarded as aggression, but becomes liberation! This is also a conspiracy that the Japanese have been planning.
Of course, it is impossible for the puppet "Manchukuo" to be recognized by the international community in a short period of time, so allowing the puppet "Manchukuo" to participate in some international activities with a weak political background will be an important way to win international recognition.
Like the ICRC, like the World Health Organization, like the Olympiad!
The political factors of this kind of organization are relatively weakened, and they are all under the banner of charity, friendship, and peace, and the threshold for participation is relatively low, which is also an important step for the puppet "Manchukuo" to gain international recognition.
It is precisely for this reason that Kishi Qingyi does not want to see Chinese athletes perform well in the Olympic Games, let alone see Chen Qiang make good connections on such international occasions.
Especially when Chen Qiang was talking and laughing with those IOC officials, Kishi Qingyi couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, and the worried emotions were all written on his face.
Kishi Kishi knew very well that once the Chinese had a relatively high influence in the IOC, the plan of the puppet "Manchukuo" to participate in the Olympic Games would become impossible.
The Olympic Games are nothing more than two functions, to enhance national self-confidence internally and expand national influence externally. For those Japanese invaders, they do not want to enhance the national self-confidence of the Chinese, let alone expand China's national influence.
……
At the same time as the Olympic dance began, the news that Chen Qiang won the long jump championship with a record-breaking result also spread throughout the United States on the radio.
Of course, the Americans shouted a pity for losing the gold medal in the long jump, but the most surprising thing for the Americans was that the gold medal was taken away by Chinese athletes, and the world record in the long jump was broken!
This once again subverts Americans' perception of Chinese.
In the eyes of Americans, China is a poor and backward place, a place that has not been illuminated by modern civilization. The Chinese, on the other hand, are an uncivilized, barbarian-like people. Moreover, modern China has always been invaded and oppressed by foreign powers, and the image of the "sick man of East Asia" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of Americans.
However, the news that Chen Qiang defeated two American players again and won the gold medal suddenly made many American people realize that China may not be the legendary "sick man of East Asia"!
In the 100-meter sprint, the best athletes in the United States lost to Chen Qiang, and in the long jump event, the best athletes in the United States also lost to Chen Qiang, so it seems that the performance of American athletes is not as good as that of Chinese athletes, if Chinese are considered "sick men of East Asia", then what are Americans?
What's more, Chen Qiang also broke the world records in the 100-meter dash and long jump. If the fastest runner and the farthest jumper in the world are to be called "sick men", then wouldn't people in other countries be considered completely unsuccessful?
That's right, it's all over! The 100-meter sprint has a half-body failure, and the long jump has another half-body failure, which adds up to exactly one "whole body".
Sitting at his own dining table, the auto worker John listened to the radio report and couldn't help but curse: "The American media always spread some false news, the Chinese are not as weak as the media say, and they took away a gold medal in the long jump from the American team today!" How do I think now, the Chinese are stronger than those blacks! ”
Next to him, John's wife also spoke: "I have long heard Mrs. Smith say that those guys in Chinatown are not easy to mess with, and if you meet Chinese people in the future, don't provoke them!" ”
Similar conversations have taken place in countless American homes.
In two days, Chen Qiang took away two very important Olympic gold medals. In the eyes of many American people, although China is still a weak country bullied by foreign powers, the Chinese have thrown off the hat of "the sick man of East Asia"!
……
Shanghai, a prosperous area within the French Concession, resounded with the shouts of newspaper boys.
"Look at the newspaper, read the newspaper, Chen Qiang won the Olympic gold medal again!"
"Look at the newspaper, my country's athlete Chen Qiang broke the world record twice in one day!"
"Big win! Chen Qiang broke the Japanese long jump world record! ”
The major newspapers in Shanghai once again published the news that Chen Qiang won the gold medal in the long jump.
Yesterday, the newspaper just reported that Chen Qiang won the gold medal in the 100-meter sprint, and the heat of this topic has not dissipated, and it is the news that ordinary people often talk about after dinner. Now the news that Chen Qiang has won another gold medal is like adding fuel to the fire, burning rapidly.
In the whole of Shanghai, whether it is high-ranking officials and nobles, wealthy businessmen, ordinary people, and even foreigners in the concession, they are all talking about Chen Qiang. If there was a search engine at that time, this would definitely be instantly topped to the top of the hot search.
Several major newspapers such as "Declaration" and "News" were all sold out on this day, but whenever the newsboy shouted the news that Chen Qiang had won the championship, the newspapers would soon be sold out.
Originally, when two ordinary people met, they probably asked, "Have you eaten?" Now that the two ordinary people meet, the first game they ask is definitely "Do you know that Chen Qiang won the gold medal?" ”
……
Tianjin.
Guan Wuye came to the teahouse with a bird cage, and the guy immediately came up to entertain him.
Guan Wuye was also a regular customer, he threw a few bounties to his buddy, and at the same time asked, "Is there anything new today?" ”
"Back to the fifth master, there is really a new thing today!" The guy paused, and then said: "Our Tianjin Jian Chen won the gold medal in the Olin competition held by the foreigners!" ”
"Nonsense, this is something new, I knew it yesterday!" Guan Wuye snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Fifth Master, yesterday was yesterday, and today is today." The guy smiled slightly, and then said: "Jian Chen won a gold medal yesterday, but today he won another gold medal!" ”
"What did you say?" Guan Wuye suddenly lifted his spirits.
"Yesterday's gold medal came by running, and today's long jump came, and I also heard that Chen Jian will break some record again, and now he is the farthest jumper in the world!"
"The farthest jump? That's amazing! Guan Wuye opened his mouth and exclaimed.
The guy continued: "The most important thing is that the farthest jump before was a Japanese, and this time Chen Jian will defeat that Japanese and win the gold medal!" ”
"Won the Japanese, good job!" Guan Wuye slapped his thigh happily!
"Fifth master, why don't I go buy you a newspaper, and you can drink tea while reading slowly?" The man asked.
"Yes, go buy me a newspaper, buy a few more, the more detailed the better!" Guan Wuye took out a few cents and handed it to the guy.
"Okay! Don't worry, I'll buy you a thick one! The man took the money and walked out happily.
For Guan Wuye, Chen Qiang won another gold medal, which is certainly exciting, but he is more concerned about Chen Qiang's victory over the Japanese!
……
Chinese Martial Arts Association, the firecrackers that were deflated in front of the door, the old man Zhang Zhankui took out the new clothes from yesterday again, put them on his body, and ushered in the delivery.
This time is different from yesterday, the old man not only prepared tea, but also prepared a variety of snacks, all the martial arts people who came to Daohe, all of them ate and drank, and when it was close to noon, the old man also specially instructed the chef to leave a few more familiar national artists to eat.
In order to gain popularity, the old man also spent money.
At Nankai University, Zhang Boling was absent from work, and he did not go to school that morning, but slept at home until noon before getting up.
Yesterday's Zhang Boling was so happy, he drank a lot of wine, and he was really drunk. As a result, I slept until noon, and the hangover finally woke me up.
Zhang Boling washed her face, got dressed, and was just about to go to school, but before anyone went out, Zhang Xihu hurriedly ran in.
"Dad, Chen Qiang won another gold medal!"
Perhaps due to a hangover, Zhang Boling's mind was not very clear, and he did not hear the word "again", but only heard the "gold medal".
"I got the gold medal yesterday, what are you shouting about now!" Zhang Boling said.
"Dad, yesterday was the 100-meter dash, and today is the long jump! And this time, Chen Qiang won against a Japanese athlete and broke the world record in the long jump! Zhang Xihu said and handed a newspaper to Zhang Boling.
Zhang Boling took the newspaper, looked at it carefully, and his expression suddenly froze, and then he read it several times in a row.
"I remember that Chen Qiang saw the Japanese athlete Nanfang Zhongping breaking the world record in the long jump, so he had to practice the long jump, but I didn't expect that he really defeated the Southern Zhongping! Good job, raise the prestige of our country! Zhang Boling's face instantly showed an excited expression.
Zhang Boling knows that the significance behind this Olympic gold medal in the long jump event may be even greater than yesterday's gold medal in the 100-meter sprint.
The gold medal in the 100-meter dash is the first Olympic gold medal won by Chinese, and it is the first time that China has fought on the top of the world in the sports arena.
The gold medal in the long jump broke the world record in the long jump held by Japanese athletes, which was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Chinese at that time!
This shot of cardiotonic came too timely!
……
In the Ministry of Education, several directors quarreled more fiercely than yesterday in order to compete for merit!
Yesterday was just an Olympic gold medal, everyone has already fought for sabre-rattling, and today there is a second gold medal, such a credit, how can it not fight for a head and blood!
It doesn't matter what kind of comradeship, what official's image, it doesn't matter, stop the credit on yourself, and then get promoted and get rich, that's the most important thing!
For the sake of merit, it doesn't matter if you point to your colleague's nose and scold your mother, as long as you can promote the official, then when these colleagues see themselves in the future, they must not say "despicable" one by one, and they must not grovel!
Who told the officials to crush people to death!
……
In the northeast, in an inaccessible village outside the city of Jinzhou.
In the room, a young warrior let out a scream and then fainted.
"The bullet has been taken out, whether it can hold it up next depends on whether Lord Yama accepts him or not!" The man tossed a bullet aside, and began to be bandaged by the young warrior.
"Huzi, you must hold on, I promised your mother that I would take good care of you, and after two years, I will drive away Little Japan, and I will have to marry you a daughter-in-law!" A big man next to him said to the young man in a coma.
After settling the young man, the big man withdrew from the room, and outside, several warriors with guns were sitting cross-legged on the ground, all wounded, as if they had just gone through a battle.
"Boss, if it goes on like this, it's not a way, the Japanese send a large team of people to search the mountains every day, and we are not people's opponents at all! You see, we fought this battle with the Japanese, not to mention the two brothers, Huzi is now uncertain! One spoke
"Yes, boss, the Japanese are well-armed, they have machine guns and mortars, I heard that there are tanks and planes, these guys in our hands are not opponents of the Japanese at all! The Japanese are coming, we can only run into the deep mountains and old forests, it's summer now, it's okay to say, but if we wait until winter, the snow covers the mountain, let's run towards the mountains again, it will be a dead end! Even if you don't get killed by the Japanese, you will have to freeze to death and starve to death! The other spoke.
"So what do you think we should do?" The big man asked.
"Boss, in the current situation, Zhang Shaoshuai is afraid that he will not be able to fight back, the fat of the Northeast has fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and they can still spit it out! Sooner or later, the Northeast will become like Korea and be completely annexed by the Japanese. I think we might as well surrender to the Japanese! Didn't the Japanese leaflet say that as long as we are willing to surrender, all the high-ranking officials will be available! ”
"The Japanese are so powerful, and Zhang Shaoshuai's hundreds of thousands of Northeast Army have not all fled, just a few of us, and they are really not people's opponents. This Northeast is already the territory of the Japanese, if we go to Toucheng now, we can at least mix up an official and a half-job, it is better than starving to death in this deep mountain and old forest! The other spoke up.
The big man had no words, he didn't want to be a lackey of the Japanese in his heart, but he also had to admit that his two brothers were right, those Japanese were really strong!
Especially after fighting the Japanese today and suffering heavy losses, the reality made him realize the strength of the Japanese soldiers.
Every time he thinks of his dead brothers, the "sudden" flames of the Japanese machine guns, and the explosion of Japanese mortar shells in his ears, these painful memories are constantly wearing down his will to resist and tearing the hope in his heart.
"Or will it fall?" This idea came to the mind of the big man for the first time.
"Wouldn't that mean you will be scolded as a traitor? How can my dignified Chinese betray the country for glory, how can I betray my ancestors and forget my ancestors! The big man was conflicted.
At this moment, a person rushed outside.
"The stone is back!" Someone immediately greeted him and asked eagerly, "How is it, have you bought the wound medicine?" ”
Shi nodded, took out a few paper packets, and said, "I bought it, the best gold sore medicine, you can stop the bleeding when you put it on." In addition, I also bought two packets of Chinese medicine, saying that it can replenish blood and qi. ”
"Great, with this gold sore medicine, Huzi can be saved!" The big man with a smile on his face.
"By the way, boss, I also got this, the newspaper from Kannai, and the flyer!" The stone took out a few more pieces of paper and handed them to the big man.
The big man took the newspaper and the leaflet and looked at it carefully.
"Boss, is there any new news in Kannai?" The man next to him asked.
"Our Chinese athletes have won a game!" The big man spoke.
"Winning a game is nothing! No matter how many games you win, you can't take back the Northeast! It's better to fight with little Japan with real knives and guns! One said disdainfully.
"This time it was different, he not only won the game, but also the Japanese!" The big man paused, and then said: "It is said that the person who jumped the farthest in the world before was a Japanese, and now the farthest person in the world is us Chinese!" ”
Speaking of this, the big man took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly: "Now you know, right? We Chinese, not only are we not worse than Little Japan, but we are stronger than Little Japan! We Chinese athletes can defeat Little Japan on the field, and those of us with guns will definitely be able to defeat Little Japan on the battlefield! ”
"Those little Japan are just better than us with weapons, if we really compare their bodies and abilities, they will definitely be inferior to us Chinese!" Even if winter comes, we won't be able to bear it then, and little Japan will not be able to bear it, if it really snows heavily and the mountains are closed, those little Japan will still come to search the mountains? Don't freeze them to death yet! ”
"Brothers, we must persevere, this is our home, it is the land left to us by our ancestors, and we must not give it to Little Japan! If we really vote for Japan and become traitors, not to mention that the common people have to poke our backbones and scold, even after we die, we will not have the face to see our ancestors! ”
At this moment, the firm will to resist regained in the heart of this big man, and the flame of hope rekindled in his heart!
……
In Beiping, students in exile in the northeast took to the streets, and they celebrated with a parade.
For these students who have lost their homes and left their hometowns, Chen Qiang broke the long jump world record held by Zhongping in the south, which has a different meaning.
The humiliation after the "918" incident and the pain of losing one's homeland, at this moment, finally have some response!
Although victory at the Olympics could not drive away the invaders and regain the lost homeland, it was emotionally uplifting. This insignificant victory on the field can even make these Northeast students who have been exiled to Peking feel a long-lost sense of happiness.
Since coming to Beiping, one bad news after another has made these exiled students in Northeast China constantly fall into depression and inferiority. They even had a suspicion: Is it true that the Chinese are inferior to the Japanese, and that the great China deserves to be invaded and divided?
Some people gradually start to become numb and start to accept all this. The hope of regaining their homeland is getting slimmer and slimmer, and the idea of resistance is getting weaker and weaker, and some people even choose to return to the Northeast, return to their hometowns, and be "obedient people" at the feet of the Japanese!
It was at this time that Chen Qiang sent a shot of heart booster!
For these exiled students in the Northeast, they really need this shot of strength, although this is not a victory on the battlefield, but it can make them feel that there is still hope for this country and this nation! There are still people fighting for this country!
If an athlete can defeat the Japanese in the sports arena, then what reason do they, who have been robbed of their homeland, surrender!
Don't let frustration and failure wear down your will, hold on!
Keep fighting with hope!
