Chapter 209: Returning Home

2 September 2004.

After walking out of the conference hall of the General Administration of Sports of China, Ye Qin couldn't help but let out a long breath, the atmosphere of sitting in the conference hall made people really feel depressed.

The Chinese sports delegation returned home with honors, and the Chinese team climbed to second place with 32 gold medals against Russia, creating the best result since the previous Olympic Games.

At the commendation meeting of the Chinese sports delegation of the 28th Olympic Games just now, although Ye Qin did not have a medal in hand, he was still commended by name as the first sprinter to enter the men's 200-meter final of the Olympic Games.

"Ye Qin, the next delegation is going to Xiangjiang and Haojiang, don't you really plan to go together?"

Yu Weili patted Ye Qin on the shoulder, took him out of the General Bureau, and watched the members of the various teams walking back and forth along the way, and asked Ye Qin with a smile.

"I still don't need it, I don't even have a medal, it's so boring." Ye Qin shook his head and refused.

Since the year before the return of Hong Kong in 96, after each Olympic Games, the national team will organize a delegation of Olympic gold medal athletes to visit Hong Kong and Macao, each time for 6 days, Hong Kong and Macao for 3 days each, the athletes will participate in the cultural performances in the Xiangjiang Haojiang area, carry out wonderful and interesting demonstration performances, and interact with Hong Kong citizens to convey the Olympic spirit.

The governments of the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions (SAR) also attach great importance to the arrival of the Olympic delegation, and every time the delegation visits, the chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will personally meet with the delegation and hold a welcome banquet, and even the chief executive will personally go to the airport to greet the Olympic delegation.

There are two meanings in this: one is that the delegation visited Hong Kong and Macao at the invitation of the two SAR governments and the Olympic Committee. Secondly, after each visit by the Hong Kong and Macao delegations, the head of the delegation would mention that the purpose of the visit was to "report on the concern and support of Hong Kong and Macao compatriots for the sports undertakings and athletes in the mainland, and to share the glory and joy of the Olympic Games with Hong Kong and Macao compatriots".

Since the 80s of the last century, a group of patriots from Hong Kong and Macao have made great contributions to the development of domestic sports, such as the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the "Huo Yingdong Sports Fund" awarded 2.4 million US dollars to Chinese athletes.

"Then forget it."

Yu Weili saw Ye Qin's refusal, and nodded. After returning to China, Yu Weili once mentioned to Ye Qin, although Ye Qin did not have a medal in hand, but as the first player to stand in the men's sprint final, the national men's 200-meter record holder, he still received a lot of attention at home and abroad.

If Ye Qin wants to go to this member of the delegation to visit Hong Kong and Macao, he, the deputy head coach of the track and field team, will still have a good chance of getting it.

After all, for an athlete, such an opportunity is rare and can be regarded as a moment of glory.

However, Ye Qin is indeed right, although Ye Qin is a huge breakthrough for men's sprinting, but the team is full of Olympic champions, and they will be a little uncomfortable.

Even if in Weili's view, Ye Qin, the sixth place in the Olympic Games, is more worthy of special mention than the champion of some events, but the essence of competitive sports is like this, and so is the focus of public attention.

"So are you going to go home first, or what?"

Skipping this topic, Yu Weili then asked Ye Qin.

In the past few days, the entire Olympic team, the champions must have been very busy, giving interviews, appearing on TV, interviewing, etc., but the other athletes did not ask for it, and after the commendation meeting, they could go back to their local teams or start training again.

"I'm going to go to school first." Ye Qin raised his head and looked at Yu Weili, "School has started, I have to report back to school." ”

"Uh......" Hearing Ye Qin talk about school, Yu Weili was stunned at first, and then reacted, although the teenager in front of him has made an unprecedented breakthrough in the men's sprint event on the Olympic stage, he is not a professional athlete, and in the second semester of September this year, he is only a senior in high school.

"Okay, I'll go back and arrange it for you, you see if you go home first or go back to school first, since the World Youth Championships in July, you haven't rested, just take advantage of this time to make a good adjustment, and I'll call you when the time comes."

……

Xiushui.

Wen Tongshi looked at the convoy that drove out of the school gate and gradually moved away, put down his arm that waved goodbye, rubbed his facial muscles that were a little stiff with a smile, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Wen Xiao, this is already the fourth batch of people!"

Yan Ning stood aside, also looking at the departing convoy, frowning slightly.

"It's the fifth batch, just a few days ago the school just registered, and the city TV station came over to do interviews, but the school just signed up at that time, and it was too late to entertain."

Before Wen Tongshi could answer, Song Yechun, the teaching director next to him, grinned and pulled the tie on his shirt, with a little pain and happiness on his face.

"When Ye Qin returns to school, we will still have to be busy at that time, and we have to think of a way, if this continues, our teaching work will not be able to be carried out."

Wen Tongshi patted his forehead, which was similar to Song Yechun's expression, with a smile on his face and a little sadness.

After the Athens Olympics, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School became famous.

Although it may not be famous in the whole country, in Haixi Province, in Nanxiu City, especially in the system, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School can be said to have suddenly become famous and has become the object of study in many key high schools.

From the Municipal Sports Bureau to the Education Bureau, as well as the end high schools in various places, people who interviewed, condoled, and studied came over and over again. In addition, needless to say, on the first day of school, the county leaders came to give a speech, as well as entrepreneurs in the society. The sponsorship funds received in the past few days, and the green light given to all aspects of funding, simply made Wen Tongshi feel like he was dreaming.

If he had been able to get so much support in the early years, Wen Tongshi would probably not be able to sleep every night. But in the past two years, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School has improved year by year in his hands, and his own vision and mentality have also been greatly improved.

The key is to understand that iron has to be hard. Just like he used to talk to Nie Fangping in private, there is no difference between education and sports, and it is still necessary to speak with results, and when results are made, resources from all parties are rolling in. If you can't get results, it's all useless no matter how much you put it up.

"By the way, when will Ye Qin come back?"

Speaking of this, Wen Tongshi suddenly thought that the Olympic team had returned to China, and it was still reported on the news today, and it was said that he would participate in the "Same Song" party or something.

Song Yechun shook his head, he was the teaching director and Ye Qin didn't have much intersection, he wasn't familiar, and his eyes naturally turned to Yan Ning.

"It's been a few days."

Yan Ning paused slightly before speaking, "However, he should go to Nanxiu City first." ”

Wen Tongshi nodded, "By the way, Director Song, Ye Qin's family still has to go on a run, this is the honor of our school, and it is also the honor of Ye Qin's family, and many of the above rewards still need to be handled by Ye Qin's family." ”

"Okay, I'll leave in the afternoon." Song Yechun replied with a smile, with a bit of envy on his face.

The winner of two silver medals at the World Junior Championships, who entered the Olympic Games at the age of 17 and finished sixth, this young man has a bright future, and it is time for him to ascend to heaven.

However, in any case, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is the biggest beneficiary here, thinking about it, it is only a year or two since Wen Tongshi proposed to fully cultivate Ye Qin and implement the idea of integrating sports and education, and they are all honored to be able to achieve such results.

"It's unexpected!"

Wen Tongshi looked at the banner at the entrance of the school, just because of the honors that Ye Qin has won again and again, he has changed it a few times, and sometimes he can't tell whether it is Xiushui No. 2 Middle School that has achieved the current Ye Qin, or Ye Qin who has achieved Xiushui No. 2 Middle School.

Thousands of miles away at Yanjing Airport, a plane crossed the sky at this time, and the destination was Chong'an Airport in Haixi Province.
