On September 1st, it was already the day when primary and secondary schools in China began to open, and many students bid farewell to the long summer vacation and began to enter a new semester of campus life.

In Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, before the first class in the morning began, almost every class had boys discussing the World Athletics Championships these days.

Many students who have already entered the school in advance, because of the late competition time last night, could not see last night's men's 4×100m relay preliminaries, men's 400m and men's 110m hurdles three finals.

Students who are better at eloquence will talk about one or two wonderful key points, slightly stuck, hook up with other people's appetites, and then throw out the suspense, which immediately attracts bursts of amazement.

Of course, this mainly refers to the group of old students in the second and third years of high school, and some of them are still in a state of ignorance for the freshmen who have just stepped into the school, especially those who are recruited as "sports students".

For sports, these people still have a certain understanding of track and field, but some township middle school students, if they want to say how much they know, it is also a lie.

Only occasionally when I hear other students talk eloquently and talk about various competitions, can I take a few words and turn over some of the old yellow calendars I know to everyone and stir them up, which can be regarded as the beginning of the new semester to get to know my classmates.

After the two classes in the morning, it was time for recess exercises, because today was Saturday, and there was no national flag-raising ceremony, but the homeroom teachers and subject teachers of each class were basically there, and all the students were brought to the large playground in front of the teaching building for a brief opening ceremony.

The second and third years of high school are still relatively simple, and the time of queuing is very fast, basically many people hurry up to go to the bathroom after the class bell, and soon line up in front of the playground.

Only the first year of high school is half a beat slower, and the class is full of freshmen, and it is still a little messy, but fortunately, they are all students, and each class teacher and teacher are experienced, and it won't take long to train the team.

The same is true for the junior high school, there were not many students in the junior high school before Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, but in recent years, because of the increase in fame, the number of students from junior high school to high school has expanded again and again, and the school's canteen and dormitory have been added, which has surpassed Xiushui No. 1 Middle School and some other middle schools in Xiushui County.

"I heard that our school is applying for a provincial first-level high school, which feels really fast!"

While the students were regrouping their ranks, several young teachers who were not yet thirty years old stood in the group outside, huddled together and whispered.

They have all entered Xiushui No. 2 Middle School in the past two years, some of them have graduated from college students, and many of them have jumped from other schools, and they are not very old.

Xiushui No. 2 Middle School passed the certification of the provincial second-level standard school in 05 years, compared with Xiushui No. 1 Middle School in 93 years to become the second-level high school in Haixi Province, it has lagged behind more than ten years.

However, since 03 years, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School has been effective in the reform of education and sports, four years have passed, with the support of many parties, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School has recruited a group of experienced and young teachers, so that the college entrance examination undergraduate and key admission rate has increased year by year.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the number of students entering the university through sports specialties and special recruitment every year is increasing, and every year there are more than a dozen first-level and thirty or forty second-level student athletes, and even being picked up by the provincial team and the municipal team, there are always a few people who directly enter the professional team every year.

In addition to track and field, the school sports team also has several basketball and badminton teams, of which the basketball cooperation is connected to a university in Haixi Province, and the badminton team is connected to the Haixi Provincial Team.

The badminton team of Haixi Province is a traditional strong team, and since the previous generation to this generation of badminton players, there is obviously some danger of fault, and the selection of excellent seedlings has also been strengthened.

The way of "combining sports and education" has now become a topic that many teachers in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School talk about, although it is still teaching-oriented, but it has given a lot of students who have special skills in sports and their academic performance is not particularly outstanding A new way out.

Every year, the admissions office of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School basically sends a lot of teachers to major towns and towns, and even some township junior high schools in Linxian County, to carry out publicity and recruit students.

One of the main groups is those students who have excellent physical fitness but have relatively average academic performance.

This is a group of people who are widely ignored, and the elimination rate of the high school entrance examination is much more cruel than the college entrance examination in economically backward areas. In some township middle schools with poor conditions, grades do not go up or down, and some will go into society with some delinquent teenagers and become marginalized groups.

Although the road of sports is also not easy to follow, it at least gives some people a hope.

In particular, when there are successful cases ahead of this road, it is a lifesaver for some parents.

Of course, it is impossible to say that we can recruit many people.

At least once some of the trends are set off, there are many schools that change with them. Otherwise, with the economic conditions of a remote county like Xiushui, it is unlikely that it will be possible to have special sports points in the same way as schools in big cities.

"It shouldn't be so fast, I guess it will take a few years."

Another, slightly older middle-aged teacher overheard the discussion in the crowd and whispered a reply.

He is a native of Xiushui County, and after graduating from university, he worked as a teacher in Nanxiu City, which is considered to be the group in the prime of life.

I was not very happy to be invited back to Xiushui No. 2 Middle School to teach at first, but later I looked at the treatment of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, as well as the spiritual energy shown, and after all, it was a native of my hometown, and my hometown agreed after thinking about it here.

In the past two years of entering Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, I have also watched the great changes that have taken place in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School step by step, and sometimes I can't help but feel some emotion, sometimes the change of a school sometimes takes several generations to appear, but sometimes it is only a few years, and it can show a different style.

"That's right, if our school is really rated as a provincial first-class standard school, the face of No. 1 Middle School will really look good."

"Sooner or later, but our school is really in time. Wen Xiao's ability is really extraordinary, and it is not easy to carry out such a reform in a big way. ”

"No. 1 Middle School has also recruited some sports students in recent years, after all, it was more famous than us in the past, and some parents still chose to go there."

"That's useless, we have a world champion in our school! Haha......"

"Alas...... Speaking of which, the honor list at the school gate has to be added again this time, this time it's okay, Wen School didn't continue to hang banners to celebrate, I have watched it once a day in the past few years, and I was dazzled! ”

"Who said no, just now in the office, I also heard that Wen Xiao was losing his temper, saying that when the school started, he wanted to hang a congratulatory banner to encourage the new students, but the manufacturer delayed."

"Hehe, I'll just say it, but our school is really lucky!"

"Are you so lucky, you have a night study class tonight? If you don't go to the street of the commercial city to find a barbecue stall to watch the game, the 4×100m final, I don't know how many ...... the Chinese team can win this time"

"I can't, I have classes at night, but the school cafeteria should be able to watch, and if Wen School can use the multimedia conference room to see it, it will be really cool......"

"I'm thinking too much......"

Just as a few young male teachers, like many students, were chatting excitedly about the World Athletics Championships in Japan, there was a "buzzing" noise on the radio in the large playground.

Wen Tongshi, whose hair was already half white, wore trousers and shirts, stood in front of the rostrum neatly, looked at the young faces below, coughed lightly, and began to deliver the opening speech of the new semester.

Every time he stood in front of the rostrum and gave an opening speech to the students, he could feel his blood boiling.

It's what he's always dreamed of, and he's practicing it step by step.

It's just that the boy who is competing in Osaka at the moment will always float in his mind, yes, the current world champion in his memory, the sports superstar who was praised to the sky and appeared on the news broadcast one after another, he is still the teenager who once came to the school in advance to train alone, and the teenager who ran laps after class in the third quarter.

It seems that he had promised that if he had a game, he would definitely go to see it, but the reality is that he has been absent for many games.

However, you must also understand that your stadium is a running track, a stadium. My arena is here, it's at school!
