The Chinese people are constantly running and working hard, and the Olympic bid from the capital is gradually opening up in the picture.

That day.

The whole of China was in a state of tension.

Liu Changchun's heart couldn't help but fluctuate violently.

Hands clenched unconsciously.

And the picture continues to advance at this moment.

On September 23 of that year, the final battle was finally held in Monte Carlo, and since the other cities had already taken the lead, the final 2000 Olympic host city would be decided between XN and Beijing. At that time, there were four rounds of voting, and in the first three rounds of voting, Jingjing led XN with 32, 37 and 40 votes respectively.

When he saw the string of nouns, Liu Changchun couldn't help but hold his breath.

However, it was destined to be disappointed, and XN's advantage gradually began to show in the third round of votes. After the elimination of the Commonwealth of England 0 in Manchester, some people turned to vote for Australia. XN received 30 votes in the first and second rounds of voting, 37 votes in the third round, and 45 votes in the fourth round.

In the final round of voting, Beijing only had 43 votes, losing to XN by 2 votes.

"Failed?"

Muttering to himself, Liu Changchun's heart couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"This is the closest we've come to bidding, but it's just the last darkness before dawn."

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

And with his words, the next moment, the surrounding scene changed.

This moment was replaced by a black and white street.

The streets and alleys of the magic capital, the capital, the southern province, and the whole of China are unusually quiet at this moment, and at this moment, all the Chinese are staring intently at the TV screen, and everyone is waiting for an exciting moment.

At the same time, the IOC hall was equally quiet, with delegates glued to Samaranch's list and the giant screen behind him.

And just when the voices were boiling, a voice came out that made everyone begin to hold their breath:

"Let's look forward to which country will the 2008 Olympics be held?"

"Five, four, three, two, one!" As the countdown ended, the name "BeiJing" appeared on the big screen.

"Congratulations! BeiJing！ When IOC President Samaranch said these words, the audience immediately burst into enthusiastic applause and cheers.

"At 10 p.m. on July 13, 2001, we officially completed our bid for the Olympic Games and became the venue for the 2008 Olympic Games."

"In the past, Nankai University, the three questions of the Olympic Games were finally answered satisfactorily at this moment."

Jiang Chen sighed softly, with an endless sigh of emotion.

"Success, success!"

Liu Changchun's originally depressed expression couldn't help but widen his pupils at this moment, and his eyes opened in disbelief.

Even after experiencing everything, when he really reached this moment, Liu Changchun was still a little unbelievable.

"Yes, we succeeded."

"This is our first Olympic Games, and this is also the first time that China has shown it to the world."

Jiang Chen opened his mouth with emotion, and there were some fluctuations in his expression.

China's Olympic bid journey can be said to be extremely difficult.

This is an existence that no one living in the afterlife can experience.

As a global sports event, the "Olympic Games" can be imagined in the minds of sports people. Therefore, many countries regard being able to host the Olympic Games as a symbol of national strength, and for any country, being able to host the Olympic Games not only represents the international affirmation of its strength, economy and status, but also a good publicity opportunity.

As a sports power, Huaxia is naturally eager to be recognized internationally, and if it can successfully apply to host the Olympic Games, then Huaxia can take advantage of this opportunity to emerge internationally and show people all over the world its strength.

But before that, China had always been called the "sick man of East Asia", and Western countries had always mocked China with this. They believe that a country like China, which is relatively backward in all aspects of economic conditions, wants to apply to host the Olympics is simply a dream.

In the end, with the improvement of China's status in the world, the IOC also had to recognize China's legitimate seat.

How many hardships have been encountered along the way, I'm afraid only that generation can know.

At this moment, in the streets and alleys of China, countless people are cheering and excited.

This is not the same for the Olympic Games in later generations, that is because the future generations of China no longer need to show the world, China is strong enough, and now China still needs, the success of the Olympics at this moment, the excitement of the whole China can be imagined.

At this point, Liu Changchun's performance is enough to illustrate one or two.

His words continued, "We succeeded," "We succeeded." ”

The voice was constantly narrating, and Liu Changchun's tears couldn't help blurring his eyes at this moment.

At this time, he didn't notice that the time under his feet continued to flow.

A figure slowly appeared inadvertently.

It was a small figure.

The figure is very ordinary, at least the appearance is ordinary, and what is not ordinary is that he has a pair of extremely long legs.

And he has shown his amazing talent since he was a child.

Step by step, the boy grew up, and his talent in track and field became more and more eye-catching.

At the beginning of August 1998, Xuzhou held the National Youth Age Row Athletics Competition, and the boy won the second place in the national all-around event with an injury.

In April 1999, the National Athletics Grand Prix was held in Xinzhuang, and the boy finished fourth in 14.19 seconds.

In October 2000, the boy had become a teenager and finished fourth in the men's 110m hurdles at the World Junior Championships in San Diego with a time of 13.87 seconds. In November of the same year, at the Lyon Indoor Championships in France, the boy finished third.

His legend is narrating.

Liu Changchun, who was originally silent in the Olympic bid, was gradually attracted to the boy.

Because the boy seems to be very similar to him.

Whether it's looks, or experiences.

The only difference is that the boy lives in a peaceful era in which his talents can be fully utilized.

The boy seemed to be pinning his dreams on him, on his best in everything.

Liu Changchun's heart continued to be pulled, and his eyes continued to grow with the boy.

"In 1983, your ancestor died while serving as a professor at Dalian Institute of Technology, and 110 days later, a young man named Liu Xiang was born in the magic capital."

The words spoke softly.

The sounds are constantly presented along with the picture below.

That's about Liu Xiang's growth trajectory.

(You can take a look at the photos of Liu Xiang and Liu Changchun, they really look alike.) ）
