Born to Run

?September 1 is the day when primary and secondary schools start school in China. Many students bid farewell to the long summer vacation and began a new semester of campus life.

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

Many students who have entered the school early, because of the late game time last night, they could not see last night’s men’s 4×100m relay preliminaries, men’s 400m and men’s 110m hurdles three finals, one All of them leaned close to some of the day students, their eyes lit up, listening to them talk about every detail of yesterday's game.

Students with better eloquence, every time they talk about one or two wonderful key points, they get a little bit stuck to attract other people's appetites, and then throw out the suspense, which immediately drew waves of exclamation.

Of course, the main group of senior high school students in the second and third grades is here. For the freshmen who have just entered the school, especially those recruited as "sports specialty students", some people are still in a state of ignorance.

People still know more or less about sports and track and field, but some rural middle school students have to say how much they know. That's a lie.

Only occasionally when I heard other classmates talk and talked about various competitions, I could catch a few words, turn out some old calendars that I knew, and stir them up with everyone. It was the beginning of the new semester to meet my classmates.

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

The second and third year of high school is relatively simple. The queue time is very fast. Basically, after the school bell, many people took the time to go to the bathroom and quickly lined up in front of the playground.

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

The same is true for the junior high school. There were not many junior high school students in Xiushui No. 2 High School. However, because of the increase in popularity in recent years, the number of students from the junior high school to the high school has expanded and expanded. The school cafeteria Buildings have been added to both the dormitory and Xiushui County, which has surpassed Xiushui No. 1 Middle School and some other middle schools.

"I heard that our school is applying for a provincial-level high school. This speed feels really fast!"

While the students were reorganizing the team, a few young teachers who were less than 30 years old stood outside the team, huddled together and whispered.

They have all entered Xiushui No. 2 Middle School in the past two years. Some fresh graduates have graduated, and many of them have changed jobs from other schools, and they are not very old.

Xiushui No. 2 Middle School passed the provincial secondary school certification in 2005. Compared with Xiushui No. 1 Middle School, which became the Haixi Provincial Grade II high school in 1993, it is more than ten years behind.

However, since 2003, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School’s reforms in education and sports have been fruitful. Four years later, with the support of many parties, Xiushui No. 2 Middle School has recruited a group of experienced and young teachers, making the college entrance examination and undergraduate education and sports. The key admission rate is increasing year by year.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the number of students who enter the university through extra points and special recruitment of sports special students every year in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School is increasing. Every year, there are ten first-level and thirty-forty second-level students. Athletes are even picked up by provincial and municipal teams, and there are always so many people who enter professional teams directly each year.

In addition to track and field, the school sports team also has basketball and badminton teams. Among them, the basketball team cooperates with a university in Haixi Province, and the badminton team is connected with the Haixi Province team.

The Haixi Provincial Badminton Team is quite strong and is a traditional strong team. Since the previous generation to this generation of badminton players, there are obviously some dangers of faults, and it has also strengthened the selection of excellent seedlings.

The road of "combination of sports and education" has now become a topic that many teachers of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School talk about. Although teaching is still the main focus, it has given many students who have special skills in sports and are not particularly outstanding in academic performance. Way out.

Every year, the admissions office of Xiushui No. 2 Middle School basically dispatches many teacher teams to major villages and towns, and even some township junior high schools in Linxian County, to conduct publicity and recruit students.

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

This is a group of people who have been widely ignored. The elimination rate of the high school entrance examination in economically backward areas is much more cruel than the college entrance examination. In some township middle schools with poor conditions, their grades are on the same level, and some even become marginalized groups in society with some unscrupulous teenagers.

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

Especially, when successful cases have already emerged on this road, it is a life-saving straw for some parents.

Of course, it is really impossible to say that many people can be recruited.

At least once some turmoil is set off, there will be many schools that have changed. Otherwise, with the economic conditions of a remote county like Xiushui, it would be impossible for schools in large cities to have special sports bonus points for ten or twenty years.

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

Another middle-aged teacher who was slightly older heard the discussion in the crowd and answered in a low voice.

He is a native of Xiushui County. After graduating from university, he worked as a teacher in Nanxiu City.

Being invited back to the Xiushui No. 2 Middle School to teach at the beginning was not very happy, but later I will look at the treatment in the Xiushui No. 2 Middle School, as well as the spirit and energy shown, and after all, I am a native of my hometown. My hometown has considered it before agreeing.

After entering Xiushui No. 2 Middle School for the past two years, I have watched the tremendous changes in Xiushui No. 2 Middle School step by step. Sometimes I can’t help but feel a little bit emotional. Sometimes a school’s changes take several generations to appear, but sometimes it’s just In a few years, it is possible to show a different style.

"That's true. If our school is really rated as a provincial-level school, the face on the No. 1 Middle School will really look good."

"Sooner or later, but our school really caught up. The ability of the Wen school is really extraordinary. It is not easy to be able to carry out such reforms drastically."

"The First Middle School has also recruited some special sports students in recent years. After all, it used to be more famous than us, and some parents still choose to go there."

"That's useless, our school has a world champion! Haha..."

"Oh oh... Speaking of this, the honor roll at the entrance of the school has to be added again this time. This time it’s okay. Wen School did not continue to hang up banners to celebrate. In the past few years, I watched it once a day. !"

"Who said no? Just now in the office, I heard that Wen School was tantrums, saying that when the school started, I wanted to hang up a congratulatory banner to encourage the freshmen, but the manufacturer was delayed."

"Hey, let me just say it, but our school is really lucky!"

"Fortunately, do you have an evening self-study class tonight? Why don't you go to the street of the commercial city to find a barbecue stall to watch the game, the 4×100m finals, I don't know where the Chinese team will win this time..."

"I can't. I have a class in the evening, but the school cafeteria should be able to see it. If the school can use the multimedia conference room to see it, it would be great..."

"Thinking too much..."

Just as a few young male teachers, like many students, were excited to chat about the World Athletics Championships in Senri Japan~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the broadcast of the big playground came out with a "buzzing" noise.

With a half-white hair, Tongshi Wen, wearing a trousers and shirt, stood neatly in front of the podium, looked at the young faces below, coughed lightly, and began to deliver the opening speech for the new semester.

Every time, every year, standing in front of the rostrum and giving a speech to the students, he could feel that his blood was boiling.

This is what he dreams of doing, and now he is practicing it step by step.

It’s just that the young man who is playing in Osaka at this moment will always come to mind in his mind. Yes, the current world champion in his memory has been lifted to the sky, and the sports superstar who has boarded the news network one after another. He is still the one who came alone in advance. The teenager who went to school to train, the teenager who ran laps alone after class in the third quarter.

It seems that he has promised that if there is a game with him, he will definitely go to the scene to watch it, but the reality is that he has been absent for many games.

However, you must also understand that your arena is a track and a stadium. My playing field is here, it is at school!
