The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 536 There is no way (seeking a monthly ticket)

The College of Physical Education, the highest institution for training sports workers in Taidong Province, has management-type majors like the social sports studies Song Na studied, and there are more pure sports majors, which is what the general population calls it. professional athlete.

   is a professional athlete, not a professional athlete.

  Because there are too many sports, the mass base is not broad. Except for the Asian Games and the Olympic Games, no one usually pays attention to it, and there is no professionalism at all, and the market alone cannot support athletes.

  There are a large number of professional athletes in the sports academy. If Song Na and Huang Juan do not choose social sports and continue to practice high jump, they can also take the professional road.

   This year is 2001, the biggest event in the sports world. In addition to the bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games and the national football World Cup once again, there is also the ninth National Games to be held in less than half a month.

   Sports Academy is a major player in Taidong Province, and there will be more than 200 professional athletes participating in the National Games.

  As a new campus with complete supporting facilities, the Sports Academy has a relatively complete variety of venues, and it is also the final training place for many provincial teams to go to the 9th National Games.

  The national sports event is inevitably directly linked to the performance of sports officials, so many leaders of Taidong Sports Bureau also came to the Sports Academy to urge each team to prepare for the competition.

   Correspondingly, media reporters are also indispensable.

As we all know, any industry has a pyramid-shaped structure, and professional or professional sports are no exception, especially for some unpopular sports, there are very few people who can really reach the top. Once ordinary middle- and lower-level athletes retire, they want to gain a foothold in society. easy.

  At the entrance of the Physical Education Institute, when there were many people coming in and out at noon, two people placed a piece of canvas in the middle of the large characters engraved with the Taidong Provincial Institute of Physical Education, and then crouched in the back and took the bag from behind.

When Lu Dong and Song Na passed by, there were not too many people, and they saw a tall, thin man who opened the ragged schoolbag he brought, took out a large piece of paper, spread it on the canvas, and used a few pieces of shredded paper. Stone pressed.

   There was someone blocking his vision in front of him, and Lu Dong only saw the word "help" with his head up and the size of a child's palm!

  The woman is not tall, and her body is more sturdy, a bit like a dwarf cuckoo. She took out another bag and took out more than ten pieces of ribbons hanging from it - medals!

   In terms of appearance, there are gold medals and silver medals.

   The two people in front of them who were blocking their sight took a step to the side, and Lu Dong could see more clearly. He glanced at the two people who were obviously husband and wife, and his eyes fell on the large piece of paper with "help" written on it.

   Just like Lu Dong's guess when he saw the medal, what was written on the paper was the experience of the two of them.

These two are retired professional athletes, the man is a high jumper, and the man is a weightlifting man. They have achieved good results in the provincial sports games many times. Even in the Eighth National Games a few years ago, one won a bronze medal. One got a silver medal.

   It can be said that this is the peak of their professional career. After the peak, there will be a landslide. Years of professional sports training will not bring you higher, faster and stronger, but a whole body of injuries.

  The man injured his meniscus during a training session after the 8th National Games. Although there are sports medicine specialists abroad who can treat him, how can he go to Europe for surgery if he can't even win the national championship?

  This is not table tennis, the National Games champion is harder to win than the World Championship...

   He can only choose to retire, because of conservative treatment, he cannot do heavy work.

The woman is a weightlifter, and she doesn't have any serious injuries, but her body is not very good, and her muscles are damaged in many places. There is no need to think about heavy physical labor. What's even worse... It's written on the paper because she was deceived by the coach. Taking banned drugs, lost fertility!

At present, the man is in charge of sports equipment at a vocational school in Quannan, and he is not a temporary worker. The woman is doing some work in the clothing market in Luokou, Quannan. The two bought medicine.

   Especially the man's legs.

   There was a lot of discussion around, especially the students of the Sports Academy.

   These two sat on the ground silently, not talking to anyone, like stones.

   But the furrowed brows, the hesitant demeanor, and the bowed head all showed the unease and helplessness in his heart.

  Compared to them, the professional students of the Physical Education Institute have a much better life after retirement. After all, they have a college or undergraduate diploma. The diploma is still valuable these days, and it is also a good stepping stone when looking for a job.

   Unlike Lu Dong, Song Na kept looking at the woman. After a while, she let go of Lu Dong's hand, moved closer to the woman, and asked uncertainly, "Are you... Liu Hongmei?"

  The girl raised her head slightly and looked at the beautiful female student with wheat-colored skin in front of her. She didn't know her, she was a stranger.

   But what the other party said was the familiar Qingzhao dialect.

   "I am." The woman replied, puzzled: "You know me?"

Song Na wanted to laugh and express friendliness, but when she saw Liu Hongmei and the man next to her, for some reason, she couldn't smile at all, she just said, "My name is Song Na, I also came from Qingzhao No. 1 Middle School, and graduated in 1998. Athletes who practice high jump."

   Hearing the last sentence, the man looked at Song Na a little, looking at her slender body, it really looked like someone practicing high jump.

   Liu Hongmei said: "I graduated in 1993."

  Song Na said softly, "I know, I have seen your name and photo on the sports records in the county, and you still keep the shot put records in the county."

   Knowing that she was not many people who practiced shot put before, Liu Hongmei believed that Song Na was from Qingzhao No.1 Middle School.

   Lu Dong followed Song Na all the time, and the conversation between the two could be heard clearly. Maybe the other party graduated too early and was a sports student. Song Na knew there was such a person in the first place, but he didn't have any impression.

When I was in school, I practiced shot put, and later I switched to women's weightlifting. It seems that it may be quite big. After all, women's weightlifting belongs to the unpopular among the unpopular. In the past, it was not even an Olympic event. , are modified later.

   So, what she wrote on the paper that she was infertile due to the medication may be true.

Don't forget, when Lu Dong was in high school, because of his natural strength, he practiced sports for a short time. At that time, the sports group chose weightlifting. All kinds of information, coupled with the lack of qualitative information at that time, were quickly thrown away.

During the    period, I have heard people say more than once that in this industry, many people eat what they eat, which will cause great harm to their bodies.

   Lu Dong and Song Na came out early, and there were not too many people on the road. At this time, the sports academy was dismissed at noon or the training was over, and more and more people gathered around.

  Song Na exchanged a few words with Liu Hongmei. Maybe she also practiced sports before. Listening to what Liu Hongmei said, she felt a chill in her heart.

  There are some things Song Na has never heard of before, but because she doesn't practice professionally, she doesn't think much about it.

"This is my partner, Feng Xin, who is practicing high jumping. This year, my legs hurt and I can't walk." Liu Hongmei was confused and lost her hope. Don't throw your face away, come here to do these shameful things, there is really no way."

   was talking when suddenly a media reporter separated the crowd from outside and squeezed in.

   Lu Dong turned around and saw that he still knew him, from the Evening News Office.

  After all, the nearest media unit is the Evening News Office in the business center.

   approached, the reporter also saw Lu Dong, and smiled and said hello: "Mr. Lu..."

   This is the uncle of the immediate boss.

  Lü Dong glanced at Liu Hongmei, since Qingzhao No.1 Middle School came out, if you ask about her, you can know the truth and not lie.

   He nodded to the reporter: "Come out to run the news?"

  The reporter looked at Liu Hongmei and his wife: "No one just gave a news clue."

   Lu Dong said directly: "That's my alumni."

  The reporter understood as soon as he turned his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, in our business, we must be businesslike."

   Lu Dong pulled Song Na and moved out of the way: "I won't disturb your work."

   Seeing a media reporter coming over, Liu Hongmei's originally dull face had a glimmer of hope.

   In the past, it’s not that I didn’t think about it, but I didn’t pay attention. The so-called champion of the provincial games, who won the ranking in the National Games, is not enough to watch.

   The superiors don’t care, and the media ignores them.

  Song Na was not in a hurry to eat, she just stood aside, watching reporters take pictures, preparing to interview on the spot, her face was a little scary.

   Lu Dong patted her on the back comfortingly. He could understand Song Na's mood, because Song Na almost embarked on this professional sports practice.

   "Don't think too much." Lu Dong said softly, "You are different from them."

  Song Na held Lu Dong's hand tightly, but didn't say a word, just took out her mobile phone and sent a text message to the teacher at her alma mater.

   Not too many meetings, the phone text message sounded, Song Na glanced at it: "I just asked Huo Henglong from the sports team, he knows about Liu Hongmei, it's true."

   She added: "Feng Xin is from No. 5 Middle School, and now holds the Qingzhao men's high jump record."

  Lu Dong nodded slightly, Song Na determined that this should be easy, after all, the Qingzhao women's high jump record is still in her hands.

  Suddenly, a stern voice came from outside the crowd: "All dispersed! All dispersed! This is the school gate! What does it look like to gather here? All hurry up!"

  Song Na and Lu Dong turned their heads to see that the crowd was spreading out. Seven or eight people in security uniforms came with a few people in white shirts. One of them was wide and fat.

   This person is the leader of the sports academy. The students in the surrounding sports academies dispersed quickly. Under the persuasion of the security guards, others stayed away.

   It’s really not a good idea to be blocked at the gate of the school, this is a university after all.

   Lu Dong and Song Na also left a little bit. Song Na is a student of the school, so it is definitely not wise to go directly against the leader.

   In the white shirt, there was a man in his forties. At this time, he came to Liu Hongmei and his wife. When he saw the reporter who was interviewing and the medal and the letter of help on the ground, his face immediately became ugly.

   "Comrade reporter, stop first." This man stopped the reporter first, then looked at Liu Hongmei: "You two, if you have any difficulties, just respond through normal channels, what kind of formality is this!"
