His story:
In 2004, when Lance wore a yellow robe for the sixth time, Bush made an overseas call to the Arc de Triomphe and said to Lance who was raising a glass, "You are great!"
Grow up in suffering, mature in anti-cancer, and achieve brilliance in persistence.
-Remember lance armstrong, the god of bicycles?
The trick played by auto parts, the disaster of administrative encroachment on science, the beauty blog final, China's foreign reserves ranked first in the world
In difficult times, maternal love holds up a blue sky.
"My mother and I grew up together. The king can't ignore my mother! " Lance said.
In Oak Cliff, Texas, a girl of 197 1 gave birth to a boy. People say that this girl named Linda Muneham gave birth to a burden, but she still held the child in her arms and said to everyone, "This is my child Lance, you will remember him!" " "
A year later, Linda was abandoned. In order to survive, Linda worked as a maid, postman and cleaner, earning $400 a month, with little left after paying the rent. The hardships of life forced her to remarry, but Lance was regarded as an illegitimate child by her stepfather and was often beaten.
At the age of seven, Lance owned a mountain bike. He firmly believes that as long as he rides fast enough, he can escape this hellhole. Since then, Lance has used these wheels to crush his bitter childhood back and forth on the mountain road in his hometown. In the fifth grade, he won the presidential running championship, the fourth place in the state swimming competition and the triathlon champion in the state junior group. Linda, on the other hand, was admitted to the hospital because of a uterine tumor, and the money used was Lance's competition bonus. Nurses all envy the "brother and sister"-no one thinks they are mother and son. But it wasn't long before Lance was beaten up for discovering that her stepfather was having an affair with another woman. Linda left the villain with her sick body and her dying son.
To survive, we must work hard.
In the "President's Cup Triathlon" in 1987, 15-year-old Lance ranked 32nd among thousands of adult athletes, and ranked 5th the following year. Since then, Lance has revised his date of birth many times, participated in various competitions and won bonuses to fill his and Linda's stomachs.
Lance's training is crazy. One afternoon, he was hit by a truck while riding at high speed. Nine stitches in the head, 17 stitches in the thigh, and dislocated kneecap. Six days later, he cut the thread with a nail clipper, borrowed a bicycle and crooked his neck into the top three. The doctor sighed, "What a bull!" A few days later, this bull rewrote the record of 1990 New Mexico Cycling Time Trial and was selected for the national team in the World Youth Cycling Championship.
1993 American professional championship awarded the million-dollar champion. Lance screamed and shouted, "Mom! Never have to be poor again! " The first one crossed the finish line, then jumped into Linda's arms and burst into tears.
In the same year, at the World Championships held in Oslo, Norway, Linda braved the pouring rain and sat in the stands for seven hours, watching her son struggling in the mud. Lance won again! Linda was not allowed to go in when King Herold of Germany received Lance. Lance said, "In front of me, the king must never ignore my mother!" " "
Just like a mother to her son, Lance took Linda and said to everyone, "This is my mother Linda. You won't forget her. "
1996, lance international ranks fifth, and it is very difficult to make a breakthrough. He failed to ride the whole Tour de France three times in a row. His understanding of racing is just jumping on the bike and pedaling hard. Obviously, it is impossible for him to make any achievements in the Tour de France, the highest international cycling event. He needs to settle down and mature slowly.
This process should have been spent on a bicycle, but Lance spent it in a hospital bed.
Death, redefining cancer
"Cancer is not a form of death, but a part of life." Lance said after recovery.
1996 After winning the Fletcher-Walloon competition, Lance changed his old habit of screaming loudly and waving his fists up and down, feeling weak all over. In the following Tour de France, he dropped out because of testicular swelling and cough, and lost in the Atlanta Olympic Games because of nipple pain and blurred vision. At his 25th birthday party, Lance suddenly had a splitting headache. A few days later, he suddenly vomited a big mouthful of blood on the phone. When he woke up on the morning of September 30th, he found that his testicles were swollen as big as oranges. Lance, who had never been ill since childhood, had to come to the hospital. After a comprehensive examination, the doctor made a diagnosis of testicular cancer and its widespread spread.
On the way home, lance didn't exceed the speed limit for the first time in his life. The tough guy who thought he was invulnerable a few hours ago is shaking all over now, so he stopped the car and cried. There is a long line of traffic jams behind, and the speakers are equally famous. To him, it sounds like the death knell.
Linda flew to her son overnight. She cried all the way, but she was strong again before entering the door. She held Lance in her arms and watched him fall asleep.
Early the next morning, Lance was pushed into the operating room. Linda sat on the bench and cried for three hours. But when her son was pushed out, Linda quickly wiped her tears and said, "Don't be afraid of anything, mom is here!" " "
The operation was successful, but the incision was deep and long. Linda stayed with her son day and night, and she jumped out of her chair at the slightest movement.
The doctor said that cancer spread quickly and spread all over the body. In addition, because Lance just moved, there is no medical insurance! Linda had to sell her house and car and try to raise money. Being covered with tumors and economic crisis, Lance became very negative.
At this time, a patient named Kelly walked into Lance's life like an angel and brought many short stories to Lance. One of them said that someone had been washed onto the roof by the flood. A motorboat came to save him, and he said, God will save him. Later, a helicopter came to rescue him, and he still said that. After the man drowned, he blamed God. God said, I sent motorboats and helicopters first, you idiot! Kelly warned Lance not to be like that idiot. The choice is always in her own hands.
Lance became more cheerful, but chemotherapy failed to stop the spread of cancer cells. 12 deadly tumors occupy the brain, lungs and abdomen, and choriocarcinoma cells are everywhere in the blood. The doctor decided to use a large dose of bleomycin, which would damage the lungs and make Lance bid farewell to the game forever.
Lance's illness has attracted the attention of the majority of car fans, and one of the famous oncologists denied the treatment plan. He said that destroying athletes' lungs is equivalent to breaking birds' wings. Under his introduction, Lance found Dr. Knicks, a great disciple of einhorn, an American master of testicular cancer. Knicks will first remove the brain tumor by surgery, and then use VIP (vinblastine, etoposide, ifosfamide, cisplatin) chemotherapy. Although it is more destructive in the short term, it will not cause damage to the lungs in the long term. If you pass the customs smoothly, you can go to BEP for treatment again. But Knicks revealed to Linda that Lance's cure rate was only 3%.
VIP chemotherapy lasted for 3 weeks, just like the Tour de France, but it seemed more difficult. I have participated in the Tour de France three times, but I haven't ridden the whole course once. Will this happen to me?
The first two courses of treatment severely tortured lance. His hair and eyelashes are all gone, his face turns pale, his blood vessels seem to be burning, and all he coughs up from his chest is asphalt fragments. In the third course of treatment, severe pain and nausea hit around the clock, feeling like the most difficult climb in the Tour de France, but once you quit, it means death. The fourth course of treatment is the limit of this chemotherapy scheme, which is not needed by ordinary patients, but it is necessary for lance who is terminally ill. Lance seems to be in a fetal state again, and it is impossible to blink his skin. He was half asleep and half awake, hanging upside down in the abyss ...
In the meantime, Latraye took good care of Lance. She is a skilled and understanding head nurse. They became good friends who talked about everything, and Lance even killed boredom by blaming her. Lance will accuse her of being too stingy with antiemetic drugs, and satirize her for losing so many hateful chemotherapy drugs every day. La Tres is always so patient. She would say, "Be obedient, at least this time, I am your mother."
The tumor index began to decline, and the daily blood index figures were encouraging. This is Lance's yellow cycling shirt, just like the Tour de France, starting to lead, 10 second! 20 seconds! You can get out of bed, walk, exercise, and … One day, Knicks said with a smile, you can ride a bike. Lance paused, then hugged the Knicks and Latraye.
In the last few days after leaving the hospital, Lance went to visit little Kelly. On the sunny table, Lance and Kelly play scrabble. He took the cancer apart and began with each letter, spelling out courage, attitude, never giving up, healing ability, enlightenment and memory for other patients. Little Kelly's eyes lit up, clapped her hands and said, "Great! Cancer = courage+attitude+never give up+can be cured+enlighten+remember the patient. " Lance smiled. This is his definition of cancer.
Return to the Sun and End the "Lance Myth"
"Ignorance, aggressiveness and self-abandonment disappeared with my previous strength, which undoubtedly helped me win the Tour de France." Lance said.
For a year, Dr. Knicks didn't allow Lance to participate in any competition. So what should we do? Laziness is not lance's character. Do something for patients, why not set up a cancer foundation? His former sponsor also expressed support. Lance immediately set about this work, and thus got to know his later wife, the beautiful and capable Christine. Together, they planned the "Rose Bike Race" symbolizing love. 1In March 1997, the first "Rose Bike Race" raised $200,000 for the Foundation. Later, this event became the largest public bicycle race in the world.
That summer, Lance and Christine started a romantic trip to Europe. During the Tour de France, chris Ting cheered when he saw colorful riders galloping past the towering Pyrenees.
"Honey, go back to your position!"
"Is that okay?"
"Compared with chemotherapy, the biggest steep slope in the Alps has also become flat. Texas Bulls will definitely make a comeback! "
Lance rode a dusty racing car to the sun again, venting his excess strength everywhere like a trapped animal. He galloped on the fantastic mountain road and recovered the feeling of that year bit by bit.
A year later, he tried to take part in the competition. As a result, I won 14 in the five-day cross-Spain competition, which surprised myself. Careful fans found that Lance was no longer the reckless teenager he used to be, and he began to pay attention to tactics and consciously control his own strength. Stop being aggressive, but humble your opponent if necessary. Lance's performance is rising, ranking fourth in the American professional championship, the Tour of Holland and the Tour of Spain, and winning the Tour of Luxembourg in one fell swoop! Facing the shock of the world car world, Lance was very calm, and he fixed his eyes on the Tour de France!
Lance started intensive training in Alps and Pyrenees, so he gave up dozens of international competitions. He repeatedly looked for the balance between weight and car weight, the critical value of kicking and speed, and the best ratio of diet and consumption. He knows that if you want to win the Tour de France, you must stick to it when others want to give up. To this end, he chose heavy rain, sultry and foggy weather for intensive training. In the most difficult stage of Notre Dame, Lance tied the world record in one fell swoop. He couldn't believe it, so he immediately went back to ride again, and the result was an increase of 47 seconds! Victory is in the bag! Lance clenched his fist.
Lance won the Tour de France with absolute advantage 1999.
Lance couldn't help crying when he held the trophy high. He jumped off the platform and hugged his wife and mother tightly. Medical workers and cancer friends in Indianapolis fried the pot in front of the big screen. La Tres hugged little Kelly and shouted excitedly, "He beat cancer!" " "America is boiling. This is the first time that an American has won the Tour de France. Nike sent a special plane to take Lance home, and Mayor new york attended the reception. Wall Street asked Lance to ring the bell of the exchange, and millions of citizens stood on both sides of the street to greet the national hero.
Lance continued this myth.
In 2004, when Lance wore a yellow robe for the sixth time, Bush made an overseas call to the Arc de Triomphe and said to Lance who was raising a glass, "You are great!" In July this year, Lance won the seventh Tour de France and announced his retirement, which brought a satisfactory end to his career.
Today, Lance has devoted himself to the Anti-cancer Foundation and the "Rose Bike Race" and actively worked for the anti-cancer cause of mankind. He likes it. He didn't want to stop. ...
Armstrong, who stood at the peak of the Tour de France for the last time, said, "I deeply regret those who don't like cycling and those who are cynical." I feel deeply sorry for those who don't believe in miracles. Facts have proved that the Tour de France is a hard race, and only hard sweat can win the race. Long live the Tour de France! "
33-year-old, 22 stage champions, 83 times wearing yellow jerseys, 7 consecutive championships, this is a series of "flash" records left by Armstrong who is about to retire. Armstrong is about to bid farewell to the Tour de France, but he has written a legend that others may never surpass.
Overcome cancer "phoenix nirvana"
The Tour de France, which has experienced a hundred years of vicissitudes, has flourished again in recent years. There may be many reasons, but there is no doubt that many people pay more attention to the Tour de France because of Armstrong. Many people "love" Armstrong because of his life-and-death struggle with cancer.
Things are often dialectical like this: if Armstrong had never had cancer, he might have made more brilliant achievements; But if he didn't have cancer, Armstrong wouldn't be such a "Tour de France hero" today. I'm afraid many people don't know that Armstrong was an alcoholic before he was diagnosed with cancer. But it was because of cancer that he gave up drinking. After active treatment, Armstrong finally came to back in the game and began to shine.
Armstrong had a testicle removed because of testicular cancer. At that time, the doctor said that he had only a 50% chance of survival. Cancer cells once invaded his lungs and brain, but Armstrong survived. It has been nine years since he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Just as there will always be setbacks in the Tour de France, Armstrong's life has also encountered various setbacks and doubts. Pantani, an Italian driver who was a former Tour de France champion and was likely to die of doping, once doubted Armstrong that a cancer patient could not become a Tour de France champion. However, Armstrong created a miracle.
For seven years in a row, the Tour de France has to ride in high temperature for 23 days every year, with a total distance of more than 3000 kilometers ... Imagine what kind of suffering a person who has suffered from cancer has to endure before he can climb the final podium for seven times in a row? Armstrong embodies the great power of nature and science. A person who once suffered from cancer became the best representative of "3 out of 1" in physical strength, perseverance and intelligence in the Tour de France, which is famous for its driver's courage and perseverance. This can be said to be a great victory of the human spirit, which may be the charm of Armstrong.
His spirit inspires people, including his lover. In these two years, American singer Shelley has been with Armstrong. It is reported that Shelley's own two albums were inspired by Armstrong. In addition, the charitable foundation named after Armstrong has sold more than 33 million yellow plastic wristbands so far, and each wristband has a line printed on it: "Be strong and live". Even Kerry, who competed with George W. Bush for the presidency of the United States, once wore such plastic wristbands all over the United States.
Someone once commented on Armstrong's relationship with the Tour de France: this is "a kind of nirvana". Only in the "slow and almost endless" misery of the Tour de France can the spirit represented by Armstrong be interpreted to the greatest extent. This spirit is to face suffering and misfortune calmly and change the trajectory of life through your own efforts.
Armstrong even thought of his epitaph: "I am a child from Texas, I quickly learned to ride a bike, I defeated my deadly cancer, and I won the most difficult bicycle race in the world ..."
Realize the miracle of "going to the moon by bike"
There is a famous movie in Hollywood called ET Alien. There is a classic scene in this movie, in which a little boy rides a bicycle and flies into the sky with aliens. People and cars left beautiful silhouettes in front of the big round white moon. This picture brings people not only the enjoyment of beauty, but also the miracle and dream that human beings, especially innocent children, expect.
The legendary life of this "Tour de France hero" is a portrayal of miracles and dreams come true. I think he is like an "ET" who will go to the moon by bike at any time.
In fact, Armstrong really took part in "going to the moon by bike". At that time, Armstrong had just undergone surgery, and he said that he would attack the Tour de France champion after his full recovery. So someone sneered: "He might as well go to the moon by bike, which is better than his current' dream'." Those who said these words, of course, remembered the American named neil armstrong who landed on the moon in 1969.
But at that time, cyclist Armstrong's answer was simple: "If I give up my efforts, then my mother will scold me to death."
Yes, Armstrong's mother gave him the greatest courage besides his natural skills and team assistance. "Thank my mother," Armstrong once said. "She told me,' When you want to give up, just take a step forward and grit your teeth, and you will survive.'" Armstrong's mother and son have lived together since childhood. No matter what sports Armstrong plays, his mother will always be his driver, tailor, nurse and partner. During the Tour de France, the most important thing for Armstrong's mother every day was to sit in front of the TV and watch the latest news of the game. She said: "I just want my son to know that his mother will always be with him and I will be with his spirit."
Of course, our "Tour de France hero" is not an "alien" after all, he is just an ordinary person like us.
Armstrong once described it like this: "In the Tour de France, I felt like I was walking through hell every day. Every morning, I lie in bed and don't want to get up. I started cycling at the age of 12. I'm too stressed and tired. However, I have no regrets now. I can relax and enjoy life. I can drink beer again and eat a lot without worrying about getting fat. "
The last stop of this year's Tour de France is the last and easiest stop in Armstrong's career. "Waiting for me at the finish line are my three children. I want to go to them and give my father's love. " Armstrong said happily.
Some people say that Shelley goes to the scene to watch Armstrong's game every year, and now it's Armstrong's turn to play the guitar for Shelley. Although Shelley once said that her greatest dream was to give birth to Armstrong's fourth child, the last scene that impressed the audience in this Tour de France was that Armstrong put up eight fingers-does Armstrong still miss the "hell" of the Tour de France?
