Born in 195 1, Tianjin, director of table tennis base in Xiangjiang Road Primary School, Hexi District, Tianjin, and a senior middle school teacher. 1990 was rated as the top ten teachers in the district; 1995 was rated as a national excellent teacher; In 2000, he was rated as a national model worker. He won two Tianjin model worker awards, one model worker collective award and the title of meritorious teacher, and was honored to be the torchbearer of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. During his coaching, he brought out four national team players, including Ma, Li Yan, Zhou Xingjiang, Liang Na and Bayi Team.

Xiangjiang Road Primary School is a traditional table tennis school in Tianjin. Over the years, the school has sent more than 70 table tennis players to the national team, Tianjin team, other provincial and municipal teams and Tianjin Institute of Physical Education and other municipal universities. Ma, Zhou Xingjiang, Li Yan and other national players are all outstanding talents in this school, and behind these achievements, we can't do without a meritorious coach who is selfless and asks for nothing in return. He is Xing Heli. Xing Heli, 63, has been teaching at Xiangjiang Road Primary School for 39 years. Although he has changed from a masculine young man to an amiable old uncle, his love for table tennis and his earnest and responsible heart for children have never changed.

On the Pride of Disciples

1975 Xing Heli was transferred to Fujian Road Primary School (listed in Xiangjiang Road Primary School in 2004) as a table tennis coach. The conditions were very difficult. The school set up two three-layer board tables with peeling paint as table tennis tables, and the training ground was a narrow corridor. After the earthquake, Xing Heli took Ma, Zhou Xingjiang, Zhou Peng and his family to live on campus. Besides teaching them to play ball, they must also take care of their daily life. "At that time, it was very cold in winter. Before going to bed, we have to give children a briquette stove, cover them with quilts at night, and some even wet the bed. Don't worry less! Get up in the morning and beat 20 cents of soybean milk, eat it with steamed buns, and then start training. At that time, children could bear hardships, which also created their excellent will quality and tenacious fighting spirit. " Xing Heli takes a bag of rice, a bag of stick noodles, a jar of pickles and a bowl of sauce as food from home every week, and then practices with the children, with all eyes on these little disciples.

After practicing for less than two years, Xing Heli's four apprentices occupied four seats in the top six of the basic skills competition in Tianjin primary and secondary schools. The fourth grade horse won the singles championship in the fifth and sixth grade group and debuted. Then, several children successfully entered the Tianjin team, while Ma was selected for the national team. After sending away a batch, we welcomed the second batch ... Later, Xing Heli began to accept female disciples, and Li Yan and others were his favorite students after Ma and Zhou Xingjiang. "I remember when Li Nangang came, she was a little fat, not like playing ball, but at the age of 6, she was full of energy and domineering. I'm sure she can do it! In recent years, we have sent too many children. In addition to what I just mentioned, there are many great players! " In a few words, Xing and Li did not leave his "children" and treated them like father and son.

Recalling the past is like yesterday.

Xing Heli has not received professional table tennis training. He learned all his skills from a middle school PE teacher. It can be said that it is a "small miracle" to bring out so many excellent players. Xing Heli said: "I just transferred to another school and let me concentrate on table tennis. How should I teach? " I can only read books by myself, find some old teachers to learn, and then slowly realize that the more I learn, the deeper I become. Telling children has to be translated into vernacular, and they can't understand those terms. "

I talked with Xing Heli for a long time, and his topic always revolved around how to teach children to play ball and their past events. We asked him to talk about himself, but Xing Heli felt that there was nothing to say. Indeed, Xing Heli has no other hobbies at ordinary times. He devotes himself to table tennis and children, and even his body is branded with "traces" related to it. Xing Heli has a small scar on his head. One year, when he was riding a bicycle to send his students home, he met a garbage truck without brakes. He hit his head on the iron handle and went to the hospital for three stitches. "The child is fine!" Xing Heli laughed.

Say table tennis is full of emotion.

Decades of overwork will inevitably affect Xing Heli's health. His right arm is deformed, he can't straighten, and his heart has problems, all of which are caused by years of hard work. "My right arm is playing ball. I swing in one position every day, which is too much. I have 200 balls in a big bowl, so I am alone and have no spare time. I didn't understand scientific training at that time, but it won't be like this now. The heart is tired, and there is supraventricular tachycardia, but it is not serious. Pay more attention to rest and you will be fine. " At present, Xing Heli has reduced the amount of exercise. He plays ball with his children for about an hour every day, and his schedule has also been adjusted to ensure that he has a rest before 1 1 at night. Sometimes he will go to bed early when he feels tired.

Xing Heli believes that table tennis is a very good form of exercise and fitness. Playing a 2 1 minute race is equivalent to running 3000 meters, which is a lot of exercise. "Playing table tennis is good for body coordination, brain reaction and thinking. And can effectively prevent Alzheimer's disease. For example, to accurately judge how to handle the ball at the moment of receiving it, this process requires brains. " Xing Heli told us. "Suitable for all ages, lifelong benefit" is Xing Heli's concise and affectionate evaluation of table tennis.

Above, Xing Heli carefully cultivated table tennis seedlings. Chen she
