He told his parents 16 years old to participate in the Olympic Games.

And become a bunch of girls' humanoid sandbags.

He is punched and kicked by a bunch of girls two or three hundred times a day.

I have to sew clothes for them at night,

People around him say he is worthless, unlike a man,

His parents were also very disappointed. They tried every means to persuade him to come back, but they were all rejected.

But it is such a "loser" who has cultivated countless world champions.

Although he didn't get on the podium, he hung 27 gold medals around his neck.

He is Liu, a female judo sparring partner.

Although he is not a champion, he has become the object of admiration of many girls.

How did he embark on the road of sparring? How has his life changed since he retired?

1987 Liu was born in an ordinary family in Qingdao, Shandong.

My father is an ordinary mechanic, and my mother is just an employee of the supermarket.

Although his grades are average, he likes sports very much.

Especially when I saw the boys in my class hug and fall in physical education class,

He has a keen interest in this sport.

He eats a lot as he grows older.

You can eat more than a dozen steamed buns at a meal.

Sometimes students look at his belly and ask him, "Liu, where did you eat steamed buns?"

He just giggled and scratched his head without saying anything.

Perhaps because of eating too much, my height reached 180 or more in my teens.

Bigger and stronger like a hill.

It is particularly abrupt among a group of junior high school students.

14 years old, a teacher from a sports school came to work in their school.

When I went back, I saw this strong child at a glance.

I can't help liking it.

So I went to him and said, "Your body is very suitable for learning judo. Do you want to come to our school? "

Liu didn't promise him for the first time.

Instead, he said seriously, "I need to discuss it with my family."

As soon as the teacher thought it was reasonable, he left his contact information and left.

After returning home, Liu told his parents about it.

Liu's academic performance at school has not been very good.

At that time, his parents often worried about their children's future.

Judo is not a popular sport,

But it also adds a way out for his future.

So he nodded: "Since you like it, go and learn."

Liu looked at his parents' gentle eyes and nodded firmly.

Then walk on this road that is destined to be full of thorns and never look back.

After coming to the sports school, Liu had a clear understanding of judo for the first time.

He watched the athletes beat their opponents with superb skills.

Suddenly aroused great interest, he quietly set a goal in his heart.

You must stand on the podium of the Olympic Games in the future.

With this belief, he comes to the training ground first and leaves at the latest every day.

Although I'm black and blue every time,

But he never wanted to give up,

At his insistence, an opportunity found him,

200 1 the coach of China women's judo team came to the sports school to select candidates.

I fell in love with this honest boy at first sight.

Choose him for the national team.

He happily told his parents that he had joined the national team.

My parents are also very happy, and I can't wait for the whole world to celebrate and tell everyone that my son made a promise.

On the day Liu left,

I also brought my son a bunch of delicious food for him to eat on the way.

On the way to Beijing, Liu took a berth.

He looked at the crumbling roof and became more and more excited. He didn't expect the national team to be in such good shape.

He was lying in bed, but his thoughts drifted away.

At this time, he didn't know that he would get farther and farther away from his dream.

At that time, Liu and several other players,

They followed the coach to the national team together.

But when they saw the training ground, they all froze.

This shabby two-story building in front of him can't convince him that this is the territory of the national team.

Liu asked the people around him, "Are we really in the wrong place?"

The people on the side glanced at him: "No."

At the moment, Liu felt a pot of cold water drenching him from head to toe.

To his despair, he was not chosen as an athlete at all.

The coach chose him because he wanted to practice for the female players.

His first opponent was Tong Wen. As soon as they met, he was thrown over his shoulder and fell to the ground.

At this time, Liu was only a teenager.

He was the captain of the Shandong team, but a girl fell, which made him feel embarrassed.

I cried on the spot.

Tong Wen stood by and looked at him coldly: "Get up and practice if you have nothing to do."

On this day, Liu felt that the days were like years.

Just when he wanted to give up,

He saw the pork belly on the table,

I couldn't help swallowing, and the idea of giving up vanished with the white mist rising in the food.

So he began to be beaten by all kinds of girls every day.

He is often black and blue,

Every night he can't sleep because of the pain.

With the passage of time, after a day of training,

He heard a member of his team complaining, "I really didn't know our future was like this."

Liu looked at him and said nothing.

A few days later, he found that the boy who was talking had disappeared.

His companions all said that he had left.

The boy's departure is like a beginning,

Gradually, the people around him left one by one.

Soon only he and Liu were left, looking at the slightly empty venue.

For the first time, I had doubts about my work.

He didn't know what it meant,

When he told his parents that he was on the national team,

He left in a hurry, how to face the ardent eyes of his parents?

But he can't realize his dream by staying here.

He thought of flinching.

The coach found something wrong with him and found him.

"Do you think this is meaningless?"

Liu didn't speak, but his eyes clearly revealed this meaning.

The coach sighed, "you know there is only one gold medal, and you will never get it as a sparring partner."

But your role is far greater than those athletes.

If you don't practice with them, they won't have a chance to touch the gold medal. "

Liu's words made him realize that he was not idle.

Since then, he has never refused a sparring job.

He began to learn the way of foreign athletes and practice with the players.

After the training, I will do something that I can.

Seeing that the athletes were tired every day, he offered to help them wash clothes.

If their clothes are broken, they will mend them, too.

Liu sparring with these athletes 16 years, and was thrown 2.84 million times.

But he never uttered a cry of pain,

When chatting with my parents, I also report good news instead of bad news.

He tried not to tell his parents that he was just a sparring partner.

But seeing him not playing for a long time, his parents became suspicious.

So my father came all the way to Beijing to see him.

Liu couldn't hide it, so he told his father, "I'm just a sparring partner."

After listening, my father said directly, "Is this the national team you are talking about? You might as well go back and be a mechanic with me. "

Liu refused his father: "I am needed here."

Looking at his son's firm eyes,

He sighed, left medicine for the wound and left Beijing.

On the eve of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games,

When he sparring with Liu Xia, Liu Xia couldn't keep up with her physical strength, so she didn't have the strength when she carried him.

If Liu falls on her at this moment, Liu Xia will probably be her life.

Not to mention the Olympics,

In an emergency, he reached out and propped himself up with his arms.

This protected Liu Xia,

But his shoulder was hurt,

The coach saw that he was sweating with pain and decided to let him rest.

But he gritted his teeth and persisted, just so as not to delay the competition of these athletes.

During Liu's boxing career,

He didn't get any salary in the first five years, and the state was not responsible for anything except food and shelter.

After becoming a full member, it costs several hundred dollars a month.

Later, with the retirement of time, his salary changed from 1500 to 2000.

And he is getting older and older. At the age of 32, his aching body did not allow him to continue his boxing career.

He left the stadium he loved with 2 1 0,000 retirement fee and 90,000 provident fund.

Before he left, he had trained three Olympic champions and more than 20 world champions.

After leaving the stadium, Liu opened a small supermarket.

The family worked hard together, and life was dull and happy.

On 202 1, a unit drama named "Ideal Shines on China" was broadcast.

In the third episode, someone saw a figure.

He is a big man and stands out among a group of women judo players.

He is Liu,

The audience watched him walk all the way from the ring,

Give up dreams and train so many athletes,

I played Liu, which added some truth to the story.

The audience was moved by his behavior.

What Liu did reminds people of a song "Nobody".

He also has his own dream, hoping to stand on the podium one day.

But he won more championships for China.

Willing to be the man behind these women.

Some people think that he is worthless, while others think that it is not worth it.

But whether it is worth it, only he knows. For Liu, for him,

As long as you can watch your sparring opponent take the stage to win the championship, that's enough.

Perhaps only the protagonist can get applause in this world.

But as a green leaf and a supporting role, who can say that Liu is not a hero?

Who says standing in the light is a hero?
