Who is the strongest person?

1 This is a message sent to me by Liu after the second right knee operation in the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University. During that time, the news that Faye Wong gave birth to a baby was hyped by the media. It is rumored that Faye Wong gave birth to a daughter in Union Medical College Hospital that day. I replied, "Hey, you and Faye Wong had surgery on the same day!" Zheng Guo simply answered "Oh". That day, I didn't send him another message, because I clearly knew that if he only replied with such a word "Oh", it would only show that he was in pain!

Please allow me to record the darkest part of Liu's life in flashback, and at the same time, I implore you to read these little things, hoping that you can know like me-who is the strongest person in the world!

On Monday, May 15, I just came back from filming Chen Qi's Exercise in Zhengding countryside. The next day, Zheng Guo will be hospitalized for a general examination, and on Thursday, he will have a second operation, which means that he will spend the next few months in the hospital again. Everyone thinks that we should spend a few days with him before his operation!

I was taken aback when I saw Zheng Guo in karaoke at night. He has a round head and a round brain, shaved his head and walked into the box, wearing sportswear and carrying a schoolbag, like a young monk! No one asked him why he shaved his head and hair, nor did he have to ask him why, as if people all over the world knew why.

That night, I sang a love song as usual When the songs were playing, China complained to me, "Can you stop singing these songs? It makes people feel uncomfortable! " I said, then you sing a song, he said, forget it, I lost my voice last night! I ignored him and finished singing. Zheng bowed his head for a moment, covered his face with his hand, and then said nothing.

Zheng Guo only stayed for half an hour and left. We were dissolved. I can't help it, he has too many friends, and he will attend several parties tonight! The next morning, he checked himself in the hospital. His girlfriend Zhao is on a business trip in Hong Kong, and his mother Xue is still in Wuhan. ...

More than a month later, before the team competition of the Bremen World Table Tennis Championships, the table tennis team collectively conducted closed training in Xiamen and Zhengding. Seinfeld (a reporter from Table Tennis World) and I went to the sports hospital to see the country. It took a lot of effort to find Zheng's ward. There are two beds in a small room, one for him and the other for Zheng's mother. Under the TV in the room, there are complete sets of DVDs, all of which are TV plays and many movies. Zheng Guo said with a smile, there is no TV series he hasn't seen. Four people are a little crowded in the narrow room, and Seinfeld is bigger, which makes the room smaller. When we entered the door, Zheng's mother stood up and wanted to stay outside. Seinfeld and I soon invited her to stay and talk to us. Zheng Guo said: "Nothing, I have been with my mother for several months, and there is nothing to say." Typical language in which a son is spoiled by his mother.

Chatting, Zheng Guo excitedly showed us the wound on his knee, a long scar, and shouted, "Mom, where did you put the steel nail?" Show them! So Seinfeld and I excitedly went to see two small steel nails wrapped in small plastic bags. They have been in Zheng's knees for several months.

Further on, it is the test time of "through Bremen" after the Spring Festival. On the first night of the game, Liu asked the team doctor to take it to the training hall to watch the game. China walked into the training hall with two crutches, and all he saw along the way were bright smiles, teammates, coaches, aunts in the training hall, unknown reporters and CCTV staff who broadcast the game live. Seeing this scene, I was thinking, Liu is the only player who can enjoy this kind of treatment, right?

Guo put down his cane and sat on the bench on the sidelines. Everyone suggested that he sit at the edge of table 1 to watch the game, so that he could see it more clearly. Guo said no, it's more convenient to sit here with your legs on the stool. Xue, the director who broadcast table tennis on our station at that time, also saw it, and the live camera was brought directly to it. At this time, Kong ran excitedly, ignoring the camera around him. He kept talking and dancing with Zheng as if he hadn't seen him for years. Zheng also listened happily, and the smiling faces of his teammates kept flowing.

That night, we made a special trip to leave Zheng Guo in the museum and gave a live broadcast to our sports world. Nearly 1 1 after the live broadcast, I sent him back to the sports hospital. This is the first snow in 2006. My car was placed under the table tennis hall, and all the windows were frozen in the wind and snow. Warm wind blows hard, and cold water pours on the windshield to thaw. The country sat quietly in the co-pilot seat and watched me busy. When the hard ice melted a little, I drove retrograde from the training bureau to the sports hospital and apologized all the way. Zheng Guo always comforted me: "I admire people who drive manual gears the most. I think people who drive manual gears drive very well! " On that snowy night, Zheng's mother has been standing in the snow, waiting to open the door of the sports hospital for her son. This scene made me scold myself to death: what nonsense reporter? It's a crime to toss patients like this for your own show!

In the next few months, Zheng's efforts to return to the negotiating table will be arduous. According to him, in the first few days, he cried every day in order to tear open the adhered muscles!

I also have an appointment with Zheng Guo. I must take a picture of him standing at the table for the first time after his injury. I want all those who like him to see that table tennis is back in Liu's hands! But wait, wait until the team competition in Bremen is over.

On May 8th, the fifth day after the China table tennis team came back from Bremen, all the members of the first and second teams of men and women had outward bound training, and a mighty team of 100 people arrived at an outward bound school in the suburbs of Beijing, including Zheng, who was limping. Other players are challenging themselves, crying and laughing happily, while Zheng Guo walks slowly in circles accompanied by the team doctor.

Remember to watch the players do the "retreat" project. Liu told me with a dignified face that Zheng's leg was not good and the broken part was not good. I stared at him in surprise, and Liu forced a smile: "It is said that one fifth was not connected, or it may be that one fifth is useless at all!" Practice and see! "

On May 12, Zheng Guo told me that the doctor would consult his leg the next day. I said to let me know as soon as I got the result, and he agreed. Everyone who comes into contact with Liu can easily become his friend, especially the reporter who interviewed him. Liu is very friendly and frank in his life. To paraphrase an old saying, he never pretends. I will never forget that after he beat Bohr in seven sets at the Shanghai World Table Tennis Championships, he played seven more sets in the mixed doubles final. When we tried to pull him over for an interview, he had no strength to cross the baffle beside the table, and the whole person crossed his legs and got stuck on the baffle. No one knows how tired Liu was, but it was in this case that he waited on the sidelines for at least half an hour and accepted our live interview.

I didn't wait for his call the next day, and I didn't reply. At two in the afternoon, I called him.

"What was the result of the negotiation?"

"They said they would have another operation!" Zheng's voice has changed a little.

"ah? Why? Can't you treat it conservatively? "

"They said no, I can't play if I don't do it!"

"You promised to have an operation?"

"I don't have surgery, what else can I do!" There was a cry in her voice.

My heart is like knocking over a five-flavor bottle: "Don't make a decision yet, we will play the World Table Tennis Championships next year!" " "

"What else to play! I don't even want to fight, I can't win the championship anyway! " The mood in this country is hysterical.

Everyone who knows or doesn't know Liu knows how much he wants this ball! Whether it is the most classic reversal of Jin Cuizhu and Bohr in his life, or any game he has experienced, Liu is directly equivalent to the word "unyielding". The game that caused his right knee patella fracture was a team selection for the men's team to compete for a place to visit Europe. It is reasonable to say that Liu Cai is the main force, and visiting Europe is not an important event for him, but it is in this humble team competition that he can stamp his patella to save a ball! What kind of blow does such a person experience to say such a thing as "I don't want to play"?

"Who are you with?" I asked.

"Zhan Sen, he is having dinner with me."

"Don't make any decision now, just calm down."

"all right."

After hanging up the phone, I firmly believe that China will adjust, just as we have always believed that he will win the World Table Tennis Championships!

On the morning of May 14, I continued to call to pay attention to Zheng's mood. He told me calmly that he had decided to have an operation.

"Can't you treat it conservatively?"

"No, they said that if you don't do it, you can't play, and you will limp in the future."

"Liu called you?"

"Yes, I called yesterday afternoon."

"When is the operation?"

"Thursday."

From fragile to strong, from hysteria to restoring calm, Liu decided to break his leg and reattach it, which took less than a day! I don't know how Zheng spent the night. Will he relive every pain he has experienced since he was injured in June 5438+February 65438+April 2005? How did he explain to his 53-year-old mother why he had to have another operation? Will you come to Beijing again? How does he park his new car in the garage? Tell him to stay here by himself for the next few months! ……

On May 17, Cai Zhenhua, assistant director of the State General Administration of Sport, mentioned Zheng Guo's injury at the press conference of the 2006 Luneng Cup China Table Tennis Club Super League, saying that he needed another operation because of poor recovery. Therefore, the Chinese Table Tennis Association has signed a special policy that Liu's Zhejiang Haining Hongxiang Club can receive two foreign AIDS at the same time.

On May 22nd, at noon on the fourth day after Zheng Guo's second operation, Liang Huimin, a reporter from Table Tennis World, and I visited him in the inpatient department of the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University. The hospital stipulated to visit patients in the afternoon, and Aunt Xue came downstairs to meet us. Lying in the bright ward of the Third Hospital, Zheng Guo looked in a good mood and joked with us that now he knows better than the doctor, and the doctor himself didn't break his leg and was inexperienced! Nice to meet my son. Aunt Xue also complained to us that now she feels that she has not served well, and she has to do everything herself!

I brought a small DV myself, and I plan to take some photos to record the days when China was hurt. I saw this, and he said sensitively, stop filming! I'm surprised to hear that. Why?

"After the first operation, I left everything at home, crutches, leggings and wheelchairs. Now I'm using it for the first time. You see, these are just taken from home. " As he said this, Hua pointed to the crutch standing against the wall. "I'm going to burn them all this time, one by one!" "Bite your teeth, cut your teeth!

"Where is Zhao?" I asked Zheng Guo's girlfriend.

"When I go to work, she usually comes to accompany the bed at night and weekends, and my mother can rest."

"She work so busy? Still always on business trips? "

"That is, I can't even play the ball. She has to earn money to support her family! " After saying this, he lay there laughing by himself!

Many old fans' understanding of Liu began with the classic battle of the century against Jin Cuizhu; Other new fans like him, starting with the Shanghai World Table Tennis Championships against Bohr. Slogans such as "Marry Liu" and "Liu, a hero to resist US aggression and aid Korea" have been sung for several years. I think that for a long time to come, as long as the World Table Tennis Championships are mentioned, no one will forget the seven match points that Jin Cuizhu lost, and no one will forget Bohr's lonely expression sitting on the floor, and these are just the past for Zheng.

He is not a hero, he is just a 26-year-old boy with a 24-year-old girlfriend. It's just that he happens to be engaged in playing table tennis, so his family has to face more pressure and responsibility, and even bear the accidents brought by his profession. And the pressure of family also makes the country stronger, such as how to stand up again! How can I throw away my crutches! How can I pick up the ping-pong racket again!

On the fourth day after the second operation, we chatted with him and found that he was moving the toes of his right foot. I asked him if he was itchy, and he said he was stretching his legs, fearing that the muscles on his legs would contract too much and the recovery time would be slow.

On June 9th, the football World Cup began, and the national spring came.

I asked him, "Do you like watching football?"

"yes."

"Just like hosting the World Cup for you!"

"Hey, have some of this!"
