"Fighting Boys" again out of Daliangshan

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 3rd. On September 2nd, "Xinhua Daily Telecom" published a report entitled "Fighting Boy" again.

Remember the scene 5 years ago?

In the summer of 2017, the short videos of the two teenagers in fighting competitions quickly circulated on the Internet.

On that day, in order to promote MMA (comprehensive fighting), the 14 -year -old Yi young man Ji Yi Ji Yi and his friends stood on the performance court from the coach of the Ensho Martial Arts Club in Sichuan. For the first time, the two teenagers had so many audiences. Although they were only exhibition games, they also played particularly seriously. They were fierce and fierce, and their tender face surpassed the stubbornness of adults.

This video then set off a lot of waves. Since then, the boys have left the clubs they have trained, returned to their hometown along the way to leave Dashan, and gradually faded out of people's vision.

In the past five years, Xinhua Daily Telecommunications reporters have many times to Liangshan to find out the later life of these boys. Unexpectedly, after the endless beginning, it was unexpectedly "later."

Return to Daliangshan

After the "Fighting Boy" returned to Liangshan, the reporter has embarked on this land many times to explore the life of the boys.

Lin Shucheng, then the secretary of the Liangshan State Party Committee, told reporters that the local area will fully consider the development of children's sports specialty development and cultural courses to choose suitable schools for them.

In September of that year, the Education Department of Liangshan Prefecture respected Ajie's wishes and arranged him and four companions in Shuanghe Elementary School in Mianning County. The children's hometown is not far away.

Shuanghe Elementary School has cultivated many sports specialty students for many years, and rose directly into Lugu Middle School after graduation. Lugu Middle School is a well -known artistic and physical characteristic middle school in Liangshan Prefecture, where 90%of students are from the countryside. Since 1986, the school has established training teams such as weightlifting, boxing, track and field, basketball, football, and aerobics to train a large number of outstanding athletes, especially in boxing projects. In 2022, many of the graduates of Lugu Middle School were admitted to the university through sports special recruitment, and one of them was admitted to Beijing Sports University.

In the view of Chen Donghu, the principal of Lugu Middle School, due to the deep history of history, many rural children's cultural courses in Liangshan were relatively weak, but Sports Special Education opened a door to the vast world for them.

"At that time, they received Ajie their clubs at first, but we always thought that children must be educated when they should be educated, and they can have the opportunity to choose their own life in the future." Chen Donghu said.

Ajie and friends who did not want to give up training went to Lugu Middle School Boxing Team for training at the elementary school.

Every day from 4 to 5:30 pm, after completing the school's course, they turned into "boxing teenagers".

Coach Bao Zhongwei still remembers what Ajie just came to train -very introverted, not talking much, there were some distrust in his eyes. Since then, he has often talked about Ajie. "I told him that you can make punch here, and you can also achieve the champion dream."

With the foundation laid at the club, coupled with system and professional training, Ajie's progress has made rapid progress. The coach quickly saw that he was a good seed — he was not tall, but his skills were dexterous, and more importantly, he had a unique toughness on Ajie. Boxing training was inevitable, but he never shouted pain Essence

After the other children were trained, they quickly slipped. Only he would take the initiative to practice for a while, which also led others to train together.

Over the years, the school has declined many media interviews for the protection of children, hoping that they can learn, live and train quietly. This is also what Ajie and their companions hope, they are afraid of the label of "fighting orphan". Because of their common experience, although they were different, they were holding a group.

Ren Xiaotao is the head teacher of Ajie's elementary school. She is the first person to open the inner world of this boy.

When the children first arrived, in order to help them integrate into the new environment as soon as possible, she led the boys home to eat and live as soon as she got the weekend. Whenever she went home on holidays, she always sent them to the station and told the shuttle bus. She never took the initiative to ask the children's past experience, but just told them that she would always be grateful, and in the future, she must also remember to go back and see her club teacher.

"These children lack the warmth of the home since childhood, and I want to make up for their lack of love." She said.

This meticulous care has never been before Ajie's growth.

Boys' hardships were moved to Ren Xiaotao, and they often learned very late even at her house on the weekend. When Ajie first came to school, there was almost no concept of strokes and strokes of Chinese characters. One year later, the Chinese test had been able to get more than 70 points.

Ajie is mature, independent, and strong in leadership; Xiao He is obedient and highly emotional; the built -in, quiet, and academic performance is the best; Xiaolong is more obedient but a little careless; Qupozi is moving and naughty ... Talking about boys, Ren Xiaotao Just like talking about your own baby.

And the evaluation of the boys is very consistent- "Teacher Ren is the best mother."

Out of Daliangshan again

"Ajie won the championship at the Provincial Games!" In August, a WeChat of President Chen Donghu of Lugu Middle School was blowing into the hot summer like a breeze.

On July 22 this year, the Boxing Competition of the Fourteenth Games of the Sichuan Provincial Games ended, the Liangshan team achieved extraordinary records, and the children of Lugu Middle School made a good results: Ji Yi Aje won the first place in 52 kg of men's group A, prestige Seed Jianping won the third place in the 56 kg of the men's group A, and Aiu Quipo won the fifth place in the 63 kg class of the men's group B. They are all the "fighting teenagers" of that year!

Today, Ajie is no longer the little boy who is crying and afraid to go home to plant potato, but recalls the past: "When I left the club, I was most worried about being separated from the partners, and I was worried that I had insisted on that so on. Long training can't continue. Now it seems that it is particularly lucky to be able to come back to study. "

Before returning to the campus, Ajie's world was full of UFC competitions (unlimited comprehensive fighting). He never thought that there were more stadiums outside of that, and he never thought that there were other life beyond fighting. Essence

Five years after returning to the campus, Ajie's idol is still the boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. Ajie always encourages himself with what he has said: "No matter how hard the training is, how torment, as long as he goes all out, the game will be able to play, and the game will be able to play. Very easy, so that we can become a champion. "

He also has a more clear example of the image -Wanggang. In August 2017, Wang Gang, who had gone out of the Boxing Team of Lugu Middle School, won the first Gold Medal of the National Games in Sichuan Boxing in 20 years after the Eighth National Games.

In the past 5 years, Ajie's favorite course is Chinese. He likes to read the beautiful sentences in the textbooks, and also yearn for many distant places depicted in it.

In 2019, Ajie won the men's 50 kg championship in the Sichuan Youth Boxing Championship. Since then, his boxing career has been "open" all the way: from 2020 to 2022, he won the 52 kg champion of the group B and 52 kg championships in the group B of the competition; in the National Youth Boxing Championship in 2020 He won the fifth place in group B level B.

Today, Ajie, who is about to be promoted to the third year, has been selected into the Sichuan Boxing Team. In September this year, he will represent Sichuan to participate in the National Youth Boxing Championships. A professional boxing road has been slowly rolling at his feet.

"I hope to take the road of professional athletes well and win glory for Sichuan in the future to win glory for us." Ajie said that he also hopes to be a boxing instructor in the future to bring the skills and warmth of this harvest. Bring to more children.

The story of "fighting boy" is not a special case. Every day and night walking in Da Liangshan, those fate that was changed by education hit our cognition again and again.

The 8 -year poverty alleviation has made the former poverty "hard bones" showing a brand new face, and the sad stories of those who dropped out of school due to poverty have also become the past.

Today's Liangshan land can't see the sheep baby on the hillside. The 60,972 students who had been sleeping in the "Control of Dropping Ball" system had all "sold" the number of out -of -school dropping out of school. In the village village, the most pleasant voice is Langlang's reading sound.

As a beneficial supplement to cultural education, sports specialty education has also been carried out on this earth. From the football team of "Cloud Elementary School" in Zhaojue County to the "Female Messi" in Budai to Boxing Music Boxing Middle School, the children of Da Liangshan showed the world to the world's healthy, brave and tenacious new appearance.

When the teenager steps out of Daliangshan again, their world is very different from the past.
