As the world's top event, the Olympic Games will win global attention every time, and it has become the dream of countless athletes to be on the Olympic stage.
Athletes at the Olympics represent not only themselves, but also their country.
The combination of personal and national glory has made the competition for Olympic tickets fierce, and the journey of athletes to realize their dreams has become extremely difficult.
On the journey to the Olympic stage, there is no shortage of Olympians who have missed the Olympic stage, but it is still a pity that the athletes who have missed the Olympic stage due to accidents.
For example, 17-year-old Sang Lan was paralyzed in gymnastics in 1998, which made her miss the Sydney Olympic stage that she longed for.
On July 21, 1998, as usual, Sang Lan continued to train the gymnasium in order to realize her Olympic dream, repeating her familiar gymnastics movements over and over again.
If there is anything different from usual on this day in 1998, it is the switch of venues, on this day, Sunlan stood on the field in New York, USA, representing the country at the 4th Friendship Games in New York, USA.
Sang Lan is warming up for the upcoming Friendship Games.
In Sunland's heart, this sporting event is to accumulate experience for the 2000 Sydney Olympic GamesBut what people didn't expect was that during the warm-up process of this friendly games, Sang Lan lost the qualification to the Olympic arena forever.
Why?
At that time, 17-year-old Sang Lan was warming up, she had a dream, and her eyes were firmly practicing gymnastic movements, but at the moment of stepping out, for some reason, she paused a little this time, and flipped one more circle in the air, and did not complete the expected action.
Sang Lan's head fell heavily on the gymnastics field, and Sang Lan lost consciousness at the moment of landing, and the whole person collapsed on the warm-up field of the 4th Friendship Games in New York, USA.
Seeing this, the people on the warm-up field of the Friendship Games immediately ran to Sang Lan, but Sang Lan was completely unconscious at the moment, and no matter how the people around him shouted, he couldn't open his eyes, so the organizing committee immediately decided to suspend the game and send him to the hospital for **.
But what people didn't expect was that Sang Lan's fall not only prevented her from participating in the Fourth Friendship Games in New York, USA, as scheduled, but also shattered her dream of participating in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.
Seventeen-year-old Sang Lan was diagnosed with high paraplegia, which made it impossible for him to stand up again, let alone perform difficult gymnastic moves.
Before Sang Lan fell in the warm-up competition, Sang Lan had been cultivated as a seed player in the gymnastics world, and Sang Lan's hard-working personality made her win many first places at a young age, which can be described as an excellent athlete with both talent and hard work.
The fall of such an outstanding athlete not only makes people in the sports world feel sorry, but also the public who hear the report.
Life is often not smooth sailing, often accompanied by ups and downs and suffering, facing the ups and downs and sufferings in life is a compulsory course for everyone.
For Sang Lan, she became famous at a young age, and she was expected by the public, and through her hard work day and night, she continued to move forward towards her dream, but in a place closer to her dream, she was forced to return to the original point because of an accident, or even after retreating to the original point.
At a young age, her dreams were shattered by early announcements, and her arrival on the Olympic stage turned from close at hand to out of reach, and Sang Lan's injury was not only a heavy blow to her body, but also a heavy blow to her soul.
When Sang Lan's parents heard the news of their daughter's injury, they rushed to their daughter's side overnight, looked at their unconscious daughter in the ward, and thought that their daughter had trained day and night for her dream, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
In addition to worrying about her daughter's injury and coma, in Sang Lan's mother's heart, she constantly felt sorry and sad for her daughter.
At that time, people heard the news that the 17-year-old Sang Lan was paralyzed in the gymnastics arena, and they all felt sorry for this girl in her prime.
In the face of the blow of fate, there are people who are sluggish and sluggish because of the blow, and there are also some people who are optimistic and strong in the face of difficulties, and fortunately, Sang Lan belongs to the latter.
After Sang Lan woke up, she felt that her body was no longer as flexible as usual, and even needed the help of others to eat, drink, and Lazar, and the huge contrast in her body made Sang Lan feel uncomfortable.
When she heard that this situation might be permanent, Sang Lan did not cry, not only did she not cry, but she also smiled at the people around her, and even comforted her depressed parents, she told her parents that there was no need to worry, everything was fine, and the people around her were all infected by Sang Lan's positive and optimistic attitude.
When the setbacks and sufferings in life come and are determined to never change, what you need to learn is how to face them and create a new world for yourself.
After learning about her physical condition and recovery, Sang Lan did not feel sorry for herself, did not wash her face with tears, but carried out self-training strongly.
Sang Lan endured the stinging pain in her body, constantly raised her arm, and actively carried out ***
Maybe in Sang Lan's heart, it is already a blessing that he can survive with his head on the ground.
Although paralyzed, at least life is still there, life is still there, and there are infinite possibilities in the future.
With Sang Lan's continuous efforts, when Sang Lan was discharged from the hospital, she was able to dress independently, and her upper body almost returned to the appearance of a normal person, which was a great encouragement for Sang Lan.
Sang Lan has made great progress from being motionless when she first woke up and relying entirely on others for her actions to being able to dress and read her favorite books on her own.
Sang Lan's tenacious fighting spirit of athletes has also infected many people.
With her optimistic attitude and tenacious attitude to life, Sunlan has won praise in the society.
In 1999, Sunlan became the first Chinese to host the Empire State Building lighting ceremony in Times Square, and took on the role of torchbearer at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
But no one is perfect, everyone has two sides, and Sang Lan also encountered some things on the road of life, which caused Sang Lan's reputation to be damaged.
In 2011, Sang Lan formed a team of lawyers to re-sue her for injuries caused by her fall in 1998, and this time Sang Lan answered the cause of her fall positively.
Sunlan made it clear that the accident was not entirely her own, and that the gymnastics coach at the time, Belu, removed his mat before the warm-up, which had a great deal to do with the accident.
As soon as the news of Sang Lan's accusation that Beilu removed the mat and injured himself came out, all kinds of gossip spread, and the society was in an uproar, and the organizing committee promptly called up Sang Lan's ** when he was warming up at that time.
However, the picture in ** shows that it is completely different from what Sang Lan said, ** Coach Beilu not only did not remove Sang Lan's mat during training, but was the first person to go to Sang Lan after Sang Lan fell.
*Once released, there was no shortage of news in the society that the crusade against Sang Lan would take revenge, and the audience thought that it might be because of the deviation of Sang Lan's memorySang Lan's reputation began to be damaged, and after that, Sang Lan reached a reconciliation with the organizing committee and others, and the incident gradually came to an end.
But what is puzzling is that after Sang Lan sued the group related to her 1998 injury, she also sent her financial benefactors, the Liu family, to court.
Sang Lan took Liu Guosheng and his son, who were injured at the time, to take care of him and his son, and sent them to court, Sang Lan accused Liu Guosheng and his son of committing illegal acts against him, but because he was unconscious in his lower body, he did not know anything at the time, so it took many years before he began to file a lawsuit.
As soon as the news of Sang Lan's lawsuit against the Liu couple came out, she was once again put on the cusp, and the truth of this matter was not announced in the end, and the court held that it was impossible to file a case.
In 2016, Sang Lan said that he would withdraw the lawsuit and never sue again, and this farce came to an end.
For the truth of the matter, the audience does not know the full picture and cannot comment, but only from the perspective of rights protection, Sang Lan belongs to the female representative who bravely took up the law to defend her rights, as for the truth of the matter, there is a fair law to decide.
Sang Lan's strong and optimistic attitude towards life not only shocked the audience but also found a good relationship for him, Sang Lan's husband Huang Jian, as a retired athlete, empathized with Sang Lan's experience.
Huang Jian can feel the pain of Sang Lan can no longer be on the sports field he loves, in the process of contact with Sang Lan, he was deeply attracted by Sang Lan's optimistic and open-minded attitude to life, he has a solid family background, volunteered to be Sang Lan's agent, followed behind Sang Lan.
Companionship is the most affectionate confession, this confession was heard by Sang Lan, and gradually responded by Sang LanTwo soul-resonant people came together in 2013, and Sang Lan's happy life began again.
In the same year, Sang Lan became pregnant and gave birth to the crystallization of her love with Huang Jian the following yearSang Lan successfully relied on her courage to overcome her physical disability, and she, like every normal person, became the mistress of a family, the wife of a husband, and the mother of her children.
After obtaining compensation, Sang Lan opened her own ** to help people like her.
And for all kinds of misfortunes that happened in the past, Sang Lan seems to have long been relieved, the family is happy, life is happy, Sang Lan is like most of us, after experiencing all kinds of hardships, but also lived a normal life of happiness and happiness of his own!
Maybe she was grumpy, maybe she was rebellious, but fortunately, in the end, she still didn't forget her original intention.
In her mind, there is also a responsibility that belongs to public figures.
Although 17-year-old Sang Lan has encountered setbacks and hardships, she is optimistic; Entering middle age, Sang Lan never gave up, and shone in different fields, although the accident caused paralysis, but now Sang Lan still shines and lives a happy life.
Life is like a blind box, we don't know what we will face before we open it, we can't change the suffering in life, but we can change our mentality, to turn the suffering into a stepping stone for ourselves to move forward.
It's hard to pass the pass, life kisses me with pain, but I return with a song.
Sang Lan used her own experience to tell the world that it is never the suffering of life that can defeat herself, only herself, and only herself who can redeem herself.
Maintain an optimistic attitude, no matter what the scenery you experience, I believe that you will always open up your own world.
