How many people have been touched by the 3-year-old crying baby photo of Liao basketball fans' circle of friends?

This is a distressing and warm picture. On the 20th night, after the CBA Finals, this picture was once again circulated in the circle of friends of Liao basketball fans.

On the left cheek of a small round face, there is a scarlet letter "Liaoning Basketball Must Win" on a blue background. It was a moment to look back. A pair of beautiful big eyes were full of glittering and translucent tears and full of expectation. This picture, together with the poem "Don't cry, children", spread in the circle of friends of Liaoning basketball fans at the beginning of the CBA finals and became a beautiful scenery in the CBA finals.

Three-year-old Bao witnessed the defeat of Liaoning team in the second finals with her father on March 13, which was an emotional moment for her to look back at the stadium after the game.

Photographer Guo Tao is 62 years old. On that day, two people who were nearly 60 were in the same mood, but as a professional photographer, he needed to put away his mood and capture Benxi people's deep affection for basketball.

A few years ago, when he retired, he began to tell the story of basketball with the lens: the players struggled, the fans shouted excitedly, the players embraced and interacted with the fans, and the feelings and understanding of Benxi people on basketball all appeared in his lens.

Gao Hongbin, secretary of the municipal party Committee who personally felt the status of basketball in the hearts of Benxi people, vividly said: "Basketball is like a key, which opens the heart of the city that has been silent for many years, and it is like a torch, which rekindles the passion of the city."

Walking into the streets of this city, all the information about basketball comes to mind. Basketball has brought this city into the national vision, greatly enhancing the sense of pride, honor and belonging of people living in this city, and making people here pay more attention to their homes and their cities. "Come to Benxi to watch the ball in winter" has become a fashion in Liaoning and Shenyang. Whenever there is a game, the fans in the surrounding cities braved the cold to watch the game. With the good news from Liaoning men's basketball field, Benxi and Liaoning basketball team have become the favorite of Liaoning people. A citizen proudly said: "At that time, we were proud of Steel City, and now basketball has become the pride in our hearts."

The enterprising spirit on the basketball court is also infecting the city and enhancing its self-confidence. A few days ago, Benxi senior three students who are preparing for the college entrance examination used the break time to write a song "Spend a Long Time with the Liaoning Basketball Team" for the Liaoning men's basketball team with simple equipment, which was widely spread on the Internet. Lyrics "You played many games, so what if you didn't win the championship?" You have become a hero in our hearts "touched many people. "Their fighting spirit is our greatest encouragement. We send songs to the Liao basket and give impetus to the examination room. " A senior three student said.

Like the students preparing for the third year of high school, Benxi, an old industrial city, is also facing the test of reviving its glory. Qu Gang, vice mayor in charge of sports in Benxi City, said that in fact, basketball has passed us far beyond sports itself. We have learned a spirit from it, that is, fighting to the end and never giving up. This is exactly the positive energy that our city needs on the road to revitalization.

The idea of enjoying the happiness of basketball game and enjoying life is also quietly immersed in people's hearts. Huang Xiaohong, a reporter who has been reporting people's livelihood news in Benxi Radio and Television Station, is not very enthusiastic about sports. In recent years, basketball has become the most talked about topic outside her work. She constantly posts news and feelings about the game in her WeChat circle of friends, telling touching stories during the game. "Every time I interview people's livelihood news, I have to talk to them about basketball first and get close to them at once." She said.

Under the guidance of CBA, nearly 800 amateur basketball teams have been established in the city's party and government organs, enterprises, institutions and towns, with more than 65,438+10,000 people participating in basketball. In addition to basketball, more citizens began to choose different fitness programs according to their own interests, and the sports industry also quietly emerged in this city, from the original single sales of sportswear and supplies to sports training, sports intermediary services, sports tourism and other industries that meet the needs of citizens' fitness.

Benxi's small basketball conveys charm, emotion and spirit.
