The story behind the Chinese gold medal winner (it should be touching, the more touching the better, and it should also have a literary flavor)

In 2005, the National Olympic Games selected newcomers to prepare for the competition. 19-year-old Pang Wei was selected into the national team with his excellent skills, renewing his relationship with Wang Yifu. At the Doha Asian Games, Pang Wei shot away the gold medal he should have won. Questions suddenly arose from the outside world, and it was Wang Yifu who stood up to speak for him.

In September 2006, Guo Wenjun finally took up his beloved pistol again. In the national team trials before the Doha Asian Games, Guo Wenjun made a splash and was successfully selected for the national team with an outstanding result of 13 rings ahead of Olympic champion Tao Luna.

Before the Beijing Olympics, Huang Yanhua used a provocation method for his disciples, "The Olympics are coming soon. If you win the gold medal, this will be the best missing person notice. Your father may come looking for you." In this way, Guo Wenjun, who had "special motivation", finally got the gold medal on his chest after a suffocating fierce competition.
