Profile

Winning a bronze medal in the Olympics despite being physically disabled but not mentally disabled

Yu Qimin, born in 1978. When he was 8 years old, his left leg was accidentally run over by a machine and 12.5 cm of his leg was amputated, making him a disabled child. In order to prevent his legs from shrinking, during the summer vacation of the second year, his father Yu Xinsen, who loved sports, handed him over to Zheng Zhifu, a swimming coach at the Putuo District Youth Sports School, hoping to enhance his physical fitness and stay healthy through exercise.

Yu Qimin showed good swimming qualities during the training process. His physical disability further stimulated his fighting spirit. Every day he walked from Shenjiamen No. 1 Primary School to the swimming pool for training. Along the way, the new flesh at the amputation site was rubbed out with blood by the prosthesis, and after being soaked in the pool water for more than an hour, the wound hurt like needles, but he never said a word. For a while, the swimming team of the junior sports school was changed to the fin swimming team. Since there was only one swimming pool, Yu Qimin could only train in the same pool with the members of the fin swimming team. Due to the varying speeds of swimming, Yu Qimin was repeatedly hit and scratched by the fins of the fin swimmers, often leaving injuries all over his body. But he gritted his teeth and persevered, never thinking of giving up.

The hard work pays off. In the second year of training, in the provincial disabled swimming competition held in Zhoushan, 10-year-old Yu Qimin defeated many adults and achieved third place. Since then, he has won many awards at the Provincial Disabled Games. In 1997, he won the first place in the 50-meter and 100-meter freestyle at the National Disabled Swimming Championships. Since then, he has won the first place in these two events four times. In 2002, at the Far East and South Pacific Games held in Busan, South Korea, he won the gold medal in the 4×100m freestyle, silver medals in the 50m and 100m freestyle, and bronze medal in the 200m medley. In 2004, as the first athlete from our city to be selected for the Paralympic Games, he won a bronze medal in the S34 level 4×100m relay freestyle competition at the 12th Athens Paralympic Games.

Character return visit

Want to contribute to the cultivation of Zhoushan competitive sports seedlings

Dial Yu Qimin, the Athens Paralympic S34 level 4×100 meter freestyle swimmer The bronze medalist in the relay race is undergoing arduous training in Hangzhou to prepare to represent our province in the National Paralympic Games to be held in May this year. He said that he came to Hangzhou for training in October last year. Four months later, his results and condition were pretty good. Yu Qimin said that after participating in the Paralympic Games, he rested at home and stopped training for a long time. Now that he can recover like this, he feels pretty good.

He feels it is particularly meaningful to be able to serve the disabled

In March 2005, Yu Qimin joined the Putuo District Disabled Persons' Federation. Yu Qimin said that doing daily work is very different from being an athlete. In the past two years, he has been mainly responsible for registering and making disability certificates for disabled people. Some time ago, the District Disabled Persons' Federation carried out sight-restoring operations for disabled cataract patients, and he helped to find out, register, contact, and organize them; when the district's severe mental illness patients were intensively admitted, he began to contact and rush for them, and helped them to be cured and discharged. Distributing medicines and providing services to patients... In the little things he did for the disabled, he learned about many conditions that were invisible to him as an athlete. In the past, as an athlete, as long as you had a strong will and could endure the hardships of training, coaches would usually handle other matters. But now, he said, some disabled people living on subsistence allowances are really pitiful. They are poor and hard-working, and their living conditions are very poor. Compared to them, I am very lucky. He finds it particularly meaningful to be able to serve people with disabilities.

It is still hard to say whether he can participate in the Beijing Paralympic Games.

Although he has already participated in work, Yu Qimin has to represent our province in some competitions from time to time in the past two years. When it comes to the competition, Yu Qimin is a little depressed. He said that he is already 30 years old, and his physical fitness and physical fitness have begun to decline. He has to admit that the peak period of sports has passed. Although I have been training very hard now, it is still difficult to return to the previous state. Yu Qimin said that he will not back down. Although he has not thought about challenging his former self, he must work hard to defeat his current self.

When it comes to whether he can participate in the 2008 Paralympic Games, he thinks it's really hard to say now. He thinks it's too random. His own condition is a very important factor, but there are many external factors. For example, in the past two years, many old athletes have retired, but there are also many young athletes emerging. It is hard to say whether I have the ability to compete with them. Whether you can compete or not depends on your condition at that time.

To achieve good results, you must have long-term and systematic training

Yu Qimin is an accomplished disabled athlete. When asked if he had ever thought about cultivating athletes with disabilities in Zhoushan, His mood was noticeably higher when the athlete was young. He said he really wanted to do this, but training athletes requires venues and funds, and Zhoushan's conditions are relatively weak. Yu Qimin said that he is the only disabled athlete in Zhoushan who has achieved good results in major competitions, and his appearance was accidental. He had never thought about becoming an athlete, and did not go through systematic training. Instead, he only wanted to strengthen his body. The idea of ????physical fitness is unintentionally developed during play. Later, I stopped practicing, and it was difficult to maintain my condition. Good sports prospects and potential players must receive long-term and systematic training under the guidance of experienced coaches in order to maintain good results. To develop sports for people with disabilities, there must be a foundation. He very much hopes that he can contribute to the cultivation of competitive sports talents.

Social Impact

Shining through brave struggle

After returning from the Athens Paralympics bronze medal, Yu Qimin suddenly became a household name in Zhoushan. The first athlete to win a medal at the Paralympics brought honor to his hometown. On October 8, 2004, the Putuo District Disabled Persons' Federation held a grand ceremony to welcome the triumphant son; on the afternoon of October 25, Yu Bennian, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shenjiamen Street, Putuo District, and others came to visit him and presented him with a bonus of 10,000 yuan. , and encouraged him to train hard and strive for better performance at the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games; in November 2004, Yu Qimin was included in the list of the city's top ten outstanding young candidates; in the same month, he was also selected by the Zhejiang Youth League The committee awarded the "Zhejiang Youth May 4th Medal"; in December of the same year, Yu Qimin was awarded the honorary title of "Zhoushan City Athletes with Outstanding Contributions to the 12th Paralympics" by the municipal government.

Yu Qimin’s deeds aroused strong repercussions in the city’s Disabled Persons’ Federation system. The Disabled Persons' Federation mobilized extensively and called on disabled people to learn from his spirit. Similarly, Yu Qimin has also become a representative of the advanced nature of Communist Party members and a role model for Communist Party members to learn from. Party members of the Party Branch of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation said that Yu Qimin's spirit of constant self-improvement demonstrated the pioneering and exemplary role of a Communist Party member, which not only served as an example for the majority of party members, but also strengthened the masses to work hard and achieve outstanding results in their respective positions. determination. As workers with disabilities, we should learn from Yu Qimin’s spirit of perseverance and unyielding when encountering difficulties, so as to better serve the disabled with more outstanding work. Zhang Yanhong, a staff member of the Municipal Disabled Persons' Federation, said that many disabled people would choose to give up and wait for help from others when faced with difficulties in life, but Yu Qimin chose to fight on his own. Yu Qimin’s deeds should be known to more disabled people and more disabled children.

We pursue beauty and perfection. However, the Venus with a broken arm fascinates us, and the charm of the beauty that is enhanced by the fragmentation is shocking.

The Paralympics is a stage for disabled people to compete, a stage for disabled people to show their tenacity, and a stage for disabled people to fight against their fate. It makes people cry; it makes people intoxicated.

The shining point of the Olympic Games is strength, wisdom, and technology; the moving point of the Paralympic Games is the courage to overcome difficulties, the determination to challenge life, and the strength to face life head-on.

The Olympic Games is a sports event that makes people all over the world go crazy. However, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you at the Paralympic Games?

Perhaps, we are used to it, we are used to our health, we are used to their existence, and we are used to ignoring them.

Paralympic Games, it’s you, let us pay attention to them, let us take off the coat of indifference, let us appreciate the power from disability and its shocking beauty...

We may not have thought about the meaning of disability What, because we have never experienced the pain of having a disability; we may not realize the inconvenience of being disabled, because we have never experienced this inconvenience; we may not know how difficult it is to accept a disability, because we have never accepted it. A cruel torture.

Perhaps our indifference to them comes from not knowing or even understanding, and it is difficult for healthy people to understand the meaning of disability that can only be known and felt through the small details of life. The Paralympic Games provide a stage for people with disabilities to show themselves and tell others - I can do it! It allows disabled people to gain confidence, gain honors, and gain achievements; it allows them to get rid of the dissatisfaction of daily life, gain happiness and success through sports!

The Paralympic Games tells us that disability is not a shame. It allows disabled friends to obtain the same rights as healthy people, the right to hold sports games, the right to participate in sports, the right to receive respect and honor, and the right to receive applause. The right to enjoy the sunshine calmly...

The Paralympic Games allows us to see the unlimited potential of people and how strong they can be; the Paralympics will discover the virtues that are usually hidden and tell us about the disabled How lovely, how wonderful, how perfect friends!

Pay attention to the Paralympics, pay attention to life, pay attention to perfection, and imperfection is also a kind of beauty. The beauty lies in facing the nightmare of disability calmly, the beauty lies in the persistent pursuit of life, and the beauty lies in being strong against huge difficulties...

The faces full of perseverance, and the efforts of each and every one of them. Their hard-working figures make me admire them, make me feel distressed, and make me shed tears.

Pay attention to the Paralympics and remember the heroes—disabled friends who are ordinary and extraordinary in life.

Pay attention to the Paralympics and show love - tell the lonely hearts that we have not forgotten them or ignored them.

Pay attention to the Paralympics, disability is also a kind of beauty.
