Yang Haitao was born deep in the mountains of Zhen 'an, and his parents were honest farmers. The poverty of his family made him realize the hardships of life prematurely. 1994, after graduating from junior high school, he hid the admission notice of key high schools, went into the provincial capital Xi 'an alone, and found a job as a dormitory administrator in Xi 'an Foreign Affairs College with the help of his classmates and relatives. Because of his hard work and willingness to use his brain, his five-year work has been recognized by the school leaders, but his stable work has not eroded his lofty ideals. Yang Haitao always has a restless heart. Although he doesn't know what he should do, he knows that this job is not enough to entrust his life.
One day, after receiving a phone call from a friend, Yang Haitao resolutely quit this very good job and went to Qujing, a stranger in Yunnan, to help his friend manage a good business project. After work, watching people around him either drink and play cards to kill time or do nothing, Yang Haitao always thinks that one should find a hobby to do. So, he often asks himself: What can I do?
When I saw a guitar training school, I signed up to study and played guitar for a few days. Suddenly, he felt that this was not what he wanted, so he stopped going.
He found a brand of "Qujing Taekwondo Association" near the guitar school. Knowing nothing about taekwondo, I went in unconsciously. After a day's trial study, he was fascinated by this Korean fighting technique, which combined the eastern fighting concept with Taoist philosophy. He felt that he had finally found his home.
Yang Haitao is willing to endure hardships and has a strong understanding. Taekwondo is a competitive fighting skill. In fact, its education and training contains a life management concept and a will-cultivating factor, which perfectly combines a modest and aggressive attitude towards life, and Yang Haitao can't help being deeply intoxicated by it. Three years later, he was qualified as a black belt teacher of the Taekwondo World Budo Alliance, and was arranged by Qujing Taekwondo Association to teach Taekwondo in its subordinate venues, which was well received by the students. During this period, I met Mr. He Jun of China Taekwondo Black Belt Elite League and got his guidance.
Yang Haitao is not an easy-going young man. At that time, Shangluo people didn't know what Taekwondo was, so it became his ideal to spread this skill and martial spirit of Taekwondo to Shangluo. After the idea was supported by Mr. He Jun, the young man with dreams left the teacher and returned to his hometown of Zhen 'an, where he was born and raised, carrying a backpack of Taekwondo books.
Bring Taekwondo into Shangluo
In 2006, Yang Haitao returned to Zhen 'an. Faced with the incomprehension of others, he can't remember how many roads he ran and how many times he said. Finally, he persuaded a vocational school to let physical education class, the first taekwondo student in the school, take his first step in promoting Taekwondo in Zhen 'an.
A year later, in Shaanxi Volkswagen Taekwondo "Xuanning Cup" elite invitational tournament, Yang Haitao students won three gold medals, two silver medals, five bronze medals and the first place in the total score, which showed the competitive strength of Taekwondo in this small mountain county for the first time and attracted the attention of colleagues in the province. Subsequently, in the exchanges between the Southwest Division and the Northwest Division, Zhen 'an's players entered the quarter-finals with the largest number and the strongest strength. Yang Haitao once again let Zhen 'an's name resound throughout the stadium.
The success of this competition has strengthened Yang Haitao's confidence in promoting Taekwondo in Zhen 'an. At that time, more students liked Taekwondo, and many rural children asked to learn Taekwondo skills from Yang Haitao. At this time, he met a student that he will never forget-Guo, a disabled girl with strong will.
Guo is a disabled girl in Zhen 'an bronze statue. Because of sepsis, leg muscles atrophy, in the provincial capital hospital treatment was rejected. After returning home, she was lucky to meet an old Chinese doctor named Zhou and received Chinese herbal medicine treatment to save her life. When the girl wanted to practice Taekwondo, Yang Haitao accepted her with a try, although she was a little worried.
Because Taekwondo pays attention to "courtesy, integrity, patience and unyielding", Guo's psychology has been well exercised during his study, and his expression ability has been improved in his speech before training every day. After a period of exercise, her muscular legs have been corrected and restored, and it is difficult for others to see that she is disabled. According to a friend of his, Guo found a job as a coach in a large gym in Shanghai and lived a self-reliant life. Guo said over and over again on the phone that coach Yang and Taekwondo gave her confidence and courage.
Yang Haitao realized for the first time that what he was engaged in was not only a martial arts promotion activity, but also a job that could change the fate of others through his own labor. When he achieved others, his own life value was also reflected. What a happy thing it is. He understands the difference between "Wushu" and "Wushu".
Yang Haitao is also very enthusiastic about social welfare. During the Wenchuan earthquake the year before last, he took the lead in organizing his own Taekwondo disciples to hold a large-scale benefit performance in Zhen 'an County, and raised more than 5,000 yuan in donations. He donated to the disaster area through the Red Cross at the first time, proved a fiery patriotism with his own practical actions, and interpreted the benevolent spirit of Taekwondo, which was commended by relevant government departments.
In previous Teacher's Day celebrations, Yang Haitao will carefully organize wonderful collective performances of Taekwondo to send blessings to teachers in the county.
Speaking of funny things, Yang Haitao said that once a 5-year-old pupil asked him to be a teacher to learn Taekwondo. Unexpectedly, when his grandfather saw the Taekwondo suit, he mistakenly thought it was a Japanese judo suit, and resolutely refused to let his little grandson learn Japanese things, which made coach Yang laugh and cry. In order to make Taekwondo recognized by the elderly, Yang Haitao came to the door again and again to explain that Taekwondo is not a Japanese judo suit, but a Korean national skill and Olympic event. Finally, he dispelled the doubts of the elderly and happily sent his grandson to training. Through his coaching work in recent years, Yang Haitao has more deeply realized the role of Taekwondo in changing one's spirit. He smiled and told us that his dream had just begun.
Struggle for the dream
20 10 1.2, the "Guangsha Cup" Taekwondo Competition in Shaanxi Division of China Arts Festival was held in xi 'an. Zhang Yongpei, a disciple of Yang Haitao, is only1.63m tall. As soon as he appeared, he faced the players of Xi 'an University of Science and Technology, with a height of1.94m.. The audience gave a well-meaning laugh to the players with different heights. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yongpei performed solidly in the competition. Huang Dongsen, who was only 8 years old, defeated Qunxiong, won the gold medal in children's lightweight taekwondo and won the title of "martial arts champion". Eight-year-old Eve Cai's potential in the competition is highly praised by many coaches in the industry.
Yang Haitao said, "My dream is that one of my disciples will win the world championship in the future. I may not see the day when this dream comes true, but as long as a person has a dream, he will be motivated. If he persists, he will always get the reward he deserves. "
