His whole dress was frozen into popsicles countless times, but he smiled and accepted his wife's beating on the ice with a stick.
The value of the film lies in that it does not tell the truth stiffly, but infects the audience with facts by restoring the details of real life. Zhao Hongqi is not a Gao Daquan-style image, but has some minor faults such as "cunning", "shameless" and "stingy".
In order to save money, he got into a fight with the vegetable dealer. In order to supplement the nutrition of athletes, he was cash-strapped and willing to be ridiculed by fishmongers. In order to hurt him, the fishmonger deliberately advised him to go to Songhua River to catch free fish. Instead, he accepted the fishmonger's "coup" and really cut ice and fished.
The protagonist stutters a little, and many things in life are relatively dull, but one thing he has never been vague is his skating career. His own income is meager, but he is willing to post money to buy skates for players from poor families. In order to let the players go to the provincial capital skating rink for training, he did not hesitate to use his father-in-law to pour several cars of coal to sell. Behind the "stealing machine" is a heart dedicated to the cause.
The most human scene in the film is that after many years, some people become world champions, while others accomplish nothing. When a team member led by Zhao Hongqi rushed up to beat and scold him, an important life question emerged from the mouth of the "dissatisfied wife": "You tricked us into world champions, and now I'm just a cleaner."
Indeed, just like when the Olympic Games were held in Beijing, we often heard different voices. Some people cheer for the champion, and some people are sarcastic: there is only one champion. What about others and losers?
I can't do whatever I want, but I have a clear conscience. After watching this movie, I deeply felt the Olympic spirit of "higher, faster and stronger". Not to let everyone win the gold medal, but to let everyone break through themselves, be brave in making progress and move forward unswervingly.
