Zheng Bo, with a round head and a round brain, always seems to be a quiet person. In fact, he was not as dull as he looks when he was a child. At that time, he was an out-and-out naughty king-bullying female classmates, crying and playing tricks, and running home from the ball ... But it was in this stormy growth process that Zheng Bo's strong character was created. He said, "The willfulness and rebellion of my childhood let me know that I have experienced many things.

The most disobedient thing: bullying female classmates

When I was in primary school, it was very popular to draw a "38th parallel" between boys and girls at the same table. If someone crosses the "38th parallel", they will be condemned. But for Zheng Bo, he didn't take this business seriously at all. On the contrary, he will deliberately cross the "38th parallel" to annoy the girls at the same table, and then he looks like an unintentional prank.

On a quiz, Zheng Bo, who didn't get very good grades, scratched his head for a long time. Finally, he decided to cross the "38th parallel" and copy the answers from his deskmate. He turned away, but his deskmate deliberately blocked the test paper with his arm. Zheng Bo had to twist his whole body. The deskmate said, "You've crossed the line again. Hurry back to your side. Don't try to copy mine. Really annoying. " Hearing this, Zheng Bo flew into a rage: "I want to see it, why!" The deskmate resolutely refused to let Zheng Bo read the examination paper, so Zheng Bo pushed the girl at the deskmate to the ground with one hand, regardless of whether she was crying or not.

After school, the teacher called Zheng Bo's father to school: "You see how many times Zheng Bo bullied the lesbian school. Take good care of it when you go back. " Dad apologized again and again. He has been a frequent visitor in the teacher's office. He felt very ashamed. When I got home, my father gave Zheng a good beating and then asked him, "Do you dare to bully your deskmate in the future?" Zheng Bo shook his head, but Dad just gave up.

However, Zheng Bo, who got punched, seems to have a bad memory. The next day in class, the teacher just shouted "Please sit down" and only heard a plop. It turned out that Zheng Bo pulled open the stool at the same table when everyone stood up. He watched his deskmate fall "butt squat" and laughed. The teacher shook his head helplessly and said, "Go, you stand in the back as a punishment." Of course, after coming home this day, Zheng Bo ate a lot of fists.

Least favorite thing: getting up early and running.

Zheng Bo's father is a member of the badminton team in his factory and mine, and he has also achieved good results in the national badminton competition for workers in factories and mines. Long before Zheng Bo was born, Zheng Bo's parents had already thought about their children's future-if it was a daughter, let her go to college with peace of mind, if it was a son, let him take the road of professional badminton. Seeing that his son was naughty, the father decided to let Zheng Bo start to contact badminton at the age of 6.

Before entering the amateur sports school, my father would take Zheng to run and teach him to swing every morning. Zheng Bo was reluctant at first, because he preferred to play football with his friends on the playground. But after entering the sports school, Zheng Bo found that his level was much higher than other children, and the coach liked him very much, so he gradually realized that he should inherit his father, especially when the coach praised him and asked him to demonstrate. Zheng Bo felt that he was quite talented in playing ball. Shortly after Zheng Bo entered the sports school, he won the first badminton champion in his life in the national amateur sports school competition. Not to mention how proud he was, at that moment, he felt that he really liked that little badminton.

Nevertheless, Zheng Bo still has a headache for running every morning. Dad said: "Playing badminton requires good physical strength, and running in the morning is a must." So every morning before six o'clock, he would wake Zheng Bo, and they would run to the sports school from home and then come back from the sports school. Summer is fine. In winter, Zheng Bo doesn't want to get up at all. Every time his father calls him, he will say, "Five more minutes." Dad threw up a quilt, Zheng Bo curled up in a trembling voice, and dad opened the window again. Zheng Bo couldn't help getting dressed and getting up.

The most rebellious thing: being a deserter

1In August, 1995, Zheng Bo successfully entered the Hunan Provincial Team by virtue of his outstanding performance at the Provincial Games. When she left home for the first time, Zheng Bo was very uncomfortable. Seeing the back of his parents leaving, Zheng Bo couldn't help crying. Eating, living and training with everyone in the team made Zheng Bo, who had lived in a honeypot since childhood, unaccustomed. He is a little introverted and becomes more withdrawn. Plus, he couldn't speak Changsha dialect at that time, so he always felt isolated. He called home and cried that he didn't want to practice. He wants to go home. His father told him sternly: "Since we are all in the provincial team, we must stick to it and try our best to overcome all difficulties."

But Zheng Bo was still homesick, so one day after the training, he secretly ran to the long-distance bus station and took a two-hour long-distance bus back to Zhuzhou. He cried and said that he would never go to Changsha again and stayed at home for a week. After repeated persuasion from parents and grandparents, Zheng Bo finally compromised and reluctantly came to the provincial team again.

In order to prevent Zheng Bo from sneaking home again, the coach took all his pocket money and asked two roommates in Zheng Bo to keep an eye on him at any time. Zheng Bo, who was psychologically prepared at home, was even more depressed when he saw this posture, so he came back on the third night 12. When his roommates were asleep, he put on his coat, hat and scarf, slipped out of the dormitory, climbed the six-meter fence and climbed out regardless of the danger.

Because the provincial team was on a hillside on the outskirts of Changsha, Zheng Bo strode over the fence and ran down the hill. On the way, he passed a farmer, and the dog kept barking at him, which scared Zheng Bo to run like hell and never look back, and finally ran down the hillside. He reached out and stopped a taxi. After getting on the bus, he said to the driver, "I'm going to Zhuzhou, but I don't have any money on me now, but if you take me home, my father will give you the fare." At three o'clock in the morning, my father was awakened from his sleep by the escaped Zheng Bo and shook his head helplessly.

The coach called the next day: "Zheng Bo, you are amazing. Don't you dare go home by car in the middle of the night without money. Hey, stay at home for a while, don't come yet, and think about what you want. "

What I want to do most: to be an Olympic champion.

After staying at home for a month, Zheng Bo also felt bored. He often misses the thrill of sweating on the court, but he is still worried about playing for the provincial team. Grandpa, who loved him very much since he was a child, finally said that he would apply to work in Changsha and exercise with him. This made Zheng Bo decide to return to the team again.

At that time, his parents would give Zheng Bo a week's pocket money in 50 yuan, and grandpa would give him another 50 yuan. Every day after work, grandpa will come to the team to see his grandson with fruits and snacks and accompany him for a walk and chat. Gradually, Zheng Bo, who is introverted, no longer resists communicating with everyone. He became cheerful and could mingle with his teammates. After three months of adaptation, Zheng Bo finally integrated into the collective life. Grandpa was going to stay in Changsha for another two months. Zheng Bo instead urged, "Grandpa, I'm fine. You should go home quickly and don't have to come to see me all the time. Every time you come, I can't play with everyone. Don't worry, I won't run home again. " Grandpa was relieved to return to Zhuzhou.

Zheng Bo, whose mentality has been adjusted, is also more serious in training. He always thinks he has a great talent for playing ball. He no longer relies solely on cleverness. He cherishes every day's training, even the morning exercises he hated most when he was a child. At the city sports meeting held in An from 65438 to 0999, Zheng Bo cooperated with teammate Huang Sui and defeated Cheng Rui and Yang Wei, who were outstanding at that time, and won a precious gold medal for Hunan, which was also the first important champion in his career.

After winning the championship, Zheng Bo won a prize of 30,000 yuan. He bought a big TV for his family with 1000 yuan, and the first generation PS2 for himself with 2000 yuan. The rest of the money was deposited with his mother. Zheng Bo feels proudly that playing ball can make the whole family share the joy of victory with him. It is precisely because of his outstanding performance in the City Games that Zheng Bo was successfully selected for the China Youth Team, and won the men's doubles championship with Sang Yang in the World Youth Championship the following year, starting his own international journey.

Now, Zheng Bo is making the final sprint for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. He said, "My father told me that his greatest wish is that I can become an Olympic champion, and I will work hard for this wish and my own wish."
