Return to the red age

Liu Hai was picked up by a car the next day, and the driver, Master Ma, was even more polite to Liu Hai. Liu Hai had a competition in the morning, the men's 200-meter freestyle semifinals.

There is a 400-meter final in the afternoon, because 400 meters consumes a lot of energy.

There were more people from the motorcycle factory in the stands today, almost all of them were here. After Liu Hai came on the stage, the people from the motorcycle factory shouted in unison.

"Comrade Liu Hai, come on."

"Comrade Liu Hai, come on." The neat voice made other people look at him, and many people asked about it.

"Is Comrade Liu Hai famous?" Someone just arrived and asked.

"It was broadcast on the radio and broke the domestic men's 100-meter freestyle record."

"It's so awesome. What kind of factory does it come from?"

"He's from Dongcheng Motorcycle Factory. He's a very talented young man. Look, it's the one No. 028."

"It's really fast, tsk tsk, why don't you make it to the national team?"

"How is that possible? You are the director of the factory. Do you know how to do it?"

"Of course not. With such talents, in future sports meets, the swimming event will not be... No. 1 again."

"Tsk tsk, there is another 400-meter final in the afternoon. I bet Comrade Liu Hai will be the first."

In fact, it is not just the motorcycle factory that is paying attention. The First Machinery Department has also begun to pay attention to bangs. After all, it has broken the national record. This is not an achievement.

During lunch, several leaders of the First Machinery Department met and said: "Comrade Liu Hai performed very steadily. In the 200-meter free semi-finals in the morning, his results have already broken the domestic record."

"Comrade Liu Hai was delayed. He lost his parents during the war when he was a child. He came to Pingchang and was adopted by a couple. The couple also passed away a few years ago. However, this boy has a fierce spirit. His village competes with the neighboring village for water. This kid beat several people and was knocked down."

"Well, after being beaten, it seems that my brain is not very clear."

"Maybe there's bruises or something."

"His academic performance is also good, and he ranks first in the literacy class."

"It's a pity that I found out too late, otherwise I could have gone to the Olympics, but now it's hard to go through the procedures."

"The Olympics side is still an unknown, and the other side doesn't recognize us."

"These bastards should have killed them all on the peninsula."

"Alas, Big Brother's people have been withdrawn one after another, and a group of experts left last month."

The rest of the people were silent. There were many factories under the First Machinery Department. Because Big Brother's experts left, the production of many factories was greatly affected, but there was no way. Big Brother would definitely not agree to his request.

"If Comrade Liu Hai wins three consecutive championships, should we reward him?"

"That's for sure. Anyone who wins a prize will be rewarded. But if you break the national record, I'm afraid the reward will be a little more."

"Well, let's discuss it after the game is over."

Liu Hai had dumplings with pork and cabbage for lunch, and some pure brewed vinegar, which was delicious.

In the afternoon, the broadcast started live broadcast of the men's 400-meter freestyle final.

Many people who couldn't watch it live listened to the radio afterwards. The radio used to broadcast other sports, such as track and field. There were many people competing there and the results were good.

Now that swimming has already broken a domestic record, the broadcasting side must focus on this side. This is the benefit of getting results and getting honors.

"Dear listeners, now is the First Machinery Ministry Staff Sports Meet. The men's 400-meter finals are here. The athletes have been getting ready. The top scorer is the one who broke the domestic record for the men's 100-meter freestyle yesterday in Kyoto. Comrade Liu Hai from Dongcheng Motorcycle Factory wears No. 028..."

Along with the radio waves, the broadcast was sent to countless radios and then to the ears of countless people.

In the motorcycle factory, people who were not watching the competition were in the auditorium, listening to the news on the radio.

"Comrade Liu Hai is now famous."

"This bangs is still new. If I had known earlier, I should have signed up to swim."

"If you go swimming like you, a dog will be faster than a dog."

"Pay attention to discipline." Someone shouted immediately.

A voice came from the radio: "It's 50 meters, Comrade Liu Hai is leading by a slight advantage. In the 400-meter freestyle competition, you need to master the rhythm. Comrade Liu Hai's rhythm is very good."

"It's 100 meters, and the second place is separated by Comrade Liu Hai."

"At 150 meters, Comrade Liu Hai is already far ahead. It's very good. He has grasped this rhythm very well."

"It's two hundred meters, and the rest of the team members are obviously a little tired. In long-distance running, and this kind of 400-meter freestyle competition, you must control your own rhythm. Once someone else takes the lead, the physical exertion will be too great later, and the ranking will be lower. not good.

"It's 300 meters. Comrade Liu Hai is already too far ahead. Comrade Liu Hai is very talented."

"Comrade Liu Hai reached the finish line first. It can be seen that Comrade Liu Hai is also very tired. The referee and recorder are confirming the results."

"Other athletes have also reached the finish line one after another."

"Good news, good news. Comrade Liu Hai's performance once again broke the domestic record. We congratulate the motorcycle factory for cultivating such outstanding talents, and also congratulate Comrade Liu Hai. Comrade Liu Hai will have a men's 200-meter freestyle final tomorrow afternoon. Welcome to the audience. Stay tuned, friends.”

Liu Hai is also very tired. It is better to swim 400 meters slowly by yourself. You have to control the rhythm in the competition. In fact, if Liu Hai changes his swimsuit or something, he might be able to break the world record, but there is no need. His main business will be industry in the future, because this year I didn’t even participate in the Olympics, and it would be in the 1980s to participate again...so the world record is of no use.

The factory director looked at the medals and certificates, and his mouth broke out in laughter. The leader of the First Machinery Department who presented the awards on the spot also praised himself for how well he had raised his troops... he was so flattered.

Thunderclap!

The factory director took Liu Hai and others back to the motorcycle factory. The motorcycle factory immediately set off firecrackers, then put a big red flower on Liu Hai, and then went to eat with Liu Hai surrounded.

The back door of the steel rolling mill is opposite the motorcycle factory. The steel rolling mill is also off work. Some people go through the back door and see the motorcycle factory setting off firecrackers. They ask curiously: "What is this motorcycle factory doing?"

"I don't know. I guess there are some research results."

"Maybe."

In this era, ordinary people have very few sources of information. Radio accounts for a small proportion of ordinary people, let alone television.

As for reading newspapers, come on, 70% of people are illiterate, even many factory leaders are illiterate.

In the motorcycle canteen, the factory director was speaking: "We must carry forward the spirit of hard work, learn from Comrade Liu Hai, bring glory to the factory, and gain honor for the factory. Our factory leaders have decided to kill a pig to eat tomorrow to celebrate Comrade Liu Hai's visit. Honors."

Wow! There was a sound of applause below, pig killing, this is basically a treatment only available during the Chinese New Year...
