The former "National Second Class Athlete" trained to "wither" after being demoted, and his instructor helped boost his confidence - "Athletes are back" - Fang Shaobo, Wang Chongjia, PLA Daily reporter Zhang Dongpan Illustrated: In the early autumn of Tang Jianping, in the hinterland of central Shandong, a brigade of the 80th Group Army organized a physical fitness competition for new recruits. In a fierce competition among 5 course objectives, a company recruit Wang Yijie won 3 medals, breaking multiple new recruit training records and becoming the focus of the audience. At the award ceremony, Wang Yijie's eyes were filled with tears as he delivered his acceptance speech: "Without my instructor Dai Lei, I wouldn't have achieved what I did today!" Off stage, Dai Lei smiled heartily, and his thoughts returned to the night before the new recruit joined the company - "New recruit Wang Yijie, graduated from the Capital Sports College with a major in sports training, excels in sprinting, and has won multiple honors during his time at school." That night, Dai Lei flipped through the military records, When the words "National Second Class Athlete" came into his eyes, he couldn't conceal his joy and said, "This is a good seedling! Sure enough, after the new recruits were disbanded, Wang Yijie demonstrated exceptional strength in his first three kilometer bottom line assessment, easily winning the first place in the physical fitness assessment for the new recruits, and winning praise from his comrades. However, not long after, Dai Lei unexpectedly discovered during a physical training session that Wang Yijie, who used to always run at the head of the team, kept running further back and sometimes even fell to the end of the team. Seeing Wang Yijie in poor condition, class monitor Wang Guangzhen couldn't help but urge, "Wang Yijie, hurry up!" Wang Yijie agreed, but his steps remained unchanged. For several consecutive days, his condition remained the same, which made Dai Lei feel very puzzled. Although he is a top athlete in physical fitness, why is he not actively trained? "" When he was in the next round, he was full of energy, but now why is he listless? "With various doubts, Dai Lei called Wang Yijie to the company headquarters and asked the reason in detail. However, after several heart-to-heart discussions, Wang Yijie's answer was the same: "Instructor, I have been thinking steadily lately and have no problems." Helplessly, Dai Lei dialed the phone of the head of Wang Yijie's new army company, trying to find a breakthrough from his past performance. The chief officer of the new soldier company told Dai Lei, "Wang Yijie not only excels in physical training, but also has a positive and optimistic personality, which is more adaptable to collective life." Dai Lei contacted Wang Yijie's parents again, but was also unable to find the answer. Unable to find the root cause of the problem, Dai Lei had to instruct Wang Guangzhen to care more and strengthen his assistance. After a period of time, Wang Yijie's training state improved, and there were fewer cases of falling behind the team. However, there were occasional occurrences of his mind wandering while marching in line or standing on duty. Dai Lei saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, but he knew that opening a person's heart knot was not an easy task. So, Dai Lei used his spare time to visit the platoon dormitory multiple times, carefully understanding Wang Yijie's past experiences and interests, and paying special attention to his every move. Upon learning that Wang Yijie enjoys playing basketball, Dai Lei invites him to play every weekend; When Wang Yijie was homesick, Dai Lei accompanied him to chat about family life and daily life... One to two, and their relationship became increasingly "iron", with more and more common topics. One weekend, on the way back to the company after playing basketball together, Dai Lei talked about his recent professional training. Wang Yijie hesitated and finally opened his heart. It turns out that before joining the army, Wang Yijie had participated in many events
