The plane crossed the sky.

Zhou Jing leaned against the window, staring at the vast white and thick clouds, wandering outside the sky.

2008 was really an unusual and extraordinary year for the Celestial Empire. Since the beginning of the year, major events have occurred one after another. Snow disasters in the south, Wenchuan earthquake, Beijing Olympics, Shenqi Flying Sky, melamine, economic crisis...

However, there are only two things that left a deep impression on Zhou Jing’s memory - earthquakes and the Olympics.

On May 12, a major earthquake in Wenchuan;

On August 8, the Beijing Olympics opened.

In more than two months, the people of the Celestial Empire experienced the test of blood and fire, life and death, and also celebrated the grand ceremony of flowers like seas and songs like tides.

On May 12, when everyone was full of anticipation for the arrival of the Olympics, history showed a strange and terrifying side, and a magnitude 8.0 earthquake occurred in Wenchuan.

The mother under the ruins built a bridge of life for her children with her body, and left her last wish on her phone: "Dear child, if you can live, remember that I love you!"

That year, Zhou Jing was eleven years old, a rebellious period that people hate dogs, and he didn't like basketball. Like every day in the past, he was hiding in the game hall and wandering in the arcade world of the Three Kingdoms War Chronicles. Suddenly, the machine started to shake. Zhou Jing thought that the people next to him were too excited and unhappy to play games. But then, the whole room began to tremble violently.

At this time, the owner of the game hall realized something was wrong! He began to yell hysterically and kept rushing people out. At that time, no one knew what was going on, but the strong sense of crisis still drove everyone to evacuate. Zhou Jing was also confused and quickly left the game hall with the crowd.

Soon, everyone knew that an earthquake occurred in Wenchuan!

As a Shudu native, Zhou Jing never associated the word "earthquake" with himself. Before that, he had never heard of the name Wenchuan. It has to be said that this is indeed too ignorant. But just after the earthquake, it became the deepest pain in the hearts of all Sichuan people.

It seemed that in just a moment, a county town disappeared! The mountains collapsed and the ground collapsed, and there was no sound at all.

Shu capital is not far from Wenchuan. For a long time, Zhou Jing's family was shrouded in the shadow of aftershocks. But in addition to fear, they were more moved.

During that period, there were crying and groans of separation and wounds, broken walls, orphans and widows, painful and torture buried deep in the ruins, and earthquake relief and rescue... When one side is in trouble, all directions will support each other. We will work together and work hard and storm. Inside and outside the Great Wall, from all over the country, from the front to the rear, we have money and money, and the people of the Celestial Empire are united and devoted themselves to the fight against earthquake relief. We feel the world, weeping ghosts and gods, and the fight against earthquakes is difficult and tragic.

There is no difficulty to defeat such a country! A few years later, Zhou Jing went to Wenchuan, and the small city had been reborn and full of vitality.

It is mid-April and everything is still calm. Zhou Jing doesn't know how he should face the upcoming disaster. No one wants to feel the experience again.

"Maybe, this is another completely different time and space..."

"I don't know if my butterfly can sniff a hurricane!"

However, even if such a disaster occurs, it is only a severe pain for this nation. A smart nation will learn much more from disasters and mistakes than usual. Just like the Prime Minister in that temporary high school classroom, facing the children who were still in shock and tears, he wrote the four big words "How difficult it will make a country prosperous" on the blackboard. After experiencing such a year of the Heavenly Kingdom, welcoming an era of rapid development.

From then on, the Celestial Empire accelerated its progress, just like it was a cheat, surpassing one old developed country after another in various fields. It was difficult to consolidate its country and open its territory; it was no difficult to lose its country or lose its prefectures. Many disasters and difficulties often inspire the people to overcome difficulties and make the country prosperous. This is also for "born in distress and dying in happiness."

More than two months later, when people outside the Heavenly Dynasty were worried that the Heavenly Dynasty would still have the ability to successfully hold the Olympic Games, the Heavenly Dynasty once again used their practical actions to let the world see their demeanor of the five thousand years of the Heavenly Dynasty.

On August 8, the Olympic Games that the people of the Celestial Empire, which have been hoped for a hundred years, and the Olympic Games that will come true will be grandly opened. There are warm cheers of the whole world, the sleepless nights like intoxicating, and the city that will never sleep with fire and silver flowers.

The summer vacation that year was the most obedient, sensible and longest summer vacation in Zhou Jing's history. This was unanimously recognized by Zhou Jing's family. Watching the Olympics became the thing he was most interested in every day.

Zhou Jing saw the magnificent "Bird's Nest", the blue and dreamy "Water Cube", and the crystal clear "folding fan"...

Zhou Jing saw the dazzling fireworks of the opening ceremony. That night, the fireworks turned into stars, blooming one after another along the north and south central axis, gathering together into the glittering fifth ring of the Olympic Games, making this ancient capital with a history of more than 3,000 years old and unable to sleep all night. That night, Zhou Jing heard people singing: "It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar", "All the worlds are brothers", ancient poems are loud and loud.

Zhou Jing saw Yao Ming leading Lin Hao, stalking to the center of the world. The bright five-star red flag fluttered in the wind. The moment Li Ning lit the torch, a fire dragon hovered to the top of the stadium. The light of the Olympics illuminated the entire bird's nest and also illuminated the glory and expectations of the 5,000-year-old ancient civilization of the Celestial Empire.

Zhou Jing saw that when facing the "Dream Eight", one of the strongest in American history, Yao Ming took the lead with a three-pointer for the Celestial Men's Basketball Team, instantly ignited the Wukesong Stadium and ignited Zhou Jing's original basketball dream.

Zhou Jing saw Liu Xiang's sad and lonely back. Before the starting gun was fired, Liu Xiang jumped out of the starting line. For the second start, Liu Xiang got up and walked slowly off the arena.

Zhou Jing saw Du Li crying after missing her first Olympic gold medal, and also saw her looking back and smile when she broke the record and won the gold medal.

Zhou Jing saw the Tianchao Table Tennis team that won four gold medals for men's singles, women's singles, men's team, and women's team. When the three-sided and five-star red flags were raised at the same time, Zhou Jing now felt that invincible was too lonely. Also invincible was the diving "Dream Team" that won 10 gold medals.

Zhou Jing saw the Tianchao's achievements in standing on the podium with 51 gold medals and 110 times, becoming the first Asian country in Olympic history to top the gold medal list.

Zhou Jing couldn't understand many projects, but it did not prevent him from experiencing the spirit and atmosphere of "higher, faster, stronger". This had a huge impact on Zhou Jing! Before that, he had never felt the strong sense of pride that brought him to his heart when the five-star red flag was rising. So much solemnly in his subsequent student careers, Zhou Jing seemed particularly solemn at the flag-raising ceremony every Monday.

In these two completely different atmospheres, like ice and fire, the people of the Celestial Empire suffered great sorrow and enjoyed great joy. They were sorrowful but not discouraged, and the whole country rose up to fight; they were sorrowful but not arrogant, and everyone cheered in unison. Therefore, the moving figures of the Celestial Empire that year were all the Celestial Empire.

Zhou Jing was in a dilemma. He didn't want to see the disaster happen, but he didn't want to miss that prosperous era. But no matter what, the memory of 2008 is being unveiled bit by bit under the rolling wheels of history.

Yao Ming did not return to the Celestial Empire with Zhou Jing. Since the injury in February this year, Yao Ming has been actively treating it. This incident once made the fans of the Celestial Empire very worried. They were worried that Yao Ming would not be able to participate in the Olympics due to injury, and that if Yao Ming lacked Yao Ming's men's basketball team, their strength would definitely fall a lot.

In fact, Yao Ming is recovering well now. At least Zhou Jing has no problem catching up with the Olympics through the two encounters with the opponent. Of course, the memory picture also verifies this guess. Yao Ming returned to the national team about 20 days before the start of the Olympics and continued to serve as the flag bearer of the Tianchao team and compete in this Olympics.

Zhou Jing will always remember what the other party said - please be sure to keep my Olympics.

When he said this, Yao Ming had announced his current season reimbursement. He had a stress fracture on his left foot. After evaluation by his attending doctor, he suggested that Yao Ming give up participating in the Olympics. If he insisted on playing, it was very likely to be at the cost of shortening his career.

The Internet describes Yao Ming's treatment plan at that time as follows: Cut off the heels and toes, where the bones are broken, and fix them with new nails. Pull out the three nails that were punched in last year, reset the fragments on the bones, fill them with steel nails, and re-fix them with steel nails.

Zhou Jing never considered the authenticity of this statement, but the result was obvious. With Yao Ming, the Celestial Men's Basketball Team showed amazing combat effectiveness at the Olympic Games held at the doorstep of that year. Although the final result was still not able to break through the quarterfinals, the performance of this Celestial Men's Basketball Team made everyone look forward to the future. Two years later, Yao Ming was reimbursed again due to injury, but he had no choice but to announce his retirement when he was supposed to be the peak age of a professional player.

Yao Ming is definitely not the most outstanding basketball player, but in Zhou Jing's heart, he is indeed the most powerful basketball player. Most of his contributions are related to the Celestial Empire, and NBA is just a small part.

Many people argued for Yao Ming, but Zhou Jing felt it was unnecessary. When choosing to take this path, Yao Ming himself must have known the consequences, but he still resolutely chose. In his heart, it is obvious which is more important.

This happened to be Zhou Jing’s inner thoughts. In the past, there was no chance, and others looked down upon him, so they didn’t dare to think of such things; now that he has the chance, Zhou Jing made the same choice as Yao Ming. In this country, there are always many people who use their own ways to safeguard her majesty. However, they were mostly unknown in peaceful times.

Hartford did not open a flight to the Celestial Empire, so Zhou Jing had to choose to fly back to Beijing in New York. It was absolutely boring to stay on the plane for nearly fourteen hours. Fortunately, Zhou Jing fell asleep soon.

In his dream, he was successfully selected for this Celestial Men's Basketball Team. Under the leadership of Yao Ming, they passed the hurdles and stood on the podium... Celestial Men's Basketball Team completed a gorgeous transformation at the doorstep...

In the dream, the mountains and rivers of the Great Heaven are safe...

In the dream, Zhou Jing was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers in the Los Angeles area and became a superstar. Joining forces with Kobe, Gasol to rebuild the Purple Gold Dynasty...

When the plane came over Beijing, Zhou Jing, who had already woken up, suddenly became nervous.

As a bystander, he must know that there is a word that can well accommodate his current feelings, that is, his feelings of being close to home. Of course, this is not the original time and space, but everything is the same except his consciousness. Zhou Jing didn't know how to face everything he was about to see! Especially in Shu Capital, the city where Zhou Jing had lived for more than 20 years, he had no idea how to face it.

Two people in time and space live in the same city, but have completely different life trajectories.

One is a child from an ordinary working family, who has to fight for everything by himself; the other is born into a wealthy family and has a golden key in his birth. If it were the former, Zhou Jing would basically not have the opportunity to study in the United States. The expensive expenses are enough to consume the savings of the entire family for many years.

Logically speaking, Zhou Jing made a fortune! After all, when he woke up, he changed from a poor boy to a rich young master. But he was not happy about this. A superior material life is not the only pursuit of people.

Everything I once had disappeared in a blink of an eye...

This is Zhou Jing’s favorite song. The better the living conditions now, the more Zhou Jing missed his past life, which was ordinary, happy and enjoyable.

But the obsession in his heart made him unable to face everything now completely with the emotions of a stranger.

In fact, these two life trajectories intertwined in Zhou Jing's consciousness, which had no intersection at all, have always troubled him. However, when he was in Connecticut, he was busy with training and competition every day, and Zhou Jing did not have so much free time to think about this issue. But now, he was about to arrive in the Heavenly Kingdom, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to escape!

It is still possible to avoid this period, but when he is really selected for the national team, his foundation will soon be clearly revealed. By that time, everyone will know where Zhou Jing comes from and what he has experienced. At the same time, his parents, relatives and friends will also know about this. In this way, what Zhou Jing has to face is not a series of calls and information!

"It's such a headache!"

"Oh! I'm going to meet again, but I can't hide from you..."
