Chapter 86 Higher, stronger, longer!
The preparatory class exam is over.
This is Nankai University’s own exam, so the test papers are reviewed very quickly. There are not many students at Nankai University, and the teachers did not work overtime, so they finished correcting the test papers.
Then there are statistics.
In the office of the president of Nankai University, a knock on the door sounded. After Zhang Boling said "Please come in", a teacher walked in.
"It's Director Liu, sit down and say." Zhang Boling pointed to the chair in front of him.
After sitting down, Director Liu said with a strange expression: "Principal, the exam results of the preparatory class have come out."
"How are the grades? How qualified are you?" Zhang Boling asked.
Director Liu changed the topic: "Principal, do you remember the student we specially recruited two months ago to find Chen Qiang?"
"Of course I remember him. He broke the Asian record of 100-meter sprint at the Far East Games, so I recruited him to school." Zhang Boling paused and then asked: "Is there anything wrong with Chen Qiang? Can't adapt to school life? His hometown is Jinan. In the 17th year of the Republic of China, the whole family was killed by the Japanese and lived in Shanghai as a coachman. It has been three years since he left the school. Now that he has returned to school, it is normal that he has difficulty adapting for a while."
"Principal, Chen Qiang took the preparatory class exam." Director Liu said.
"Oh, are your grades bad?" Zhang Boling sighed lightly and continued: "After all, I haven't been to school for three years, so it's normal to lose my homework. It's fine to look for a few teachers and give him some lessons."
"Principal, Chen Qiang got the first place in this preparatory class exam." Director Liu's voice was abrupt.
"You mean Chen Qiang got the first place in the exam? How is this possible? He has dropped out of school for three years..." Zhang Boling first shook his head, then his face became gloomy, and then he asked sternly: "Did he cheat?"
In Zhang Boling's opinion, it doesn't matter if the grades are not good. Just try your best to make up for your homework in the future, but cheating in the exam is absolutely not allowed.
"Principal, I have also doubted whether he cheated, but except for the two subjects of Citizenship and Chinese, Chen Qiang scored full marks in other subjects." Director Liu replied.
"In addition to citizens and Chinese, that is, English, mathematics, physics and chemistry, history and geography, and biology, he all have full marks?" Zhang Boling widened his eyes in surprise. Nankai University has become a candidate who has been in full marks for many years and has never had a full mark on five subjects.
And it is also the subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry.
At that time, the full scores in English or Chinese were often seen. For example, when Mr. Qian Zhongshu applied for Peking University, English was full score, and when Mr. Luo Jialun applied for Peking University, Chinese was full score.
When Mr. Zang Kejia applied for Qingdao University, his composition only wrote three sentences: "Life is always chasing the illusion light, but whoever regards the illusion light as the illusion light will sink into the bottomless sea of suffering." The questioner Wen Yiduo was infected by the actions of these three sentences and directly gave him a full score in the composition.
Mathematics, physics and chemistry are very difficult subjects. Qian Zhongshu scored 15 points in mathematics when he was taking Tsinghua University, Luo Jialun scored 10 points in mathematics when he was taking Peking University, and Ms. Zhang Chong and Ms. Zhang Chong and also scored zero points in mathematics when he was taking Peking University. But in the end they were all admitted exceptions.
So in the exam at that time, it was much rarer to get full marks in mathematics, physics and chemistry than to get full marks in Chinese and English.
Director Liu continued: "No other candidates who participated in the candidates got full marks in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology, so it is basically possible to send Chen Qiang to cheat. I have taught Chen Qiang's answers with my own eyes, which is really excellent. Every question is correct."
Zhang Boling nodded, and Chen Qiang got 100 points alone, so the score was definitely not copied by others. Plagiarism cannot be better than the scores of those who were plagiarized.
Thinking of this, Zhang Boling smiled in surprise.
"I thought I was just recruiting an athlete, but I didn't expect to recruit a top student! This child can be focused on training in the school. Maybe he will become a scientist if he doesn't become an athlete in the future!"
...
If Chen Qiang was still a coachman or a newspaper boy, he would definitely not do such a thing that could be a show-off. But now Chen Qiang is already the "fastest in Asia", so in many aspects, there is no need for Chen Qiang to continue to hide his weaknesses. If Chen Qiang used to go out of the novice village empty-handed and needed to develop lewdly, Chen Qiang now has a set of primary equipment that can be a little bit sluggish.
What's more, Chen Qiang is now living with the allowances of Nankai University. Nankai University is a private university, so Chen Qiang must show his excellence and make Nankai University realize his ability so that the allowance can be secure.
Just like the sponsors of athletes in later generations, they definitely hope that the athletes they sponsor will perform better and better, and their popularity will become higher. In this way, the sponsors will be willing to pay, and the sponsorship fees will also increase in the future.
If athletes think about the development of vulgarity every day and don’t seek any exposure, the sponsor will definitely not be willing to continue paying.
This is the case with Chen Qiang now. If he wants to get the allowance, he has to be very awesome.
...
The Beijing-Tianjin area has always had a culture of bathing, but in later generations, this bathing culture has faded a lot.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the streets of Tianjin were full of bathhouses, and even the advertisements in newspapers were the most advertisements of bathhouses. Moreover, the price of bathhouses was not expensive, and ordinary people could afford them.
When Chen Qiang came to Tianjin, of course he had to experience the culture of bathing. So one weekend, Chen Qiang came to Tianjin and was about to find a bathhouse to take a bath.
At that time, Tianjin bathhouses were more famous, including Huaqing Pond in Quanyechang, Longquan Pond in Dahutong, and Yuqing Pond in Nanshi. This famous bathhouse is of course more expensive, and ordinary mid- and low-end bathhouses are much cheaper. In addition, Tianjin also has special women's bathhouses, but most of the customers of female bathhouses are not good women, but kiln sisters who are engaged in the flesh-skinned business.
Chen Qiang went directly to Huaqing Pond in Quanyechang. When he came to the door of Huaqing Pond, he saw two small red lanterns hanging high. These two red lanterns also have particularities, meaning "The small red lanterns hanging high, and the cloud boards come early when they are guests."
It was early morning, and more than a dozen young and old gathered in front of Huaqing Pool’s door, but none of them went in. After Chen Qiang inquired, he found out that he was waiting for the soup in the pool to change the soup.
Changing water in a bathhouse is not called changing water, but it has to be called changing soup. Generally speaking, bathhouses in Tianjin will change soup in the morning or at noon. Many people will specifically wait for the bathhouse to take a bath when changing soup, so as to be clean.
After a while, the guy from the bathhouse walked out, holding a cloud board in his hand, and then the guy started knocking on the cloud board with "ding bell" on it.
Knocking the cloud board means that the bathhouse has changed the soup. The young and old men waiting around walked into the bathhouse. Other passers-by heard the sound of the cloud board knocking, and some people came over.
Chen Qiang followed the person in. After buying the tickets, the guy shouted "Please inside" and led Chen Qiang to a bed with a willow frame on the ground, a large bath towel, and a pair of wooden slippers.
The guy said, "Shoes, hats, baskets, and property are handed over to the counter!"
Chen Qiang took off his clothes, then walked into the bathtub, soaked his whole body in the pool water, stretching his limbs comfortably.
Next to the pool is a master who is scrubbing and waiting for business. There are pedicures, massagers, feet pinchers, head shavings, cupping, etc. in the outer room. Except for those who sell big swords, they are all available.
Chen Qiang had almost finished soaking, so he walked out of the bathtub and wrapped it in a big bath towel. He planned to find a master to massage first, then pull out a cupping to unblock the meridians and promote qi and blood circulation.
The master's massage method is very good, with even force and facing the acupoints. Chen Qiang suddenly felt that the money was worth it.
"This guest is really strong. Are you practicing martial arts?" The massage master chatted with Chen Qiang.
Tianjin Wumen was prosperous and many people practiced martial arts, so the master regarded Chen Qiang as a martial arts practitioner.
"No, I am a sports practitioner." Chen Qiang replied.
"Oh, it turns out that I am practicing sports." The massage master responded, not knowing whether he understood what sports is.
After a while, Chen Qiang went to the cupping master again, and the cupping master was the same. He asked Chen Qiang if he practiced martial arts. He also said that if Chen Qiang had blood stasis on his body, he could find him to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.
After taking a bath, Chen Qiang put on his clothes and stood beside the big mirror in front of the door to tidy up his clothes.
"The massage master and the cupping master both said that I am strong. Now when I look in the mirror, I seem to have become stronger." Chen Qiang looked at himself in the mirror. He found that he had grown taller and stronger.
Then he touched his crotch again, feeling that it seemed to have become bigger.
"Can I say my body is starting to develop!" Chen Qiang was delighted.
For men, the age of sixteen to eighteen is a peak period of physical development, and most men will grow taller and fatter at this age.
There are many such examples in the future NBAs, such as "Brother Thick Eyebrow" Anthony Davis, who was only 1.9 meters tall in his first year of high school, and grew to 2.08 meters after graduating from high school. "Warcraft" Howard played point guard in his first year of high school, and played forward in his third year of high school, and directly played center after graduating from high school. Jeremy Lin, a Chinese, was only 1.61 meters tall in his first year of high school, and has exceeded 1.9 meters tall after graduating from high school. The most famous one is "Admiral" Robinson, who was less than 1.7 meters tall when he was 16 years old, and he was 1.98 meters tall when he graduated from high school. When he participated in the NBA draft after graduating from college, he was 2.16 meters tall.
Science has long proved that sports can indeed promote the physical growth and development of teenagers. Messi, who suffers from dwarfism, also grew to 1.7 meters with scientific training.
As a professor at the University of Sports, Chen Qiang has seen many cases of athletes growing taller, so when he saw himself in the mirror, he realized that as long as he had enough nutrition and reasonable physical exercise, his body would inevitably become stronger.
Chen Qiang had always been resentful of his physical talent before. Compared with Liu Changchun, Chen Qiang's physical talent was indeed too average.
But now, Chen Qiang saw hope. He knew that his body could become stronger and his physical fitness could become better.
For athletes, better physical fitness means better results can be achieved.
"It's great, my body is still growing, I can still get taller, stronger, huh, longer."
