On the morning of the 20th, the torch relay of the 14th National Games and the Paralympic Games was moved to Hancheng, Shaanxi Province. Accompanied by the guards, 65 torchbearers marched forward bravely in the hometown of Shi Sheng Sima Qian, letting the flames of dreams cheer with the rhythm of the heartbeat.

As the 38th torchbearer, Xue Qingwei, a member of the Environment Department of the Judo Competition Committee of the 14th National Games, ran the 80-meter distance with his head held high. It wasn’t until after lighting the torch for the next shot that he took a few breaths, slowly put on a mask, and turned to become a cheering crowd.

“This short run in just a few minutes is the full historical record of my struggle in the Judo stadium for more than two years. The glory of the torch bearer belongs to all the people who participated in the construction of this stadium.” He said.

In July 2019, the gymnasium of Xi’an Jiaotong University Basic Education Park in Hancheng City, which was determined to undertake judo competitions, started construction. Xue Qingwei, who originally worked in the Planning and Construction Division of Hancheng Culture and Tourism Bureau, was transferred to the construction project at almost the same time and was responsible for handling Various procedures, perfect design schemes, and coordination of various departments to get through the blockages and difficulties in construction.

“When I first entered the station, it was still a wasteland. People were sitting in a simple board room office, and the wind of the Yellow River was blowing.” He said frankly that he didn’t even expect that a modern gymnasium could be completed in 11 months. The face is presented to the world.

The “post-80s” Xue Qingwei now has his hairline receded close to the top of his head. During the period when he was tasked to take charge of this project, the WeChat name “Calm Ding” was very restless and he kept losing his hair in worry. “At first, I really didn’t know. After all, Hancheng has never built a stadium of this size since the establishment of the city. I am afraid that it will be screwed up in our hands. But afterwards, we feel that the responsibility is more and more important. For the Games, the people must watch the games under the best conditions,” he said.

Not long after the construction of the gymnasium started, it encountered a sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic. Xue Qingwei said that early 2020 is a critical stage of the project. The main gymnasium is about to be topped off, and the opening of the auxiliary gymnasium is about to start. However, many construction workers from Shandong and Sichuan on the construction site are still stranded in their hometowns. He hurriedly mobilized all forces, and his team went to the surrounding areas of Hancheng to recruit workers. With the joint efforts of everyone, the project finally caught up with the schedule.

“At that time, it was early for me to go home at ten o’clock in the evening. I was often busy until two or three o’clock in the morning. I went home and took a nap on the bed until 7 o’clock before rushing over from the city.” Xue Qingwei said, occasionally at seven o’clock in the evening. After get off work at 8 o’clock, when she gets home, her daughter will still ask: “Why does my dad come home so early today?”

After the highest-standard gymnasium in Hancheng was completed in June 2020 and the acceptance was completed in November, on the eve of the Spring Festival this year, Xue Qingwei suffered from chest tightness and shortness of breath for several days. He was diagnosed with coronary heart disease only when he went to the hospital for an examination. After lying in the hospital for more than half a month, he “consciously” returned to the gym after his physical condition recovered slightly.

“The next test match and the preparations for the race are coming. It is as large as the discussion of the competition plan, as small as the color and position of a sign. I am not at ease. Familiar?” he said.

It’s like watching his children go from infancy to learning to walk, talk, and grow up. The more Xue Qingwei sees the venue, the more beautiful and energetic he is. Sometimes he doesn’t care about tiredness and contributes to the place. “The race is its coming-of-age ceremony. The previous test match was a rehearsal of this ceremony.” He said.

As an important part of the basic education park of Xi’an Jiaotong University in Han City, the gymnasium covers an area of ​​32 mu, with a total construction area of ​​24,000 square meters, of which the main competition hall has 3,100 fixed seats. In addition to undertaking judo events, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton and other events can also be played here, and there is a cage football field outside the hall.

Han Linsheng, deputy director of the Judo Competition Committee of the 14th National Games and deputy director of the Hancheng Cultural Tourism Bureau, told reporters that as a gymnasium built on the campus of the school, after hosting the National Games events, it will not only be able to meet the different stages of the park in the future. The physical exercise and training needs of students also provide Korean citizens with a place for leisure and fitness activities.

“The National Games is the country’s top sporting event. I am very lucky and proud to be able to participate in the preparations for the 14th National Games. With this experience, I believe that there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome in the future.” He said. (Finish)Return to Sohu to see more
