On the stadium of a school in Guangzhou, two bicycles were left and right, and a temporary badminton network shelf was formed.

As early as 10 years ago, the badminton population in Guangzhou has reached 3 million. The mayor's "Badminton Badminton" is even more "ceiling" of amateur events; Guangzhou is the only Grand Slam city in China that has successfully held all major games in the World Badminton Federation. It can be said that the efforts of several generations of Guangzhou badminton people have continued to polish the beautiful business card of Guangzhou's "Badminton Capital".

Starting: The path of struggle of returning overseas Chinese youth

Old neighborhoods familiar with the history of Guangzhou Sand may know that in the open space in front of the Dongqiaokou of Sandi and the former French Oriental Banking Bank, it used to be the first outdoor badminton court in the country. As early as the seventeenth year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, this movement from the United Kingdom was taken to this open space, making Guangzhou the first stop for modern badminton to enter China. Xiang's novel movement.

However, the development of badminton in Guangzhou is dating back to the 1950s and 1960s. Overseas Chinese, such as Fu Hanyu, Hou Jiachang, etc. have made great contributions to the development of badminton in Guangdong and even Chinese badminton. Essence

Fu Hanzhang was born in Sixian, Indonesia in 1941. Without obtaining any professional badminton guidance, Fu Hanzhang won the men's single runner -up at the North Sumatra province's badminton competition at the age of 17, and received the appreciation of Mr. Sudman, then chairman of the Indonesian Badminton Association, but he did not choose to stay in Indonesia in Indonesia. Instead, he was returned to his motherland with his passionate father.

Fu Hanyu still remembers a scene where he passed through the Malacca Strait to return to Guangzhou in 1960. Back to Guangzhou, Fu Hanzhang joined the Guangdong team. I have a strong desire to win glory for the country, but I also made a lot of jokes in training, because I have not been trained overseas overseas. At first, our physical fitness was poor.

Prior to 1962, the members of the Guangdong Badminton Team Qing Yixia was "returned from the overseas Chinese". On behalf of the Guangdong team, they won the National Badminton Championship. Fu Hanyu was also a member of the Chinese team. European strong team Denmark.

At that time, in addition to training and competitions, Fu Hanzhang and his teammates joined for labor construction. After labor, they performed badminton performances for farmers. "In 1964, we went to Huaxian, Guangzhou (now Huadu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province) to participate in the construction of Jiuwantan Reservoir and built a dam with local farmers. Two hoe was inserted on the ground as a net pole, and the shelves were on the Internet. Local farmers sat on the hillside to watch. Most of them watched badminton performances for the first time. At that time, there was still the remaining rice stubble after Hetian was harvested. Personal flying was scratched when they were saved, but everyone was happy to see it, and we were very happy. "

Fu Hanyu could not represent the country to participate in the World Contest in that era, but he and Hou Jiachang and others have actually reached the world's top level. In the 1960s, the world badminton world was known as the "unparalleled king".

After retiring in 1970, Fu Hanyu became the coach of the Badminton Class of the Guangzhou Stadium Sports School, and in 1978 became the coach of the Guangzhou badminton team.

When the Sports School was established, the location was located in the Fifty -six Middle School of the Thin Guling. The badminton venue was the original auditorium of the school. Fu Hanyu recalled that the "tragic" of the auditorium once made everyone look stupid. The doors and windows were full of sores, the cement floor was rough, and the roof was rude asbestos. "The leader promised to find a way to repair it. As a result, when it was officially moved, the windows were blocked with bricks. The venue was dark and the lights were turned on during the day. Winter is okay. The temperature of the lighting is more than 40 ° C. So I have always admired my trainees. I am so young and train under such difficult conditions, but everyone has practiced very much. At that time A pair of shoes, but the team members often wear a pair of shoes in less than a month. I have to collect everyone's rotten shoes every Saturday, ride a bicycle to a familiar shoe repairmaker, and send the shoes back on Sunday to send it to everyone . In such an environment, everyone's fighting spirit and upper mind have been tempered. "

In 1977, the Guangzhou Municipal Sports Commission hosted the National Youth Badminton Tournament. Because it was an organizer, Guangzhou was arranged to allow teams to participate, so Fu Hanyu led the temporary team to participate in the competition. "Of course, we think it is a good learning opportunity, but in the opinion of the leadership of the Sports Committee, as a amateur team, it is impossible for us to compete with other professional teams. I did not expect that our team members cherished this opportunity. A game is like a small tiger, all of which have the spirit of hard work. The semi -finals even defeated the Shanghai team. This is something we dare not think about it, and it has caused a sensation in the country. Later Most of the players were delivered by the Guangzhou team and were the brothers and sisters of our team members. As a result, each ball played three games at that time, and we were defeated. But the brothers admired us very much. "After this game, the National Sports Commission A "special case" was opened to Guangzhou, allowing Guangzhou to set up a badminton professional team in 1978. In the next decades, Fu Hanxuan was not eager to choose talents, and trained six badminton world champions such as Wu Dixi, Guan Weizhen, Lao Yujing, Lin Yanfen, Zhang Jiewen, Xie Xingfang.

Fu Hanyu has trained six badminton world champions Yangcheng Evening News for the Guangzhou team.

Take Fei: Dazzling Champions List

Yang Xinfang, the current head coach of the Guangzhou Badminton Team, is also a disciple brought by Fu Hanyu and his wife Zeng Xiuying. In 1974, he entered the Guangzhou team. Due to his good results, he was often transferred to the national team to participate in international competitions. He won the World Championships in 1987 and 1989. The third place. Yang Xinfang recalled that four or five years after the establishment of the Guangzhou team, they have emerged in various youth competitions. "The women's doubles champion of the Youth Championships basically won by our Guangzhou team. . Our women's team won the championship in the two national championships in 1988 and 1989. It is very amazing that a city team can get such results! "

In 1989, Yang Xinfang became a coach of the Guangzhou team after retiring. Because of his excellent performance, he was repeatedly borrowed to the national team as a coach. In her impression, when the most heyday, the number of Guangzhou athletes of the national team reached seven or eight. "At that time, our coaches were still very easy to choose. On the one hand, the concept of good badminton in Guangzhou is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Ask children what sports want to learn, many children will choose badminton. On the other hand support."

Zhang Jiewen, the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, embarked on the road of badminton. In the summer of 1987, Zhou Yanhong, a badminton enthusiast, heard that the Guangzhou Stadium was holding a sports school enrollment consultation activity, and he led his six -year -old daughter Zhang Jiewen. "At that time, I was sitting in the consultation office. Instructor Fu (Fu Hanzhang). My mother asked a lot of questions and said that she wanted to teach her daughter to play, but I didn't know how to teach. I remember that Guide Fu was enthusiastic and wrote a recommendation letter to me. I also embarked on the road of badminton at that time. Later, I entered the Guangzhou team and turned around and became a student instructed by Fu. "Later, under the leadership of Fu Hanyu, there were 8 female team members in the same batch of Zhang Jiewen. Five people were transported to the national team, of which Zhang Jiewen and Xie Xingfang won the Olympic champion and world champion.

Fu Hanyu has a very interesting and accurate evaluation of the six world champions that he brings out: "Wu Dixi is a left -handed, this is a unique advantage, and she plays calmly and clever. , The school asked her to participate in a grenades, she did not practice, and no matter what posture, she was thrown as the champion. She had a good explosive power, that is, the lower limbs were not so flexible and a little bit of bitter. The nerve type is relatively special and the response is particularly fast. So far, I haven't found the second badminton player like her. She also has a characteristic that it is unconvinced. The more unfavorable, the more you dare to fight. . Although Lin Yanfen is short, the basic technology is relatively comprehensive, the ball is good at moving the brain, and the awareness of tactics is better. Zhang Jiewen has better offensive power and stable technology. Xie Xingfang has long hands and long feet. Height has a great advantage. "

In addition to these six world championships, the Guangzhou team also trained Yang Wei, the women's double badminton champion of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, and Yu Jinhao, who won the 1999 Sudiman Cup group champion, and eight badminton world champions shining Yangcheng.
