Zhao Wen, a track and field coach in Changjun Middle School, is both Chen Zhikang's instructor and the "Bole" who leads him to fall in love with the column. "His sixth grade began to follow me to practice the column. It is indeed a good seed, body, and technology."

As a coach who has been deeply cultivated at the grassroots level for many years, Zhao Wen also hopes that everyone will look at it reasonably. "The high column and the dwarf column must vary from person to person. It is not that the dwarf column is very good. What level will it definitely reach when the high column will reach. There is no absolute answer."
