"Before shooting, I worked as a tailor in a clothing store." Two days ago, Zhang Cuiping of China introduced herself to everyone after winning the bronze medal in the SH 1 women's sports rifle three-position competition. "In fact, my biggest pain is that I can't walk like a healthy person." Zhang Cuiping said that when she was at school, her parents carried her to school every day. After school, she always waits for her parents to carry her back at the school gate. The experience at that time was painful and unforgettable.
"When I first went to school, some students laughed at me. I can only stand there and cry alone. " She recalled.
Later, her mother reflected this to the teacher, and the situation improved. "When I was in class the next day, the teacher told the students that I am the same as everyone else, and I hope the students can help me in my future study and life." When class is over and after school, the teachers will let Xiaocui go out of the classroom first, so that she won't be crowded with her. After that, few students laughed at her. But after graduating from junior high school, Zhang Cuiping told his parents that he didn't want to go to school. There is only one reason, that is, I don't want my parents to carry her again. Zhang Cuiping said, "When I graduated from junior high school, I was already very heavy. I can't bear to think that my parents are already very hard and have to carry me to school every day. "
After staying at home for a while, Zhang Cuiping began to study tailoring in a clothing store. She said, "I just think that being a tailor can design and make many beautiful clothes to wear."
Zhang Cuiping has only worked in a clothing store for more than a year, and the cutting technology has already started.
"Every time I see how well others fit in my clothes, I feel particularly proud." She said with a smile.
At the end of 2003, Hebei Disabled Shooting Team went to Handan to recruit new players. Thinking of a new stage to show himself, Zhang Cuiping signed up happily. After layers of selection, she became a member of the shooting team. In 2006, Zhang Cuiping, who performed well, was selected for the national team. Before the Beijing Paralympic Games, she had won 7 gold medals, 9 silver medals and 6 bronze medals in large-scale shooting competitions held at home and abroad. "I like shooting very much. Every time I see that I can play like a healthy person, I feel very happy. " Zhang Cuiping said. "The training process is not bitter for me, but every time I see snow in winter, I will be particularly homesick." Speaking of this topic, Zhang Cuiping is a little sad. Every snowy day, she can only go to the shooting range training with her teammates on crutches, and often falls down on the road. "Although someone will help me up every time I fall, I always feel very uncomfortable at this time. Why can't I walk like a healthy person? "
It is painful not to walk like a healthy person, but winning two medals at the Paralympic Games for the first time gave Zhang Cuiping great confidence. "In fact, winning medals is not the ultimate goal. The important thing is that I can stand on this stage. It was filming that changed me and made me more and more confident. Through shooting, my world has been broadened and I have found a stage to pursue my dreams. " "After the Paralympic Games, I want to find a school to study," she said. Only after filming did I discover the importance of knowledge. "I want to learn a foreign language most. There are so many foreign friends on the field, but I can't communicate with them. It's a pity. "
