Chapter 63 The Era and the Individual
Lin Mu swallowed the food in his mouth. "It's convenient. Send me the information and documents, and I'll take a look at the specific schedule."
He had no relatives or friends in the country.
So after returning home, there weren't many family visits.
The only thing I might have to do is go back to my hometown, burn some paper money for my father, and clean up his grave.
Thinking about this...
Lin Mu gazed at the sky, so far from his hometown.
The original owner's life experience was simple in a way.
The word "learning" encapsulates the whole thing.
The original owner came from a single-parent family; his father was a doctor who sent him abroad to study medicine at a young age.
As a result, on the day of his graduation from the University of Milan...
I learned that my father had cancer.
Lin Mu recalled how he felt at that time.
For a medical student, looking at those obvious images, all the knowledge he had learned clearly told him that it was too late.
"Dr. Lin, Dr. Lin?"
Zhang Xin's voice pulled Lin Mu out of his memories.
"call!"
Lin Mu finally understood.
The original owner stayed in Italy because he had no ties to his family.
He snapped out of his daze and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have sent you the document. If you have any questions later, please feel free to call this number or contact us by email."
Zhang Xin's attitude was very good.
no way.
It's because only Lin Mu can perform Zhao Ruirui's surgery.
He had previously contacted Lang Ping, who was in the United States, and the famous orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Scherven, but Dr. Scherven said that he could perform intramedullary nailing of the tibia, but autologous bone transplantation was not possible at the moment.
I don't have that ability.
Scherwen even learned that Zhang Xin had contacted Lin Mu.
He went straight to the point, saying, "I've read his paper in AJSM, and my colleague also went to Italy for further studies. How should I put it? If you can get Wood to come, that would be the best option for the patient."
"OK."
Lin Mu hung up the phone after he finished speaking.
......
Kyoto.
It was already 2 p.m. when Lin Mu finished performing the surgery on Batistuta.
Italy is six hours ahead of China, which is around 8 p.m. in China.
The pipeline center was still brightly lit.
"Next year's World Women's Volleyball Championship will be the last global competition before the Olympics!"
Women's volleyball team leader Chen Zhonghe, with a whistle hanging around his neck, pointed to the national flag behind the athletes standing in two rows and said, "So this is the last big test before the Olympics. Our goal is the championship, and we're also using the competition as training!"
The national women's volleyball team has achieved remarkable results in recent years.
In the 2002 World Women's Volleyball Championship, the team used a strategy of losing to the Greek and South Korean women's volleyball teams, which were significantly weaker than themselves, in order to avoid the two formidable rivals, the Italian and Russian women's volleyball teams, as much as possible during the tournament.
As a result, they achieved a top-four finish.
However, they faced criticism from domestic audiences, mainly those dissatisfied with the women's volleyball team's alleged match-fixing, as well as from international audiences, particularly the Brazilian and Dutch women's volleyball teams.
Chen Zhonghe was once under pressure to step down.
However, in the 2002 Busan Asian Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship.
They then achieved even more brilliant results.
She went on to win several international championships, including the Swiss Women's Volleyball Masters, the World Grand Prix, and the Asian Women's Volleyball Championship.
Next comes the World Cup champion.
2003 October.
In the 9th Women's Volleyball World Cup held in Japan, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship with an undefeated record of 11 wins, sweeping away the 17-year itch.
Next up are the Olympic champions.
However, conquering the world is difficult, but maintaining it is even more difficult. No one can stand at the top forever.
Even if we can be prepared for unforeseen circumstances and plan ahead.
But you are surrounded by people who are just as ambitious, passionate, and eager as you are.
They can examine your strengths and weaknesses under a microscope.
Targeting you.
Chen Zhonghe had long been aware of this.
So he kept innovating his tactics, but there were some things he couldn't stop.
For example, injuries and illnesses.
Feng Kun, the team captain who won the gold medal at the Athens Olympics, is considered the best setter in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but she has a recurring knee injury.
What kind of injury?
Chronic synovitis of the left knee, grade III wear and tear of the patellofemoral joint cartilage, degeneration of the medial meniscus, and joint effusion.
Chen Zhonghe saw this and felt deeply pained.
Feng Kun's left knee would swell after each training session, and after this year's Grand Champions Cup, he couldn't even walk.
Chen Zhonghe had seen Feng Kun supporting his knees several times while climbing stairs.
Zhao Ruirui suffered from long-term serious injuries.
Zhang Ping, a rare powerful middle blocker in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, was the best attacker in the women's volleyball competition at the Athens Olympics.
He also has a knee injury.
Extensive wear and tear on the patellofemoral joint cartilage.
The frequent need to drain fluid, the strong bandages during training that constrict the flesh until it turns red, and the constant need for knee braces on the legs.
I was originally planning to have the surgery in Germany this year.
"Let's begin training."
Chen Zhonghe's voice remained steady and powerful.
No matter how bad the situation is.
He must not panic.
I just feel sorry for the girls under my command.
But that was the situation in the domestic sports world in 2005.
Train until you drop dead, train until you drop dead.
The reasons for this situation are complex.
Moreover, athletes are instilled from a young age with the idea of winning glory for the country, fighting tenaciously, and not leaving the front line even with minor injuries.
Like a banner hanging outside the door.
"A fine sword is forged through tempering and polishing; the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold."
Even Chen Zhonghe himself often said, "This little bit of tiredness is nothing; the seniors have suffered much more than you."
In fact, it's not wrong in the context of the times, and the athletes themselves have their own reasons for wanting to do so.
Of course, he also wanted to conduct scientific training.
But the sentence above.
"Everything for the Olympics, the Olympics are above all else!"
Do they dare to rest?
This year is also the first year of the Olympic Games sprint.
Having won the championship in the last Olympics, they naturally need to aim for the championship in the next Kyoto Olympics.
To put it bluntly...
As a gold medal sport, women's volleyball can only win and cannot afford to lose.
The domestic medical situation is also worrying.
Chen Zhonghe learned about the scientific sports medicine system from his conversations with Lang Ping.
Anyway, it's not their model of "emphasizing treatment over prevention, emphasizing surgery over rehabilitation".
They certainly wouldn't treat painkillers and injections as a panacea.
There's a thousand ways to explain it.
These are the conditions; what can they do about it?
Individual physical health is at odds with national honor and gold medal targets.
They are truly insignificant.
"Director Chen, Dr. Lin has agreed, and the schedule should be released tomorrow."
Zhang Xin walked to Chen Zhonghe's side and whispered.
"That's good, that's good."
Chen Zhonghe relaxed his shoulders.
There's not much he can do except try to secure more funding and hire highly skilled doctors.
"Don't slack off with Dr. Lin. You'll be there to provide full support throughout the process, understand?" Chen Zhonghe added.
He knew all too well the importance of building a good relationship with an excellent doctor.
"Mission accomplished!"
Zhang Xin nodded.
Bang bang bang!
The constant dull thuds of the ball hitting the court became the background noise of their conversation.
Swish!
The volleyball hit Feng Kun's wrist and bounced out of bounds.
She pinched her left knee hard before wiping away the sweat. "Mine, let's do it again!"
The other team members immediately returned to their positions.
The sounds of banging echoed through the stadium once again.
