china news service, aksu, xinjiang, september 27th: title: a young man chasing the wind on the track and field in southern xinjiang
author zhang yangbin wang yuping
even in autumn, the scorching sun is still blazing in the aksu region of xinjiang. on the track and field of wensu county no. 7 middle school, several students lined up one after another. after the coach gave the order, they rushed dozens of meters in an instant. the plastic track behind their starting line has been worn with several uneven grooves, which shows that this place has witnessed countless starts.
in the physical examination that ended about a week ago, abdulsalam tusun was the top-ranked student in the class. this tall and shy boy always smiles when talking to others. "i liked sports when i was a child. basketball, football, running... i was good at them all, and i always played in different ways with the children in the village." when he was a child, he helped his parents with farm work and stayed in the countryside. running in the wild, through the rugged walnut forest, across the wide wheat fields, until i can no longer run, feeling the oncoming wind blowing through the mountains and fields.
in his third year of junior high school, on the recommendation of his physical education teacher, abdulsalam, who had never participated in professional training, was "accidentally" admitted to the physical education class of wensu county no. 7 middle school. he is about to have an additional physical education test next year, which will be a test of his results from four hours of training every day for two years.

in april this year, elisir wumaier, a young player from wensu county, won two gold medals at the asian u20 track and field championships. the good news came back and the whole county was excited and jubilant. when abdul salam and his classmate hu zhuxiang learned that alisil was coming to school, they were "so excited that they couldn't sleep all night." they also "competed" with alisil on the school track and field. "just a few seconds after starting, elisir was more than ten meters ahead of the others, like an arrow." although the result was as expected, the two still felt that they had achieved a wish.
abdul salam and wu zhuxiang are good friends. most students who live on campus go home once a week, but since hu zhuxiang's home is far away, this frequency should be changed to two weeks. “on weekends when i don’t go home, my classmates who also stay at school will eat, live and study together. uyghur friends will also give me homemade snacks.” hu zhuxiang told reporters.
coach mou xiaobin came to this school to teach in 2016 after graduating from shihezi university. he introduced that the students currently studying in the senior high school physical education class come from han, uyghur, tu and other ethnic groups, and they get along very well with each other. in mou xiaobin's words, the "conflict" between children is nothing more than that you ran faster than me this time, and i will overtake you next time. "they all have their own ideals and goals for the future."
the additional physical education test is divided into four events: 100-meter run, 800-meter run, shot put, and standing long jump. children in the physical education class train twice a day in the morning and afternoon, and they have to take cultural classes in between. this is the second physical education class led by mou xiaobin. “they train very hard, but the children are very sensible. they never complain and rarely cry tired.”
today, there are 4 girls in the class of 35 people, and mayire yassen is one of them. in order to come here to go to school, she also went through a lot of twists and turns. "because i live far away, my family hopes that i can go to high school nearby. i don't agree. this is my own choice." ma yire's grades are very good, but only in the shot put event. she found it difficult, so she practiced more seriously, throwing the shot put farther away again and again. ma yire said that weakness is by no means synonymous with girls, and she wants to become taller and stronger.
"my mother is less than 1.6 meters tall, which is shorter than me. it is very hard to pick up walnuts in a bucket." ma yire said that now her mother does farm work at home, and she usually helps share some of the work at home. when asked which university she wanted to go to for the college entrance examination, she shook her head: "i haven't decided yet." but then she changed her mind: "actually, there is one." she looked into the distance, as if she had finally made up her mind, "i will definitely work hard.
