Oct 12, 2022

Zhang Lei, who majored in youth physical education, just graduated. He ran into a wall at the job fair and accidentally met Chen Gang, the secretary of the town party committee. Chen Gang is the town party secretary of Jiagasitai Town, Qabqal Xibo Autonomous County, Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Zhang Lei was reluctant to go so far at first, but Chen Gang agreed to solve the problem of career editing. If so, Zhang Lei traveled thousands of miles to Xinjiang.

Arriving at the town, Gu Li, the principal of the town middle school, received Zhang Lei and talked about Xinjiang with great interest along the way. Zhang Lei and three children and a pile of chickens, ducks and fish were crowded in the back row with little interest, ignoring the beauty of Xinjiang along the way. The town middle school expressed a warm welcome to Zhang Lei's arrival. Zhang Lei was not used to Xinjiang's folk customs, but he still ate the sheep's eyes whole, which is a tradition. Zhang Lei shivered from the cold all night. It was a strange thing that there were mosquitoes in this cold.

In the first class the next day, the students saw Zhang Lei whispering, this is the third PE teacher in a year, and it will not exceed three months at most. Zhang Lei let everyone move freely, and even went on the field to help them as a referee in a football match. The bell rang before the end of a ball game, and the students threw the ball and ran away without a word. Many mainland teachers come and go here. If Zhang Lei wants to go to Gu Li, he understands it. He just hopes that he wants to go and tell himself in advance that he should not wait until he gets acquainted with the children before leaving. It will hurt their hearts. Zhang Lei was bitten by mosquitoes in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. He was almost swallowed alive by mosquitoes. He happened to be hungry and went out to find food, but was scared and ran back by a dog.

Because he couldn't hold on, Zhang Lei decided to resign. Before entering Gu Li's office, Zhang Lei heard the same words from another teacher and Gu Li's cry. Zhang Lei didn't speak any more and ran away with the suitcase in his hand. When Chen Gang heard that Zhang Lei ran away, he hurried to stop him. Zhang Lei walked against the sun for a long time without encountering the bus, so he could only get into their car. A car of children and Chen Gang looked at Zhang Lei with hopeful eyes, hoping that Zhang Lei would not leave.

Chen Gang took everyone to watch football. Football has a good foundation in Xinjiang, but Zhang Lei was absent-mindedly watching the air tickets. Chen Gang pointed to the coach in the distance and gave Zhang Lei hope. There are always opportunities, it depends on how Zhang Lei does it. Zhang Lei looked at the football field and had to say that the children still looked quite talented. Chen Gang was also selfish when he recruited Zhang Lei. He hoped that he would lead the team to play in the league, and he would work hard to cooperate with any conditions. Zhang Lei's decision to form a football team was strongly opposed by the vice-principal, but Gu Li agreed. Zhang Lei quickly retracted the letter he had left behind.

The news that the school was going to form a basketball team made the students very excited, and Chen Gang's work in the town was also very difficult, and he was worried all day long. The school team selection, followed by intense training, strong physical fitness, solid basic skills, and tacit teamwork, these three points are very important no matter which sport. The children collapsed under Zhang Lei's torture, and finally couldn't help asking Zhang Lei how long they had to train before they could play.
