Although Kiyoichi Kishi, president of the Japan Sports Association, did not go to North Korea, he has been paying attention to the affairs of the Beijing Sports Association.

In order to get Chen Qiang to participate in the competition, Japan has to provide food and accommodation and also to pay the round-trip fee. The key is to give a 350 yen appearance fee!

For Kishi Kishi, this amount of money is not much, but it feels disgusting! Spending the 350 yen out makes Kishi Kishi feel depressed that he lost 35,000 yen.

"You are a Chinese. If I invite you to participate in the competition, you will already give you a lot of face. You dare to ask for money! In the end, the money is really given. Why do you think I am so cheap!"

Thinking of the 350 yen, Kishi Kishi felt angry, and he wanted to break another tea cup or two.

"The competition should have begun now! Perhaps Nanbu Jun and Yoshioka Jun have defeated Chen Qiang!"

The phone ringtone suddenly started, and An Qingyi answered the phone and it turned out to be called by Lieutenant General Oshima.

"Lieutenant General Oshima, don't worry, I have sent someone to the telegraph room, waiting for good news from North Korea, and I will notify you as soon as possible!" An Qingyi said. Then he exchanged a few greetings with Lieutenant General Oshima and hung up the phone.

A minute later, the phone ringing rang again, and a familiar voice came from the phone, which was the subordinate who was sent by An Qingyi to the telegraph room.

"Kun Nakano, is there good news from North Korea? How are Yoshioka and Nanbu Kung?" Kishiki asked.

"President, the 100-meter sprint race has just ended. Yoshioka Kwan's score is 10.7 seconds, and Nanbu Kwan's score is 10.6 seconds!" said the other end of the phone.

"10 seconds 6, the new Asian record, great! Asia's fastest, finally belongs to us Japanese!" Kishi Kishi clenched his fists excitedly. This victory made him feel like he was about to suffocate.

For Kiyoichi Kishi, this victory not only won the title of "Asia's Fastest", but also showed the strength of Japanese sports in front of the North Koreans.

Next, Japan can promote the promotion in North Korea, how excellent the Yamato nation is. Japan is better than China, the former suzerain country of North Korea. A better nation should rule North Korea, and the inferior Koreans should also express their submission to Japan!

An Qingyi was having a big dream of spring and autumn, but the other end of the phone continued: "President, I haven't finished talking yet, that Chinese Chen Qiang, he ran for 10 seconds 5!"

An Qingyi's smile froze, his thinking suddenly stopped, and the feeling of sourness in his heart seemed to have been taken away by someone.

In a flash, from heaven to hell!

...

Tianjin, "Ta Kung Pao" newspaper.

The latest issue of the Asahi Shimbun newspaper had just arrived at the newspaper office. Editor Hu, who was proficient in Japanese, immediately took it over and studied it carefully.

The Ta Kung Pao did not send journalists in Japan, so he could only learn about Japanese information through Japanese newspapers. Editor Hu was proficient in Japanese, and his job was to read various newspapers from Japan every day, and then translate some of the worthy contents of the report into Chinese and publish them in the Ta Kung Pao in the form of reprinting.

Editor Hu read it very quickly. In a blink of an eye, he read several versions of the content, but he did not find any content worth reprinting.

Suddenly, a news report as big as a tofu chunk attracted Editor Hu's attention.

"Chinese athletes break the record of Asian 100-meter sprint".

This is a Japanese newspaper. The "my country" mentioned here, of course, refers to Japan.

"I remember reading a report a few days ago that said that we Chinese created the Asian 100-meter sprint record. Was it broken by the Japanese?" Editor Hu's heart tightened and immediately read the content.

"Trute Yoshioka won the third place with a time of 10.7 seconds, Tadaihiro from the South won the runner-up with a time of 10.6 seconds, and set the best result of the Japanese, while breaking the previous record of the 100-meter sprint in Asia? What the hell is the 'pre-record'? Is there any such statement? The Japanese are just the runner-up, so who is the champion?" Editor Hu was stunned for a moment and continued to watch.

"The championship was won by Chinese player Chen Qiang." Editor Hu breathed a sigh of relief: "After a long time of trouble, we still won the victory!"

Although the Japanese media reports are not taken out of context, they also avoid the important things and make a statement that "pre-record" seems to be very powerful. This statement deceives those ignorant readers, and those with a little bit of sports knowledge can see that the Japanese media is being cheerful.

"Asakura Shimbun" deliberately avoided Chen Qiang's winning of the championship, so he only mentioned Chen Qiang's reports, and even did not mention Chen Qiang's results. But anyone with a brain can understand that the second place, Nanbu Tadhipei, broke the "pre-list record" in Asia, so why didn't Chen Qiang, the first place, faster?

Editor Hu did not find Chen Qiang's achievements, but he did not give up. He took another copy of the new "Daily News" and found a report as big as a tofu cube on it.

The Daily News reported not as good as the Asahi Shimbun, and there were fewer reports on this competition. Editor Hu asked the Yomiuri Shimbun again, and the situation was similar, with few related reports.

The Japanese media is actually very contradictory. South Tadhipei created a Japanese best achievement, which should have been a big book, and South Tadhipei should have been portrayed as a hero.

But South Takahei was not the champion, and the fruits of victory were picked by Chen Qiang. The Japanese media obviously did not want to report such failures. So when writing the press release, they avoided the heavy weight and avoided the opposite effect.

Editor Hu was a little helpless. He searched through major Japanese newspapers but found no detailed information about the competition.

Suddenly, Editor Hu had an idea and thought that the venue of the competition was in Seoul.

"I can go and see North Korean newspapers, maybe there will be more confident reports on it." When Editor Hu thought of this, he immediately went to look for newspapers from North Korea, and he really found the latest "East Asia Ilbo".

Although the East Asian Ilbo of this era is a Korean newspaper, the contents are basically Chinese characters mixed with Korean characters, and the proportion of Chinese characters is even greater. Editor Hu can fully understand the contents of the East Asian Ilbo.

Until the 1980s, there were still a large number of Chinese characters in Korean newspapers. Now, Koreans around the age of 50 have experienced Chinese characters teaching when they were young. If young Koreans do not specialize in learning Chinese characters, they will probably only write their own names in Chinese characters, because there are Chinese names on their ID cards.

Back to the topic, Editor Hu opened the East Asia Ilbo and soon found the news about the Beijing Sports Games.

The North Korean newspapers’ reports on the Beijing Sports Games are much more detailed than those of Japanese newspapers, and Editor Hu quickly found Chen Qiang’s achievements.

"10 seconds 5! This is the new Asian record for the 100-meter sprint event. Chen Jian will be so awesome. He broke the Asian record in just a few months! The title of "Asia's Fastest" is indeed well deserved!"

Editor Hu was a little excited. He decided to translate the report in detail and then persuade the editor to report it on the front page.

...

Zhang Boling walked into the office and the latest newspaper had been placed on his desk, the top official "Ta Kung Pao".

Zhang Boling planned to handle official duties first, and then go to read the newspaper when he had free time, so he grabbed the newspaper and prepared to put it aside.

However, the title of the front page headline attracted Zhang Boling.

"The Fastest Asian" Chen Qiang broke the record again."

Seeing this title, Zhang Boling lost his mind for a few seconds, then picked up the "Ta Kung Pao" and read it carefully.

An excited expression gradually appeared on Zhang Boling's face. He looked happy. After reading this report, he felt unsatisfied and read it again for the second and third time.

"Okay!" Zhang Boling suddenly stood up and walked around the office with the newspaper. His at a loss could not hide the excitement in his heart.

"The new Asian record, Chen Qiang is so good! He also beat two Japanese, and did not embarrass the Chinese, nor did he embarrass us Nankai!"

Zhang Boling watched the report again and then carefully savored the content.

"Yoshioka Ryude's score is 10.7 seconds, which has tied Chen Qiang's previous Asian record at the Far East Games, right? Nanbu Tadai's score is 10.6 seconds, which also surpassed Chen Qiang's previous Asian record. Fortunately, Chen Qiang was fast enough, and he ran a 10.5 seconds. It was still 0.1 seconds faster!"

Zhang Boling took a deep breath, thinking about the results of Yoshioka Ryude and Nanbu Tadai and the advantage of 0.1 seconds, Zhang Boling felt more and more that this time Chen Qiang held the title of "Fastest in Asia" and the process would inevitably be extremely dangerous.

I saw Zhang Boling pick up the newspaper and walk out of the office step by step.

He plans to post this report on the school’s bulletin board so that all teachers and students will know the good news that Chen Qiang broke the record again.

...

"Reading newspapers, reading newspapers, and running 100 meters, our athletes will beat Japan again!"

"The pride of the Chinese people, Chen Qiang broke the Asian record of 100-meter sprint!"

"Read the newspaper, today's headlines, Far East champion Chen Qiang once again made the fastest results in Asia!"

The next day, newspapers from Peking, Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou and other places also reported that Chen Qiang had broken the Asian 100-meter record.

At that time, China was poor and weak, and lagged behind the world in all aspects. For the Chinese, even the slightest achievements of the Chinese people were worthy of a big book. For example, Huo Yuanjia defeated the British strongman Opiyin and became famous throughout the country; for example, Mr. Mei Lanfang went to the United States for a tour, which also made the whole country excited.

Modern China has been weak for a long time, and the people are inferior. This inferiority also makes the Chinese people urgently need international recognition. For ordinary people, any honor that can be recognized is a valuable encouragement and deserves to be magnified infinitely.

Overnight, Chen Qiang became a "national hero" in the eyes of the common people. Although most people do not know what track and field sprints are, nor do they know what the Asian record is, the four words "run fastest" are still easy to understand. The concept of "beating the Japanese" is also easy to understand, and you can understand it as soon as you hear it.

It is also because of this that when Chen Qiang returned to Tianjin on a boat, not only the students of Nankai University, but many Tianjin citizens also spontaneously came to the dock to welcome the heroes to return triumphantly!

...

Mr. Zhang Boling did not break his promise, and he held a celebration meeting for Chen Qiang. At the celebration meeting, the old man was very happy. He drank a lot of wine until he got drunk.

Perhaps because of the hangover, Zhang Boling did not come to school the next morning, and it was not until the afternoon that he appeared in the principal's office with a confused expression.

When Chen Qiang heard that Zhang Boling had come to work, he immediately went to the principal's office to find him.

"Principal, I want the school to renovate the runway." Chen Qiang said straight to the point.

"Why, our school's runway can't hold on to you, Asia's fastest?" Zhang Boling asked with a smile.

"The principal was joking. I wanted the school to regulate the running to the dressing." Chen Qiang paused and continued, "I plan to start practicing the 200-meter sprint."

Zhang Boling suddenly felt spirited: "There are curves in the 200-meter sprint, and it is necessary to repair the school's track according to international standards."

"Principal, if the school has difficulties, I can donate the appearance fee I earned this time. At least I earned 350 yen from the Japanese this time." Chen Qiang continued.

"Haha, don't worry, Nankai is not worth your 350 yen. Keep the money and buy delicious food yourself!" Zhang Boling smiled and continued, "Leave it to me about the runway. Don't forget that I have a nickname called 'Altar Monk'. I don't have other abilities. I have a way to find money for the school!"

The next day, Nankai University began to prepare for the renovation of a standardized runway, which would probably take several days to build.

Although the track was not built, Chen Qiang was not idle either. In the training space, he had already started training for 200 meters of sprinting.

...

Kobe, Japan.

A car was parked in front of a traditional Japanese mansion, and Kishi Kishi, president of the Japanese Sports Association, walked out of the car.

The car was also a rare thing in Kobe at that time, but the pedestrians who came and went did not look curious about the car, but instead looked natural. Because the owner of this house was surnamed Kana, and the Kana chaebol was also a very important chaebol in the Kansai region. For example, Japan's famous Kikuji Liquor Industry is an industry under the Kana chaebol.

The owner of this mansion is even more unusual. His name is Kanajigoro. He is a famous Japanese educator and the founder of modern judo. He is known as the "father of judo".

Kana Jigoro is also the founder of the Japan Sports Association and the first president of the Japan Sports Association. Now Kana Jigoro has retired, Kishi Kishiki made a special trip to see him this time.

Kishikii followed the servant into the mansion, came to the living room, took off his shoes and stepped on the tatami, then walked in, and headed for Kanaji Goro's luggage inside.

Kanaji Goro nodded slightly, pointed to the chessboard in front of him, and said, "Kim Kishi, please play a game of chess with me!"

An Qingyi did not dare to refuse, so he knelt in front of the chessboard and started playing chess.

After only a dozen steps, Kanajigoro stopped and said, "Kan Kishiki, you have a lot of worries, so your attention is not on the chess game at all."
