1999 was a special year, and many things happened in this year. For those who love Chinese football, the women's football girls lost to the final and ranked second, which made countless Chinese people very proud. The outstanding performance of the sonorous roses such as Sun Wen, Liu Ailing, Zhang Ouying, Gao Hong is a famous Chinese football all over the world;

However, the men's football team's incompetence has finally dragged the ball down again. The national team has not improved much since the "Golden State Shame" two years ago. The National Olympic Team has once again suffered from "Korean phobia". On the way to Sydney, it directly kicked the Koreans back to their hometown. It has been away from the Olympic stadium for 11 years since 1988, and the days ahead will be even more unknown.

The campus football, which has been popular in Japan and South Korea, has not resonated much in China. The slogan "Football Starts from a Doll" has been shouted for more than ten years, but the work in youth training is still lacking. The national event system has not been established. Japan's national high school football competition has a history of more than 70 years, and the highest and lower levels are judged.

Chinese football at the turn of the century did not give people too many surprises, and was still as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

In the face of the general environment, domestic policy makers have been reflecting that the guiding ideology of the top-level A League has not changed, but "the foundation is not solid, and the earth is shaken." The decision on strengthening the bottom foundation of campus football has finally been put on the table again, which is a bit like a rush to seek medical treatment after a mess, but it has finally returned to the origin of football.

One of the important measures is the "Bachen Cup" National Middle School Football League, which will be launched at the end of the year. The event is sponsored by the China Middle School Students Sports Association and is the highest event in the middle school football field in the country. Its birth also fills the gap in the country. This event is also called the mid-soccer competition, mainly for high school students.

However, there are still no national events in the primary and junior high schools with a larger nine-year compulsory education. In order to summarize the useful experience of hosting national events and make full preparations for the successful hosting of the mid-soccer competition. It is also a survey on the promotion of events at the younger ages, the General Administration of Sports of China and the Ministry of Education jointly carried out the "Qihang Cup" Junior High School Football Competition nationwide.

The Qihang Cup adopts the four-level competition system of county (district) selection competitions - prefecture-city competitions - provincial (district) segment competitions - national competitions, strives to expand the participation of students of appropriate age across the country, solve the situation where there is no competition to play for a long time, and lay the foundation for the next step to build a national youth competition framework.

The "Qihang Cup" adopts a nine-person system, and the national competition was held in early November 1999, just one month before the "Qicheng Cup" began. The meaning of warm-up is self-evident.

On July 5, 1999, on the campus of Lucheng County Middle School, students who had finished the exam were walking outside. The different expressions on each face showed how they were doing.

This exam is the recruitment for the junior high school of Lucheng Middle School. As the best full-time high school in the county, it has the best faculty. Entering the junior high school of Luzhong also means that half of the foot has entered the best high school in the county.

Luzhong is one of the best key high schools in the county. It is not among the ordinary high schools divided by location. The junior high schools under it are also not divided by location. The only way to enter is to participate in their recruitment. The people who come to the exam are undoubtedly top students from all primary and secondary schools in the county.

Among ordinary junior high schools divided by location in Lucheng County, the best one is No. 1 Middle School located in South Street, which mainly accepts students from the county's second primary school; the second Middle School located in North Street, which mainly accepts students from the county's first primary school.

In addition to these two junior high schools in the north and south, there are also third, fourth, Wenquan Middle School and Wanzhang Middle School in the county. Compared with No. 1 and No. 2 Middle School, the last four junior high schools have more students than suburban or rural areas, and their annual high school entrance examination results are slightly worse.

Outside the county town, there are also junior high schools in towns in Mapo, No. 5 Middle School in Wushi, and No. 7 Middle School in Liangtian. Compared with the schools in urban areas, the academic performance of these three township schools is naturally lower. These ten schools represent the highest level of junior high school education in Lucheng County, and contribute to the majority of the number of people on the list in the annual high school entrance examination.

Due to the imbalance of development, the selection of each school also showed an unbalanced side. As a dominant existence, Lu Zhong must take away the largest part of the cake, and the remaining small part will be divided fiercely by other schools, among which No. 1 Middle School is slightly ahead.

Because No. 1 Middle School located on the South Street is close to the bustling section of Jiuzhou Market, life is convenient and only a few hundred meters away from Luzhong, which is far better than No. 2 Middle School, which is slightly suburban, so students who are not suitable for the location cannot participate in the Luzhong recruitment exam, and they will find ways to obtain the admission qualification of No. 1 Middle School. No. 1 Middle School has also become a taller person in the shortest place, which can be said to be expensive in Luoyang for a while.

A boy with a buzz cut walked out of the classroom. The expression on his face was complicated, a little frustrated, a little annoyed, and a little relieved, just like throwing away a big stone.

Walking out of the door, a middle-aged woman came up, held his hand, and asked with concern: "Azhen, how did you do in the exam?" He shook his head and said nothing.

The middle-aged woman knew that her son's grades were average, and this time she came to take the entrance examination for the Luzhong entrance examination was also obtained by her relatives from the Education Bureau, in order to prepare for the next step of paying the school choice fee.

She is pitiful to her parents all over the world. She hopes that her son will succeed and hopes to choose a good learning environment for her son, even if it costs tens of thousands of yuan to choose a school fee.

Seeing that his son was not very interested, the mother knew that he had failed the exam and could not bear to hurt his self-esteem, so she did not ask about the exam again. Instead, she comforted her softly: "Azhen, don't think too much. Just finish the exam smoothly. Let's go home. In two days, my mother will take you to the Nanning Zoo to have fun and relax. It's no big deal."

"Mom, I'm fine, you don't have to worry, I know my level." He also understood his mother's good intentions and comforted him.

Seeing his son's gradually relaxing expression, the mother felt a little relieved and began to divert his attention: "A Zhen, after the start of school in June (lunar calendar), I will be a junior high school student. What do you think?"

"It's nothing special. I study hard and hope my grades can be better." He replied lightly.

My mother was riding a bicycle, pulling him in the back seat, driving home, and passing the football field, his eyes were naturally attracted.

He knew that his grades were average, so he would definitely not be able to pass the exam in Luzhong. He agreed to his parents to come to take the recruitment exam more because there was a standard 400-meter track football field in Luzhong. Although this stadium full of sand seemed desolate, it did not affect its image in his heart at all. His mind was full of himself running on it, and he shot directly into the goal frame without blocking with a blast.

When he thought of himself playing football here, he was a little moved. His inner luck began to cause trouble. People should still have some dreams. What if it came true?

In the end, the cruel reality shattered his little fantasy. He was unwilling to live under the pressure of grades all day and could not enjoy the joy brought by football. Therefore, he firmly opposed the act of spending school selection fees to "buy" Lu Zhong to study. He just wanted to rely on his own strength to reap what he deserved.

He was studying at No. 1 Middle School, and he should be studying at No. 2 Middle School according to the location. He could not go to Luzhong and could only settle for the second best. After the exam, he also made up the idea of ​​going to No. 1 Middle School.

The reason for the choice is not complicated. No. 1 Middle School is close to Luzhong. Although the stadium of No. 1 Middle School is not as good as No. 2 Middle School, it is just a nine-person field surrounded by a track of more than 300 meters, but it is better to be level.

"Mom, I'll go to No. 1 Middle School." He said firmly to his mother who was trampling on the car in front.

"Okay, as long as you are happy, I will listen to you!" The mother wanted to spend money to get him into Luzhong, but she also knew her son's simple and persistent thoughts about football. Now, listening to his tone is so affirmative, it is also a sign of understanding and support, just like he fell in love with football when he was liked playing football.

His name is Li Weizhen, he is 14 years old and is about to become a junior high school freshman in the 1999 class. He is a big boy who likes to play football.
