Tracking three ice hockey teenagers for three years, revealing the ice sports from "minority unpopular" to "climbing vine shortcut"

A thousand people ice art festival and a three-year ice hockey documentary made Jiahui School the hottest landmark in Beijing this winter.

6543810.7, 50 days before the opening of the Winter Olympics, a documentary called "Time on Ice" was shown in national cinemas. One of the main characters in the film is a sixth-grade student in a private school and the captain of the school's Green Dragon Ice Hockey Team.

On the day before the film was released, Jiahui School held a large-scale ice and snow sports art festival with the theme of "burning green snow to build a winter Olympic dream" in the 5,000m2 green skating rink on campus. Nearly 1,000 teachers and students combine dance, musical, instrumental performance, singing, piano and other performing arts with winter sports such as figure skating, speed skating and ice hockey, spanning 10 disciplines.

Its wonderful degree has even been reported by CCTV.

China Central Television English International Channel (CGTN) said: Private Jiahui School in Beijing is one of the few schools in Beijing that take skating and ice hockey as their main courses. Jiahui ice and snow education course has been popularized among students aged 6~ 19, aiming at providing students with opportunities for all-round development.

A movie, an ice and snow art festival, I have to say that this winter, Jiahui School is too "burning"!

In the overture of 300 million people on ice, Qu and two other children seem to be just three insignificant people, but they are the fire of hope for the future of China ice hockey.

It was Qu's mother's joking "self-recommendation" four years ago that contributed to the filming of this film. That year, Qu was 7 years old and trained in a junior ice hockey team adapted from a club in Beijing.

The mighty and vigorous players on the court turned out to be a group of thin and naive children after taking off their "armor". This scene hit Han Xiang director Liu. "I can see the influence and shaping of this sport on children."

With these problems, the crew traveled to Beijing, Russia, Sweden, Canada and other places, and filmed around three groups of families for three years, uncovering the unknown hardships and choices behind the "dream catcher" of ice hockey, and further discussing many difficulties that contemporary families will encounter when facing educational problems.

At the premiere, Li Yanli, executive principal of Jiahui School, said emotionally, "Documentary and education are both the arts of time. With 29 years of educational practice, Jiahui School has established a curriculum system supported by disciplines, arts and sports for children. The purpose is to meet the development needs of students in holistic education and to be fully prepared to become lifelong learners and have global capabilities. "

12 and 8 years old

He said, "I like the sound of the wind blowing through my ears when I skate fast."

Director Liu became a father the year he decided to shoot A Moment on Ice. For the unknown, he is as full of fear as all novice fathers.

"If my daughter is obsessed with something, will I support her? How can I support her? If she also wants to go abroad and leave us, will I fall into a particularly tangled and anxious mood like these families ... "

These questions are exactly what he hopes to answer through this documentary, and they are also the mental journey of the Qu family.

Like many parents, Qu's mother began to think about how to cultivate a wide range of interests when her children were very young. At the age of 2, at the suggestion of a friend, my mother bought a pair of roller skates for Xiao Ruichen. "I didn't expect him to skate by himself in just over an hour, and then he could run around the house in another hour."

Qu likes speed, that is, "the sound of the wind blowing from the ear when sliding very fast."

From the age of 3 to 4, the "delayed satisfaction" of not being able to participate in the stands for a whole year made him full of yearning for ice hockey, a sport that is "as fast, quiet and armed as Transformers". So that after the official freezing, "he has never had an anaerobic period".

Qu's mother believes that it is most important to conform to children's nature on the road of cultivating children's interests. "'Push' is the weakest, and it is the most powerful for children to advance on their own."

In the film, 8-year-old Qu asked her mother, "Are you 8 years old or am I 8 years old?" Mom replied, "You have worked hard". Indeed, since I was four years old, I have given exercise for an average of three hours a day, seven days a week, and more intensive training on weekends. Sometimes children are "too tired to cry, lying on the ice, unable to move and unable to speak".

Parents are both distressed and gratified by this hard work. "The national female ice captain once told them that when preparing for the Winter Olympics, they also experienced devil-like training. At the end of the training, I didn't feel their existence at all. She said that at that moment, I knew what' people and ice are one'. "

Qu's mother is keen on China traditional culture while taking care of her children. In her view, this state of athletes is highly "stable" and "static", and it is highly focused. In the high-speed sports on the ice rink, athletes often have to make decisions and judgments within 1 2 seconds, relying on this kind of concentration, which requires a lot of practice to "achieve".

More than 20 trophies at home, large and small, are the best reward for Qu's hard work in the past eight years. "The moment I lifted the trophy was also my most fulfilling moment." But he also gradually realized that ice hockey brought more other things, such as growth.

"We spent our whole lives looking for the right answer."

In the film, Qu has a big blanket sewn by the flag of a world-famous team. "The Flames, Sharks and Devils, Boston bruins, won the World Cup seven times." He said with a smile that one day he would carve his name on the Stanley Cup, and he firmly believed that he must play the North American Professional League (NHL) in the future.

"The child's ideal is pure, but it may also be simple, because when facing the ideal, it is difficult for him to judge the price that he and his family may have to pay to pursue their dreams." Li Hanxiang thinks that such a movie, which seems to be a "sports theme", is actually an exploration of the real problem of education. "Education itself has no fixed method."

Qu received short-term training at Khabarovsk Ice Hockey School in Russia.

In the film, Chen Rui's mother fully supports her children to pursue their dreams. To this end, she took her children to Russia and Sweden, and finally decided to send them to study in the United States. "There are more games that can be played in the United States, and it is easier to integrate into the atmosphere earlier." But this decision was questioned by his father.

"Just a child, sent out at such a young age, worried about him every day, then what do we live on?" This is also the voice of many parents.

Because of work, Qu's father is not at home half the time every month. He gets along with his children more like "buddies" who can play together, but at the same time he doesn't "understand" the children's "initial heart" in pursuing their dreams like his mother. "I don't object to playing ice hockey, but this road is too difficult. How did your parents feel when you fell down on the court? "

Indeed, as a high-intensity team sport, injuries on the ice hockey field are very common. Adult ice hockey players will replace the full-face fence with a half-face as a symbol of "bravery", which also means that they will be hurt more directly. "Many ice hockey players are proud that they don't have front teeth," not to mention being able to "fight" on the ice hockey field.

Do parents have to be swayed by considerations of gain and loss when their children are still immature? Qu's mother's answer is very firm. However, in the face of leaving his hometown and being separated from his family, the 8-year-old Qu in the film began to "shake".

In the process of choice, children begin to think about the meaning of family and the cost of parting. Parents should learn to grow up with their children and advance and retreat together. "This process may be accompanied by anxiety and doubt, but it is a situation that parents must face now."

After all, there is no fixed formula for education. Parents are certainly the guides of children's growth, but on the long road of family education, they also have to experience the subject of growth.

As Qu's mother said in the film, "We spent our whole lives looking for our correct answer."

"In the past eight years, our four seasons have been winter."

In 2020, the epidemic disrupted Qu's pace of studying abroad, and her mother resolutely turned her attention to Beijing's rare "strong school of ice and snow"-Beijing private school.

In fact, in Beijing, there are not many schools to choose from for children who play ice hockey. When I first chose primary school, my mother wanted to choose a "less academic" school because she knew that ice hockey would take up too much time.

As a mother in Haidian, Chen Rui's mother disagreed with the general "involution" in those days. In an interview, she said, "Everyone is talking about' double drop' today. In fact, we achieved the goal of' double drop' three years ahead of schedule."

With the improvement of children's ball skills, Qu's mother urgently hopes that he can study in a school that can not only ensure adequate training, but also have excellent coaches to take care of his studies.

Jiahui school is undoubtedly the best choice, and its "double excellent project" makes mom shine at the moment.

From kindergarten to high school, every student in Jiahui School must study ice sports, equestrian, golf, tennis and other courses.

At Jiahui School, traditional sports such as ice hockey, equestrian, golf and tennis are written into the list of compulsory courses for every student.

Physical education class is held every Friday for six weeks. As long as the children who have attended primary school for six years in Jiahui School are complete, all the above special courses must be basically mastered. You can do promotion after junior high school, you can choose to join the school team, or you can do extra training.

For example, in junior high school, children in ice hockey double-excellent classes practice on the ice three times a week. In a school year, they have 65,438+04 training sessions and 65,438+06 friendly matches, competing with their own schools, foreign schools and clubs. "Only by combining competition with training can children improve faster." Teacher Grace Wai Wong, the person in charge of the Green Snow Skating rink and the Double Friends Project, said.

Jiahui school skating rink is 5000 square meters, and the real ice area reaches 1.800 square meters.

Being able to provide these courses, Jiahui School also has hardware strength that other schools do not have. Dad is great. I used to count. In Beijing, the only school with first-class sports venues such as racecourse, skating rink, golf course, tennis court and 50m standard swimming pool is Jiahui School.

In many projects, Jiahui School invited national team coaches and foreign coaches to give full-time guidance to children. The current ice hockey coach is a former national team player and is a well-deserved idol in his heart.

Strong soft and hard strength+compulsory curriculum system for all staff, which is why only Jiahui School can hold a unique ice and snow sports art festival on the ice with thousands of people.

For children like Chen Rui who often need to go out to play games, Jiahui School will also provide them with online tutoring from 1 to 1 to make them learn more efficiently, consolidate their academic foundation and pave the way for further development in the future.

However, it was the qualification of Jiahui School that finally made Qu Ruichen's mother decide to come here. By 2022, Jiahui School will have a history of 29 years. Jiahui School is not only one of the earliest private international schools in Beijing, but also the first IBO member school to recruit students from China, and the first school to introduce equestrian, ice hockey and golf into compulsory courses on campus. ...

"I especially agree with the maturity of Jiahui School. As a result of time, everything in Jiahui School is done just right and very comfortable. " Chen Rui's mother said that she still remembers that Qu was once elected as the representative of English class by the English teacher. "I said there must be a mistake because his English is not good. But the teacher said, yes, I don't look at grades. Chen Rui works hard. He can drive many children to work together. This is why I chose him. "

Studying at Jiahui School has also given "Bing Dad" and "Bing Mom" a lot of help. Although I still have to drive to the club to play games every week, I can finish my daily training at school, saving a lot of trouble.

At the same time, a more professional coach, a more stable team and a more scientific combination of competition and training have also spared parents the hard work of acting as sparring partners. Needless to say, Jiahui School also offers generous scholarships, which also frees parents from this "burning money" movement.

"In the past eight years, our four seasons have been winter."

On the constant temperature ice rink, there are children who are in full swing. On the sidelines, there are parents who wear down jackets to watch the ball nervously all the year round. It takes a long time to put on their equipment every time. Ice hockey requires parents to spend a lot of time and energy. However, parents said, "there are always people who pay more than you, but we don't regard hardship as hardship, but as a kind of happiness on the road of common growth."

At the end of the movie, Chen Rui and his mother skate on the wild ice. The little boy almost caught up with his mother's height. He carefully took his mother's arm and patiently guided him to walk on the ice. In the evening sunshine, mother and son felt each other's company.

Sports itself is education, and the growth of children's hearts is always more important than trophies. "Every time you succeed or fail, you must sincerely trust your child, pay unconditionally, focus and persist. In this process, victory and trophy are natural, success and failure are born side by side, and it is the best gift for children. "

"What's written behind?"

Before being "seen", ice hockey remained in the category of "minority", but there are still many children like Qu and their families who are sweating silently for their dreams.

"Excellence, respect and friendship" are the three cores of the Olympic spirit.

Dr. Constantino, majoring in electronic engineering at UCLA, once said:

Exercise is not an easy thing. Besides taking part in competitions, you should spend at least two to three hours training every day. If you can get good grades and hold a leading position (such as captain) in a sports team, you will be regarded as a special talent.

This may also be the reason why cases like "playing golf in Yale" and "writing sports news reports in MIT" have appeared frequently in Jiahui School for many years.

It may be very tiring to choose sports in order to achieve "blue ocean overtaking", but in such a big environment as Jiahui School, sports, arts and disciplines can develop in a balanced and all-round way, and it is natural to go to school, which is probably the charm of holistic education.
