Second, the entry threshold.

It can be said that without coach Sun Haiping, there would be no Liu Xiang now. It was Sun Haiping's efforts that turned Liu Xiang into a hurdler and opened the prelude to the new myth of China's track and field.

Liu Xiang/Kloc-began to practice high jump at the age of 0/4. Although he is at the top of the team, he is only an amateur athlete. In the summer of 1998, the famous coach who trained China hurdler Chen at that time thought that the child was tall, had a good sense of rhythm and had a unique innate advantage, so after meeting Liu Xiang, who was only 16 years old at that time, he prepared to earn his own income.

However, Liu Xiang's elders are opposed to Liu Xiang becoming a professional athlete. They are afraid that they can't get grades, and hope that Liu Xiang can get ahead academically like ordinary children. After understanding the thoughts of Liu Xiang's family, Sun Haiping had an informal meeting with his father at the entrance of Liu Xiang's dormitory. He said that Liu Xiang was talented and had a good sense of hurdle rhythm, so he was a piece of material. Persuaded by Sun Haiping, Liu Xiang's father finally agreed to let Liu Xiang stay and took the initiative to do ideological work for his family.
