It can be said that he is a descendant of a famous family who was born with a golden key: his parents are both racehorses of the Central Jockey Club, Japan's top horse racing club, and his father has "royal blood" and has won the G1 Emperor's Award, Japan The overall champion of the horse racing league, and his mother is also a "hero among women".

Yes, it is Chunli the horse racing horse.

However, this horse with high hopes and pure bloodline has lost 113 games in a row:

In Chunli’s maiden race at the age of two, among the eight horses participating , it ran last; in the second race, it was second to last; in the third race, it was last; in the fourth race, it was first from last...

It ran almost all horse racing all over Japan. The field, however, seems to be cursed, and failure has become inertia and necessity.

Until the summer of 2003, when Chunli entered the twilight years of her competitive career, she still had not won a single match.

But although Chun-Li never won, her story spread further and further.

When Chun-Li lost her 100th consecutive game, NHK, the most influential TV station in Japan, broadcast a news story to the country titled "Complete 100th consecutive loss at Kochi Racecourse", and later added The 10-minute feature film "Lost Superstar - Chun Li".

As if overnight, Chun-Li became a star in the Japanese horse racing world. People came from all over the country to watch Chun-Li race, fearing to miss her first victory.

However, even the top-ranked jockey with 16 consecutive wins at the time did not change his fate of losing streak.

When Chunli was 9 years old (equivalent to 40 years old in humans), she had reached retirement age. According to the regulations of the Japanese horse racing industry: a horse that has never won in its life will be sent to a slaughterhouse to be killed after retirement.

This aroused widespread attention and sympathy, and people strongly opposed it, hoping that it would be saved from death. Some people even set up a website to launch the "Chunli Pension Foundation", and soon raised enough for 10 horses. Chunli’s pension money;

The Kochi Prefecture Senate held a special parliamentary vote, and 81% of the members finally agreed: Even if Chunli still cannot win a victory before retiring, she can not be slaughtered!

There is no precedent in the world for convening a parliament over a horse.

As everyone expected, Chunli was sent to her hometown to "retire in old age" after retiring. She and her father served as a "healing horse" here, specializing in soothing people's hearts and cheering up the losers;

Subsequently, Chun-Li's museum also came into being; various audio and video products of "The Song of Chun-Li" were also very popular;

Later, a movie of the same name was dedicated to depicting Chun-Li's legendary life. "Chun-Li" was released. This was the first documentary film with horse racing as the theme in Japanese film history, and became one of the best-selling films of the year;

Later, two books with Chun-Li as the protagonist were also released. was published, and one of the books, "Run, Urala", was also released in Chinese.

Perhaps many people see the epitome of their own lives in Chunli - despite repeated defeats, she still fights repeatedly, remains unyielding, and always maintains a positive attitude and strives forward.

Writer Li Xiaoyi said in the book "First Make a Life, Then Find Love" that "winning" is a skill. Knowing that you can't win, still not giving up to strive for a better result for yourself is open-minded and even more important. The true meaning of the word "effort".

Geniuses and good guys are always the limited edition of life.

Just like each of us, it is impossible to be an excellent person, but we can be a better version of ourselves.

As teacher Xiao Yi said: "Those who try their best but are not dazzling, and those who work hard but are not successful are still worthy of applause."

Don't abandon, don't give up, the future It’s still possible!

The administrator of the Kochi Jockey Club at the time once said: Chunli has brought a ray of light to the difficult current situation of Kochi horse racing. Regardless of the outcome, as long as you work hard, you will be appreciated by everyone. The decision of the council It fully shows that this concept has once again been affirmed by people.

Just like those who love Chunli say: Chunli is not No. 1, but she is the special only one!

Chunli’s spirit is worthy of our deep thought.

In the new year, give it to every one of us as a token of encouragement!
